Understanding Introverts
Being shy and being
introverted are often used interchangeably, however in reality most introverts
do NOT define themselves as being shy – nervous or too scared to interact with
others, especially in group settings. Instead, introverts will tell you that
they CAN indeed interact and socialize, comfortably, with others; but, it’s not
their preference. The ‘intro’ in the term introvert is the key, as introverts
are typically very introspective and spend a good deal of time in
self-analysis. They examine their own thoughts, preferences, perceptions and
observations to gauge their life’s direction and make life choices. The truth
is that, introverts are NOT simply timid individuals, who do not possess social
skills. In fact, many successful public figures will admit that they are more
introverted than extroverted.
Introverts are quite
capable of developing and exuding strong personalities and publicly exhibiting
their distinctive characteristics without fear.. Accept your personality
whatever it is. Participate through active listening, prepare and plan (within
reason), lean on your community of advocates, take time to re-energize; but, endeavour
to stay connected and be present! Never isolate yourself out of fear or to
escape a challenging situation. Never cut off focus and tune out the world and
always be yourself!
