8) Their irritation with you shows Introverts may not like to talk all that much but sometimes their body language says it all. If they are irritated with you, you may notice that they're tense or don't want to look at you. They may cross their arms and legs or fold their arms over their chest when you're there.
One of the main reasons some introverts don't like texting is because they don't like small talk — and that includes small talk through texting. When I'm talking to someone about a deep topic or something I'm passionate about, then texting doesn't feel like a burden.
Sometimes an Introvert needs time to open up, even if they're upset about something unrelated to you. If an Introvert is ignoring you (and everyone else) because there's a stressful event happening in their life, the best thing you can do is give them space.
Introverts may hide their inner feelings or excitement, but that doesn't mean they can't express themselves creatively.
There's nothing more attractive than a person who is emotionally present. Introverts make purposeful relationships because they deliberately engage their feelings when mingling with people. They think, listen, speak, and take actions with their emotions intact.
An introvert typically does not express emotions and feelings freely. In fact, it is draining for them to do so. Self-expression allows others to understand what we are thinking and feeling.
Introverts can become temporarily disillusioned by incidents that leave them feeling slighted, disrespected, overlooked, or mistreated. For a few hours they may become disillusioned not just with the person who caused their anger, but with humanity in general.
Studies have found that introverts get more easily distracted than their extroverted counterparts. Because of this, they might be annoyed when someone steps into their office for a quick chat. They also get annoyed by interruptions when they speak. Extroverts are often guilty of interrupting others while talking.
They dislike small talk and would rather say nothing than something they feel is insignificant. Although introverts are quiet, they will talk incessantly if they're interested in the topic. They also dislike being interrupted when they talk, or when they're working on some project.
Introverts are not the type to wear their hearts on their sleeves. Instead, we often have our guard up, and it can take a lot of one-on-one time for us to finally let down those walls. This can make dating difficult, especially when the other person wants to know more than we're willing to share.
Independence. Unique and fiercely independent, introverts are more inclined to let their own inner resources guide them than follow the crowd. We do our best work — and are our happiest — when we have the freedom to explore ideas, spend time alone, and be self-directed and independent.
Just like anyone else, we long for the perfectly loving and harmonious relationship, but being introverts, we may fear the conflict, friction, and energy drain that often comes with being close with another person.
Introverts can still enjoy socializing and form deep, lasting relationships with others, but they may have many different needs when it comes to dating and cohabitating. Extroverts, meanwhile, are often the life of the party and get their energy from interacting with other people.
Introverts prefer quiet, minimally stimulating environments, while extroverts need higher levels of stimulation to feel their best. Stimulation comes in all forms – social stimulation, but also lights, noise, and so on.
But simply put, introverts just aren't as interested in pursuing the things that extroverts chase. Having a less active dopamine reward system also means that introverts may find certain levels of stimulation — like noise and activity — to be punishing and tiring.
