I am an introvert. I am the way you describe them. I prefer to say I am shy because if I am with people I know and trust I can be the life of the party or at least contribute to the fun. LOL Good Essay. With one eye I will watch and listen to movies. Reading puts more unnecessary strain on my eye. Well done, Dear. Nancy:)

Hi Nancy,
Thank you for the insightful comments. Yes, you nailed another trait-- introverts can be the life of the party when they are with people they know and trust.
Enjoy the day!

I enjoyed this. You write like I do - history major's love using bullet points. Your essay was informative and clear yet by personalizing the subject you evoked emotion. We all know people who fit the two diverse categories.
Well done.

Hi Michele Will,
It is nice to meet you. You mention history majors. Are you one?

I am happy to hear you enjoyed this essay. Thank you for mentioning how sharing personal experiences helped evoke emotion. It is good to know what works.

I guess the bullet points I use are due to work. I had a boss who hated reading paragraphs and wanted details for action to be made in two or three bullet points of one sentence each. They also make things easier to read and locate in an email.

Have a wonderful new year.

Yes, history papers can be mind boggling without organization. I also used the method extensively in my career as a developer.

Thank you for this! It was informative and fun to learn more. I had never heard of national introvert day, thank you! I appreciate the variety of information you put in from the history, to activities, to what being an introvert means!

Debi,

What a fun post. I usually try to stay caught up on all the National Days but don't always look at the bigger picture - yikes! What does that say about me? haha

I enjoyed this well-written piece. Thanks!

Hi Robyn,
Thank you for the encouraging comments about the writing. I followed the National Day Calendar last year and thought, why not choose an interesting day now and again and write about it this year. Today was a fun topic to research.
Have a wonderful 2021.
