Contemplations on Introversion

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.
