Jakarta – Introvert Day, celebrated on January 2nd, honors the quiet strength and reflective nature of introverted individuals worldwide.
It serves as a gentle reminder to embrace solitude, seek inner peace, and cherish moments of introspection.
For introverts, this day is an opportunity to engage in solitary activities that bring joy and fulfillment, whether it's diving into a good book, pursuing a creative passion, or simply enjoying the day.
As information, the World Introvert Day was created by German psychologist Felicitas Heyne who frequently wrote on introversion.
He felt introverts deserved a quiet day after the marathon of holiday and celebrations that started with Thanksgiving/Christmas and ended on the New Year's Day.
The day could help them recharge and prepare themselves for the days ahead.
The terms introvert and extrovert were devised in the 1920s by psychologist Carl Jung on the basis of how people get or spend their energy.
Introverts recharge by spending time with themselves, while extroverts sought other people's company for replenishing their energy.
The best way to celebrate World Introvert Day for an introvert person is to spend time in self-care activities, pursuing their hobbies, watching their favourite movies or series, gardening, or with their loved ones.
As your best friend to take a day off with you and spend an entire day with them. You can also go for a quiet and long walk with your partner or dog to enjoy natural surroundings.
If you are a thinking introvert, dedicate this day for penning a thought, story or a poem. Meditating, reading, watching cinema or just lazing around with nobody around are some of the relaxing activities for an introvert.
