I am an INTROVERT!

Are an out-going person? or the shy type?

What is Introvert? Extrovert?


According to About, An introvert is not simply a person who is shy. In fact, being shy has little to do with being an introvert! Shyness has an element of apprehension, nervousness and anxiety, and while an introvert may also be shy, introversion itself is not shyness. Basically, an introvert is a person who is energized by being alone and whose energy is drained by being around other people.

According to Wikipedia, Extrovert is "the act, state, or habit of being predominantly concerned with and obtaining gratification from what is outside the self". Extroverts tend to enjoy human interactions and to be enthusiastic, talkative, assertive, and gregarious. They take pleasure in activities that involve large social gatherings, such as parties, community activities, public demonstrations, and business or political groups. Politics, teaching, sales, managing, brokering are fields that favor extroversion. An extroverted person is likely to enjoy time spent with people and find less reward in time spent alone. They enjoy risk-taking and often show leadership abilities.

Learn more about Introvert. Here are some points to know, these are according to the studies of Laurie Pawlik-Kielen :

• Introverts process their emotions, thoughts, and observations internally. They can be social people, but reveal less about themselves than extroverts do. Introverts are more private, and less public. Introverts need time to think before responding to a situation, and develop their ideas by reflecting privately. Introverts' personality traits can be passionate, but not usually aggressive.

Introverts can focus their attention more readily and for longer periods of time, and they aren't easily swayed by other people's opinions.

• These introverts enjoy talking and listening to people, and going to parties and events. But most introverts would rather be at home. Introverts can find small talk easy but tiring – and sometimes boring. They'd rather have meaningful conversations about the depths of human souls and minds, but find few opportunities (those aren't your usual conversations at water coolers or dinner parties!).

An introvert's personality traits aren't necessarily tentative or hesitant, but introverts do prefer to think before they act. When introverts are ready they take action!

• To recharge their batteries introverts need to be alone reading, daydreaming, painting, or gardening – any solo activity fills them up again. This doesn't mean introverts have to live alone in a cave in the hills or on Walden Pond; they just need quiet time to come back to themselves. The energy source for introverts is from within.
• Introverts' personality traits include increased blood flow in the frontal lobes, anterior thalamus, and other regions associated with remembering events, making plans, and problem-solving.
• Introverts don't necessarily have a fear of intimacy – but they can be more difficult to get to know than an outgoing, friendly extrovert. Dating and relationships for introverts can be challenging.

I am more likely an Introvert than Extrovert. I am out-going but I'm easily get tired. I enjoy seeing people play without joining the group. I am an athletic person but I'm a bit aloft of socializing to others. I am a good communicator to my friends that are close to me( of course!) rather than to others or even to acquaintances. I don't like being the center of attention because its giving me the creeps and hard look of others. I love reading or listening to music rather than partying outside(but I sometimes party when I want to! :laugh:), I more likely a home buddy. I rarely open any of my thoughts, ideas and observations but when I like to talk about it, I reflect and arrange my thoughts and words before blurting it out. Dating and being in the relationship is quite good for me and it's very challenging to be in it.

Here are some points to learn about an Extrovert:

• Extroverts are very comfortable in groups, and may be even happier as the center of attention. Traditional extroverts' personality traits are self-confident, enthusiastic, gregarious, friendly, and outgoing. Extroverts love crowds: the more people around, the better life is! Extroverts like public demonstrations, community events, and other large social gatherings.
• Extroverts are interested in what's happening outside themselves: their surroundings, people, noises. Extroverts don't tend to enjoy spending time alone, and they get their energy from other people. A significant extroverted personality trait is that energy flows outward (not inward like the introvert).
• A circular effect may occur: extroverts communicate well and enjoy being with people, which leads them to seek social situations. Extroverts' personality traits include honing their social skills, which leads to more enjoyment of group activities! The opposite effect may happen with introverts who may not have strong communication skills, making them uncomfortable with people. Thus introverts avoid social situations.
• Extroverts have more brain activity in the posterior thalamus and posterior insula. These parts of the brain are associated with sensory input. Touch, smell, sight, taste, and sounds seem to have more impact on extroverts than introverts.
