Friendships. Making new acquaintances is difficult for introverts since getting to know someone takes so much work. Introverts, on the other hand, do not require a large group of pals. Even if they know a lot of people and have a lot of acquaintances, they prefer one or two close buddies. These friendships are usually based on shared interests rather than physical appearance. Introverts can't be considered complete individuals without considering their relationships with others. Although they may seem like they want to avoid people, that is not true; they just need time and space to think and relax. An introvert's world does not include everyone; it is only certain people who fit into their life as friends or companions. Introverted people are called "quiet" because they are private persons who do not like public attention. However, this does not mean that they are antisocial or avoid people. Quite the opposite, an introvert will usually enjoy being with others, but needs time by himself or herself to recharge energy levels. That is why extroverts are attracted to introverts: they get a fresh start every day with no burden of past memories or interactions. Introverts can have friends who are not introspective such as extroverts or vice versa. It all depends on individual preferences. There are also introverts who are extremely sociable, and others who are not at all.
