Have you ever been accused of being shy or non-talking? Do you enjoy spending time alone? Have you ever had a feeling that something is different with you? If your answer is yes, then you might be an introvert.
Who are the introverts? In one sentence they are people who get energy from spending time alone. They might be described as unfriendly, lonely or antisocial which is not true! Usually they are very kind people with a lot of good ideas.

On the other site we have extroverts who gain energy from spending time with other people. They process differently as they will speak and act before thinking and they can be described as “social butterflies” as they love to connect with new people. As a matter of fact, for introverts living with an extrovert friend or partner works really well as you can let them talk the whole day and listen to them and usually they won’t bother if you prefer to listen instead of talking.
There is a very interesting TED talk called “power of introverts” by Susan Cain which I totally recommend you watch. Susan talks about introverts, how they bring extraordinary talents to the world and encourage them to never feel ashamed or bad the way they are.
Today in our social media age where it seems that the world is created for extroverts it may seem hard to be an introvert… but always remember – there is nothing wrong in being an introvert. It is perfectly normal! And how about you? Are you an introvert? 😊 Let me know your opinion.

In what introverts are good at?
- They are very good listeners. Don’t expect from an introvert to talk a lot in a crowd because most of a time they will just listen and think carefully about their answer. We can describe them as a “good friends”. You can call them and they will always listen to what you have to say without turning it around.
- They think carefully before speaking. As they rather listen, they choose their words wisely before talking. It seems like they talk only when they have something to say in order to have a big impact with their words.
- They make quality friends. As introverts prefer to spend time alone, they would rather have a few friends which they can truly trust than a large group of acquaintances. If you have an introvert friend, then you are very lucky as they make committed and loyal friendships.
- They are good leaders. As they have good skills in listening and they will slowly, thoughtfully process information it makes them good managers and leaders. Instead of taking credits from teamwork successes they will focus on motivating and highlighting their team. People won’t see them as leaders but rather as team members.

For instance, as a being part-of introvert person, it actually doen't mean that I am being shy to talk, it's because introverts aren't just quiet talkers, sometimes I actually don't interested in the topics that the person talk about right? and in other cases I like to joining in conversations if it´s about a topic that I enjoy and know. Shortly, sometimes introvert people are just thinking better when they are alone, for those who we are developers it's even more obvious, we do not like get disturbed while working. lol
Sometimes, however, I have such a time that I have to be with people every day. Then I usually party every day. I am looking for new friends and I want to discover new places. As soon as I am alone for a moment I am sad and I feel lonely. So sometimes I'm definitely turning into an extrovert.
Recently this topic is gaining popularity, which has both positive and negative effects. Firstly it's amazing that people start to feel good with who they really are, because there is not such a thing like world for extraverts (looking back in the history there wouldn't be any of the greatest inventions if people with a different set of mind did not cooperate with each other), on the other hand nowadays we started to experience a trend of making a statement about being an introvert really easily and therefore it initiated a fake image of what it is really about.
I like working alone but also I like to solve problems by discussing them, like being alone but also spending time with my friends. I can see that lately the discussion about personality got very trendy. I guess it's absolutely normal that those behaviours depends on our daily mood and it would be probably better to not put labels on people, just be yourself.
I also consider being an introvert a very normal thing, just like being an extravert. People differ from each other and there is nothing weird about it at all.
There are situations though, which require me to make exceptions in the way I normally behave. These are all sorts of activities which have an impact on my career development. Sometimes I make presentations in front of a lot of people or take active part in discussions at work to push forward my ideas and get noticed by other people. I call it a “business alter ego”. As an introvert in the professional life I would probably not achieve anything significant. Instead, I put on a mask and pretend to be extravert which does work so far. It doesn’t work in private life, because being a liar about ourselves never ends up well.
I think I'm somewhere in between. I have the characteristics of introvert as well as extrovert. It all depends on the situation I'm in. Sometimes I have quiet days and I value peace and quiet, and sometimes I need to meet friends or go to a party. However, I must admit that sometimes I feel bad about not belonging to one of the groups.
I would like to add that I always try to be myself, because I don't like when someone pretend to be someone else. Each of us is unique and there is no use to wear a mask and hide who you really are.
I’m kind of both, but in a way neither. Along with introvert and extrovert, you also have the extroverted introvert and the introverted extrovert. I myself am definitely an introverted extrovert. The person who will do group work in the right scenario and is willing to go out but not often. Has fun going out and working in a group, but also thrives off their alone time and personal space.
In general, I want to say that it would be nice to add another category to this theory that I wrote about above.
Personally, I do not pay attention to who my interlocutor is. I can feel comfortable with both.
