Introvert
Introverts mostly tend to have a smaller group of friends. One of the major
characteristics of this personality type is that social situations drain introverts'
energy. They need to recharge after social events.
For introverts, the idea of a good time is a quiet afternoon to enjoy their hobbies and interests. Activities like time alone with a good book, a peaceful nature walk, or watching their favourite television program help feel recharged and energised. People may find it difficult to get to know introverts. They are often described as quiet, reserved and are sometimes mistaken for being shy. In many cases, they simply prefer to choose their words carefully and not waste time or energy on needless chit-chat. Introverts tend to be more easily distracted which is part of the reason why they prefer a quieter, less worrying setting. Introverts spend a great deal of time examining their own internal experiences. Self-awareness is one of the many strengths of introverts. Introverts typically prefer learning through observations. They prefer to observe before attempting something new. When introverts face a problem, they think about problems instead of talking about them to someone. |
Extrovert
Extroverts tend to have a wide circle of friends. Since they are so good at meeting
new people, striking up conversations, and genuinely enjoy the company of others, it
probably is no surprise that making friends comes easily for them.
Extroverts don't just enjoy talking to friends, family members and co-workers; they love to start conversations with strangers, meet new people and learn about their lives. Extroverts tend to find such social interactions refreshing, and they actually gain energy from such exchanges. When extroverts have to spend a lot of time alone, they often begin to feel uninspired. Extroverts are typically very open and willing to share their thoughts and feelings. Because of this, other people generally find that extroverts are easier to get to know. When extroverts face a problem, they prefer to discuss the issues and various options with others. Talking about it helps them explore the issue in depth and figure out which option might work best. After a difficult day at school, talking about it with friends or family can help them feel less stressed out. |
