INTROVERTS!!!EPISODE 2: TWISTED!!
 It's been proven beyond reasonable doubt that introverted personalities gain energy through solitary. These people are de-energized by social events.


 
In a world where 90% of humans are extroverted in nature, it can be a struggle being an introvert. (fact: even animals do have introverted and extroverted personalities.) Some people are born introverts and some become introverts over a period of time due to situations. 
Loners
 Who is a loner? From my perception, correct me if i am wrong, A loner doesn't  want to associate with the world or people even if they could and it would cost them nothing, they don’t want to, they want to be alone.( Note: introverts don’t hate people, they just need to be left alone most of the time naturally, else they lack energy and even self worth.)



 DON'T GET IT TWISTED: the word introvert does not= boring, shy, geek, snob(it looks like but its not), uncaring.

 MICROSCOPIC CHARACTERS OF INTROVERTS : (i call them microscopic because you have to know them to a certain level before you see these things or they have to be in a hyped mood before you see them manifest).
  1. They can be funny.
  2. Bring life to a place.
  3. Mostly crazy people.
  4. Emotional.
  5. Fun to be with.
 As an introvert you may feel you got more introverted as you grew older, yes it may be but mostly not really, why do i say this? When you were a child you lived under your parents or guardians, you did as you were told, some laws governed your actions and behaviour but as you got older you had more freedom, you did more of what you wanted, so you started acting according to your freewill, and then your introverted nature just became more obvious and unbearable.
  (note; not all introverts are shy.)
I am more on the shy side, i am nervous when i am with a smaller group of people whose attention is focused on me, i have pre-stage frights, i am not so nervous on stage as i am before and after. i am nervous and totally uncomfortable at any kind of reunion. I am suddenly shy once i feel too much attention is focused on me, (even within my family)
  note: irrespective of this differences, individuals can posses both characters.
Thin lines:
1. shy vs introvert:
        shy:
  1. 1.
    nervous or timid in the company of other people. 
  2.     point: shy person may enjoy company and long to get involved, but cant because  they feel nervous while a nonshy-introvert may choose to speak if they are interested in the conversation, or choose to observe.
  3.       introvert: appear timid in the company of other because they prefer to observe or they may not be enjoying the company around them. 

  4. 2. quiet vs introvert:      

  5.     quiet:

    1. 1.
      making little or no noise.
    2.     point: some introverts are quiet out, and noisy within those they know well, but they are introverts that are just totally quiet, the almost don't speak.
    3.        introvert: don't feel the need to speak as much.

    4. 3. insecure vs introvert:                     insecure:
      1. 1.
        uncertain or anxious about oneself; not confident.
      2. point: anyone can be insecure, but some people are just so insecure, they try to lock the world out, and  introversion becomes their refuge place.
      3.    introvert: -nil
      4. The insecurity most introverts face is the insecure feeling we get from being introverts.

 You see, extroverts don't understand what we just do being alone, i don't know what they think we do, maybe they think we just stare at the ceiling, dear extroverts, i promise we are not just there doing nothing, our solitary is where we do a lot of somethings, it is where we accomplish all you accomplish in your outside world. Introverts are always up to one thing or another in their heads, always feeding their minds, mostly lost in thought.
 So while being up in your heads, there are various ways to put your imagination to use:

  1. Constructive imagination: problem solving, adventures.
  2. Reminisce: overly frequent memory of past events. 
  3. Guilt streamed: always in the past, regretting and regretting. 
  4. Creative imagination: artistry, design and inventions.
  5. Distractive imagination: fantasy, always in the future, hardly ever in the  present.    
 In the cause of my research i have meet a lot of outgoing people who confess to be secret introverts, i don’t know how true this is or how possible it is , i wonder how they can blend in both characters at the same time, on second thought, yes, maybe they can because i know how i do when i go to some environments, i just play a whole different personality, just because maybe i don’t want to get identified as quiet, anti-social or boring but i can only do that a few times, these people say they are introverted and they are as social as!!!!, and cope with crowd everyday on a regular, do they act everyday??.  It definitely seems impossible to me. what do you think?,  well i would stop here for today. please drop you comments below, i need your opinions.

  1. I have been labeled as an introvert by a lot of people and could call myself one as well. I hardly make friends , though I can talk and laugh people at church and school, it just never passes that level. No numbers and visits and all that. I came to realise that this was triggered , either partly or entirely by some of my experiences in the past. Things that happened to me that I should have gotten help for but never did because I was afraid of looking bad or looking like an attention seeker. It made me shy away from intimate relationships with people and made me feel better alone than with people. I do get lonely but I still feel lonely even in a room full of people so it makes me think that there is no point anyway. I am saying all this because it's also something you could look into in your research. There could be people out there who are introverts not because they were born that way but because it was triggered by some life experiences and they can really get to understand themselves better once they are able to deal with the emotional and psychological effects of those experiences. I hope I am making sense and I hope to hear your take on this
