What are introverts?

An introvert is someone who gains energy from being alone or with a few close friends instead of being around lots of people.

Imagine you're at a big party with balloons, music, and tons of kids running everywhere. You feel like you want to hide under the table, that's how some introverts feel when they're in a crowd. They need time to recharge by going somewhere quiet, like their bedroom or a park where it’s just them and maybe one friend.

Think of an introvert as a battery. When you're at the party, it's like the battery is running on high power, using up all its energy. But when they go to their room and read a book or play with one toy, that’s like plugging in the charger. They slowly get more energized again.

Some introverts love going out sometimes, but after a while, they need to go back to their quiet space, just like how you might want to take a break from playing video games and go read a book.
