Tips N Guide: The Inferior Quiet Side of Introvert
Having An Introverted Personality Myself, I Know What A Struggle It Is To Be Misunderstood By Most People.
Why do you think your introverted personality is inferior? Do you feel out of place in a world where extroverts are often admired? Perhaps you’re surrounded by extroverts and feel like you need to change?
Introverts are often misunderstood. Many people don’t understand how you can be shy, anti-social and even a little grouchy sometimes (hey, I am too) but still perform incredibly well at work, live life happily, and don’t need constant external stimulation. The truth is we are all a little bit introverted and more extroverted depending on our energy levels and what we’re doing. We simply have different mechanisms for dealing with our life circumstances appealing to us depending on which one is more applicable at the time.
The world is currently in the “extrovert bubble”, where a lot of people believe that one should spend endless amounts of time socializing, networking, and doing other “outgoing activities” in order to be successful in life. The reason why I am dedicating this article to extroversion vs introversion is that it is far too common for people to negatively judge introverts in our society today.
Introverts Are Underrated Thinkers And Listeners
You have the ability to observe, understand and empathize with others more than they’ll ever realize. Your ability to think critically has given you independence and a strong sense of self. You’re not afraid to disagree with others — when necessary — and you can come up with creative solutions that others miss entirely.
I’m an INTJ, a deep thinker who is constantly curious about everything and always looking for connections between ideas. This is a trait that people tend to associate with introversion — but it doesn’t have to be that way. As long as we can learn to appreciate the skills that come naturally to us, we can overcome whatever biases we might have against ourselves or others whose personality types are different from ours.
You have the ability and power to focus on things that matter.
As an Introvert, you have the ability and power to focus on things that matter. You have a tendency to analyze things before making decisions. Your mind is constantly working creating insights and ideas that are always right on the money.
Introverts tend to be more comfortable alone than others, which means they know how to take care of themselves and their needs. They’re less reliant on other people for validation, which gives them greater freedom and allows them to follow their own dreams without worrying about what others think of them.
Introverts also tend to be more observant than extroverts, which is a valuable trait in any profession that requires a strategic mindset. Introverts are good at reading the room — they notice the subtle cues that can make or break a deal. In fact, many successful entrepreneurs are introverts because there’s no better quality than being able to read the room when you have an idea that could change the world.
Introverts have many hidden skills and interests — it’s not that we don’t like other people, we just don’t think it’s necessary to immediately start talking about them.
Society often views introverts as people who lack the confidence to speak publicly, or maybe even lack the social skills to hold a conversation with other people. It’s assumed that we’re just shy and anti-social, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. In fact, introverts are highly skilled and often choose to speak less so they avoid saying something they don’t mean. We focus on what we actually want to say instead of wasting our words on meaningless topics. Introverts also have many hidden skills and interests — it’s not that we don’t like other people; we just don’t think it’s necessary to immediately start talking about them. Personally, I’ve picked up more than 9 musical instruments since young, illustration and digital art skills, photography skills, production skills, business skills, handcrafts, and more.
I’m an introvert, and I’m proud of it. Not because I think there is anything inherently superior about being an introvert, but because I think the way we value different personality types needs to change. It’s time to stop thinking of introversion as a flaw or inferior trait and start understanding that we all have our own strengths, weaknesses, and preferences that are dependent on individual temperament.
They don’t like small talk. But, they are deep thinkers and love to ponder over many topics.
Deep thinkers by nature, introverts do not like small talk but prefer a good, intense conversation. They are intelligent, love to ponder over many topics, and are usually very knowledgeable. While they may not be the most social people, they will be the best listeners. They can spend hours upon hours thinking about their hobbies or passions. They appreciate their alone time where they can dive deep into their thoughts and feelings. Their quiet nature can be taken as a lack of confidence in social situations, but this is often not the case. It is simply because they do need a break from constant stimulation and prefer to recharge alone with their thoughts.
Not only do introverts have rich inner worlds but they also tend to be more sensitive than extroverts. This means that they feel more deeply and have an extremely high level of empathy for others which makes them great friends and partners. Introverts are often very thoughtful and picky when it comes to choosing friends, preferring quality over quantity when it comes to relationships with others. For those who have introverted personalities, it is important to find friends who understand them and don’t see their quiet nature as a flaw or weakness.
They don’t like meetings that much and prefer one-on-one discussions instead.
Another way that introverts differ from their extroverted counterparts is in their preferred forms of conversation. Introverts often prefer text-based communication, while extroverts tend to prefer face-to-face interaction. However, one trait all introverts share is that they need time alone to recharge. This can be true regardless of whether or not they are outgoing by nature, which makes it difficult to tell an introvert apart from an extrovert at first glance. Regardless, it is important to remember that just because someone seems quiet and reserved doesn’t mean they’re not interested in making friends!
Being an introvert is not a bad thing. Sure, some might say that extroverts are more outgoing and have better social skills, but you can’t deny the fact that introverts are also great people. Introverts don’t like being in the spotlight that much. They enjoy spending time alone, and they prefer to spend time with one or two close friends rather than going to parties. They don’t like meetings that much and prefer one-on-one discussions instead. Some of the most influential leaders in the world are introverts, such as Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg. Introverts are actually good team members because they listen well, speak only when they need to, and share ideas with their team members before presenting them to their managers. They can also work well with other people without having to be the center of attention.
Talk about Recommendation
Don’t let society be your guide on what a successful life is. Don’t let constant pressure claw away at your soul, as you feel obligated to push yourself further and further, forced to work in a career that repels you. Your introverted personality does not have to be portrayed as something inferior. You will be surprised at how many traits can help you become successful when you embrace your strengths.
The key to finding peace in this world lies in accepting the introverted nature of people and the extroverted nature of people. Accepting diversity is important for social harmony.
