to speak or not to speak

To speak or not to speak

Until few months back,I assumed being introvert meant you consumed less energy talking and preserved most of it being focused in honing your skills to prove the world wrong and that being an underdog with latent talent to just surprise the world at the right moments. My view was shaken after observing someone in my workplace. The change was well, the more you talk, the more gifted you are, the more developed your brain is. Because you talk more, you socialize more, you learn more than taking own efforts to find the answers and instead step On others knowledge, which is called being smart these days as it saves time. It also means you are not lonely and your brain is happier and can do its memorizing functions well, can retain more, learn faster and act as a catalysis to your smartness enhancement program running in the background of your main brain OS. While this could be said for people who are better examples, may not be true for those who are sad inside and therefore talk so much, so as to fill that void. In that case, being introvert and being lonely are definitely not the same thing.

You can be happy, whether you are introvert or extrovert. It's just a symptom not a measure of your happiness or intelligence.
