has got a particular and unique identity and understanding this part of people
has made relationship cordial and has reduced the rives that should have risen

It is very important as an
individual to understand yourself and as well understand the people around you.

From the under listed are the characteristics
of introverts and you can as well evaluate yourself and know where you belong;
1. Introverts
prefer to be alone
One of the most important characteristics of introverts is
being alone or staying alone. They appear as reserved and most time keep to
themselves. They hardly share moments with anybody, they prefer to do things
alone without seeking help from anyone. It
is actually not their fault they love being alone, that is just the best way
they don’t lose energy and also gain more energy. When they are with people,
people want them to talk and interact and this is a major factor that drains
their energy. The more they talk, the weaker they become. If you discover
you don’t like being with people or you love to be in dark places where you can
be alone, then, it is likely you are an introvert.
2. Introverts
are more connected to the inside world than the outside world
Another important aspect of introverts
is their relationship with the inside world and the outside world. Introverts prefer to relate with themselves
or talk to themselves than talking to other people. Seeing others alone
weary them not to talk of staying and chatting with them. If you love the inside
world than the outside world, they you are likely to be introverted.
3. Introverts
hate socializing
Introverts are known to be very poor
at socializing. Though not all, most introverts are shy. They actually don’t know
to be lively during a chat even with a fiancé or fiancée. They are hardly seen at functions and they are hardly interested in
what is done at social functions.
4. Introvert
always have a plan
Introverts, due to their ability to
think through things, they hardly do things unplanned. If not all the time, introverts plan their lives most of the time. They
hardly do things without planning. De facto, they would have thought of ways to
achieve the things they want to do before they start at all.
5. Introverts
are deep thinkers
Introverts stay alone most of the
time and therefore have enough time to think about things that are even weird
to imaginations. Don’t be surprised when you discover that many of the
inventors we know are introverts and the most formidable example is Albert Einstein. Even things that do
not exist, introverts think about them. Therefore, this accounts for the
idealistic part of introverts. When it
comes to critical analysis, introverts are very good. They are smart and
intelligent and this personality is known to affect their relationships, most
times negatively.
6. You
are cautious and reflective
Introverts
hardly rush whatever they do. They achieve though it may not be immediate or drastic. They
always look back at their actions and check on their mistakes to prevent
further occurrences. Even when selecting a partner, they slowly do and are very
cautious. They hardly do mistakes and that is because they take their time to
do things. Introverts analyze situations and even analyze the partners they
want to go into relationship with. If the
relationship seems to be non-mutual or beneficial, an introvert will likely opt
out.

7. Introverts
are good observers
Due to the ability of introverts to
think things through, being calm, reserved and keeping to themselves, they seriously
study their environment and people around them. Though they may not mention, they can say one or two things about
people around them. They hardly go into agreements or promises because they
actually see people from far without saying a word. They know a lot about their
environment; however, they keep to themselves a lot and people don’t know
they actually know things.
8. Introverts
hate small talk
Though introverts keep to themselves
and love to stay alone, they actually talk and even at length. It is just that
they love to talk about things that are very relevant and important. They speak
about their experience and even love to advise people. They love to discuss a
new knowledge they just gained and they interact well with productive people
and people that are sapiosexual like them. Therefore,
don’t think introverts are dumb or dull when they don’t talk to you, you might
just not be making sense to them and they won’t like to waste their little
energy interacting with you.
9.
Introverts love to have in-depth knowledge
about something
Yes, introverts are voracious readers and sapiosexuals. When
they are determined to know a thing or achieve a thing, they nearly do all
things possible to achieve it.
They go extra length to acquire knowledge; they love experience too. Therefore,
when introverts speak about a topic, you clearly see that they understand what
they are saying. Even if an introvert struggles with a topic, he will go back
immediately to the source to get more understanding. Introverts are daring and they fall in love with knowledge.
10. Introverts
are the cats while extroverts are the dogs
Finally on this series, introverts act similarly to the cats
and the extroverts like the dogs. Hardly would you know if a cat is around you,
so silent, observant and lonely. However, when a dog is near you, she wants you
to play with her, cuddle her, and know she is around. Even if you ignore the
dog, it comes to you to acknowledge her presence. Cats behave like the introverts while the dogs behave like the dogs.
This is not in any way to victimize a
particular personality, rather it’s an avenue for everyone to understand and
appreciate nature. It will also help to understand introverts as they are more like
the weaklings in the society because they are misunderstood due to their calm
and silent characters.
Whenever you see an introvert, please appreciate one, it is not easy to carry such a personality, they wish they could relate with the external environment and the world, however, they lose energy faster than they gain in the process; they are drained and become weary. So they avoid the external world and you say they are reserved, shy and clueless. No they are not; their nature is what you see.
