The Power of Introverts

• Societal views on introversion are that of "weird" and "awkward" if you don't talk, especially in group settings. This is difficult for me to identify with because I, myself, am an introvert. I think it's also because you may be the one who encourages other introverts to speak up as well. You could lose a unique opinion without introverts. Introverts often have an eclectic mind and without that perspective you could lose the "leg up" that you otherwise would have gotten had that person not been included! Being an introvert myself, contrary to popular belief. I've learned when or when not to share my opinion and it usually depends on how passionate i am about the subject. often times it's just easier to let everyone bicker and then make your point after it all dies down. I don't really like conflict. I'd rather be involved with the process of conflict resolution.
