something I learned- introverts

Hi! New introverted user here, wanting to add some details to this topic, if it's not going to be discarded. I find it tricky to think of a beginning for the "introvert" topic, so allow me to just go to the basics. Introverted people aren't necessarily people who are incapable of socializing. We (If I can speak as a whole) tend to struggle finding the right words to say, and showing emotions or showing gratitude can be quite difficult. But it is not that we simply can not. We can, and we have it all "planned" and "practiced" in our minds. The transition to words is a struggle. I've experience that, if there is a solid purpose, I've been able to open up And speak my mind. This could also be the case for other introverts. Some might be heavily introverted, some might be a bit more lightly introverted. A common misconception is that an introverted person is a shy person. Even though shyness and introvertedness both share seemingly withdrawn behaviours, an introverted person may still feel confident in his or her interactions. A shy, extraverted person can shut down when handling new or unfamiliar situations, or meeting new people. An introvert lives his or her life mostly reserved, he or she will be more used to the feeling. To add to this, an introvert wouldn't mind as much to sit back and listen to other people, or observing other's behaviours. The good part of getting to know an introvert, is when you've been allowed to be in his little personal bubble. If an introvert accepts another person, he or she will be more likely to freely speak his or her mind in front of the other person. As they regularly think more than they speak, their ideas and visions might shock or fascinate the other person (Caution: This might be in a good or bad way). Opening up to someone you've accepted (As an introvert) feels enjoyable! An issue introverts might have is not being quite strong in opening conversations. This is one I base off my own experience, so I can't tell if this is actually valid for other introverts. Being together with a person who can chat freely, without fearing for awkward questions or situations, is quite enjoyable to have. Don't worry about personal questions! If we have accepted you in our little bubble, that means we are willing to open up so you can learn about us. In a relationship, introverts still struggle with the emotional words. However, it's not always in the same way. Again, this also depends on other personal traits. Introverts can get overrun by emotional feelings, so they might be a bit more insecure about saying things like "I love you". The feeling can cause confusion in the minds. The ones who can control that feeling tend to prefer to show their affection, instead of saying it. Ordering flowers, lighting candles or make a nice homemade dish are part of it, but a spontaneous hug is among them as well. Especially the last one is a powerful feeling on the introvert. Introverts are also likely to be independant. Since we prefer to be in our own comfortable personal bubble, we have lived with the fact that we can do things on our own. This does not mean we can't be helpful, or we can not work with others. It might give others a sense that we are not paying much attention to another. In relationships, the one engaging in a relationship with an introvert should understand that private moments are still enjoyed by an introvert. Even though introverts might seem hard to hang out with, if you give an introvert the opportunity to pull you inside his or her zone, you can expect a delicate core under the tough shell. I hope I added the little extras well enough. If something is unclear, please say so or ask! :)
