As
an extrovert myself, this question is a bit daunting, but at the same time, one
that brings about a valid point. All too often extroverts rely on others to
recharge them, gripping to the energy that encompasses large groups of people like
a coffee addict who cannot start the day without their first sip. It is
important for everyone to understand who they are and how interactions with
others affect them, all the while accepting and appreciating the differences of
others.
Introverts
understand the depths of themselves and who they are as a person, they are
their primary foundation, changing little to accommodate the responses and
comments of others. I find that when I am surrounded and totally encompassed in
the serenity of nature, as Joseph Conrad refers to in his novel, Heart of
Darkness, “…went into the patient wilderness, that closed upon it as the sea
closes over a diver,” (Conrad). I am
answered, through nature, that loneliness
and happiness can work together in harmony.
Breaking from the usual routine not
only makes one appreciate what they have, but it also makes them understand
more of who they are. I am happy in the wilderness, I am an extrovert who is
happy when I am lonely because it gives me a time to think about all of the
people who have made me into the person I am, through chosen bits and pieces of
others I have built a solid foundation of who I am today. In the loneliness and
enormity of nature can relive the laughter of times past and appreciate the fulfillment
that others bring me. Happiness is found in loneliness.
