💌 3 Ways introverts can better understand extroverts:
1) When an extrovert likes you, they tend to be chatty and enjoy asking you lots of questions so you can become closer friends. Their interviews are not necessarily meant to cause annoyance or inconvenience.
2) Don't be offended if some extroverts seem to ignore you at times. Because of their wide range of network and acquaintances, it's not easy for them to have lengthy conversations offline and online with every individual they know. It's normal to see an extrovert who talks faster than you do or seems like they're always rushing. They may want to get done with the dialogue to complete their assignment of conversing with each person in a gathering.
3) Not all extroverts intend to be attention seekers if they post regularly on their Facebook timelines or if they are outspoken in real life. Sharing some of their thoughts or ideas with the public, expressing themselves loudly and letting others know about how they feel are part of being an extroverted personality type. Since they like to socialize with various kinds of people, connecting with others, frequently updating their social media accounts and chatting do not make them less energized.
3 Ways extroverts can better understand introverts:
1) Don't be offended if it takes time for some introverts to answer your messages. A lot of them prefer to think very carefully of what to say and analyze how to deliver it before they actually reply. Some have a habit of overthinking so much to the point that they seldom respond to your text because they already replied to it in their mind. Follow up with another friendly message if you insist on receiving their response, or talk to them one-on-one offline.
2) Many introverts like their privacy, cherish their alone time and prefer planned activities instead of getting surprised. So if you don't want to give them a heart attack, avoid calling them on the phone without prior notice or going to their house without an invite.
3) An introvert's silence doesn't always indicate they dislike your company. They're probably waiting for you to speak so they can listen to you attentively, or they don't want to ask too many questions so they don't seem annoying, disrespectful or nosy. Overly socializing and talking unnecessarily, especially with a stranger or an acquaintance they've just met recently, can cause them to lose energy. Thus have compassion and give them the space they need.
Whether you're introverted, extroverted or an ambivert who can be flexible in different social settings, always make sure that you maintain good manners for Allah's sake with everyone, and whatever action you decide to take doesn't harm other Muslims for no reason.
📖 Abdullah Ibn Amr RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: The Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said: "The Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe."
