What is an introvert?

Introverts are people who get their energy from being alone.

My first character, twelve-year-old Bicycle, is an introvert, and so am I. I love making new friends, but I need time alone every day to recharge. Spending hours alone reading is like heaven for me.  We introverted types can often be misunderstood as unfriendly, shy, or even lonely, This isn't true! We like people, just not huge amounts of them for huge amounts of time. (Six hours at school can be a big challenge for us.)  The main thing for us is to know ourselves and honor who we are.
