50% of the American population is made up of introverts, however society has a negative stigma placed on the word. In her talk, grade 12 student Crystal Robello provides insight on the struggles of being an introvert in today's society as well as reasons to show there is nothing wrong with it.

Telling an introvert to speak up is just as rude as telling an extrovert to shut up.

Introverts should have a separate country. It would be the best country in the world.

introverts speak out seldom but when they do they make more sense than a thousand extroverts.

I'm an introvert and I hate to have useless conversations with anyone. I talk only when it's necessary, only on things that matter and that's why I don't have any friends. Although I enjoy my own company sometimes I feel lonely.

Some people mistaken us introvert as arrogant or rude just because we dont talk too much or cant hang out with them just like what they do.😐

Being an introvert, I could say that, its the best gift of the nature as you don't need any person to make you feel happy and just surrounded by few but true people in once life. Introverts maynot express their love,idea verbally but they express this in their actions..
