ARE INTROVERTS MORE PRONE TO DEPRESSION THAN EXTROVERTS?

To begin with we first need to understand what exactly introversion and extroversion is. Introverts become exhausted when they are with other individuals, but when they are alone, they restore their vitality, whereas extroverts are the people who gets energetic when they are surrounded by people but when they are alone, they grow exhausted and gloomy. We must understand that there is nothing wrong with being either especially  the people who are introverts because they are the one’s  who are often looked down upon because of their personality traits of being diffident and timid. But they are the ones who have creative and original mind and are a great problem-solvers. 

However, a prominent symptom of depression is withdrawal from people which is also a personality trait of introverts who likes to be in solitude away from others. Thus, someone who doesn’t know the introvert well might believe that the person have depression or social anxiety based on these traits. But a closed one can motivate the introvert to seek professional help. 

REASONS WHY INTROVERTS ARE MORE PRONE TO DEPRESSION

1.BRAIN ACTIVITY IN INTROVERTS

Introverts don’t want or crave more stimulation from other people because they already have a lot on their minds. Because of which their brain activity is significantly higher than that of extroverts, according to neurological research. But this has a negative as well as positive aspect since such brain activity can be used as strength because introverts typically are brilliant thinkers and creators but but it can also be a disadvantage because they may overthink certain ideas and emotions especially overthinking negative emotions like guilt, embarrassment, and helplessness as a result of social isolation can cage their minds and make them more vulnerable to mental health disorders.

2. Traits of being a perfectionist and self-assertive 

There are many self-help books which claim that being a perfectionist will not help you in gaining power over others or do not exhibit self- confidence instead it develops negative emotions. Introverts do have this personality trait of being a perfectionist and are very self-assertive because of which they feel unsatisfied with themselves and with their lives of not doing good enough. And it leads to mental exhaustion and creates anxiety and they become more prone to depression. So, a gentle reminder to all the people who are being harder on themselves, to relax and be gentler and cautious of these traits.

3.Tendency of being alone

Being at ease with oneself and enjoying alone should be viewed as a strength but As we all know that excess of everything is dangerous. So, Excessive seclusion is a harmful habit that can lead to depression and other psychological problems and is the one thing the introverts should be mindful about.  

Many studies were conducted to see the linkage between introversion and depression, and it has been found out that introversion contribute to the onset of depression. A research was conducted in 2017 which suggests that people with lower extroversion tends to have more social anxiety and depressive thoughts such as suicide because they have higher levels of neuroticism which means experiencing negative feelings. 

So people with introversion are more likely to have a higher risk of depression and if someone is suffering from depression or other mental health condition should seek mental health professional help in order to correctly diagnose, treat, and analyze such diseases because recovery takes time and asking for help is a brave move.

INTROVERTS

Introverts are people who like spending time alone or with a few close people. Introverts enjoy being by themselves or being with a few people they trust. There is nothing wrong with being an introvert. One in every third person is an introvert.

Our society fails to understand what introversion is and, has labelled introverts with people who are “shy” or have “social anxiety”. Yes, some introverts are shy or have social anxiety but not most of them. They think introverts are scared of social surroundings which is not true. They just would rather do something else than interact with every single person.

Even characters of fiction make introverts look like bookworms, and that no one knows they exist meanwhile, extroverts are the social butterflies that everyone loves.

Our society apparently doesn’t like “introverts”. They think that extroversion is the only way of living. You can often see this at workplaces and schools. Only the children who are extroverts are appreciated in schools.

Did you know introverts are likely to get more marks in school or become leaders?

Another thing that our society does not understand is that people have their own ways to recharge. Extroverts like to seek out social stimulation and engage with people to recharge. While Introverts need solitude to recharge.

Another annoying thing that people do is expect introverts to become extroverts. I remember a few of my friends making me feel bad for not being as social as them. Which is wrong and is something a lot of introverts go through.

Introverts and extroverts have very different brains. Studies show that:

  • Processing events and interactions are more complicated for introverts. This is because introverts have a longer pathway for processing stimuli.
  • Introverts and extroverts also react differently to dopamine. While extroverts thrive on engaging and interacting with people, introverts feel drained by it.

People need to stop expecting introverts to become extroverts cause clearly, their brain does not work like that. Forcing them to act socially will drain their energy.

If you are an introvert who is trying to be an extrovert to be accepted by society. You need to stop. I show traits of both extroverts and introverts based on my mood. There are some days where I don’t feel like socializing, and because of the pressure, I would try to socialize and It would just drain my mental health. So, trust me it’s not worth it.

Our life is not a social competition where only the people with the most social skills will succeed. Introverts have way more knowledge and more understanding of themselves and their surroundings. People need introverts just as much as they need extroverts.

We need to do what makes us happy. If staying in a room and reading is what makes you happy do it. If only going out with two friends is what makes you happy do it.

People need to start understanding and accepting introverts as who they are. An extrovert may feel bored by themselves or with a few people, the same way an introvert may not like being surrounded by a bunch of people.

Our social skills do not define who we are. A workplace will always need both extroverts and introverts. Introverts have skills that extroverts don’t have and vice versa. So, only appreciating extroverts and making introverts feel bad for being themselves does not make sense.
