“It’s hard to be brave,” said Piglet, “when you’re only a Very Small Animal.”
Rabbit said: “It is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us.”
Piglet was so excited at the idea of being Useful that he forgot to be frightened. ~A.A.Milne

Introverts hate rushing into things. They don't do "right nows". They need time. To think. To analyze. To stare at a wall and ponder over it for a while. To calculate the ins and outs. If you rush, they're out. If you want them in, they need a week's notice. At least.

For years, Southern Water has failed to listen to residents’ concerns.
Enough is enough! Southern Water must get a grip on the excessive raw sewage and the stench emanating from the Water Treatment Plant, 𝗻𝗼𝘄… not next year, as they’d previously suggested!
Over the past year, I’ve taken this fight right to the top, raising the issue in the House of Commons on several occasions.

Introverts stay quiet but they notice everything. Even the things you thought they didn't. The nervousness in your walk. The confidence in your tone. The lies in your eyes. The words people say to hide what they don’t. But they stay quiet because they know the why behind the why.
