Tonight I’m a guest on a podcast called The Talkative Introvert where we’ll be talking about the nuances of being an introvert in dating and relationships, including myths, experiences, advantages and disadvantages, etc.
Just trying to get some additional field insights other than my own experience as an introvert, feel free to let me know what you think the pros and cons of being an introvert in todays dating and relationship marketplace.
I'm introverted, and my wife is not. All my life, I've been described as reserved, calm, and laid back. I didn't do it on purpose, but that's how things are. I met this woman. She is beautiful, intelligent, funny, aggressive, sweet, a big ole crybaby, and a thug🤣😆. A lot of combinations, I know! We became friends, and I never thought that we were compatible. We went on a few dates, and I fell in love with her! Whenever she gets heated with someone in public, I tell her, "Baby, shhh, it's okay, calm down," or "Baby, don't say anything," I quickly leave and escort the altercation with her. She gets passionate about things and doesn't mind speaking about how she feels about specific subjects, but I know how she can get, so I am there to calm her down. I don't mind at all. That doesn't take away the fact that I love her to death! I can't relate to how she feels because I don't like fighting and arguing. Whenever we argue, I try to be the peacemaker of it. I feel like there are no pros or cons because everyone is different 🤷🏾♂️.
In a pandemic world, where everyone is self-isolating, being introvert is NOT TOO BAD! I cherish my quiet, alone time to recharge my batteries. My job requires me to be an extrovert, which is exhausting at the end of the day!
If I can find an introvert ally, that would be GREAT! LOVE THE MEME!
- You think you need to supplicate or over compensate, especially on a date or being out because you don't have an extroverted personality. This can sometimes come across as though you're trying too hard and can put the other person off.
- Introverts can be extremely introspective and this can cause them to be self-critical and focus on characteristics that aren't supposedly 'good enough'
- The struggle of staying in the present moment.
- Introverted behaviour can sometimes be misinterpreted in the wrong way
Advantages:
- Emphasising on strengths such as being a good listener, mystery and your presence
- In dating, being an introvert causes the other person to want to get to know you more
I am an introvert, while my husband is very extroverted. The only disadvantages that I have found, though it occurs very rarely, is that sometimes I just get tired of going out and doing things and want to stay home. But like I said we keep things regulated enough to where it is not usually a problem. I would say the most relevant thing about introverts that I have found myself frequently thinking about is the myth that introverts are some weird, socially inadequate hermits who have have deep social anxiety. I see characteristics like that used interchangeably with "introvert" all the time, which is inaccurate. Introversion has nothing to do with social capabilities, it's just a different way of seeing the world and recharging your energy.
