Psychology distinguishes two types of personality: extroverts and introverts. The modern world is more focused on extroverts, whose qualities create the image of successful people, so it is often more difficult for introverts to live in such an environment. It is important not to struggle with this feature, but to accept it and learn to behave in accordance with your nature.
Instructions
Step 1
Introverts differ from extroverts in that they do not draw energy from the outside world and the people around them, but look for it within themselves. Introversion is often confused with withdrawal, uncommunicative, social anxiety, but in fact, an introvert can, if desired, be sociable, not shy, open and benevolent. But communication with other people and focus on the outside world require energy from him, so periods of loneliness and solitude are very important for him.
Step 2
It is more difficult for introverts to live in modern society, where qualities such as communication skills, activity, curiosity, the desire for competition, openness are considered important and encouraged, and isolation, reticence, closeness are condemned and perceived as disadvantages. The popularity of loud concerts, huge open offices, tours of several cities in five days in the company of other tourists, and other phenomena show that life is mainly aimed at extroverts.
Step 3
Parents-extroverts try to "stir up" their children, thereby forming complexes in them, the school tries to instill in students the desire for social activity, causing only rejection in the child. These labels lead to the fact that the introvert begins to consider himself flawed and tries to fight with his own characteristics, and in fact - with himself, but does not achieve results. Introverts can learn to successfully imitate extroversion, communicate a lot and often with people, spend more time in society, but this takes away their energy, so they still seek solitude to rest.
Step 4
Don't struggle with your own characteristics. Do not adjust to the world around you, but try to remake it for yourself. This does not mean that you need to cut off all ties and remain alone. You need to learn to take breaks and rest to recuperate. Try to avoid situations in which you will suffer from your introversion - do not go to noisy parties, do not maintain empty conversations in lines, do not let barely familiar people invade your privacy. But do not forget that you should not give up communication skills either.
Step 5
Adapt to your characteristics. Find a job that suits your needs - you don't have to be an account manager, but become an accountant, writer, editor. If you are going to relax, choose uncrowded places, small hotels, do not take excursions, but see the sights on your own or in a company with family or friends.
Step 6
Develop self-confidence, introverts tend to worry about small things and look for flaws in themselves, but this attitude will lead to low self-esteem and increased anxiety. Love yourself and don't respect your nature.
