Have you ever watched The Walt Disney films?

For instance, SNOW WHITE AND THE 7 DWARFS,


FROZEN 2, CINDERELLA, SLEEPING BEAUTY, POCAHONTAS or THE LITTLE MERMAID, just to
name a few.
These are all the Disney Princesses who have their unique characteristics. Princess Snow White
and Princess Elsa are very quiet and demure. They don’t mix with outsiders except for the 7
dwarfs and the snowman. Unlike Cinderella and Princess Ariel, they are dreamers who want to
leave their current life behind and move on.
What do we call these kinds of characteristics?

So, as for today, I’m going to share with you what Introvert and Extrovert are. We often hear
the terms introvert and extrovert which are terms that specialize in a person’s personality, but
how many people know the meaning of introvert and extrovert? The term was popularized by a
famous psychologist from Switzerland, Carl Gustav Jung. He explained psychological analysis is
done by examining the individual nature of many individuals to see the differences in introverts
and extroverts characters. Every individual has an introvert and extrovert side, it remains to be
seen which one is more dominant to be described as one’s personality.

The world of introverts and extroverts are indeed many differences, which is why we need to
place differences as unique things for us to complement each other.
In general, an introvert is a person who is less active while an extrovert is a very active person.
An introvert is a person who likes to be alone and prefers not to socialize. Introverts tend to be
quiet and deliberative. They prefer one-on-one meetings and working on their own.
Extroverts tend to socialize and do activities outside. They also tend to be outgoing and bold.
They gravitate toward roles that put them in the centre of attention.
According to global data, most people are extroverts. Only 2/10 people are introverts. So, being
an extrovert is natural and being that introvert is a boon. Even so, most introverts always and
easily feel uncomfortable either in public or at certain events.
So is it better to be on Team Extrovert or Team Introvert? Neither. If your team is dominated by
extroverts, you can run into conflict about who’s in charge; if the team is full of introverts, you
may end up with too little communication.
To discuss the differences between introverts and extroverts is of course no end. So, I will share
my position and what I have experienced as an introvert.
I admit life as an introvert is very difficult. Even the smallest thing can make me nervous. For
example, recently I face a new norm of so-called post-covid-19 in school. Of course, it was a
strange thing for me. The night before, I couldn’t sleep well because I was worried about
making mistakes. As an introvert, small mistakes I make in front of people can ruin my day.
Other than that, I like to opt for restaurants or eateries that are quiet for visitors. When in a
crowded place people, I feel as if all eyes are focused on me.
Another difficulty I experienced was when making a presentation. I easily strayed from the
original script due to extreme nervousness, like today. (small laughing)
From the family's point of view, the family constantly urges me to socialize more outside
because they are worried about seeing me who would rather be at home.
In terms of emotional management, I find I feel calmer being alone no matter where I am.

The advantage of being an introvert is, I like to prepare earlier and more neatly. When my
environment changes, I will always be wary of the possibilities that will happen. In addition, I
am more diligent to be active in the aspects that I like only. whether in academics, co-
curriculum or future planning. I also notice that I am more worried about the fate of my
direction than other friends.
From my observation of an extrovert, they are more open-minded and go about their lives
without thinking of the pros and cons of it. Extroverts are also more inclined to talk off and
show their true attitude regardless of time or place. But, extroverts easily get distracted.
Being an introvert or extrovert is not a big problem. But what is more important is the
acceptance of ourselves and those around us towards introverts and extroverts. Acceptance of
those around us is very important to create a peaceful and safe sociality.
Lastly, highlight my words that differences make us unique and united. So, spread the love not
to hate.
That’s all from me. With that, I, thank you.
