    Assalamualaikum and very good morning to Miss Najwa and my

    fellow coursemates. Today I will be presenting a persuasive speech


    entitled “It is okay to be an introvert.”

    Speak up. Be more assertive. Don't take things so seriously. Get


    over your shyness. Come out of your shell. Do any of these comments
    sound familiar? If so, you may be an introvert. Many introverts have
    painful memories of being told to change who they are and to act
    more like their extroverted peers. Such messages may start when
    introverts are young and continue into adulthood. So, the main thing
    that I want to address in this talk is there is nothing wrong with being
    an introvert. Society always portrays that being an introvert is the worst
    thing ever.

    So, what is an introvert? An introvert is a quiet person that doesn't


    like to talk very much and likes to keep their thoughts mostly to
    themselves. They prefer calm, minimally stimulating environments.

    There are some common signs of introverts. For instance, being


    around too many people drains your energy, you have a small group
    of close friends, people may think you're quiet and may find it difficult
    to get to know you. Besides, you are very self-aware and enjoy
    solitude. Being an introvert does not mean that you are shy or have
    social anxiety. Some introverts do, others don't.

    Shyness and introversion are not the same thing. Shyness is


    related to social anxiety and fear of being judged. Meanwhile,
    introversion is broader. Some introverts can be shy, but others prefer
    being quiet and solitude for reasons.

    There are some reasons why it is okay to be an introvert. Firstly,


    you were born that way. Introversion is genetic, and infants will show
    signs of being an introvert within a few months of birth. Introversion is
    considered normal, healthy temperament. So, be proud of it.
    Next, some of the greatest people in history were introverts.
    Examples of famous introverts include Bill Gates, Albert Einstein, J.K
    Rowling and Mahatma Gandhi. Because introverts focus and think
    carefully on how to do things, they are often more than just OK- they
    are high achievers.

    Besides, introverts form deeper relationships. Extroverts tend to


    strike up a friendship with almost everyone they meet. It’s easy to envy
    that — but many of those relationships aren’t actually that deep. In
    fact, extroverts tend to have wide networks of hundreds of people
    they barely know, while introverts tend to have much closer
    relationships with a smaller number of people. When you form close,
    lasting relationships, you tend to be surrounded by people you can
    truly count on. And, since you take the time to get to know those
    people on a deep level, you will be capable of truly profound,
    mutually enriching conversations — not just small talk. That's why
    introverts form a deeper relationship.

    Last but not least, I want to ask this simple question. What makes
    a leader a leader? You probably had been told that why be a
    follower when you can be a leader? But what about every leader
    needs a follower? Let's look at Donald Trump, President of the United
    States. Do you think he’d be where he is today without the support of
    the people? If everyone was trying to be a leader, no one would really
    succeed as it is followers that define a true leader. But, that’s not to
    say that an introvert can’t be a leader. Let’s look at Abraham Lincoln
    and Mahatma Gandhi. They are all incredible inspirational leaders
    and introverts.

    In conclusion, it’s more than just OK to be an introvert. When you


    learn to understand your personality, and you make it a priority to get
    the quiet time you need, it becomes a source of strength. You can
    draw on your introversion to be thoughtful, observant, a good listener,
    a creative thinker, and a beloved friend.
