How to Care for the Introverts?

Jonathan Rauch (2003) author and contributing editor of The Atlantic notes that according to science introverts process information differently as found by studying the brain scans. Science has brought out a great insight about introverts’ habits and requirements and signifies that introverts are more likely to be misunderstood as individuals who are too serious or aloof or arrogant/rude (Rauch, 2003). Hence it is crucial not only to understand the introverts but also care for them.

1. Make them feel accepted for who they are:

Introverts accept themselves as who they are. But at times they wish they are more social like other people. Nevertheless, introvert personality or introversion is not something that introverts need to outgrow but something they have to learn to accept and grow into (Cain, 2016). Hence extroverts have to help introverts by accepting them as they are. An extrovert accepting his/her introvert partner as he/she is enables the introvert to cherish themselves for who they are. Accept them for their unique trait!

acceptanceMany a time, I have tried to make friends by being more sociable like an extrovert. Somehow when I find that I can’t find a mental match, it gives me a tough time and I prefer to go back into my shell. I realized that I cannot gel with individuals with an attitude or mindset different than mine. I tend to make friends with people who are realists, honest, down- to-earth practical and uphold moral and humanitarian values.
