Do you think that generally introverts are able to build deeper human relationships than extroverts?

[Worrying]

Yes

No

Introverts tend to focus on subtleties, while extroverts tend to focus on extremes. Striving for extremes is a constant challenge to find something bigger and better. As soon as an extreme is experienced, it's time to start focusing on the next potential extreme, rather than savoring the moment. The goal is about what is to come, not what already exists, so it can be harder for extroverts to be satisfied with what they have. Subtleties are endless, so there is no pressure for introverts to find the next one. It's like choosing between black and white or endless shades of gray. There is more depth when the focus is on subtleties than when it is on extremes, and the feelings are more likely to linger when we savor subtleties.

A potential negative with introverts is, since they tend to feel deeper, they can get hurt deeper. Extreme hurt can lead them to put up a wall to protect themselves from further hurt. Once they shut down, it can be hard to get them to open up again.

See introversion/extroversion as a continuum, not an either/or situation. We may lean more one way or the other, but that doesn't mean we can't also have attributes of the other. To determine whether someone is more introverted or extroverted, view how structure fits into their life. Introverts tend to thrive on structure (they can even be outgoing within their structure), whereas extroverts tend to feel limited and controlled by structure, not wanting to be held back in any way.

Great answer, especially the second paragraph. I feel that because introverts usually have a smaller circle of close ones, they are more able to give their resouces and devotion to each of them, so the impact is deeper. Whereas for extroverts, their resources and devotion are divided among more people, so it becomes "diluted". Haha, I don't know whether my logic makes sense or not.

Yes, your logic makes perfect sense. Glad I could help.

No. I do not. Not at all. I do not think there is any correlation whatsoever between the two. 🙂

yes because extroverts are usually people pleaser and so they care wo much of othet people's perception of them. they are orobe to peer pressure so if you have extrovert boyfriend/girlfriend they most likely choose their friends over yoy especially if the person you are in a relationship with is immature. introverts usually don't care or they care less and since they don't have a lot of friends they can more focus on you. extroverts are all noise and drama and people pleasinh and sexret flirtinh and secret fuckinh so introverts also tend to be mire loyal

Hard to say. I'm extra extroverted. My best friend since before K is quite introverted. We have an almost familial connection. When I think of it, my closest friendships are all with introverts. Of my group of 8, one is an extrovert and seven are at least somewhat introverted, but I was the point of connection for all. Now I'm more confused than when I started to answer lol.

In general. Yes they are capable of building deeper relationships.

Makes sense in general. An introvert is likely to invest more in fewer people and an extrovert less in more.

The capability is there.
