Most people don't know that I am a bit of an introvert. Basically an introvert is someone who isn't very interactive and prefers to spend time alone rather than in small or large groups. Everyone assumes that introverts are upset, arrogant, or negative, but that is not true! Being an introvert is a good thing, and here are some of the reasons why:

You Are Able to Think Clearly

When you are with other people, you are unable to think clearly or express your ideas without having someone interrupt you or having your thoughts mixed up with someone else's. When you are on your own, you are able to have clear thoughts and concentrate on what you want to accomplish when working on a project or processing your thoughts after a book you just read.

Being More Creative

Your creativity is at its best when you are spending time writing, making art, or even doing photography. Sometimes when I would take a walk around my neighborhood or even around campus, that is the best time for me to take some of my best photographs. That time is the best for me to capture such beautiful moments when I am on my own.

Ability to Focus

Sometimes it is better to work on your own than in groups. From my own experience working in groups, it was pretty much a disaster than being able to concentrate on your own. The people that I would work with would talk on top of one another and on some points complain about what needs to be done. That is why I work and focus better alone because I am able to get everything done the right way.

Less Talking, More Observing

Another thing about being an introvert is our increased ability to observe and analyze more than talking. Whenever I am watching a movie or reading an article, I like to analyze what is going on rather than question about it to everyone.

Being On Your Own is the Best Company

Overall, being alone is a way to reflect on your past week or if you just need some quiet time.
