vue - The power of introverts | Susan Cain
http://www.ted.com In a culture where being social and outgoing are prized above all else, it can be difficult, even shameful, to be an introvert. But, as Susan Cain argues in this passionate talk, introverts bring extraordinary talents and abilities to the world, and should be encouraged and celebrated. TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change, Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Bill Gates on malaria and mosquitoes, Pattie Maes on the "Sixth Sense" wearable tech, and "Lost" producer JJ Abrams on the allure of mystery. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts.

my colz doesn't let me work alone i hate this type of educational system.
you shoud be allowed to free alone without peer pressure and teachers pressure -
I am ashamed of being alone and quiet for years. My siblings would make fun of me because I have no friends, I'm the weird kid in class and my teachers and parents would warn me if I keep this up I would be struggling in workplace. Makes it even more scary.

What I find wierd is that when I talk to friends, I sound like a typical extrovert.

When I was really little everyone now would tell me that I wad more outgoing than now, but for years when I turned maybe 9 I became shy. When I was 11 I begged my parents to make me homeschooled, I hated school. When I finally was free, I started getting what I call: "common sense" or actually thinking basically. My mom was always, "Oh read this, read that! Since you are so shy just read!" I would read, sometimes now, but I can't keep myself focused on a book. I always go back to writing a book. Most of my time I spend online talking to people I will never meet in person. My dad keeps telling me to stop 'being shy' BUT I'M NOT! I see myself falling in the middle if the two. I assume, like she said in the video that being shy is not being an introvert. Obviously my family doesn't know that...
I am now 13, just turned 13 on the 30th of December of 2016. I always try to make the way I walk, right.. Keeping my shoulders back and not to move my feet and hands weirdly. I wear braces and glasses. My parents are having relationship problems, which the stress of that caused my dad to get stage 1 cancer, I'm positive he didn't tell me everything though. I have every reason to be shy, but that's the last thing I try to do, I'm not caring to much about looks. If people say something bad about me in public. It's not like they will see me again! I don't have friends in real life, I ask my parents to send me to a writing class with KIDS MY AGE. But they are busy with, like I said problems.
I just need to focus on my homeschool, I'm going into the 10th grade soon. -

I think her thoughts are great, but they could be a bit more concrete.How do we teach how to work alone, as well as in groups, and how do we make both topics interesting for both parties, and etc.?

Is it weird that I'm an introvert but I'm quite a good speaker but when I'm not presenting i love to sit alone and just being alone but people mock me saying that "it's quite wrong that you're being quite you should be around with people and be loud like when you're presenting " it's hard.

I'm an Ambivert

She wrote a book called 'Quiet'. Believe me, it's magical.

I have to! Fallen fallen is TED the great, becoming a shill to the mental health bubble! WE WANT PHYSICS!

I still don't know if I'm an introvert or extrovert. When it comes to talking with people, I don't like initiating the conversation. I generally only like speaking with people I'm close to and hanging out with people I know. Doing routine tasks is boring to me, though. I always want to go experience new things, new events, even if it means there will be a crowd of strangers, but only with people I know going with me and as long as I'm not the center of attention..

She totally spoke out every single thought in any introverts possible! I can be an extrovert at times, but I'd prefer being solitary most of the time. It clears my mind and "recharges" the energy drawn when socializing. There is nothing wrong with being an introvert, we just live a different lifestyle than what society wants us to be. Just remember, introverted is not the same as being shy.

I always hated working with groups.
-
Her book "Quiet:The power of Introverts in a World that can't stop talking" was hella insightful. If you liked this video, I highly encourage you to go out and look for it.

I'm so glad to see all you like-minded people. I'm a complete introvert as well as autistic, and a teacher mentioning group-work makes me want to run out of the class. I can sometimes get out of it, sometimes not. I'm proud of myself when I do it...but what's the point of group work? It just puts all the work on the smart ones who have done the reading, like me, and lets the slackers benefit from our work.
-
I need my professors to see this. The amount of group-work in college is ridiculous.
-
like is of your a introvert like me. : )

Is George your favorite Beatle ?

I read this lady's book and it taught me much about myself, leadership, and working with others. I am an extroverted intro-vert, to meet me, you may mistake me for an extrovert, but I really enjoy thinking problems out, and creating whatever from products to better national policy to etc, etc, etc. I am really most at home by myself with just enough social interaction to test my ideas before putting them into motion. I had a hard time in high school because most high schools promote social activity and constant interaction and something that no one can define called leadership. I have been in several leadership roles as an adult but needless to say, I have given very few pep-talks, or lets get excited lectures, and etc. I do give guidance, guidelines, direction, specifications or goals i want to them to achieve and then I step out of the way and let them achieve it their way. I only step in if failure is imitate. If they don't hear from me then it means that they are doing a great job, unless something is unusually insightful or exceeding expectations; then I will say something like "that is really good". (that is about all I say) By our society this is a rather bland leader that can be uninspiring to some. I expect the other person to create the creativity, resourcefulness, and learning to carry out my goals so that they can rejoice in their own creations and insights. Needless to say I ended up spending most of my life in product design where we tell other professionals what we want to achieve while forgetting to tell them how to achieve it. As I am getting older, I now know why Bill Gates had to start Microsoft. Corporate America would never pick him as leader and wouldn't tolerate his leadership style.
