Misconceptions About Introverts

Published May 17, 2021

Each personality type has certain misconceptions about them.

Let’s break those illusions and be aware of the community of introverts  even better:

Myth:  Introverts are not good leaders.

Fact: They may in fact turn out to be better communicators or orators. Due to their excellence in listening and mental observations, they are confident in speaking their mind. Introverts pay attention to body language and comprehend more than words. These qualities may make them superior leaders or bosses.

Myth: Introverts symbolize better at studies/ tech savvy

Fact: Any individual can be excellent in whichever subject they are interested in. An introvert does not automatically mean a nerd. However, their eagerness and intense attention will make them expert in their particular fields.

Myth- Introverts are shy

Fact: Being Shy is more of a social anxiety. Introverts are not shy; they desire to stay quiet and are reserved. They will be observing you while you may feel they are afraid to talk.

Shyness can be caused due to biological, social and psychological reasons. A shy person is afraid to talk to others but doesn’t want to be alone. They feel nervous and insecure around people. So being shy and being an introvert is not the same thing.

Myth- They are always annoyed or rude

Fact: Since they enjoy on their own, most people assume they are arrogant or egoistic. They take time to get at ease which is usually misjudged by others. Also they do not make friends with anyone easily, so people find them rude.

Myth: They consider themselves superior to others

Fact:Since they are confident of their ideas and always willing to discuss their point of view, they are considered to be non- cooperative in team works. They may have less social skills, however.

Myth: They are not good friends

Fact:They, in fact, prove to be better at companionship, relations and profession because they make choices following an extensive observation. They may be Friends to only some but portray real and honest friendship. They are fantastic secret keepers too.

Myth: They are fake people

Fact: Since they do not reveal their personal life to anyone, people assume things about their personality which may or may not be true. It is difficult to understand them at most times. They prefer to show only better version of themselves to the world.

Not all introverts are the same. Introversion and specific nature of a person may differ. Some may actually be arrogant or fake. Analyzing humans is quite a task!

How to make an introverted individual feel comfortable:

·         Respect their need for privacy

·         Never imitate their behavior, especially if you are an extrovert

·         Give them adequate time to get familiarized with new places.

·         Don’t interrupt them

·         Don’t rush them

·         Don’t push them towards more people

·         Prefer private conversation for serious and important issue.

Some famous introverts: Bill gates, Warren buffet, J K Rowling, Emma Watson, Elon Musk.

We can conclude by saying that none of the personalities are inherently better than the other; each has its own strengths and weaknesses. You may wish to change certain specific characteristics in you to make yourself a better individual. But remember nobody is perfect.

Be what you are; be proud of your unique self.
