Bravo! When I found the introvert definition I didn't feel like I was locking myself into an "introverted identity" box. I was discovering that many other people feel the same way that I do, and it was incredibly liberating. Even though I identify as being introverted, people are usually surprised when I say that I'm introverted. They feel like I am sociable and even extroverted. A few years ago I gave myself a hard time about it-- why couldn't I keep up with social scenes like others could? Why do parties always burn me out? Identifying as an introvert has explained these facets, and given me the understanding to overcome them when I need to.
