Take a moment right before you get in your bed with laptop/remote/controller in hand. Think about your day, the whole thing from start to finish. All of the good things, sucky things (don't dwell on them, that's not the point!), and everything between. Focus mainly on you, total introvert status. Did you help anyone today? Did you do anything to contribute to society? Or did you just watch vine piles on Youtube and spam Instagram hashtags? Nine times out of ten (myself included) you just wasted space another person could be occupying. Pretty much anyone more deserving of your life could've handled it way better, right? Feeling bad about yourself? You should be. Think of all the miracles and great feats you could've done that day, but you didn't. All of the spare time and opportunities flushed down the drain. Take a second to mope about it, you deserve it.
Now suck it all up and think of it this way. You just made a great To Do List for tomorrow. :D
I was feeling this exact way today. Pissed I wasted a whole day on the internet. Well, multiple days... Then I realized, instead of wallowing in my laziness/failure, I can analyze it and use it to my advantage. Thomas Edison is the perfect example of this. He said himself, at least he'd figured hundreds of ways not to build a lightbulb. :)
I could've parked the mouse and fallen asleep to my Youtube playlist a fat fox, but then I decided I may as well write this down as something productive I did for myself and others. Have a good night, everyone! ;)

Not to say being an introvert is a bad thing. Many of our revered geniuses were.

Exactly, I think it is safe to call myself introverted, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I think being introverted can be more beneficial, actually. I you play more to your own success, you wouldn't really need others for much, and extroverted people don't have to worry about you.
