Introverts are the people who prefer to be individual. They rather choose time with themselves than being in crowd.

Introverts are friends of them and support their own desires and needs before anything else. They are concerned with their own thoughts and feelings rather than external.

Introverts do not hate people or gatherings but they like to be limited and reserved. They aren’t egoistic but self-secured.

And introvert offers themselves opinions and love to flow in their own decisions rather than someone else’s decision. If you force them doing what’s good for them without satisfying them there is chancing that they might be messed up.

Introversions and Society:

Introverts feel already difficult to set themselves with someone in a world where people value extroversions. Therefore, there’re few points to keep in mind when you’re around an introvert.

They’re slow in expressing what they feel:

Introverts are slow at showing affection towards anything and displaying their feelings. That doesn’t mean they don’t know how to do it or scared of it but as being an introvert leads them to overthinking and caring more about a situation than it require which makes them to think more and more before saying or taking decisions. You don’t have to panic them or feel bad, just give them time to open their wings and feel comfortable. They are generally more sensitive and that’s why they have to be comfortable and not panicked because they think a lot before choosing their companies and once they got panicked they go on the other option of isolating them with no companies to feel back comfortable.

Hold meaningful chats:

Introverts look for more deep meaning conversations rather than one word questions to answer like how you doing or what’ up. As I mentioned introverts take time to set them it requires making them comfortable by holding conversations that really engage them and mean to them so they can be comfortable in your settings. But I repeat don’t panic them, give them time and that time is worth it if they feel comfortable for setting them with a company because they are free wide mind space guys and can be the most enjoyable of a company they are comfortable with.

Less stipulating companies:

Introverts are also of two types;

Nonsocial introverts and extroverted introverts

NONSOCIAL INTROVERT

Nonsocial introverts are those who choose to stay in their own companies and often avoid gatherings; they often look for excuses to deny invitations of parties and gatherings so they can spend their leisure with themselves but that doesn’t mean they hate gatherings or people but that’s what makes them to stay in their comfort zone.

EXTROVERTED INTROVERT

Extroverted introverts are not different from nonsocial introverts but they always look for an invitation for a party or some gathering. Probably they do not like to arrange gatherings in several ways and also look for all those affections that a nonsocial introvert needs but they often look for a call to take the extrovert inside them to leap out.

Be calm and sensitive:

Introverts tend to internalize a lot so they choose to bottling things up inside. That’s not to say that they are afraid of it but yes they are more careful about what they say. As introversion leads to overthinking situations get tougher for them to decide what actually battles fight. So they always need someone to be sensitive with them so they can stay in their comfort zone and they need someone to sense their feelings and silence without hurting their comfort zone.

They need to be handled calmly.

Mental support:

Introversion leads to overthinking and over analyzing. It’s hard for them to stay in present while their minds are filled with thoughts and concerns. They don’t mean to do it but their mind might cause anxiety and as a result they end up making distances. Try not to take it personally. Chances are they might be thinking about what move to make next because they care about relationships more or they might have other concerns moving in their minds.

Try to play the best friend role and provide support. They will be eased up and appreciate it more than ever.

Read between the lines:

Introverts are more careful about what they say and worried about what they are doing. They are not expert in sending fancy compliments instead they use small phrases with a huge meaning. Try to understand the feeling behind their phrases and respect their compliments as they think a lot before sending it.

Respect their comfort zone:

Introverts may be your best friend or partner but an introvert always need to go back in their shells in order to recharge them as their own space is their comfort zone and they feel the best they require. Try not to be over bearing or suffocating because it will add more panic and might increase their stress level and it may cause them to retrieve in their shells even more.

Spend quality time with them:

As I mentioned, introverts don’t care about settings but the company they are moving with. As being an introverts friend or partner, it doesn’t matter how many times you hang out with them but what quality it was. Try to spend a good quality time without hurting their comfort zone. It’s crucial.

Introverts at the end of the day can create the best human interaction.

Fully accept them:

Introverts choose one out of hundreds they deal with casually. They believe that the one they choose should respect what they are. As many introverts freak out in front of crowds or camera they expect that they are not forced to be in the spotlight. Where the world respects the one who’s in the center of the spotlight introverts expect someone to respect their comfort zone. They should be appreciated for what they are and you should accept them with it.

Don’t assume:

Ask questions and try to communicate with them. As they may be slow at revealing things as communication doesn’t come closer to them and their silence can often be misinterpreted. That’s not to say they are incapable of expressing their feelings but a lot of potential conflict can be avoided if you ask them to converse with you
