10 MYTHS ABOUT INTROVERTS BY CARL KING
Myth #1 : Introverts don’t like to talk.
This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days.
Myth #2 : Introverts are shy.
Shyness has nothing to do with being
an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they
need is a reason to interact. They don’t interact for the sake of
interacting. If you want to talk to an Introvert, just start talking.
Don’t worry about being polite.
Myth #3 : Introverts are rude.
Introverts often don’t see a reason
for beating around the bush with social pleasantries. They want everyone
to just be real and honest. Unfortunately, this is not acceptable in
most settings, so Introverts can feel a lot of pressure to fit in, which
they find exhausting.
Myth #4 : Introverts don’t like people.
On the contrary, Introverts
intensely value the few friends they have. They can count their close
friends on one hand. If you are lucky enough for an introvert to
consider you a friend, you probably have a loyal ally for life. Once you
have earned their respect as being a person of substance, you’re in.
Myth #5 : Introverts don’t like to go out in public.
Nonsense.
Introverts just don’t like to go out in public FOR AS LONG. They also
like to avoid the complications that are involved in public activities.
They take in data and experiences very quickly, and as a result, don’t
need to be there for long to “get it.” They’re ready to go home,
recharge, and process it all. In fact, recharging is absolutely crucial
for Introverts.
Myth #6 : Introverts always want to be alone.
Introverts are
perfectly comfortable with their own thoughts. They think a lot. They
daydream. They like to have problems to work on, puzzles to solve. But
they can also get incredibly lonely if they don’t have anyone to share
their discoveries with. They crave an authentic and sincere connection
with ONE PERSON at a time.
Myth #7 : Introverts are weird.
Introverts are often individualists.
They don’t follow the crowd. They’d prefer to be valued for their novel
ways of living. They think for themselves and because of that, they
often challenge the norm. They don’t make most decisions based on what
is popular or trendy.
Myth #8 : Introverts are aloof nerds.
Introverts are people who
primarily look inward, paying close attention to their thoughts and
emotions. It’s not that they are incapable of paying attention to what
is going on around them, it’s just that their inner world is much more
stimulating and rewarding to them.
Myth #9 : Introverts don’t know how to relax and have fun.
Introverts typically relax at home or in nature, not in busy public
places. Introverts are not thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies. If
there is too much talking and noise going on, they shut down. Their
brains are too sensitive to the neurotransmitter called Dopamine.
Introverts and Extroverts have different dominant neuro-pathways. Just
look it up.
Myth #10 : Introverts can fix themselves and become Extroverts.
A
world without Introverts would be a world with few scientists,
musicians, artists, poets, filmmakers, doctors, mathematicians, writers,
and philosophers. That being said, there are still plenty of techniques
an Extrovert can learn in order to interact with Introverts. (Yes, I
reversed these two terms on purpose to show you how biased our society
is.) Introverts cannot “fix themselves” and deserve respect for their
natural temperament and contributions to the human race. In fact, one
study (Silverman, 1986) showed that the percentage of Introverts
increases with IQ.
