THE INTROVERT PERSONALITY

Being an introvert means that one shows the personality traits of introversion. This means that the individual in question feels more comfortable focusing on inner thoughts and ideas rather than what is happening around them.

Introverts are mostly associated with being shy, quiet, or just do not like to spend time with others. This might be true but that does not mean that it applies to every introvert. Today’s post will be centered on the introvert’s personality and signs that show that one might be an introvert.

Introverts feel comfortable with being alone. This is not shocking as introverts are known to be comfortable by themselves. Get a group of introverts together in a room and I am quite sure that they would either use their phones, listen to music and just avoid each other. Yes, it may get lonely and they would want to be around people but they know that it’s best not to overdo it.

Introverts prefer to write rather than talk. Through writing, they can share their thoughts without having to utter any words. This might come as a surprise but introverts don’t really like to talk unless it’s something they’re very passionate about. Also, if you happen to be friends with an introvert, then you are probably one of the few who have heard them talk a lot.

Anyone who is an introvert surely dislikes group work. This is especially for students and it can get annoying. As people who prefer to be alone, it’s very clear that introverts would like to work by themselves. This might sometimes come off as rude since it's sometimes hard to work with others and deal with their antics. But you’ve got to deal with it especially if your grades mean anything to you.

Introverts tend to have very few friendships. Note that there’s a difference between friends and acquaintances. Introverts might know people but not enough to consider them as close friends.

Just like a rechargeable lamp, introverts need to “charge their batteries” after being around a lot of people. They just need some time by themselves so they can relax, daydream or just imagine nice stuff. Everyone needs a bit of a recharge once in a while but introverts need it constantly.

Being an introvert doesn’t always mean that you are shy, quiet, or even timid. We are just a tad bit misunderstood sometimes. Hopefully, this helps to see introverts in a new light and understand them better.
