Power Of Introversion

There are a lot of misconceptions about introverts, like that they are anti social, unfriendly, shy or lonely. But in many cases, being an introvert can actually be an asset. Introverts are people who get their energy from spending time alone. Its kind of a battery they recharge. And then they can go out into the world and connect really beautifully with people.

• They’re good listeners

Introverts are naturally adept when it comes to actively listening. Extroverted people are more inclined to jump into a conversation before fully processing what the other person has said. Conversely, introverts process information internally. That skill allows them to hear, understand and provide carefully considered insight when they do respond.

• They’re observant

In addition to their superior listening skills, introverts possess a superpower: their observation skills. We notice things others might not notice because they’re talking and processing out loud. Although it may look like they’re just sitting quietly during a meeting, introverts are actually soaking in the information that’s being presented and thinking critically. They can tell when a person is thinking, processing and observing and then gives them the space to do so. They allow time to really connect with people.

• They’re thoughful networkers

Being in a group where the goal is to meet, talk, and make a good first impression can be overwhelming for many, espeacially for us. Introverts use their natural strengths to create meaningful connections. This type of network can be more beneficial.

• They make loving romantic partners

Introverts crave personal space to reflect and refuel, and they can sense when their partners need space, too. At the end of a long day, they’re there to listen and support their partner without feeling compelled to talk about themselves. There can be something attractive about the mystery factor of introverts, that can inspire curiosity and wanting to know the person better.
