"Introverted people do extreme things just to avoid people," goes the myth, but Carl King reminds us that describing people as such is a shallow assessment.
“I've written a lot of silly blogs, but I never expected so many readers to read them 10 myths about introverted people,” he said Carl King, a filmmaker and actor who created on his blog two million reach on the blog post mentioned above. After he discovered the book The Introvert Advantage: How to Thrive in an Extrovert World, it felt as if someone had written it an encyclopedia about the unusual group of people she belongs to. Not only did he find his explanations in the book eccentricity, but she helped him re-do it defining your life.
She really touched him because he was always under pressure because he is introverted and thought there was something wrong with him. But after reading the book, specifically the part that shows the human brain and explains how neurotransmitters follow different dominant pathways in the nervous system of introverts and extroverts, he realized he was fine. It turns out that introverted people are too sensitive to dopamine, so external stimuli exhaust them. The opposite is true for extraverts who they can't get enough dopamine, and they need adrenaline to create them.
The book says it's only about 25 percent of people introverted, and these are myths about them.
MYTH 1: Introverts don't like to talk: they don't talk if they have nothing to talk about. They hate casual conversation. Talk to an introvert about a topic they love and they won't shut up until tomorrow.
MYTH 2: Introverts are shy: what they need is a reason to interact. They won't start a conversation simply because it needs to be talked about. If you want to talk to an introvert, just start.
MYTH 3: Introverts are rude: they just want everyone to be honest. Since in most cases it is difficult to find such persons, they are under a lot of pressure.
MIT 4: Introverts don't like people: if an introvert considers you a friend, then you are a truly loyal person. Once you get his attention and respect, you're 'in'.
MYTH 5: Introverts are reluctant to go out in public: they gather information and memorize very quickly, so they don't feel the need to walk around for no reason. They go home, analyze everything they have heard and seen, and recharge themselves or prepare for the following information. This is key for them.
MYTH 6: Introverts always want to be alone: they think and dream a lot. They like to have problems and solve them themselves. At the same time, they can be very lonely if they can't find a person to share their thoughts with.
MYTH 7: Introverts are weird: they keep their opinions to themselves and do not look at their surroundings, which is why they are often considered strange. They don't make decisions based on what's popular at the moment.
MYTH 8: Introverts are 'nerds': it is merely their inner world, which is significantly more stimulating and they benefit from it.
MYTH 9: Introverts don't know how to enjoy themselves and relax: they relax at home and not in busy public places.
MYTH 10: Introverts can become extroverts: they cannot 'fix themselves' and deserve respect for their temperament and contribution to the human species.
