Communication, for introverts

I am a strong introvert, but people who are around me refuse to believe me. That is because, I realised, about a decade, maybe decade and half, that communication is the only way to slow the introverts’ mind.

When you have to convey your thoughts to others, you have to pause, and phrase it in a manner that will make it palatable for the world.

And, as I communicate, I realise that, for introverts, there is nothing that bring more happiness than talking / expressing things they are passionate about. So, I talk about tech, personal finance, life, leadership, philosophy, history, mythology, … and a cross section of applying learnings from one area to the other.
