An Insightful Illustrated Essay That Explains How Introverts Process Information

So Quiet

Authors Liz Fosslien and Mollie West have written an insightful illustrated essay that deftly explains in fantastic detail how an introvert processes information and socializes in direct comparison to those who are extroverts.

Dear Extroverts,

We love your energy and your excitement. But as introverts, we sometimes feel misunderstood. We wish you could visualize what’s going on inside our brains—you might be surprised! Here are six illustrations of what it’s like to be in our heads.

Sincerely,

Introverts
