7 Things Introverts Do That Make Them Utterly Attractive

Almost all of us have a sibling, friend, cousin, or a family member who likes to stay away from crowds and gatherings and loves his lonely time. They are usually found reading a book, doing an activity that does not require more than two hands, fiddles with the phone, or anything that does not require social contact. These kinds of people are one third to half of the population and are referred to as introverts.

Introverts are often seen as shy, reserved, quiet, and lonely. They don’t like social gatherings and parties and they don’t like to hang out with friends as they don’t have many friends. The prefer professions that allow seclusion and independence. They are self-aware but are least interested in knowing other people. They are often misjudged for being angry or depressed. The real person may be a lot different than the way we often see an introvert person as.  

If seen from a psychologist’s point of view, Introverts prefer minimally stimulating environments, and they need time alone to recharge. This is how Carl Jung defined introverts as in the 1960s. Introversion is a personality trait. The people having this trait have all their energies focused on their inner self, feelings, and emotions. They do not seek approval from others and are happy in their own skin. Happiness for them comes from within not from the world around them.  

In order to identify an introvert, here are a few signs to look out for:

•    They will not have too many friends rather they will be happier with one or two selective ones. It doesn’t mean they hate people; it’s just that they believe in a few authentic ones than a whole bunch of fake friends.  

•    They are less talkative but surely not rude. When you first meet them, you will think they are arrogant and rude but once you get to know them you will realize that your assumption was wrong. They may take their time to know you well and then open up. 

•    They do not follow the crowd rather they pave their own paths and follow their own journeys. You will not find them following the trends rather they dance to their own rhythm. 

•    Where some people get energized after going out and attending parties, introverts feel social interaction to be energy draining. Even if they are found at a party, you will see them sitting in a corner looking at the time waiting for a chance to sneak out and enjoy their solitude. 

•    People think that introverts being socially awkward need to be looked at from a psychological point of view and should opt for counseling. No matter how weird they may look, they don’t need to be fixed or treated. They are who they are and there is nothing wrong with them

If you're clever you can learn to get the benefits of being an introvert, which might be, say, being willing to go off for a few days and think about a tough problem, read everything you can, push yourself very hard to think out on the edge of that area.

Then, if you come up with something, if you want to hire people, get them excited, build a company around that idea, you better learn what extroverts do, you better hire some extroverts (like Steve Ballmer I would claim as an extrovert) and tap into both sets of skills in order to have a company that thrives both in deep thinking and building teams and going out into the world to sell those ideas.”
