Introversion is a term that describes people whose thoughts and even actions are directed inward. An introverted person is usually quiet and enjoys time on their own. Some might confuse it with shyness but it’s actually a pshycologically proven fact that it is not a rejection of people but a different way to appreciate the world.
What you probably didn’t know is that there is more than one type of introversy. Thinking introversion, social introversion, restrained introversion and anxious introversion are the four types of personalities that merge to produce the general definition. It’s important to know that some people might even be more than one type as they cover different parameters.
Here are 19 proofs that there are four different types of introverts. Do you consider yourself one of them?
1. Invasion of the personal bubble.
These definitely defines an anxious introvert. They are not much into social interaction as they like their personal space a little better.
2. There’s only one person in the world that can give you happiness, and that’s your own self.
Social Introverts enjoy time alone or little groups of people because they know they don’t depend on others to have a good time.
3. I get to say this on my daily basis.
Thoughtful, self-reflective, thinking introverts are the ones that can get lost in their minds.
4. Well, this has happened to me a few (lot) times.
Social Introverts can have fun at meetings and parties, but they’d rather spend time with themselves.
5. I’d rather be slow and accurate than a little faster but not that precise.
Restrained introverts take their time processing just to get the perfect answer; they are a bit more methodical.
6. It is possible to be so many things without the need to show the world.
Thinking introverts can be so creative and imaginative without particular to leave their fantasy world.
7. Libraries should sell this. It is certainly a survival guide.
Anxious introverts will find it hard to deal with other people and will have an excuse for you before answering the phone. But, what’s wrong with enjoying time alone? I think we all do this at some point.
8. Sometimes words are not able to express what we want to say, so why bother?
There’s nothing like the brain of a thinking Introvert, so full of knowledge and adventure.
9. I’m not trying to make excuses but…
A social introvert will feel no anxiety at all but will be right to what he prefers: solitude.
10. No need for an excuse, I just don’t want to.
I’d rather spend time with my computer and my dog because I’m a social introvert and IDC.
11. Who needs a shortcut when you can have so much fun through the long way.
Maybe there are a little more curves and a longer path, but the restrained introvert will definitely get to it, and he’ll be on point.
12. Who doesn’t love pizza and a nice cuddly blanket?
Both social and anxious introverts will be happy during their me-time.
13. Still as big a heart as others.
Definitely, an excellent road trip for any kind all restrained, thinking, social and anxious introverts.
14. Loneliness is certainly not a problem.
2 & 4 for thinking introverts. 3 & 5 for social introverts. 1 for anxious introverts. 6 for every single one of them.
15. This shirt is life.
Anxious introverts will get it.
16. We’ve all related at some point.
I guess I am a social introvert cause’ this is accurate.
17. It isn’t wrong to like a little loneliness every certain time.
Oh, they can all assure you that.
18. I guess introversion makes sobriety a little more painful.
It’s actually sad that some studies say that introversion is actually sobriety’s enemy.
19. My life in a graphic.
I think thinking and social introverts might say this is *very* accurate.
