At the very beginning of the 20th century, psychiatrist Carl Jung gave a characteristic of a special psychological type of personality, literally “turned inward,” namely introversion. A self-absorbed introvert is the flip side of a noisy and active extrovert and, according to statistics, there are 30% of them in the world versus 70%, respectively. So, what are the main distinguishing features of introverts.
Instructions
Step 1
The most important difference is that the introvert draws energy from his own reserves. He does not need to "feed" from others, as does his extrovert antagonist.
Step 2
Long-term communication with people is always stressful, especially with strangers. And it is for this reason that sensitive introverts are much more comfortable working alone.
Step 3
An introvert always knows what to do with himself and if it may seem like real torment to someone - to be within four walls, then an introvert feels great in such an environment. He is never bored alone with himself.
Step 4
An introvert is prone to introspection, laconic, prefers listening more than talking. And, by the way, these people are wonderful listeners, that's who it is worth learning this wonderful trait from. And if he speaks, then only about those things that really interest him, from them you will never hear conversations about anything. Outwardly calm, but this does not exclude a storm of emotions inside. Many people mistake this for arrogance or overly modesty.
Step 5
Many people are often annoyed by the excessive lethargy or sluggishness of an introvert. In a conversation, he can allow long pauses. But all this happens because often an introvert chooses words very carefully or thinks over his actions.
Step 6
There may be some introverts who wear the mask of an extrovert. They are quite difficult to recognize, but in a conversation they prefer to talk about their interlocutor, and topics related to their personal life are carefully avoided.
Step 7
In their work, these people are very responsible and punctual. If something goes out of control, does not go according to plan, they start to get nervous.
Step 8
They try to minimize contact with people. And therefore, for them, as for anyone else, it is very important to find a suitable job so that it does not remind them of hell.
Step 9
The extreme form of introversion often leads to a serious problem - social anxiety. But this is another story and it is necessary to influence it with the help of a specialist.
Step 10
Don't assume that introverts have no family, no friends, and no normal job. This is a huge misconception. You just need to understand that these subtle people are not able to open up to everyone, but only to a select circle. There is no need to accuse them of being uncommunicative or withdrawn, or to impose your communication is a big mistake. It is necessary to give the introvert time and if he sees in a person a point of contact, a single wave, then he will certainly let him into his heart and it will be very difficult to find a more devoted, sincere and best friend.
