An introvert is someone who tends to be inward-focused, enjoys solitude, and feels drained by
social interactions. Introverts prefer thinking, introspection, and tend to be more reserved in social
settings. They are generally calm, thoughtful, and less talkative.
On the other hand, an extrovert is someone who is outward-focused, enjoys being around people,
and feels energized by social interactions. Extroverts are more talkative, sociable, and outgoing.
They thrive in social environments and are generally more expressive and enthusiastic.
While introverts may prefer solitary activities such as reading or writing, extroverts enjoy group
activities and socializing. Both personalities have their strengths; introverts are good at deep
thinking and concentration, while extroverts excel in communication and leadership roles.
