The perks of being an introvert

Maybe it’s not the most desirable thing to be an introvert for most people. However like everything else in life there has to be some perks.

As an introvert I find:

  • You don’t get particularly lonely when you don’t see people for a while. Whilst you may have friends that complain about how much they miss you and need to see you, you are just happy taking a break.
  • You don’t always crave attention. Is it only me or is that person who always needs to be noticed quite irritating at times.
  • For some reason people think you are rather mysterious and enigmatic. Maybe we introverts do not like letting everyone know every detail of our lives. But a little bit of mystery is always nice.
  • You have a group of close friends rather than multitudes of people you simply associate with. Having close and meaningful relationships is really such a big bonus.
  • You tend to surprise people. A lot of introverts are cast off as shy and antisocial but when people see the opposite in you they don’t quite know what to think.
  • Making rash decisions is not your thing. I’m not saying you will never take risks but as introvert you tend to make rather well thought out and calculated moves.
  • As in introvert you usually find you are a good listener. People always appreciate a person who is willing to listen.

Whilst being an introvert evidently has its perks I’m sure there are just as many great things about being an extrovert (If you ask the right person).

  1. Ha Ha, loved the ending. My post today at 61 Musings is about debunking the myth that introverts can “fix” themselves and become extroverts. I’m with you in saying that being an introvert has its perks.
