The average person tends to think that introverts are antisocial people who care about no one but themselves. But how true is this? How can an introvert help others? How do they care for the people around them?
Introverts aren’t antisocial but they prefer their own company and that of a few others. It is safe to say introverts are selectively social and require recharge times in order to function. The life of an introvert can be interesting as well. But the question is, how can an introvert help others?
Introverts have a lot of qualities that make them special. They are thoughtful and tend to make good friends and lovers amongst others. So here are 5 ways introverts help others by simply being themselves.
They Are Good Listeners
Introverts rarely ever want to talk about anything most time. This makes them great listeners and it comes to them naturally. They are that friend you call when you have a lot on your mind to let out. Without judgment or the need to filter, an introvert would listen to you.
Introverts also know to not change and make conversations about them. If they ever make a reference, it’s to make sure you do not feel alone and/or have a better understanding of your own predicament. How can an introvert help others? Simple. By being a good listener.
The introvert would make you feel right at home and their problem-solving abilities also help them chip in for clearer insight. This might be easily overlooked but having someone who doesn’t just hear but listens to you is a blessing.
They Are Observant
How does being observant make an introvert a helper? Introverts possess great listening skills as mentioned above but it’s a lot more than that. Most times an introvert would spot out something even without you mentioning it.
They tend to notice things others miss easily because of their observant nature. Some introverts are empathetic and highly sensitive and what this does is help them read people’s energy and body language.
The introvert is especially skilled in looking out for facial expressions, body language, and unspoken words. They are also overly analytical and considering people tend to be their true forms around them, it is easier to know when something is off.
They Are Thoughtful in All They Do
The introvert is an individual who is very thoughtful in everything they do. From the words, they speak to the connections they make. They are very intentional about it all and that’s one way they help people around them.
Whenever an introvert does something, it is usually intentional and they tend to go all the way in. When an introvert speaks, they most likely have thought it through and wouldn’t just say the first thing that comes to their mind.
This means they may take a little longer to speak or interact but whenever they do, you can be certain they truly mean it.
They Make Great Romantic Partners
Believe it or not but the introvert can make one of the best partners. This is because they are observant, thoughtful, good listeners and usually know what to do and when to do it.
How? It’s simple. Introverts love spending time alone or just being alone with their partner. This means they understand when their partner requires space and wouldn’t mind letting them bask in their own world.
Introverts tend to understand their partners’ moods and would support their lovers the best way they can. The introvert comes off as mysterious but that doesn’t take away their attractive factor.
They Make Great Friends
Contrary to popular beliefs, introverts make and have friends. Their friends are usually a small circle but it’s more about quality than quantity. Introverts get drained when they are around so many people and fall back to a long period of recharge time.
Friendship to them is investing in people you truly care about and wouldn’t mind being there for. People who also understand them and what they are about. So, as you guessed it, they can be pretty picky.
But that makes it all the better as introverts are very committed friends who have your back and believe in you even when you don’t believe in yourself.
They Make Great Leaders
Introversion and leadership are usually not in the same conversation most of the time. This is because people tend to think introverts are too meek to be great leaders. But the introverts’ natural abilities make them great leaders. Here’s how.
Introverts do not feel the need to take away anyone’s spotlight as they do not like being in it themselves. That means an introverted leader would give everyone working with them the appropriate recognition.
Introverts are deep thinkers and wonderful problem solvers. They know how to connect with their workers also because of their listening abilities. With an introverted leader, more people tend to feel seen than not.
Introvert makes a good number of things because of their flexibility and adaptability. And this is one way they tend to help others.
