I’m hard on the CEO of Air New Zealand but at least his big seating-related innovation was sleeping capsules for economy class on long haul flights.
Despite the terms “introvert” and “extrovert” being thrown around quite often, many people struggle to nail down what exactly they mean. Normally, it comes down to very reductive definitions, in which extroverts love being around other people and/or talking, while introverts are a sort of cave-dwelling aberration that is allergic to human contact.
To set the record straight, it’s generally best to see it as a spectrum. A person, for example, might be more introverted than they are extroverted but possess traits from both. Broadly speaking, an introvert gets more of their gratification from their “inner life.”
Often enough, this gets confused with shyness, leading many socially awkward people to self-diagnose themselves as introverts. While an introvert can also be shy, there doesn’t have to be a connection between the two. Shyness is a mental barrier, while a “true” introvert might simply not want to engage with another person (or group) in the first place.

I cant see this picture, I can FEEL it. Like, even smell it, taste it, hear it...
Indeed, all this focus on introverts, for example, the quite good and well-known book “Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking,” by Susan Cain, creates a picture of a world where extroversion is the default and introverts are some anomaly. The truth is that both “groups” have existed since time immemorial and tend to coexist quite happily.
It’s worth noting that, at least in the United States, anywhere between a third and half of all people are self-reported introverts. Because many people still assume that extroversion means enjoying spending time with other people and humans, as social animals do generally need to be around other people, there is a solid chance that many actual introverts indicate that they are extroverts.

So if you are an introvert and also feeling down, just remember that it’s no barrier to success. Some studies indicate that, for example, the majority of attorneys are introverts. In some fields, this number is very high, for example up to 90% of intellectual property lawyers say that they would classify themselves as introverts.

This happened to me. I had started talking to this guy from other department who had a crush on me. (That I was not aware of) Once when he was with his friends, he saw me at a distance, told them this is the girl I have a crush on and we are in talking terms now. He waved at me to get my attention. I of course didn't see that because I was not wearing my glasses. 10-15 days after this incident I met him in the elevator. I said 'long time no see'. He was surprised that we did meet few days back and he said hi to me but I ignored him. Told him I take off my glasses during breaks and that I definitely didn't see him. He was too much in love with me at that time so just laughed it off but he did say that it was embarrassing for him because his friends work in the same department as him and they still tease him about 'talking terms? She didn't even answer to your waving'

Because I was analyzing what you were saying the entire time and could deduce what you were going to say so I had a prepared statement ready when you were done.

I don't think this is a negative. I like to be underestimated... they're in for a surprise if someone tries to f... around with me and it's way better than being overestimated.

why are the 'introvert' memes on this site always mixing it up with mental health issues? Some introverts are happy and enjoy their lives, it's just that we recharge our energy in calm peaceful alone time.

This drives me nuts. I’m neither shy nor do I have social anxiety. Classing those as introverted also does a disservice to those with mental health issues by mislabeling them.

Extroverts always seem to be celebrated and introverts as if there is something wrong with them.

Second post in a week on introverts and like every time, you confuse introversion and mental illness, it's getting boring, find a new target especially if it's to say stupid things, thank you 😤. And for information, an introvert is generally a reserved person (but it depends a lot on the person) but above all, he is a person who has little need for social contact and whose "social batteries" run out faster than the average without suffer from any mental illness.

It took me over 4 decades, but I finally found my perfect match in this world comprised of billions of pumpkins. A few years ago we officially had enough of drug dealers selling outside our window, screaming kids, dogs pooping on our front step, sirens, and other assorted delights. We sold our crappy flat on that estate in England and moved to a remote part of the world. With minimal cost, we converted an old garage into a cottage, nicely nestled in the woods. The only angst we ever face is when we go out grocery shopping (once every 2 weeks) or when family contacts us with their woes and bullsh!t. Sometimes you just need to realise that life is passing you by, and go out and live it.

Personally, I like these kind of post. I didn't learn the term introvert till I was in my 30's and seeing these made me realise I'm not alone, always thought there was something wrong with me!

I recall many years ago one of the departments I'm seconded to had an introvert/extrovert study. The managers and business analysts started self-analysing and categorising colleagues on-the-go. It created a divide and a toxic environment to work in because the introverts felt that they were targeted and classified as "freaks". I was one of the few introverts. I left that department shortly after, including another introvert as well.
