Currently, we live in a world handmade for extroverted types of people. Teamwork, compromising, and bonding are probably three of the main pillars of our society. If we think like introverted people, these three behaviours don’t sound very appealing.
"To Exist Among Others" explores the deepest ends
of introverts. Introversion doesn’t necessarily mean being shy. This characteristic is associated with finding pleasure
in solitude, being fulfilled when one is with one's self.
This does not translate in isolating from others, they
still establish relationships with the people around them. However, they are able to find comfort in their own thoughts.
Now imagine getting inside the mind of a person of such kind. What are their fears? Their thoughts? Their big hopes and dreams? What do they do? How do they
feel? And if you watch closely, do you recognise yourself
in them? Can you call yourself an introvert? Even better,
can you own it?
