Some people think introverts are socially awkward, but that’s not the case. Introverts don’t handle social stimulation the way extroverts do. This article will make you feel better if you are an introvert and feel bad about yourself.
Even an introvert doesn’t know that others are doing the same thing unless they read about them. Here are some commonly unknown facts about introverts.
15 Facts about introverts that most people don’t know
1. They make themselves laugh
They prefer their own company from time to time. This is because they like their ideas. They want to fantasize, create, read, watch movies, and relax. They sincerely make themselves laugh sometimes.
They make you laugh too. But only if they feel comfortable enough to share their humor with you. Many comedians are introverts, which explains why others rarely pay attention.
2. They talk to themselves
Have you ever caught an introvert lonely but quietly muttering to themselves? Although most people think it’s weird, many introverts enjoy talking to themselves, sometimes even more than talking to others.
This is because they are comfortable in their own company and feel that this is one of the rare occasions when they can indeed be their most authentic, most uninhibited selves. They can be as funny, loud, annoying, random, and talkative as they want when alone.
3. They like people, and they don’t
They love the good in people, get to know the real them, and feel comfortable being around them when nothing is said. They like to know the real side themselves. They want fake identities, keeping up with gossip, talking about the weather, or anything else that isn’t conducive to creating a better tomorrow.
This double-edged sword creates a world where people always wonder what category they fall into. In the end, the introvert thinks, “Should I know you or not?” Introvert quickly knows who they want to be friends with and who they don’t.
Contrary to popular belief, introverts do not hate other people or need to socialize with them. Most of them like to spend time with their friends and family. Unlike extroverts, who recharge their social batteries through social interaction, introverts need occasional solitude to recharge.
But for those who don’t understand, it can seem like an introvert likes hanging out with you. Their tendency to cancel at the last minute doesn’t do much to help their cause either.
4. They look boring even when they’re not.
One thing that bothers many introverts is the constant question, “Are you okay? Why are you so quiet?’ Most people mistakenly believe that an introvert is constantly bored, sad, tired, or angry when they are either busy with their work or lost in their head.
See, unlike extroverts, introverts don’t feel the need to constantly express their thoughts or reactions, especially not as they happen, and tend to keep their feelings to themselves.
This makes everyone around them constantly wonder what is happening because their faces don’t give anything away.
5. Loyalty is essential to them
If an introvert takes time to get to know you, you mean a lot to them. Friends are not a dime a dozen for them. This means they give you a lot of time, love, kindness, and more.

. This means that if you stand up to an introvert, it will cut them deep. They choose their friends wisely. If you have a friend who is an introvert, they love and respect you a lot.

12. They usually don’t judge you
An introvert is quiet, observant, and often deep in thought. When they go out in public, they usually stare at everyone. Maybe they’re looking at people to see what’s going on. Sometimes it’s adorable. Other times, they get emotional about what’s going on.
This leads extroverts to think that introverts are secretly judging them. In most cases, this is not the case. Rarely an introvert may be irritated by behavior, so they can feel someone else. An introvert does not like spending much energy on such matters. Irritating behavior is quickly forgotten.
13. They are easily distracted

15. They can be the life of the party, sometimes
That doesn’t mean they necessarily want to be the party’s life. They may do this out of courtesy, to be a good host, or because of other responsibilities. An introvert can entertain people.
They don’t always like it. It takes effort because it doesn’t come naturally. Therefore, they value sincere friendships and honest conversations. To entertain the crowd at a party, you must talk about small things and touch on superficial material.
It requires grandiose gestures and exaggerated facial expressions. An introvert can do all these things, but it can make them feel forced.
