They were brought together in a volatile and ultimately doomed arranged marriage and raised a family in New Jersey before his father returned to India alone. But Deb had never learned who his parents were as individuals.

Was bedeutet es, introvertiert zu sein? Introversion. Viele Menschen denken bei diesem Begriff an Schüchternheit, einen Mangel an sozialer Kompetenz, vielleicht sogar Einsamkeit. Wenige Menschen denken bei diesem Begriff an Saskia Fröhlich. (Bis jetzt.) Die Stand-up-Comedienne begeistert ihr Publikum mit notorisch schlechter Laune – und auf ihren Social-Media-Kanälen mit noch schlechteren Kochskills. Dass sie introvertiert ist, dürften allerdings die wenigsten vermuten. Aber wie lebt es sich eigentlich als introvertierter Mensch?
