Seeing the kind of #### my extraverted friends get themselves into in relationships, friendships, and other situations by jumping head first into things without much thought has made me appreciate my introverted side just that much more each day. Not to say I don't make my own share of mistakes, but I'm just thankful for the perspective it's gained me in just being able to take a back seat sometimes, and take calculated risks more often than many I know who've put themselves into difficult situations without much of an understanding as to how/why they got there. Sure, at moments it can suck. Sometimes you just want to jump right in and say what's on your mind in any situation without even thinking about it, but the wisdom that comes with being introverted is invaluable at a young age.
