"Introversion" and "Shyness"are often considered to be the synonyms of each other. In general, people tend to interpret "Shyness" and "Introversion" as the two sides of the same coin but in real, these are two distinctive terms. There are chances of a "Shy" person being an "Introvert" but "All Introverts are Shy" is not really a universal statement as it is considered to be. People should get a simple fact straight in their heads that...."INTROVERTS" are people who prefer living in quiet environment (mostly) because they are solitude lovers . It is absolutely tedious for an introvert to stay around people for a long time..because it drains out their energy. Therefore, they have a tendency to recharge themselves by being alone and there is nothing wrong in it as the world assumes it to be. Also , Introverts are selective about people. This doesn't mean they are rude, sassy, standoffish, arrogant or anti-social but it simply means that "they" believe in the concept of "quality over quantity" and are "differently social." Similarly, "They" don't have a tendency to speak much because 'They" don't believe in the concept of "ADHJAL GHAGRI CHALKAT JAYE" which means "showing off uselessly" , "speaking uselessly" or just for the "sake of speaking something." These qualities doesn't relate to 'SHYNESS" at all....Infact, Shyness has to do with the fear of approaching the other people and getting to talk to them.
It is absolutely a nonsense expectation of the"so called social people" to ask "INTROVERTS'' to be like them. The world needs to understand, respect and appreciate the 'INTROVERTS" for what they are and for what they can do. It takes time and effort to understand an 'Introvert" and it is not every one's cup of tea.
