A Guide to Living Around

Introverts

and Understanding them

Shikha Dahiya, 2nd Year, COE
1 Introverts aren’t shy
They can be amazing leaders and great speakers. They just don’t like the little conversations with
the audience after the events. Being introverted isn’t same as being shy.

2 Introverts need space and time
They need to rejuvenate before and after human interaction. It’s just way too much for them. They
need to restore their energy before they can go back into the alien world.

3 Don’t invade their privacy
Don’t be ACP Pradyuman trying to figure out what’s wrong with them or in their lives. Don’t force
them to talk about themselves. Don’t ask them too many questions.

4 They are socially selective
They have few friends. They’d rather be alone, than being around someone they don’t like.

5 They are not depressed

They are just quiet, don’t make assumptions about them.

6 They think a lot and feel things deeply

But they are secretive about their emotions. They won’t ever tell you what they feel about you.
However, their eyes would. Reading them could be tough, though.

7 Don’t ask them to come outdoors

Because they won’t. They don’t like crowded, clamorous places.

8 When at a party with them

Congratulations for convincing them to come! Introduce them to your friends, but don’t force them
to stay there. Help them find a quiet corner and let them embrace their solitude in the crowd.

9 They prefer conversation with one person at a time
They weren’t ignoring you in that group conversation; they were just paying all their attention to
one person.

10 They don’t like picking up phone calls, text them instead
