A bit late to the party, World Introvert Day, founded in 2011 by psychologist and author from Heidelberg, Dr Felicitas Heyne, was designated for 2. January to acknowledge the toll that the season of revelry and socialising can take on the quiet ones and as an opportunity to raise awareness for the personality type and the challenges experienced by expectations and conditioning for those who are not shy or anti-social—just mentally exhausted by extroverts—and for introverts to take stock of their unique talents and perspective. Suggested ways of celebrating include leaving everyone alone.
