Ever
wondered why that person always stands quiet and alone in one corner
while the rest of them party? Why doesn't s/he like to enjoy life like
the normal folks?
Nothing is wrong with them. Such people represent that small section (20-25%) of our society who are known as introverts.
Their are many myths about such people in our society. For those who think that such people are shy, antisocial, arrogant, rude or dumb, its is not so.
So what are they?
They are just normal people who have their own world within their minds which they find more pleasing than the outer world.
Those who think they don't like talking, try talking to them about something that interests them. You'll be surprised to see how much talkative they can be.
If you think these people are not amiable, look a bit closely into their life. They have a few friends whom they consider to be priceless.
They dislike big groups and prefer to stay alone. This refreshes them and gives time to think or daydream or whatever you prefer to call it. This time is vital for them since they live in their inner world during these moment.
It is not that they don't like to go out and enjoy. The fact is they don't like staying out for a long time. They'd prefer to go out, complete their task and return as soon as possible. Enjoyment for them is the time they spend in solitude thinking deeply about what interests them.
So how do we befriend them? They don't like speaking at all!!
Take time to get close to them. Don't try to force them to speak. Try to communicate with them non-verbally (sending sms, chatting online, etc.), or talk with them when you are alone. This kind of communication makes them feel more comfortable since they get better time to think while the conversation goes on. Try to know what they are interested in. Try talking on that topic instead to the usual small talk. Gradually this person you want to be friends with will get closer to you. You may feel uncomfortable because of their silence in the beginning. But when you befriend him/her finally, you'll have gained an ally for a lifetime (since these people value the people in their small circle of friends much more than the extroverts).
I hope you enjoyed reading the above article.
Thankyou.
