With public speaking, practicing congruence is very helpful - allowing the words to be expressed with the face and body. It helps to think of simply "turning up the nonverbal volume."

Introverts are collectors of thoughts, and solitude is where the collection is curated and rearranged to make sense of the present and future.

I am rarely bored alone; I am often bored in groups and crowds.
