I am currently reading a book about introverts so yes all I want to talk about now has to do with being an introvert, it's annoying I know but most of you did put up with me this long when I talk about cats almost every week so it won't be that bad to stick around for however long I take reading that book.
" There is no such thing as a pure introvert or a pure extrovert. Such a man would be in a lunatic asylum."
I completely agree, even if we all have different personalities such as being an introvert or an extrovert but none of us are fully what that personality test says we are. All of us are complex human beings with different background and upbringing which is why there is different types of introverts and different types of extrovert. Things are never black and white, in my opinion there is always a gray area and a hole in every theory, don't come at me that is just my opinion. I am in fact an introvert but I am not a pure introvert because if I were to be one I would never step foot outside my house, I would never interact with others and I would be put in a psych ward. Let's get into the myths...
1. All introverts hate being around people. That is not true some of us are social introverts which means we like to spend time with close friends and I fall in that category; I love spending time alone but I also love spending time with the very few close friends I have because that also makes me happy. So no not all introverts hate being around people.
2. All introverts are bookworm. That is simply false not all introverts I know like to read some of us hate it with a passion because that depends on the person's likes and dislikes it has nothing to do with their personality because some extroverts love to read too.
3. All introverts are quiet. That is false but true in some ways let me give two parts to this answer. Part 1. most introverts are quiet upon meeting them because we aren't social butterflies unless we are taught to be more social but at first we were all quiet. Part 2. False because once we get comfortable some of us just won't shut up and we might even cut you off in a conversation because we have so much to say. For us it's all about being comfortable and being able to connect on a deeper level with someone to fully let our guard down.
4. all introverts are shy. FALSE! I can't stress this enough not every quiet person are shy, some just simply like to stay quiet and observe their surrounding before they speak or let their guard down but it doesn't mean that they are shy. I am not shy but not everyone will believe that because I am the quiet girl in the room! yes I am extremely awkward but that is part of who I am as a person but to be honest now I am less awkward lol, I am not shy because I am not afraid to talk or meet new people and if I like someone's vibe I will even crack jokes with that person and be comfortable but if you are anxious then I will become anxious (I am an INFJ So I do take on other people's emotional state without wanting to.) *Also if you want to know what your personality is take the myer briggs test! I love psychology so yes I am always trying to figure out what my personality and my friends personality are. By taking the test you will learn more about yourself and you might even figure out why you are the way you are and for me that is the best thing in the world!
There are more myths but I just can't think any more of them plus I just had lunch so my belly is full... I kinda want to take a nap but I am at work.
