The humans have a freedom of choice, but their choices and options have become limited due to internal and external factors, one gets exposed to during his or her life. The drug abuse is an active kind of self-harm that one selects by his or herself to inflict on him or herself. The hopelessness is the defining condition that leads to self-harm of one sort or another. However, the extroverts have the tendency to develop close ties with others because of their significant outgoing, and social dynamics of their lives mediate socializing skills, and therefore, their choices are affected from communal pressures. The introverts develop deep psychological and mental issues because they cannot have the power to share their problems with others. They feel powerless in front of the worries of life, and they grow tendencies to develop the habit of addictions and drug usage.
The chances of extrovert’s recovery from a psychological issue are more than those of their introvert friends. The introverts have the ill-habit of internalizing the stimulus of the world with every possible detail because they do not have the power to let go of things, and they carry burden of sorrows and pains all the time. Nevertheless, introverts are less likely to grow as the life of the party, but they can be artists, painters, actors, and writers because of their ability to pay attention to details. They have an unproven intellectual capacity, and they need to have a conducive environment in order to flourish in their respective professions. The role of teachers and parents remain a significant one in terms of helping the introverts’ development to take place. The extroverts have a pronounced ability and competency to fight through hard times that life has to offer. However, they intend to find humor and joy in every moment of life. The introverts do not have the adequate cover versus the worries. They have to understand life in more etiquette sense so they have to be impressed towards having pleasures of life as well. The interpersonal interaction will not make any difference in the introvert’s life, but he or she is going to decide to take drugs and misuse them on his or her own. The idea to save introverts from themselves lies within the hands of immediate family and close social circle. The extroverts have the tremendous level of energy that they invest in themselves and others as well. The extroverts are more susceptible towards the influences of external nature, and they have to be guided to live with the certain sense of serenity in order to prevent them from derailing in the realm of drugs while they conquest for pleasures and joys.
However, the introverts need to get out of themselves, and strive to fulfill some kind of higher purpose in their lives in order to have a happy existence. The introverts use drugs in order to relax their tensed minds, and extroverts catch the awful habits from the media. The introverts need to become partially extrovert in order to find pleasures of life and the extroverts have to learn the sense of serenity from their introvert fellows to give sense of direction to their lives. Both of the persons can solve their psychological issues by reading and understanding each other.
