So, Do you really think being an introvert is bad?
When a child grows up people say "doesn't he speak? Is she shy?" Many parents have felt disappointed and bowed their heads before others listening to this. But parents find nothing wrong with their children because they are normal at home. Another perk of being an introvert is schooling. Children often find it difficult to keep a friend who is less active and quiet.
Many of you have wondered why some people are quiet, less sociable, and reserved. You can see people who enjoy reading books at home rather than going to a party. But that is okay too. People find comfort in different things. Just as an extrovert finds comfort while socializing, an introvert finds it in books and his own space.
Yes, the topic is "#introverts". They are different from just being shy and being socially anxious. Because these bunches fear the presence of others. But to be an introvert is not fear at all. It is a personality type. They are born to earth with bodily mechanisms to get maximum stimuli inside. So they prefer less to seek it outside. Even if we see a small number of introverts around us, there is about 25 to 40 percent of the population who are introverts.
Aren’t they so selfish or arrogant?
Enjoying their solitude does not mean that they disregard others. Like extroverts collect energy from interaction with others, introverts recharge themselves by spending time alone. They are more said to be self-aware than labeling them as selfish. These quiet ones love to learn by observing others rather than interacting with others. They believe too much external stimulation can make them unfocused and drain their energy. For these reasons, they choose a handful or fewer friends and not because of fear of others or they are abnormal. The people who socialize less don’t make them inhuman or alien to the rest of the world.
Still, people see introversion as a deficiency and create unnecessary misconceptions to others, like they lack friendliness, empathy, leaders
hip and they are emotionless, rude, and much more. But why judge? Why meddle into the lives of others which we have no clue about? Being bullied by people for not being a part of the group even their parents and the social forces them to a transition. But we have hardly seen forcing an extrovert to be an introvert! Irony much? Why doesn’t someone just say to an extrovert to shut up sometimes?
Surprisingly introversion is a blessing! Do you wonder how?
Because we need listeners too. Introverts are the best listeners, listening to whatever you speak. You don’t go to an extrovert to speak your mind out, why? You choose your THAT friend who just doesn't judge others and talks more, that’s why. Introverts usually make quality friends. So, to be a friend of an introvert is not something bad but special. The so-called 'silent wolves' are very observant and they think many times before they act. They are genuine and understanding. They can be loving romantic partners and compassionate leaders too. Anyway, they are not attention seekers, but attention donors!
Are you an introvert?
Have you spent time thinking that you are not good enough, pulling down yourself by picking up the poisonous words from others?
Believe it's a blessing. The weaknesses that you are imposed on could be your greatest strength. It's perfectly ok to be an introvert.
Let's reform the stereotypes!
Let’s be there for each other rather than judging how many friends he got, or how many likes he has on his socials. Let’s not judge people, let’s be there for them, as a friend, as a Koott.
