The other day, a friend sent me an advert for a writing ‘camp.’ ‘Wouldn’t it be fun? we could go together!’ Camp: joining strangers at an unfamiliar place and being forced to interact. This is my hell. ‘But cool, like-minded people!’ Still nope. Why? On being an #introvert, a 🧵

Desde el año 2011, cada 2 de enero se celebra el día mundial de los introvertidos (World Introvert Day). Ser introvertido es diferente a ser tímido. Lo resumo de una forma fácil aunque es un tema algo complejo.
Ser introvertido es sentirse vivo, feliz y capaz sin tener que interactuar mucho con otros. En mi caso, la gente que no me conoce, se sorprende que no soy conversadora (ni simpática) pero trabajo en comunicación y crisis.
Pues bueno, no soy tímida ni antisocial ni incapaz, pero si introvertida. Los introvertidos obtienen energía de su mundo interior. Por eso la importancia de fortalecerse por dentro: meditar, hacer ejercicio de respiración, leer, hacer ejercicio físico que requiera concentración.
