Extroverts are social creatures who enjoy being in touch with people, organizations, and events; they just want to get out and do things. Their natural energy is drawn not toward distractions like movies or television, but into socially engaging activities like going out or making phone calls.
Because they love spending time with other people, extroverts prefer that others share their experiences and perspectives. They have no problem speaking up and expressing their ideas because they feel comfortable doing so.
While introverts spend more time thinking about what they want to say before speaking, extros rely more on how well they know someone else to help them express their thoughts.
They generally don’t make decisions alone, instead seeking advice from others before taking action. By being aware of your surroundings and those around you, you will better understand why an extraverted person has done something.
If you are an extremely nervous person, you could be described as a neurotic. You may tend to worry too much about things and carry your anxiety with you.
You might feel like no one understands you or wants to listen to what you want to say. This is often caused by a desire to conform or fit in others.
You’re probably a very sensitive person and have a need for stability and security. However, once you make a commitment to something, you become determined and motivated.
Also, because you’ve been trained to be so cautious and controlled, you don’t give yourself enough room to fail. You think you can’t do anything right!
Artistic people are often quiet because they spend so much time creating thoughts or feelings through art, music, or poetry. They may be called artists, but writing is very private for them.
They love thinking about things, which is what artsy people do best. When you’re around an artistic person, you should offer them privacy in their social experience.
Let them talk or think about something else while together. Also let them learn your names and ask how you are doing if they see you that day. They enjoy being invited out and sharing themselves with others.
The thinking type
If you are a thoughtful person, you like to think before you act. You may be a careful planner or a creative thinker. You might plan an event out to the smallest detail or love trying new things.
You have great ideas that you would want to share with everyone, but sometimes you don’t know how to put them into action. A lot of times, not speaking is also coming from a place of confidence and trust in yourself.
You always need time to process information and try to figure out what to do about it. You prefer a calm environment and find chaos and conflict distracting.
Also known as the rational brain, the thinking personality type is motivated by logic and intelligence. They use reasons why and how for everything they do. Their thoughts go straight to problem solving. They can get stuck on one idea until it turns into a solution.
This topic covers the characteristics and behaviors of the quietist/sage kind of personality which is quite different than the other kinds (artiste, idealistic, and intuitive).
What Does Being Quirky Mean?
Paragraph: For those who consider themselves quirky, here’s some info to help you understand the term.
According to PsychCentral, “quirk” is defined as a habit or behavior that is unusual or funny. Something that cannot be explained is said to be quirkier when it is more obvious and unique. Some
The feeling type
You are probably quiet in public but intense at home with your family.
You might be extra loud when you were drinking, but once you’re sober, that intensity is gone.
Other traits of the quiet sort include patience and competence.
You don’t need people around to get going and give you direction. You can go out and have fun without anyone getting frustrated with you.
The enterprising type
If you are not a very talkative person, then you probably are quiet because you are shy or even nervous. You might think that it is impossible to be loud and embarrassing at the same time.
However, being quiet can also indicate that you’re engaged. When there’s someone talking who needs to hear what they have to say, you don’t interrupt them.
If someone is wrong and should let their opinion go, why would you intervene? Because you want to make your own opinions worth sharing.
You see things from your viewpoint, and you want others to agree with you for your ideas to have any weight.
By being quiet, you actually show yourself to be more thoughtful. People may expect you to listen more than speak, as they assume you must be thinking deeply about something.
This isn’t necessarily a good thing – speaking often comes natural to people, while listening does not. We all know how important it is to get input from others to form our views of the world.
But if we learn to be silent (and notice when other people are trying to communicate with us), we can be like doctors in the loop who can help us define our points of view and come up with informed solutions.
The confident type
If you know how to be confidence in yourself, you are already making progress towards being more quiet. People who are quiet don’t bother trying to look silly or smart by talking too much — they just talk.
When someone talks to another person, it is usually because that other person wants to have an opinion about something or ask for help.
If you want to be quieter, you will need to learn how to avoid speaking when you should be listening. You can still join groups and forums, read blogs, and all of those things, but now you are doing them with your ears open instead of telling others what you think.
You also need to understand that not everyone wants to hear your opinions. It hurts our feelings when we aren’t asked for our thoughts or when people disagree with us.
Become someone who you enjoy being around – funny, interesting, thoughtful, creative, resourceful… then please let me know when you find him/her!
The creative type
You’re quiet, you like to think before you speak, and you have a unique style. If you talk much, it’s because you want to make sure everyone feels comfortable with you.
You are probably good at writing and creating art. If someone comes to you for help, you might not know where to start.
You don’t like to use phones unless there is another person present. You can be in a loud place without having your voice sound clear.
You prefer listening to music than talking. Sometimes you fill up time by reading books.
The social butterfly
If you feel quiet and calm, there’s a good chance you are not the most talkative person in the room.
Your introverted nature may make you shy or afraid to speak up in public or look someone in the face, but it also means that you don’t get rattled as easily.
You tend to be more self-controlled and efficient, bringing your higher level of organization into your daily life. You can be very devoted and disciplined, with an eye for detail.
You have a great sense of responsibility and aren’t happy until you have done your best to solve a problem. Your inner drive wants to accomplish goals and move forward, so you won’t let go of something you want to do.
