"If you like to do things in a slow and steady way, don't let others make you feel as if you have to race." I'm reading a book called Quiet by Susan Cain. It's about introverts. It has loads of fascinating research and I recommend it if you're a facts kind of person.There's a few things I want to share from it with you. Before I do here's a definition of introversion: a personality trait characterised by a focus on internal feelings rather than on external sources of stimulation. Introversion and extroversion actually relate to how we recharge our brains. Extroverts gain energy from being social; they have a lower basic rate of arousal within their brain. Introverts lose energy from being around people for long periods of time; their brains are easily stimulated. This means that extroverts need to work harder to arouse their minds and bodies to the same ‘normal’ state that introverts might reach quite easily. We are all somewhere on a continuum between the two. Some of us are actually ambiverts – we have a perfect balance of both traits. Introverts sometimes act like an extrovert to cope in the outer world. (it's why I was always picked as an extrovert years back) I've written about introverts before. It's a subject that has many misunderstandings such as, introverts don't like to talk (they do, they're just not so into small talk) and they always want to be alone (they are happy with their own thoughts but do get lonely when they can't share them with others) You might want to check in with some typical traits of extroverts and introverts. Extrovert traits: Has large social networks Enjoys being the centre of attention Tends to think out loud Makes quick decisions Gains energy from being around other people Outgoing, enthusiastic, and positive Thrives in team-oriented and open work settings Introvert traits: Enjoys spending time in solitude Doesn't prefer to be the centre of attention Values close one-on-one relationships Thinks before they speak/not as talkative Needs time alone to recharge and reflect Prefers working in quiet, independent environments Is deeply focussed and thinks about specific interests Can be seen as reserved For extroverts: Susan Cain says –
For introverts:
