The world of an introvert is expansive within. In exploring
one’s own mental space, the introvert wanders into the various imagined scenarios, made-up hypothesis and, probable explanations
on certain events that unfold in their daily lives – perhaps best referred to
as ‘mental processes.’
I am an introvert. In observing the [evolution/mechanics] of
my own mind, it becomes clear and apparent that there is an urge, a desire, to
connect my mental processes to the everyday events –at work, with family and
between interactions with friends. [I am not sure if this is true of most
introverts.]
An introvert may have a tendency to live within and in turn develop a vast mental
space to hold out these mental processes. No matter how vast this space may be,
the introvert needs an outlet to convey or connect these mental processes back
to the ‘real’ or ‘external’ world (of everyday events). This may come in the
form of conversations (with close friends and families), poetry or art, or
writing.
This post is a form of channeling my inner thoughts to the external
world. My life is undergoing transitions on many different dimensions at
this point – professional, educational, geographical, and in relationships with
family and friends – and these transitions in turn raises many different
questions, points of contemplation. I am aware that when this phase is over, I
will not be in the position to explore my own introversion-oriented mental
processes anymore (as the orientation of the mental state changes).
This is a post is a way of recording my mental state at
present, so I may be able to look back and make sense of the multiple strings
of thoughts running through my mind at this point in time.
