  • In this video, we'll explore 10 ways introverts intimidate people. Introversion is a personality trait that some people have a hard time wrapping their head around. It can be defined by a preference for being alone and a tendency to be quiet around others. And while introverts are people who like to be alone and they tend to go out of their way to avoid social situations, that doesn’t mean they’re shy or antisocial; they just need more time for themselves than others do.
    If you're an introvert yourself or if you know one, then this video will help you understand their unique personality type and special characteristics better.
    You might find that their quiet nature has nothing at all to do with how much they like you; it just takes them a little longer than most people to warm up and relax in new situations.

    Being an introvert is also a form of protection because you're able to pick up on those with bad intentions much quicker. You're able to sit back and analyse people way better than those who aren't introverted.

      I grew up in the 1970s and 1980s, and being introverted was considered abnormal by the other kids. I was called "stuck-up" by a lot of kids who never bothered to try to get to know me as a person. Name calling and marginalizing was the norm. I marched to the tune of my own music and minded my own business, which the other kids hated. Thanks for your post. Now I realize there are a lot of other people who are introverted; and I used to think I was the only one.

    I’m an introvert. I’m a 43 year old man. It wasn’t until I was 41 that I realized introvert personality was a thing. Before that, I just thought there was something wrong with me, that I was not normal. Related to this, I’ve never been a relationship, though I desire it. Online dating is the only way I could ever work up any courage, but going back to what I started with, I’d create profiles and interact trying to hide "what was wrong with me". I now realize that probably hurt my chances. I’m happy now that I’ve embraced my introvert side. I no longer think loving being on holiday alone for a week and not talking to another person is strange. I have the feeling it’s too late for me with relationships, but happy that I’m not alone and there is nothing wrong with me.

    As an introvert having grown up in a harsh extroverted family, I felt misunderstood and constantly punished for not being like them. I was their target and school was a nightmare. It took a lot of counseling to understand that my needs were valid and there was nothing wrong with me. I’m at peace with myself and thoroughly enjoy my life and a lot of space from people. Can’t deal with the drama and can easily read people. All the videos I’ve seen and books I’ve read convince me that being this way is a super power I enjoy and truly a gift I cherish.

      People usually misunderstood the quiet ones. Especially when you're being an introvert. It even adds more to this ,when you're an empath. And cherry on top HSP. I don't feel lonely. I am just enjoying time reading, seeing something. Have my own thoughts. I can't stand gossip, "chitchat" talks or nonsense. It's overwhelming, -stressful to hear these silly conversations about nothing seriously.Too many people around are overwhelming, only depleting the batteries, which you need to recharge into a quiet enviroment. Silly socializing with anybody also doesn't make sense. We're way selective, to whom to socialize with, but not arrogant. People don't understand, quite often, in general.

    As an introvert who is now 50 I have had many people think bad of me because they didn't understand me. An example would be a friend introduced me to his group of friends. When I go to the restroom the group ask the friend who brought me why I was "anti social" and in a bad mood. I wasn't in a bad mood I just always sound monotone when I speak and I have a dont mess with me face all the time. After getting to know these folks they all understand me now and we all are friends. I also find it's more difficult for us introverted to find a partner in life especially as a man as we are often thought of as awkward and shy instead of confident and women desire confidence. I'm trying to find a introvert to date as I have never dated one and want to see if it's better for me. I believe it will be honestly.

  • @jackhess2021
    @jackhess2021 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    From an introvert point of view, I see socializing as a way to maintain cohesion in a group and therefore is necessary. It is a middle area between the introvert and the extrovert. My problem is when the extroverts switch on their mouths, they don't listen to anyone but themselves. They criticize everything they don't like. They usually end up criticizing me for being who I am. Then I leave the group for good as I get punished for being me and they act like they are normal and can look down on me as my judge. This happened to me when I joined a square dance club in Colorado. The caller didn't like my quiet stance and she told me so. When I was in high school my dad and I worked at the same place. He was outgoing and friendly and everyone liked him. He would tell me that people thought I was stuck-up (I thought I was better than everyone else) because I didn't talk. What I have discovered is that extroverts need someone to listen. As introverts we have the super power because we can choose who to listen to or not--they need to run their mouths--we don't need someone to listen to.

    I was just like all these since I was a child. Everybody was looking at me weird. I was forced to join my family and friends, and sometimes it felt bad. It took me too long to understand the reason why I couldn't stand people who like small talk and never close their mouths (they drive me crazy, I react way differently when I have annoyed people pushing me and stealing my precious time). It took me a while to stop being concerned about what others need always to say and move on. We cannot close people's mouths, we just let them do what they do best.

      Hang in there- it was really difficult growing up for me too. I had been bullied pretty severely (due to things about my family that I had no part of), and I’m not sure if I was an introvert before then, or if that may have caused it, because I was so young. But either way, I’ve always preferred my own company to that of others. Life seemed insurmountable when I was younger, but as a 48 year old man, I’ve found how to deal with it and other people, and kind of meet others halfway. My point is, don’t let it hold you back or make you feel like you’re less than anyone else. It may take you some time, but you’ll get through it- try to not let depression get a hold of you either, as it’s already hard to talk to others about how you feel, so nobody really knows what you’re going through. If I can get through it and make it almost half a century, I’m sure that you can do the same. Good luck, mate-

My partner is the opposite and very extroverted, he thinks because I am shy then I like being alone all the time which isn’t true, I do get lonely and like to spend time with others, but they have to be the right kinds of people. I am quite a sensitive person so people have to walk on eggshells around me but I am a mentally strong person as well. I don’t choose to be an introvert and if I could change, I would but it’s something I’ve suffered with all my adult life and is ingrained into my personality.

    I know extroverts are probably going to be disliking this video and adding negative comments but that itself is exactly why extroverts are more likely to cause drama.

    I've been a introvert my whole life and it's awesome. i rather spend my time in the woods with my camera exploring by my self than getting together with other people. When it's totally dead quiet and nobody is outside, like 04-05 in the morning is the best time ever! The best feeling i know and when i'm the most happy is just that, by myself away from the noise of city life. you should try it 😄

    Hey there! Loved your video on "10 Ways Introverts Intimidate People." As an introvert myself, it's crazy how often people misunderstand our nature. Being quiet and preferring solitude doesn't mean we're shy or antisocial, we just thrive with some alone time. Thanks for shedding light on this! Keep up the awesome work! 🙌🔥
