My Inner Struggle: Quiet or Loud?
Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Have you ever been asked this question? Have you ever asked yourself this question? I ask myself this question every day. Extroverts are easily spotted by their outgoing and expressive nature. They seem to find joy in social engagements, being in crowds, networking and starting/carrying conversations.
