I don’t think that most extroverts understand the need of an introvert when it comes to the “recharge” or “self-time”. They feel it is just another escape mechanism to evade the social situations. But is this the case?
Let’s look beyond MBTI personality types and not put people into 16 bins 😀
There’s this Big 5 system based upon 5 dimensions:
Introverts can be thought of as traders who wake up with N coins and they spend a coin for every social interaction they have. It tires them to hell.
As per same analogy, extroverts are traders who earn coins when they interact. The more the better.
Sometimes the interactions aren’t smooth and introverts may feel like going into seclusion. This is the way introverts deal with life. This is not escapism but a safe haven for sanity. This is the manner in which they deal with extroverts…
But as someone said, “You don’t deal with extroverts, they deal with you… “
Till then, next time #LLAP 🖖🏽
