What is Introversion?
- Introverted people live in a human-sized hamster ball.
(Not really, but you know what I mean)
The major trait of a true introvert, as opposed to someone
who is withdrawn, is how they gain their energy.
-
Extroverted people gather
their energy from their
surroundings.
They absorb the "good vibes"
of the people around them and
thus need a lot go social
interaction.
- Introverted people
Make their own energy
And, rather than taking
It from others "GIVE"
It on social contact.
This means that they
Naturally find most
Interaction exhausting and
Need time to recharge
- Because this energy
is a limited resource,
they tend to see extroverts
as obnoxious predators
out to steal their
sweet, sweet energy juices.
That's why they have the
hamster ball of personal space.
-
How to interact with the introverted
- Just because someone is introverted doesn't mean
they don't like company.
Interaction is just expensive and they don't want to
spend it on something annoying(Read: Wasteful)
- Here's what you do:
- Say hello. be polite and relaxed,show that you recognize
and approve of their presence.
It is important for introverts to feel welcome. They won't
spend their precious energy on someone who doesn't want
them around.
If you have interesting/important news to mention,
mention it. Just don't press for gossip.
- They go back to whatever you were doing.
Now the introverts know that you are friendly and
open to interaction But will not push them into spending
energy if they have no need to.

TAH-DAH! That's all there is to it!
-
Remember:
- · Respect personal space
(Hamster Ball)
- · Energy is limited
- · Don't demand to have energy
spend on you when it's not
particularly needed
- · Don't take silence as
an insult-it isn't!
- · Introverts get lonely, too
- That's it, Folks!
Be sure to hug your introverts today!
