World Introvert Day serves as a reminder to adjust how we communicate with introverted individuals, emphasizing understanding over attempts to change them.

Introverts typically speak when they have something meaningful to contribute and express emotions privately, and their quiet confidence should not be mistaken for shyness or a lack of assurance.
