إِنْـطِـواءْ (introversion)

Among all the psychological schemes that describe behavior, I'd argue that introversion is the one that is the most misunderstood or misinterpreted; at least by the public domain I'd say.
Commonly, people imagine introvert people as those who just don't like to be around others much, or find their joy when being alone, or even shy. While all of that do have some truth in it, but it's not all the truth there is to be.
Introverts still yearn for that social connection - they can still go out and even party, but their "social battery" is just short-lived. They are picky when it comes to whom they connect with, because the wrong connection can easily cause their battery to be depleted. Now, imagine such individuals being in a social circle which has no connection at all - definitely, there is no way to recharge their batteries; Such batteries which are essential to let them feel good about themselves and that they are not going in this life alone, fighting all the invisible beasts of this life on their own. For this reason, I'd say, most introverts are mistaken to be loners or lonely people. For the majority of cases, they are indeed so, because they can't find the proper connection they are yearning for. The world feels, to them, just a jungle with roaring animals without any meaningful aim or purpose but to show the power and might of each one of them. Thus, the nutshell tightens as the time ticks away off their lives.
The next time you see a loner or seemingly a lonely person, check them out, as they might just be some introverts who lost connections to the outside world, and might need help to find one, before their batteries die out - like me…
