20 THINGS ABOUT INTROVERTS

 
I listed 20 things that I think people should know about introverts. These might just help you to truly understand your less talky colleague or friend.
But before I list the things, let me tell you who an introvert is.  Introversion is one of the major personality traits identified in many theories of personality. People who are introverted tend to be inward turning, or focused more on internal thoughts, feelings and moods rather than seeking out external stimulation. Now, sit tight and see the list.

1. I must have time to myself to get refreshed.
2. I like being around people, just not all the time.
3. I don’t talk much. But whenever I speak, I’m careful enough to select my words.
4. I’m a great listener. You can come up to speak to me anytime.
5. I enjoy being around outgoing people. It shows how social I can be at times.
6. I’m a likable person if you give some time for me to get comfortable around you.
7. Big groups are too much for me. I like being a part of smaller groups of people.
8. I like being with myself but I don’t want to be lonely.
9. I like deep conversations. Chit-chat is not my thing.
10. Since I’m a quiet person, I observe everything. I’ve seen and heard it all.
11. Weirdly enough, I work much better when I’m around people.
12. I don’t have enough courage to seek help. So, if I do, you know I genuinely need it.
13. Health, self-care and proper sleep are of big importance to me.
14. Saying yes to trying new things, without overthinking, is hard for me.
15. Parties and meetings tire me out. It needs maximum social interaction. Thus, I need extra time to regain my energy.
16. I like identifying as an introvert. But at times I do envy the friendlier people who can be the star of the party.
17. I try staying away from people I do not connect with. So, if I do give you my time, know that you’re special to me.
18. I’m actually not the most quiet person ever. I just speak when I feel like I have something to talk about.
19. Instead of having lots of people I do not like being with, I like having fewer friends who are special to me.
20. If you manage to gain my trust, I will support you forever. I’m one of the most loyal people you will ever meet.

Introverts are self-sufficient. But they do like being around people who are important to them. Instead of pushing them away, you can try to understand who they really are.
