INTROVERT Meaning and
Definition
-
An introvert is an individual who tends to primarily direct their focus, energies, and thoughts inwards rather than towards the external world. It is a personality trait characterized by the preference for solitude, introspection, and the need for personal space and time to recharge.
Introverts are often reserved and enjoy spending time alone, finding solace and inspiration from their own thoughts and inner world. They typically feel energized by solitary activities such as reading, writing, or engaging in creative outlets. Social interactions can be draining for introverts, leading them to seek solitude to regain their energy. This does not imply that introverts are shy or lacking social skills; instead, they may experience socializing as mentally and emotionally demanding.
While introverts may thrive in introspective and solitary tasks, they can find large social gatherings overwhelming and may prefer small, intimate settings. They often engage in intimate conversations and build deep connections with a few close friends or family members rather than seeking numerous friendships. Introverts appreciate their own company and have a rich inner life, often displaying strengths such as reflection, thoughtfulness, empathy, and the ability to listen attentively.
It is important to note that introversion is just one aspect of personality, and individuals can possess a blend of introverted and extroverted characteristics. Everyone falls somewhere on the introversion-extroversion spectrum, and introversion should not be equated with shyness, social anxiety, or a lack of social skills.

Etymology of INTROVERT
The word "introvert" originates from the Latin word "introvertere", which is a combination of two Latin roots: "intro", meaning "within" or "to the inside", and "vertere", meaning "to turn". In Latin, "introvertere" described the action of turning inward or directing something inward. Over time, this term evolved to become "introvertus" in Late Latin and then was borrowed into English as "introvert" in the 17th century. It initially referred to the act of turning one's thoughts inward, and later came to describe a person who tends to be more internally focused, reserved, and reflective in their temperament.
