"If you're a homebody or enjoy quiet, personal time, you're probably an introvert. In other words, you "recharge" by spending time alone (or in small groups with close loved ones) and prefer those settings. Even more interesting - perhaps especially for fellow personality test lovers - there are four types of introverts: social introverts, thinking introverts, anxious introverts, and restrained introverts."
""When we think 'introvert,' we often think of someone who's shy in social situations, but that's not me," she said. For social introverts, the "introvert" part is more about preferring smaller groups and people you know. "I'm OK with large-ish groups but I find it a lot, particularly if I don't know the people as I'm never quite sure what to do," she said."
Introversion centers on recharging through solitude or small-group interaction rather than large social gatherings. Four introvert types exist: social, thinking, anxious, and restrained, each displaying different needs and behaviors. Social introverts prefer smaller gatherings, feel drained after extended socializing, and often enjoy solitary activities without feeling lonely. Social introverts may be comfortable in familiar groups or when fulfilling a role, yet uncomfortable in unfamiliar large groups. Common tendencies include preferring text or online communication and requiring downtime to recover energy. Embracing introversion involves leaning into preferred settings while gradually trying new social opportunities when desired.
