World Introvert Day is a special day celebrated annually on January 2 to recognise and appreciate the unique personalities and strengths of introverts.
World Introvert Day was created by German psychologist Felicitas Heyne who frequently wrote on introversion. He felt introverts deserved a quiet day after the marathon of holiday and celebrations that started with Thanksgiving/Christmas and ended on the New Year's Day. The day could help them recharge and prepare themselves for the days ahead.
