Understanding the INTROVERTED !
Introverted people live in a Human-sized hamster ball.
(Not really but you know what i mean)
The major trait of a true Introvert, as opposed to someone who is withdrawn, is how they gain their energy.
Some introverted traits seem to be ingrained. Others are a result of the culture we live in. For example, many introverts have learned to cope with constant overstimulation by putting up a wall. This leads people to believe that introverts are cold, or standoffish, but this is not our true nature. The innate qualities that most introverts share are a love of introspection, a need for solitude, and a slower, more focused communication style.
Just because someone is introverted doesn't mean
they don't like company.
Interaction is just expensive and they don't want to spend it on something annoying.
Here's What You Do ?
Say Hello, be polite & relaxed, show that you recognize and approve of their presence.
It is important for introverts to feel Welcome. They won't spend their precious energy on someone who doesn't want them around.
If you have interesting /important news to mention , mention it.
Just don't press for Gossip.
Then go back to whatever you were doing.
Now the introverts knows that you are friendly & open to interaction
“Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering – because you can’t take it in all at once.” ~Audrey Hepburn
“Wise men, when in doubt whether to speak or to keep quiet, give themselves the benefit of the doubt, and remain silent.” ~ Napoleon Hill
Introverts are known for being quiet. We are word economists in a world suffering from verbal diarrhea. Society tells us to speak up and speak out, even if that means our sentences are bloated with useless chatter. I’ll take silence over bullshit any day.
Most of the introverts I talk to would agree. Unfortunately, we introverts receive a lot of flack for our wordless ways. We are often asked “why are you so quiet?” To which we reply ——— um ————— ?? ———errr ————. The reason many introverts take a less is more approach to conversation has to do with the way our brain works.
Studies have found many differences between an introvert’s brain compared to an extrovert’s. One key difference is that information travels a longer pathway through an introvert’s brain. This causes us to process information more deeply and is likely why we take longer to verbalize our thoughts. My innie friend Jenn Granneman, creator of Introvert Dear, wrote a fascinating article about the introvert’s brain.
