Myth No. 1: Introverts don't like to talk
It's not true. Introverts just don't talk when they don't have something accurate to say. They hate superficial conversations or things they don't care about, so they choose to keep quiet. If they find a conversation interesting, notice how they won't stop talking.
Myth No.2: Introverts are shameful
It's not about being introverted. Not necessarily an introvert is afraid of people. What they need is a reason strong enough to interact.
Myth No.3: They don't like people first
It's actually the opposite. Introverts are selective and will love and appreciate with fanaticism the friends they have. Their friends can count on them for everything and if you're so lucky to have friends with an introvert, you can say without fear that you've earned a good friend for the rest of your life. It's enough to earn their respect, never to forget you.
Myth No.4: They always want to be alone
That they're comfortable with themselves and their thoughts don't mean they don't want company. They think a lot and dream even more. They like to have problems solving or puzzles to fill in their lives, but at the same time they can feel very lonely if they don't have someone to share the things they want. They're original and true in relationships with people.
Myth No.5: Introverts are strange people
Introverts are usually described as individualists. They don't follow the crowd and they prefer to live their own way. Occasionally they also challenge the norms of society and do not make decisions by being influenced by the trends of the moment.
Myth No.6: They don't know how to have fun and relax
Their oaz of peace is home or nature. They prefer to be away from noisy places with many people and do not get excited or impress the things they like about mass. If there's a lot of noise and conversation, they become hermetic and choose to keep quiet.
Myth No. 7: They can change by becoming extroverts
A world without introverts means a world without scientists, without musicians, without artists, poets, writers, doctors, or philosophers. That said, we can add that there are ways for an extrovert to learn to interact and coexist with an introvert. Introverts can do nothing to "fix themselves" because they have nothing to fix and must be respected for their natural temperament and contribution to humans.
