Introverts are just like other people, who want to do what they want to do, they just choose it to do quietly so that no one disturbs them and they can stay out of the limelight.

Although not literally true, there is a scientific explanation for this. Indeed, Einstein's Theory of Relativity is perfectly applicable, and explains the particularities of the world we live in.
