Coming Out of Introversion: a Healing Book for the Lonely

Hahaha I always thought I was an introvert, but later I discovered that I actually want to be the center of attention in the crowd, and some just like to be alone and think. I hope that friends who have read this book will no longer define themselves as introverts. What I mean is that whether we are introverts or extroverts, we should jump out of our comfort zones to discover more wonderful things about the world.

I am very grateful to the author of this book for sharing her story of trying to become an extrovert. It is very relatable to me as an introvert. Because I am introverted, I dare not speak in public or try new things easily. I feel that I can only find my own world by staying in my own small circle. Of course, today's society does not seem to be friendly to introverts, but I think why should we change ourselves? I have read this sentence, you don't have to become extroverted, introversion is fine, but when you need to speak, please be brave. As long as we are neither humble nor arrogant when we need to express our opinions, and speak bravely, it is already great. It may be difficult to obtain this courage, but as long as we are willing to try, what can we not do?

I still remember "Resurrection" Nie···· Dov, our species should be reborn in a hurry. Everyone is lonely, plus late bloomer is introvert. A person's personality will not remain static, introversion will be a process, and there is no need to rush out. Every introvert can be a speaker. There's more social awkwardness than fear, but most of the time that's not a bad thing. The most serious situation is: shy in the world, and will have to live in the world. Here are Shi Tiesheng's words: "Awkwardness is a valuable ability. Because self-questioning is the beginning of all love and thoughts. If you suddenly find yourself in an embarrassing position, it is not worth panic, and it is best not to escape. It is better to let it disturb your conscience day and night, question your beliefs, and activate your thoughts; the day of dilemma may be the time of extraordinary discovery, which is almost a rule."

There are some parts in the book that make me feel crazy and embarrassed. I admire and yearn for the author talking to strangers and standing on the stage. I also like to be alone. I can't get in and am not interested in what the small group is talking about. This atmosphere makes me uncomfortable. So I was alone, and they asked, "Aren't you embarrassed?" But I will be very comfortable this way. In fact, I am very willing to make some new friends and talk with them about my thoughts on life and society in this world. But I have never practiced it. I am afraid that they will think I am strange, and I am also afraid of offending them. So having deep conversations with strangers, which is maybe a little crazy, because I don't know if they want to talk about this. But as it is written in the book, you just sent a text message, and even if they don't respond, you have nothing to lose. The following excerpts are for me and you who want to challenge yourself in the future. We don't have to choose to step out of our comfort zone, but we can take a look at the unknown beauty. Maybe it will be bad, maybe it will surprise you. No matter which choice you choose, it will be your best choice, because it serves your present moment. It doesn't matter, my dear, you are always the best. But I also encourage you to challenge some things that you don't seem to be able to accomplish on your own. The world is a big place and there are many amazing things. Let's ask, what is the meaning of life? If you can't find it, go see the world. We can take our time, honey, I love you forever. Come on, you can't run away from the battlefield, the strong one is to face the difficulties. I wrote in my notebook: "A loser who is content with his status quo is a complete loser." Remember! Embrace the unknown, choose your response, customize your sunny days and rainy days. But actually I don't feel like I have to have the wider world at all. But I want to see it, know what it is like, and then choose the kind of life I want to live. Even if the situation is not as perfect as expected, even if a small or large innocuous mistake occurs, the universe will not collapse, the sea will not flow backwards, and we can still see the sun tomorrow, right? However, I didn't really understand such a simple truth until today.

There are no real introverts and extroverts, there are only who you want to be. A gentleman should be restrained but not a coward, and he can speak out when faced with injustice.

This book resonated with me because I am also a bit of an introvert. The "Extrovert Year" plan mentioned in the book is very interesting. The author tried many things that I would never dare to think of. I think everyone has their own unique personality and there is no need to change it. But sometimes when you try something new, you may find yourself different. The translation is also very good and easy to understand. I like it very much.

I thought it might be due to regional differences. Many of the events she took the initiative to experience seemed far away from me, or they were places that I could never reach within the scope of my life.

The author's experience and experience are very good, but people are different, and human nature is complex. It is best to learn from it, and appreciate it if you cannot learn from it.

I want to get to know and make friends with the author, really.
