How can you tell if you’re an extroverted introvert?
When it comes to introversion, there’s a lot of confusion. The dictionary definition is partly to blame. Google defines introvert as follows: “a shy, reticent person.”
While there are introverts who are shy and standoffish, the majority of introverts are neither, as the author’s of Confident You point out. Nevertheless, years of false associations compound the problem. Most people assume they know what an introvert is, and then they look for evidence to support their false assumption.
The reality is that there are a variety of introverts – eight different kinds to be exact. And some of them prefer more people contact than others.
