Introverts are reserved and dreamy; parents too are a bit aggressive when it comes to introverts.
Introverted males experience a lot of toxic masculinity from peers while females are ridiculed as snobs by boys and men.
Look around you. Wherever you are — in a matatu, at work, at school, or at any social event — there is always the talkative guy probably trying to score a beautiful lady, the silent guy who seems distracted and distant, and the one who seems to be a bit of both.
The first is an extrovert, the second an introvert and the last an ambivert — the three major personality types. Growing up, I found it hard to embrace my introversion since it was seen as a flaw, something wrong. My teachers and peers kept telling me how “shy” and “slow” I was. Many children go through this and end up having identity issues.
