    Its good...

    Most of the famous people who have made massive changes to the world were introverts...

    After all, to gain specialised knowledge, to study, practice, experiment, learn, you have to be alone for lengthy periods of time. To understand the inner world is to understand human beings and what motivates them. The more you go into yourself and learn, the less you become superficial and judgmental. And ultimately, you meet God.

    To know God, know yourself, for they are one and the same. To think you are not God is to think you are separate, which is to deny omnipotence. There is a never ending depth to yourself . The kingdom is within. Take heart, be brave and courageous and journey inward. Then after a time you will re-emerge with treasures and spoils which serve Humanity

    Good, objectively. It means you are thoughtful and down to earth and don't feel a desperate need to go round drawing attention to yourself.

    Extroverts will say it is bad and because they are louder their message tends to get across but don't listen to them. They are just envious that you are so secure and self-contained.

    Practically speaking it can be hard to get a job as an introvert, no matter what your level of ability and experience (that is what I have found anyway!)

    Also some introverts can find it hard to be assertive and be listened to. There are ways to do this and still be an introvert (look at Clint Eastwood's characters, for example) but it might take some practice.

    Good luck!

    It's neither, it's just part of who you are. Introverted people are happy with their own company for most of the time- like extroverted people need to socialize, etc. It's not bad because if you want to be alone, then you're getting what you want- and people should always pursue what makes them happy (as long as it's not harming anyone else).

    Neither. It's not simply about good or bad -- but about what you can (or want to) accomplish understanding that you're an introvert.

    Its definitely not bad to be one. Just to arouse your curiosity; check out this site: http://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-te...

    Answer a few questions and believe me, it will show your true colours. You will notice, if you are an introvert, that actually being one is not that bad after all.

    Source(s): I am kind of an introvert too.

    I find that few people actually knows what it means to be introverted.

    It means you have the capacity to look inward, into your own self, to have deep thoughts... and in general are more than just an instinctive ape.

    Extroverts are reactive to environment... and to other people... and they identify themselves according to these relationships. It doesnt mean they are particularly "social" or that they have friends.
