Being online on forums like this some of the time show there are traits of introversion in a person, but I seriously doubt those that post frequently especially on things that border on meaningless are introverted. Introverts put thought in what they post. It's easy to detect a poster who is bereft of thought processing

I don't know if this is peculiar to all introverts; i am extremely observant. Because while shutting my mouth; my ears, eyes and my heart are widely opened...i know people's deep intentions (those ones at the dark corner of their heart that they are not willing to share) when they speak. I see through people's minds easily without stress and instantly they become so predictable. That's why when people express their disappointment towards someone's deed, i just tell them "well, i didn't expect less"


There can be many intentions behind "awww you look so gorgeous!" some people will tell me that because they need a favour, some just want cheap attention(they want to be noticed by force) some just find it difficult to shut their mouth for a minute, so when there's nothing to say they give fake compliment...and i also give them a fake smile and a dry "you too!" in return. But some people are very sincere with this admiration, when they compliment me, i know and i give this set of people a very wide smile and a "thank you!" that comes straight from my heart.
I don't know if its got anything to do with being an introvert or its just me!

GraphicsPlus: I will start by saying that these are not myths. They are facts. You are the one trying to turn facts into myths. You probably want to showcase introverts as great personalities. But wait a minute, introverts are still great personalities even without your effort to turn pure facts into mere myths. Let me take your myths one after the other.

1. Fact #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk.
It's a well known fact that introverts don't like talking. It's not that they don't talk at all. They do talk, but you and I understand what it means to say that one can talk. Introvert is a deep thinker. He may have something to talk about, but he will rather choose to be thinking about it. Introverts normally die in silence. It takes great persuasion for an introvert to express himself verbally. They think a lot. Hence, they don't like talking.

Fact #2 – Introverts are shy.
This is obvious. They lack high level boldness and charisma that an extrovert will normally display. Shyness doesn't mean been afraid. Shyness mean been withdrawn and not wanting all eyes to be on him. An introvert may say no to an interview. They run away from publicity. He lacks that boldness to approach someone and initiate a discussion. They are afraid of been turned down.

Facts #3 – Introverts are not rude.
There is no myth out there that says introverts are rude. It's extroverts that can be very rude because they are known for a weakness of pride. An introvert can hardly shout on you. In fact, if you live with an introvert, you will enjoy him because he will hardly be rude. Introverts care a lot. They have respect for people's rights. An extrovert that has not dealt with himself can easily brush people aside and live 'I don't care lifestyle.'

Fact #4 – Introverts like people.
You got this one. Introverts care a lot. Why? Because they think before they act or speak. An extrovert acts and speaks before thinking. An introvert will always think about the consequences of his speech or action before taking them. They like people, but they hardly make friends, which may appear to mean that they don't like people. They do like people, but they are not in haste to make friends.

Fact #5 – Introverts don’t like to go out in public.
This is true. There is no point trying to make introverts who they are not. They don't actually like going out in public. Introverts like indoor lifestyle. They don't like too much exposure and publicity. They don't like ovation. They really are not public people, but this does not make them less humans. In fact, it's there strength. I remember my younger brother who is an introvert. During his secondary school days, this guy reads his chemistry and physics books on Christmas day. He mates will be out enjoying xmas season, this guy will be at home solving Further Maths. I mean, it's an impossibility for me to do that. I don't say introverts don't go out and don't enjoy live. The issue is that if you give indoor and outdoor to an introvert to choose, he will choose the former.

Fact #6 – Introverts always want to be alone.
That's true sir. They hate noise and jamborees. Because they are thinkers, they usually want to be alone. You can bore and introvert down without your chattering.

Fact #7 – Introverts are not weird.
They behave the way they behave because they were wired to be like that. It's an extrovert that appears to be weird. Whereas an introvert thinks a lot, he can find it difficult charting a new way for himself and people under him. That is why, they normally don't seen as leadership materials. Because they may end up thinking and thinking and yet no action will be taken when needed.

Fact #8 – Introverts are not aloof nerds.
I agree with you.

Facts #9 – Introverts don’t know how to relax and have fun.
Yes, they usually prefer to relax and have fun at home. But to go to public places, run around in a romantic way at a beach, an introvert may not be part of it.

Fact #10 – Introverts can fix themselves
Yes, they can fix themselves. But there is no point trying to become extroverts because extroverts have there own weaknesses. An introvert should try to build on his strength and overcome his weaknesses. This is what Tim Lahaye called Spirit-controlled temperament. Both introverts and extroverts are needed for the world to keep going round.

I am an extrovert, but my fiancee is an introvert. I have learned a lot from her strength, and I have also experienced the pain of enduring her weaknesses. She has seen me severally where I proved to her that I can be the leader she can trust her life with, but she has also seen my awful attitude of arrogance. In both cases, we are learning each other everyday and trusting God that when we finally marry and come together, we will keep building on our strength and overcoming our weaknesses.






So on point,Exactly what I had in mind(though I didn't put it quite like this;I went like;this is Bullshit) when I posted the first (Hidden Comment) and all these Emergency Introverts wanted to tear me apart.

Toppie2:
Wow...this is just me, i'm a libra and an introvert. I just feel comfortable being alone sometimes,reflecting and thinking deep but some people don't understand and they won't just let me be.....

and i can't just go out and remain in the same spot for an hour all in the name of having fun i'd rather spend half of the time there then go somewhere else for the other half....

You can never catch me talking when i have nothing or i'm not sure of what to say. I talk when there's a topic that interests me...instead of engaging in mono-syllabic conversation, i keep quiet or i just laugh or smile@everything you say!
And yes some people think i'm shy! therefore they think there's a limit to what i can do and the places i can go...these people, i just laugh and shake my head for them in my mind!
Hmmm...you just can't imagine how much i hate noise....i extremely hate it in all its form, it drives me crazy.....God i hate noise with so much passion!

It's funny though how some people think people who're not like them are weird.
