People have their own unique personality that are different from others, in general, it can be divided into 2, introversion and extraversion. Those terms gets thrown around a lot, but often, we heard that being an Introvert is “bad” and an Extrovert “good”. Is being an Introvert really that bad? So, is it not good to be Introvert person? Well sometimes even we want to change from being an Introvert to Extrovert, yet we keep failing, but is it really the right choice to change ourselves to be different person? Well, good news, you don’t have to change your personality, because being an Introvert is a good thing too. Why? Well let’s check it out why being Introvert is a good thing.

 

  • You’re comfortable being a party of one
    • An Extrovert tend to always hangout with their friends. As a result, they will feel very tired and uncomfortable when they are home. As an Introvert, you can find endless of ways to entertain yourself. Like playing video games, watching a movie from the internet, etc.
  • You can slow down and appreciate life
    • An Extrovert likes to experience many activities. Well, this is a good thing. But Extroverts tend to lose sight of what’s important on that said activities. It’s the opposite with Introverts, they like to do a specific activity wholly. With this, they can the experience fully.
  • You have amazing friends
    • As you know, Extroverts are people that loves to hang out with many friends. As a result, Extroverts has many friends to rely on. But those friends are just normal acquaintances, no more, no less. On the other hand, Introverts tend to make a long-lasting connection with their friends. They got fewer friends, yes, but they got friends they can rely on.
  • You look before you leap
    • Extroverts really like to try something by experiencing them on field, which is why they tend to make mistakes. Unlike Extrovert, Introvert people usually research about the activities which they will experience, so they will not make many mistakes when they are doing that said activity.
  • You can be the calm in the center of the storm
    • As we know there are always time where deadlines are coming. As Introverts, you can use your personality as a weapon where you can keep calm rather than stressing and make yourself crazy.
  • You’re a Dreamer
    • Introverts usually looks like they are daydreaming. When they are daydreaming, they use their excess energy to create crazy and unbelievable ideas, that might just work.
  • You don’t need a babysitter
    • As you know, Introverts usually learn something by experience. So, most managers like the Introvert’s habit. With this, they can spend less time to train new-workers because said worker will spend their time learning themselves.
  • You intrigue people
    • Often, people said that Introverts are mysterious. Well, that’s true. You don’t know what they like, or what they think, because they don’t speak that much. Sometimes, when you thought that they are thinking weird, crazy things, maybe they are just thinking about their dinner or lunch, and it’s true.

 

So, after reading great things about Introverts above, what do you think? Well, it’s not about good or bad if you are an Introverted person, but it’s about how you handle your own personality with your style.
