What's Wrong with Introverts?
The answer is simple: Nothing!
Introversion is just a way you live your life, it's neither better, nor worse than extroversion.
Recently, some scientists discovered that there is a correlation between introversion,
and an area of your brain called the amygdala, and they found out that the more reactive
and attentive to details you are, the more likely it is that you'll behave in an introverted
way.
Here is what that means: on one hand, you probably notice more stuff, ask yourself a
lot of questions, and have a strong curiosity, which is good.
On the other hand, you probably get stressed too much around people, especially if you
don't know them that well.
This second fact means that your brain reacts too much to new situations, which stresses
you out!, Your emotions go wild as if you're about to get attacked by a group of bears,
and that's the part of you that you need to take care of and improve.
Why Many Introverts End Up Lonely.
As we've established, introverts detect more social noise and pressure than extroverts.
If you're an introvert, then you would avoid social situations, because they drain you
of energy, as they get your mind racing in trying to process everything.
In the meantime, an extrovert would arrive at a busy party, and talk and move in a relaxed
way as if they knew everybody.
The thing is, most people think that if they want to make friends, they have to go out
more, and just go where people go to socialize.
That's a good idea, but it doesn't work for introverts most of the time, which just
leads to more isolation, and more avoidance.
You might find yourself thinking, "I tried to go out to parties, and I made no friends,
I just got stressed out and left", and that leads many people to just give up, and stay
lonely for a long time.
If you are an introvert, people tend to jump to conclusions and label you as "shy",
"cold", "unsociable", and simply look at you differently.
They don't understand that it's your personality, not your hatred towards other people.
While extroverts are powered by other people's energy, introverts are calm and prefer being
alone with their thoughts.
It doesn't mean that they don't like people.
It doesn't mean that they are antisocial.
And you don't need to change or cure them.
All that introverts need is understanding and some time alone.
