The better listener: Introvert

For a better part of my life I have been inquisitive about and by people who aren’t all loud & clear like me.. an extrovert. People who are not easily overwhelmed by emotions that they feel the need to get it out, in tears, words or affection. These are the people with dignity & polish who are well guarded, people who define cool.

Subsequently I conversed with various introverts & ex introverts, extroverts about introverts, my sister who was a major introvert back in the days, to get to the depth.

The shy Introvert comes clean (ex introvert)

Looking for radical transparency overnight does not occur in an intro’s case. He holds himself back much in his virtual life online which in comparison to real him is nowhere close. Its not that intros are any less opinionated, infact they can surprise you but for some reason in the back of their minds they are forced to think “what if people don’t like what I have to articulate?”, “what if that leads me to the subject of mockery?” So its about time you knock your fears out if any, don’t be blindsided by it. Try living such a life & it’ll knock the wind outta you. He’s very happy with his new found zest, tells me Ishaan.

Quiet Girl in a Chaotic world

Resorting to write seemed like a good way out when she couldn’t share her state of mind with everybody else..so she began to operate on a personal online diary. Being a centre of attention is not a intro’s scene. The world seems to be geared towards extroverts but there’s a towering need for people to realise intro’s viewpoint & reaction to stimulation. Intros are not anti-social but they prefer small group bonding. We are just another set of people who smile more than talk.. tells Nikita

Intros in business..hot mess?

Sure they are intellectual folks but expressing them at certain events can be a pickle at times.

They are considered to be uncomfortable carrying on conversation with fresh people, but there can be numerous other ways to fill in that gap that will balance your personality & style. In most cases people are taught to open up in the corporate world, interact, widen their network but how is an introvert to fulfil all these requirements? Adjustment & attitude fixation come hand in hand with a job offer..much to their ennui, tells me Asheesh

What I derived when an extro laid down her opinions about an intro

Its absurdity if an introvert rides the high-horse approach.

One does not get to excuse oneself from the love table if you are still partaking its joy.

You give as you receive. Self absorbed people are unwelcomed in that case.

Everybody cringes & cowers in fear, an introvert does not have to hide from it, and eventually everyone makes it out. Because if you choose the other end, you ought to have a major fall since the person will have so much baggage on his shoulders that he will suffer a major fall, tells me Becca

Worst case scenario.. Introverts in denial

Introverts who due to their lifestyles begin to believe that they are extros. It’s a common myth for several individuals. If you stand in this region.. ask yourself.. “Do I like being introduced by others?” If it’s a positive, you know you redefine cool 8) There’s no need to feel extra shy or embarrassed..Value it : ) I didn’t know I was a winker until my classmate told me not to hit on him since he was not gay :P jokes Arjun

Introversion..the lady killer!

Interaction itself is a task at times subjective to people but when it comes to females its multiplied. Its hard to be the Ladies man that one ideally wants to be. We feel completely alive in quiet environments. Usually I use trolling as a defence mechanism, make myself laugh.. purposely get rejected. Go on the Lost-mode(I don’t give a rat’s arse mode) Although some girls find it attractive because it shows we don’t rely on anyone but ourselves..so that’s a plus..tells Raj

The half Introvert.. Ambivert

Pondering between both the qualities of intro & extro, he’s the subjective guy who believes there’s nothing unusual about it. Simple, comical, standing tall between margins he doesn’t prize social & outgoing above all, guy fond of simple pleasures is unpredictable. Rendering an approach that’s direct he’s straightforward.

Swimming in his own space he never had to face competition or struggle(maybe because of his goodish charms) Unbiased, equipped & primed, he fails to settle for being a shadow tells Aditya

          Introvert’s liveliness tends to enlarge through reflection & diminish during interaction.

Introverts use their introspection before acting, so it gives them a chance to think before they speak. Unlike us extros who are quick to ramble on something were are not even aware of, & trust me it comes naturally :P

Intros are potential energetic people in the making of kinetic. They are a gentle, peaceful presence on the globe filled with overwhelming stimuli.

Introversion is not a form of fright or fear. But for some reason the two are sometimes referred as synonyms.

Are they living under the proverbial rock? Intros are not oblivious but just serene.. they are like baby gazelle, they come around their own time :D I sometimes enjoy the mystery until it starts to turn into misery :P Take your time to unfold but also be aware of the extros nature of being restless. Thus don’t be me, myself & I the whole while, get to know us, we aren’t all that scary :D

Introverted personality types are different & its upto you guys to educate the world and help them understand who you are. Although people like me come handy ;D Thank Procrastination!

To end this wonderful realization which was a curiosity for many years, I will just say..

Embrace who you are, learn what makes you tick & love your verve.

Knock off your bloody pedestals.. jump right in with full force into the blissful.. painful.. random..erratic.. escapade called life..!
