 Often when people think of introverts, they picture painfully shy
individuals terrified of meeting new people and struggling to carry
out conversations.
 This misconception is one the main reasons introversion is
sometimes perceived as a character flaw rather than a normal
personality type. After all, no one wants to be labeled as shy or
socially awkward.
The myth is perpetuated because introverts are more likely to be shy
than extroverts. However, they’re not linked, and shyness is
considered a social phobia.

 According Susan Cain, “shyness is the fear of negative judgment
while introversion is simply the preference for less stimulation.” In

 We know that introvert + high stimulation = big dopamine release.
And a big dopamine release is no bueno for introverts.
 So, what works better for them? Acetylcholine
 Unlike dopamine—which causes excitement from external
rewards—acetylcholine gives you a pleasurable feeling when you
turn inward,
and it’s happy juice for introverts. This is why introverts enjoy
daydreaming; the happiness they get from pondering ideas is similar
to the happiness extroverts get from a crowded room of people.
