Nowadays, we live in a world where the terms \u201cintrovert\u201d and \u201cextrovert\u201d are thrashed around. You might even hear them on a daily basis, but have you ever wondered what they really mean? The general consensus is that introverts are quieter and fond of their own company, while extroverts thrive around others and normally take center stage. However, there is so much more to it than that. Here are the 5 signs that you\u2019re an introvert.<\/p>\n

You have an inner monologue that won\u2019t be quiet<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re an introvert, you normally have to deal with a little voice in your head that takes you through the whole day. Those who have this inner voice often find it hard to switch off even when in a silent room, because you will suddenly be thinking about something you said to your mom five years ago, and how you should have said something completely different.

You often feel like a fraud<\/h2>\n

Although introverts would happily never turn up to an event and introduce themselves to other people, sometimes you just have to suck it up and do it. You plaster on a smile, and you try to forget the embarrassment and the anxiety that you are feeling in the pit of your stomach. You also can\u2019t shake the feeling that you\u2019re a complete fraud the whole time. You\u2019re being sociable, but it\u2019s just not who you are.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll rather write than speak any day<\/h2>\n

There are some instances in life where you just have to get your thoughts out. While extroverts are normally able to say these thoughts out loud, introverts are much better at writing them down. That\u2019s because writing things down gives you enough time to really think about what you\u2019re going to write, and give you time to reflect. If you were to speak these worries, the pressure will just be too much.<\/p>\n

You know that parties aren\u2019t for meeting new people<\/h2>\n

One of the biggest misconceptions of introverts is that they don\u2019t like to socialise. This isn\u2019t true, because introverts are the life of the party if they are with people they know. In an introvert\u2019s eyes, parties aren\u2019t for meeting new people. They are to meet their friends and to be around those they have learned to be comfortable with.

You notice details that other people miss<\/h2>\n

Because introverts tend to observe from afar, they get the chance to notice details that other people miss. This life of people watching may seem boring to the extroverts of the world, but what they don\u2019t realize is that they\u2019re missing a huge chunk of the life around them. Introverts are able to spot subtle changes in a friend\u2019s mood or just the fact that they\u2019ve had a haircut. You never know when this will come in handy.
\nIn today\u2019s day and age, introversion is looked down upon. Of course, that\u2019s all a load of bologna. Some of the most successful people in the world have been introverts, so could you be the next one?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
