Do you dislike introverts?

Question

I'm one myself and I was wondering what people's impressions of introverts are :)

nah, i'm pretty much smiling all the time so they know i'm just quiet :)

Answer 1

I don't dislike introverts - I used to be much more introverted when I was younger.So I understand it :) But I do remember getting feedback from others after I got to know them.
I was really surprised to hear that their first impression of me was not so much that I was "shy" or introverted, but that they were intimidated by me.
According to some friends at first, I came of as aloof, like a"strong silent type" - which always keep them guessing and a bit uneasy.

Since I knew that this was not my intention... to make others feel "uncomfortable", I started to come out of my shell.
I also realized that most people are more focused on "what others think about them" in a social situation then they are focused on what they think about everyone else. Once I understood this basic truth, I felt much more at ease.


I focused on the other person and asked them questions about themselves ( people love to talk about themselves :)
I asked even if I wasn't "really" interested because then the others person felt that I was engaged in the conversation even if I was just listening. This allowed me to remain true to my tendency to be introverted and not make others feel intimidated or uncomfortable.

Hope this helps
P.s.
I also found ways that I could be comfortable in social situations with out feeling I needed to accommodate everyone else. I would take the time to do the social expectations ...like introducing myself, commenting on something about them ( postive) and then asking them a question about this or that... then I could just sit back and listen to blah, blah.
Ironically now I find myself being the center of many conversations and actually enjoying myself :) In Small doses.
I still enjoy my quiet time and I don't feel bad for taking it.

There’s nothing wrong with being an introvert. Extroverts get all the attention, and most introverts I know are just fine with that. Let the extrovert make a name for himself or a fool of himself.

But do people perceive you as haughty or snobbish because you’d rather not talk to them?

Answer 3

I'm an introvert. Introverts have their weaknesses just like extroverts. There is a fair balance between the two which I try to achieve. I like extroverts because they get things done and they have wit when they do it. I like introverts because they know how to keep their mouths shut when the occasion calls for it. :)

But I'm sure you will come out of your shell oneday.. like I did..I was a shy kid but I had lots of friends.. as time went by I overcame my shyness...and now I can socialize well with anybody...goodluck
