  • Are all introverts shy and quiet? And are all extroverts loud and outgoing? As crazy as that might sound, you would be surprised by how many people think this way! You might also be surprised by how many people think they are more introverted, but are actually on the extroverted side, or extroverts who think they are introverted. In this video, we are going to talk about the misconceptions of the personalities types of introvert and extrovert, and we are going to learn what it really means to be introverted or extroverted.

    Are you an Introvert or Extrovert? Or a little bit of both?

  • @danherrin7691

    I'm more introverted...always have been. Dealing with people, especially in crowds or parties, tends to drain me and I have to disengage for a while.

    I am definitely introvert in that while I can be talkative and social, but I prefer being alone to recharge and social interaction does exhaust me. I definitely prefer one on one gatherings. I have a ton of siblings so I learned to jump in a say what I need to say. I am open about certain topics, however I am definitely private about my thoughts and feelings. My Meyers Briggs typing was INFJ, but my I was in the 50s so I am a social and friendly introvert.

    Introvert for sure! I have a very large and mostly extroverted loud family so makes me feel Like I'm wierd because as much as I love my family I need lots of space and thinking time and people think I'm mad or annoyed when I'm not I sometimes just need some space from the chaos(as lovely as it might be) to be alone.

    I just want to say I love love your videos ! And your energy ! I have been doing EFT ( emotionally focused therapy ) with my counselor for about 4 years now and it’s so beautiful to hear other people sharing this information! I had never experienced this way of thinking or framework before I was introduced to eft . We are so programmed to think the opposite and I love love that you are helping others see differently ! Thank you for what you do ! Keep up the amazing work !

    What are the differences between social anxiety and being introverted?

    • @Dezzyyx
      @Dezzyyx 3 роки тому

      One comes from anxiety in social situations, the other has nothing to do with anxiety.

  • @gsmeo309
    @gsmeo309 5 років тому +2

    I'm a shy introvert. I cherish my alone time, especially if I've been super busy and need to rewind and refresh. I'm not a big people person and don't feel the need to be around people frequently. I prefer social events where I'm around people I know relatively well or new people that I connect with easily in a smaller capacity. I also have been liking people less and less as I've gotten older. On the other hand, I get bored easily and have to keep myself occupied in at least a small way unless I'm sleeping, in a super relaxing environment like the spa or at the beach, or I'm at some health-related appointment. I also enjoy things that involve being around large crowds like going to sporting events involving my favorite teams or traveling. However, I tend to be uncomfortable in social situations because of my shyness and the fact I don't often have anything to contribute to conversations, especially about topics that don't interest me. I prefer to listen and only say something if something said caught my attention.

    Surprised by the description of an extrovert as someone who comes to clarity by speaking their thoughts. I have noticed this in myself, but would otherwise put myself firmly in the introvert category. Interesting .......

    Good show,I am at 60\40 and that flips every so often,I wouldn't mind attention,I would worry about hurting someone feelings or upsetting someone,or to seem un greatful,I would rather feel bad than know I mad someone feel bad , especially when it's people trying to help ,I cringe even imagining how much of a jackass I would feel like,so in a large group setting I would be sweating because my mind would involuntarily replay fits or tantrums ,I have a strong conscious ,to a fault if that's possible,I am still applying teachings from you life coaches ,daily,it makes it easier to grow spiritually and improve myself (sorry for writing so much) when I can label traits,moods,behavior patterns etc.thanks

  • @tat2dfreak3

    Yeah, I know, this is an old video. I'm 1000% introvert, I only need people to deliver my stuff from Amazon, LOL. Being around people drains me so much, I avoid people. Having a friend is soooo much trouble/effort/drama/time, I don't have the energy or even a friend, now. When I was younger and tried to have friends, they all loved me because I didn't judge, was a good listener, I never interrupted them and when they were finally done talking at me, I gave really simple advice, that should have been obvious to them. They were so thankful, they always came back to me instead of thinking for themselves. Lately, since May last year, I am so introvert, I have been on STD/LTD (although, again cut off, going thru yet another appeal) I cannot leave my house, I cannot be around people. All I feel from them is them trying to steal my "essence" from me to better themselves, or control me or just manipulate me, take advantage of me.

    Introvert these days. Hard to believe with my A.D.D., but its true. After work, all I want is alone time. In my room watching tv or watching videos or playing games, or reading. Something to unwind & recharge. Used to b quite outgoing, but things change as u grow up. But I have been bullied a lot in my life. After that, I began distancing myself from everyone. Including friends. Bit more open these days, but I don't always like to talk to people. Enjoy keeping to myself more.

      Woah I can personally relate to this I was outgoing until I was bullied and felt insecure but now I really need space and I’m open and kind of loud now but only to people I’m close with it still took me like more Han 3 years to actually know a person cause I’m usually in my own world

  • @youkai888
    @youkai888 6 років тому

    so, what makes us extrovert or introvert? I think in the end it still has to do with insecurities and strengths. People who feel insecure alone, push themselves outwards an be social. They do this from a very early age and that becomes their character.
    On the flip side, introverts are people who has insecurities with being social and they feel more secure when they are less socially stimulated and alone. Again, they get used to prefer their safer zone from a very early age and that becomes their chartacter.
    To key here is that, I think, yes, maybe some portion of introverts have some serious insecurities which can't be seen as just a "character feature". But extrovert people also has insecurities and sometimes they are actually social because they feel insecure spending time alone, thinking, getting lost in thoughts.
    Even in a psychologically "healthy" person, still, insecurities play a huge role shaping up the character from a very early age.
    This is my point of view...

    Why’d you have to complicate my life? It’s so much easier putting everyone in one of two categories and putting a lock on the box :). Seriously, addressing people as nuanced individuals is something that needs to be done more in this category as well as others (like right or left brained). Anyway, I appreciate you addressing the subject this way because it’s easy to get cornered into either stereotypical extreme.
