Introverted People: 25 Things You Should Know

Contrary to the common belief that an introvert is someone who is shy, it is not so, according to expert opinion.  Shyness is related to apprehension, anxiety and nervousness. Though an introvert may be shy it is not shyness alone that dictates the behavior of  introverted people. Basically introverted people derive their energy by being alone. When they are compelled to be socialized they lose the energy they have generated during when they have been alone. This means after socializing for some time, they lose their energy and need to recharge. This is why you find introverts sitting alone after parties looking exhausted.

Introvert personnel love their inner worlds and they are good thinkers. Introverted people enjoy exploring and thinking while they are alone. They normally dislike socializing due to the fact that they lose the energy they have generated by being alone in case they socialize. Often, they have good social skills but they are reluctant to use them. When an introvert stays away from socializing it cannot be assumed that it is due to depression. It is either due to their need of refreshing themselves with energy after a social event or it is also possible that they want to take time thinking about something. This is the behavior of introverted people.

It is not correct to think that introverts are averse to meeting people and discussing things. They do meet people and discuss about matters that are important to them. But they generally do not like to talk about trivial matters that other people normally talk while they are in social gatherings. These are a few aspects one must know about people who show signs of introvert behavior. Knowing them will be helpful for others to interact with people who are more inclined to be alone most of the time.
