Introverts are often mistaken for being shy, and while that's true for some, for others, it's just a case of absorbing and observing what is happening around us. Introverts are deep thinkers, so when you do speak, you are articulate and concise because you have been mulling over what you want to say before saying it out loud. Don't be goaded or rushed into speaking; what you do have to contribute will be worth the wait.
