What do you think about when you hear the term “introvert strengths”?

Let me guess. 

You’ve been told to speak up more, get out more, and get out of your shell SO many times that you are now drawing a blank.

All the societal messages idealizing extraversion are so pervasive that it’s easy to forget that introverts actually have strengths.  That it’s not only fine to be who you are, but that introversion actually comes with positive qualities that people around you can benefit from.

So I’m declaring today Introvert Appreciation Day and listing 19 introvert strengths that you should be proud to possess! 🙂
