Top ten myths about introverts
There are probably a fair few people here who would describe themselves as 'Introverts' with this being a webmaster forum, so you might find this interesting.
Myth #1 ? Introverts don?t like to talk. This is not true. Introverts just don?t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won?t shut up for days. Myth #2 ? Introverts are shy. Shyness has nothing to do with being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they need is a reason to interact. They don?t interact for the sake of interacting. If you want to talk to an Introvert, just start talking. Don?t worry about being polite. Myth #3 ? Introverts are rude. Introverts often don?t see a reason for beating around the bush with social pleasantries. They want everyone to just be real and honest. Unfortunately, this is not acceptable in most settings, so Introverts can feel a lot of pressure to fit in, which they find exhausting. Myth #4 ? Introverts don?t like people. On the contrary, Introverts intensely value the few friends they have. They can count their close friends on one hand. If you are lucky enough for an introvert to consider you a friend, you probably have a loyal ally for life. Once you have earned their respect as being a person of substance, you?re in. Myth #5 ? Introverts don?t like to go out in public. Nonsense. Introverts just don?t like to go out in public FOR AS LONG. They also like to avoid the complications that are involved in public activities. They take in data and experiences very quickly, and as a result, don?t need to be there for long to ?get it.? They?re ready to go home, recharge, and process it all. In fact, recharging is absolutely crucial for Introverts. Myth #6 ? Introverts always want to be alone. Introverts are perfectly comfortable with their own thoughts. They think a lot. They daydream. They like to have problems to work on, puzzles to solve. But they can also get incredibly lonely if they don?t have anyone to share their discoveries with. They crave an authentic and sincere connection with ONE PERSON at a time. Myth #7 ? Introverts are weird. Introverts are often individualists. They don?t follow the crowd. They?d prefer to be valued for their novel ways of living. They think for themselves and because of that, they often challenge the norm. They don?t make most decisions based on what is popular or trendy. Myth #8 ? Introverts are aloof nerds. Introverts are people who primarily look inward, paying close attention to their thoughts and emotions. It?s not that they are incapable of paying attention to what is going on around them, it?s just that their inner world is much more stimulating and rewarding to them. Myth #9 ? Introverts don?t know how to relax and have fun. Introverts typically relax at home or in nature, not in busy public places. Introverts are not thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies. If there is too much talking and noise going on, they shut down. Their brains are too sensitive to the neurotransmitter called Dopamine. Introverts and Extroverts have different dominant neuro-pathways. Just look it up. Myth #10 ? Introverts can fix themselves and become Extroverts. Introverts cannot ?fix themselves? and deserve respect for their natural temperament and contributions to the human race. In fact, one study (Silverman, 1986) showed that the percentage of Introverts increases with IQ.

I am an introvert or as I was once told: inner directed. I prefer to spend my time alone OR with ONE other person, but not continually. I've been single for over 20 years and do not get lonely. after shooting all day and interacting with models, assistants, agents, nothing suits me more than sending them away and relaxing by myself... swimming, reading, watching TV, playing bass, writing etc..

Myth #5 is me, I do need to recharge; I don't like to be around people all day, I need somewhere to escape to

I was VERY much an introvert all the way until after high school. Still am, but not as much.

I'm an introvert. People get confused because I can thrive in any social situation but I hate social situations.
I also want to be an extrovert. It's an internal struggle for me. But I'd be perfectly content never having to leave the house again. |

Personality should be considered continuous rather than categorical (traits vs types). Let say a scale of 0 means extremely introverted to a scale of 10 means extremely extroverted. Just like everything in general, people usually fall in the middle numbers (4-6). ![]()

I'll admit, me too! Back when I was growing up, I was pretty average in the classroom, it was only when I eventually started studying in the evenings on my own that things changed. People who had previously written me off academically couldn't believe the change. It's the same in the workplace too, if I'm in an open plan environment in a team, I'm nothing special, but if you leave me locked away in my room I'll do a high level of work. I like to do things my way too

I match most if those. Some are funny because they don't really rebut the "myth", but rather explain it. For example, "introverts are rude" goes on to explain why the "myth" is true. That's true of me. Naturally, I'm rude. Being polite, adding uneccesary words like "would you please" requires attention and effort for me.
"Introverts are aloof nerds," that's me. It explains that IQ is often associated with introversion, though not always, and that describes me. I suck at some things, like art, and I know I'm lazy, so I'm hopefully I'm not being conceited when I say that my ugly face is balanced by an extremely high IQ.

I guess I must be a textbook introvert.

i've concluded that i was born more extroverted but environments and events fostered my introversion, thus the internal struggle.

I'm quite introverted, with most of those things on the list sounding like me. I've often felt that introverts get the shaft. Extroverts get lines like, "oh they're a real people person" or, "ya, he's the life of the party!". Introverts get "he's shy" or "that guys pretty anti social".
After a day out with friends, I chill alone at home the next day by myself to recharge. It's just as invigorating and restorative as sleep. Edit: Mindless small talk bores me to death and I pretty much disappear mentally when in a conversation when it is taking place. Hopefully I'm not drooling. I've also noticed that if someone call tell me about something quick and concise, I suddenly find them interesting to talk to. People who drag a two or three minute story into a 30 minute speech... HOW DO THEY DO THAT AND HOW CAN THEY KEEP TALKING!?

This is not an introvert myth list... at all... in the slightest...
This list can apply to introverts, extroverts, and ambiverts...

In the current total social transparency to think in those terms (extravert/introvert) it's so naive ...

Ditto.
I was a shy kid but not too shy. I just didn't discover my "voice" to express what I wanted to say until later. I can be the life of a party; social, friendly, shit I've been in porn technically but above all else I tend to like being in my own thoughts and I don't get lonely either as someone just described. It's interesting. I respect extroverts but tend to prefer deal with people like that in small doses. |
