    Answer

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

    The person I'd be speaking about today would be myself. I think I'm really introverted and have been since a younger age. And the reason for this I think would be that I don't really have an interest to talk to other people unless I really have a reason to. But other than that, I think that's what makes me introverted for the most. There could also be things such as I don't really interact with many people because I'm anti-social. But to me, I don't see that as a bad thing as I often enjoy my own presence. And I have been since a very young age, which has helped me grow a lot in life. Other reasons, I would say that additionally, I would be introverted because of my upbringing. I think I was really focused on my goals, which really made me distance myself from people. But other than that, I don't think I would have any other reasons of being introverted.

    Band 6

    The person that, the first person that I know is introvert is my sister. She is a really introverted person. She also checked her MBTI, that is Myers-Briggs personality test assessment which came out as INFP, that is an introvert who is perspective and emotional as well. I got to know her as she is my first person on my mother's side. She is a really close sister of mine. We share our concerns with each other over the phone every day. The reason why she hates going out is because she doesn't like the idea of people looking at her and her being the attention of the room. The center of attention brings out shyness in her. That is the reason why she doesn't like to talk with people and not go outside the house.

    Band 6

    I have a lot of friends and family in my mom's house who possess different personalities, some are introverts and some are ambiverts and some are extroverts too, but the person who is the most introvert person in the house is my father. I would call him an absolute introvert person because he doesn't like to talk to many people including his own children.

    Band 6

    Okay, the introvert person I wish to talk about is my mother. I am living with her since very young age and I have seen her being introvert in many situations like when we go to a hotel or when we go to a wedding function. She never asks someone for something which she needs. Even if it is like very necessary, she will request me or any of my relatives to get it done for her. And she is very secure to herself and reserved to herself that she never asks for anything to anybody. I feel this character to be a little disturbing as it doesn't give her much independence in this fast moving world. So I definitely feel she can improve a lot with this character and she can try to be more friendly and socialize with people in order to see the other side of the world.

    Band 6

    A really introvert person I know is Nisha and she was a classmate of mine for two years and I feel she is really introvert because she never talks or plays loudly and prefers books. We can call her a book nerd and she is also very smart. I always feel very bad for her and I also feel scared whenever I approach her because something which makes her feel insecure or maybe I can hurt her feelings easily because she is a very introvert person and she doesn't like forming a group like others and she doesn't like doing group tasks. She prefers doing it alone and she is very interested in the subject math. She is also very good at it. She scores high scores but she never likes telling the person her scores and she never talks with anybody. That's why I feel she is introvert.

    Band 5-6

    So, that person is Charan, I know him from my college of engineering. I feel he is an introvert because he doesn't explore much, he doesn't talk to anybody. His character of speaking to others is very less compared to others. I feel he is an introvert because he doesn't share anything regarding his personal things, family things or any educational stuff. For example, when I am more hurted, I go share everything with him, I go speak out my heart. But even I doing that, I expect him to be the same with me. But till the date, he is my good friend, but he never open up, he keeps all his things within him. The introvert thing, I can give him a suggestion to be like an extrovert, going to people, saying what's in the heart or in the mind. It's a good thing to have a better clarity in the mind. Being introvert is sometimes good, in other hand, I feel it is also good because people expecting me to say all my things can be stopped.

    Band 5-6

    The introvert person I know the most is my elder brother. He is almost, his character is sometimes shy and always looks sad behavior. He cannot interact to anyone with any occasions. But, I mean, any more, anything like that, but he is always a good person. But having good qualities like lovable, caring. But he cannot interact with anyone in any situations to do him a very bad one. And already all of them thought that why he can't look that face. Why you should stay away from any occasions or anything. Moreover, he had some little bit conditions that involved in this introvert. The most one is the missing of my father. That harmful affected him. These days he is very much stressed and all the tensions he had. From that incident he looks behavior like introvert. I think most of introvert persons have these conditions. Any reason behind them. So, all of them must come forward to the technological world. And come forward their careers. And they cherish their achievements.

    Band 5-6

    I would like to say introvert person definitely. It's me only. Because my friends, every person is an extrovert only. So I myself, I will describe how introvert I am. Because I feel to do something means inside my heart only. I used to tell, I have to do, I have to do, I have to do. But never I have been there and doing something like that. So I most probably if I want to go explore means I can't go alone. So I used to, I want to call somebody to make sure that you have to take them. But in my time, myself, I confused that whether I have to call them or not. So I most probably will be very silent myself. And anybody calls means I will go with them. But I won't call them with me. Because I always used to think that if I call means they will think wrong or something. Because of that I won't call anybody also. And most probably I want to buy few things. I want to explore all area also. But some of the shyness and feel guilty and some of, something in my mind and everything will be confused. So I am not able to do those things.

    Band 5-6

    Yes, I know an introvert person in my friend's circle. He is my best friend and I found it in my college and actually he is introvert because of his shyness. One day I was travelling, I had travelled to a train, when first I meet with him and when I reach my college and second time I see him and

    If we talk about the introvert person, there are different personalities in this world. Some people are very quiet, they don't like to express their feelings and some people are very like, you can say that the laugh person and expressive person who he or she can easily speak and tell about the stories. But if we talk about the introvert person, yeah I met with the one person, he is my friend Hamad and he is my colleague also. We completed our college together and I know about him, he is very calm personality, he is very nice but he is like, I feel that he is an introvert person because whenever I observed him, he is a shy person, he never expressed their feelings easily, he never expressed his feelings basically easily. You know, if we are sitting in the gathering, they don't like to discuss with other persons or other personality, this is the good thing but he don't like to sit with the lot of persons in a group and he always use library, live alone, don't like to talk with the persons, reading a lot of books, yeah he have a lot of information but he is just kind of person, he is not like that to express his feelings and fun with the friends, music and these kind of things, he is just cut down the social life.
