Introvert here, who has also frequently been called a social butterfly. I think the hardest thing for folks to understand is that introverted does not mean socially inept or shy. I love being outgoing, but it also takes a toll on me. I need some quiet (usually alone) time to recharge in between outgoing sessions or I start becoming shy.
- kentt 11y agoAgreed. I think it can be hard to understand that introverts can be very skilled in social situations without being energized by it. The 'centre of the room' personality is very often an introvert, especially if they're good at it.
- myth_buster 11y agoI agree with this. I prep when I go to social gatherings and focus on having interactions and having a good time. But after that I need solitude to recharge which I believe is opposite to an extrovert who feel energized with these interactions.
