Misunderstanding and fear of the criticism are two very common barriers of critical thinking.

Critical thinking is defined as the type of thinking where a person goes beyond the normal day to day ideas of explaining a situation and thinks in a different way to solve out a problem. But this idea is very difficult for introverts.
