Can you be an Introvert and still like being around people?
Hello Coffee lovers,
This weather has been a bit crazy huh guys. I bet its hard to even go out and get yourself a cup of coffee. I bet many of you are uber eating it or door dashing your drinks. I bet many of the introverts’ love this because they rather not have to deal with people. At least my sons prefer it that way.
Talking about introverts for those who do not know what that is let me explain:
What is an introverted person like?
An introvert is a person with qualities of a personality type known as introversion, which means that they feel more comfortable focusing on their inner thoughts and ideas, rather than what's happening externally. They enjoy spending time with just one or two people, max.
And an Extrovert is:
Extroverts are typically described as being outgoing, fun-loving, friendly, and talkative. In contrast, introverts are characterized as being reserved, withdrawn, and introspective with small social circles.
As I been reading some can be both. Can you be both introvert and extrovert?
The continuum between introversion and extroversion captures one of the most important personality traits. ... These people are called ambiverts, who have both introverted and extroverted tendencies. The direction ambiverts lean toward varies greatly, depending on the situation.
I think that is what I am an ambivert. Because depending in the situation I can be all talkative but when it because more than enough people I tend to see my self become quiet. I also love being by myself but many other would not think so because I am so good at talking to people.
I remember I used to call my son shy, but it was that he was shy he just did not prefer to be around certain people. Especially if they have nothing in common. When he is around certain people he will talk for hour and laugh.
So that’s why I say they can be both it just depends on who they are around and how the people make him feel.
Here are a couple things that may help when dealing with an introvert:
1. Give them space. Personal space.
They will come to you when they are ready. Space helps them and calms them and when they feel better, they will go to you.
2. Invite them to events, but don't expect them to come.
They might want to be invited to feel acknowledged but they most likely won’t be ready to be around so many people. If they do happen to come give them some attention but don’t focus to much on them of let other give them too much attention if might make them uncomfortable.
3. Don't call them.
Texting is a better option for them because they will be forcing themselves to talk, and it won’t go well. It is of a dry conversation until they feel they can hang up.
4. Tell them how much they mean to you.
They need to know you really care for them and it may give them a little wiggle room to think about having conversations with you.
5. Let them speak
Most of the time people just talk and talk and talk and since he does not talk that much, they think its ok but its not. Give them room to want to talk and maybe they might make their own conversation in return.
6. Respect their alone time
If they do not feel like being around anyone let them be. It depends on their mood most of the time. If they are in the good room, you will see that they will want to be around you but if not let them be. They will respect you more for it.
7. Make the first step
I can tell you they will never make the first move, because they do not know how to start conversations as easy an anyone else. They also must feel you in a way. Make sure you are willing on talking back to him.
8. Find out their interest
If you find out what they are interested in, they most likely would talk to you about it but try and talk about what they are interested in, and they will talk back.
Believe it or not I prefer to get to know the Introverts because I know how much they have to say but are not ready to say until they get more comfortable.
I hope this help you a bit know the difference and maybe get to know one and until next time see you latte…
