Typically, the person that no one understands. Introverts are often commercialized into the people who "sit at home watching Netflix all day." On the contrary, the real introvert is the person who thinks deeply, keeps to themselves, and feels depleted by social situations. The opposite of an introvert is an extrovert.

Opposite of extrovert. A person who is energized by spending time alone. Often found in their homes, libraries, quiet parks that not many people know about, or other secluded places, introverts like to think and be alone.

Contrary to popular belief, not all introverts are shy. Some may have great social lives and love talking to their friends but just need some time to be alone to "recharge" afterwards. The word "Introvert" has negative connotations that need to be destroyed. Introverts are simply misunderstood because the majority of the population consists of extroverts.

What you are; looking at this definition

A person who gains energy through low stimulus activities.

These activities can include spending time alone, reading, studying, going for a relaxing stroll or jog, etc.

Introverts are not necessarily shy and can in fact be very social, provided they have time to recharge afterwards. One defining characteristic seems to be that they feel less reward from highly social situations which is why they can loose energy, feel tired or even overwhelmed when at social events such as parties, concerts, sporting events, etc.

The exact opposite of an "extrovert" and introvert tends to keep to themselves due to having a different mindset than everyone else. Introverts tend to have a strong sense of self, caused by their solitary nature. They have few friends but those friends are very precious to them. Despite their appearance they sometimes have low self-esteem and tend to feel lonely often. However, an introvert enjoys their time to themselves very much and considers that time most precious. extroverts tend to hate and misunderstand introverts since they can't understand them. Due to this introverts usually avoid most extroverts because they tend to be assholes or because some of their pointless conversations tend to kill brain cells. Due to dealing with extroverts, they can come up with amazing comebacks. Introverts are very interesting people to talk to because of their completely different view of the world and are great to have as friends because they'll never betray you

An introvert isn't the antisocial *sshole that some of the other definitions have made them out to be. They're misunderstood because they make up a minority of the population. They recharge via solitude. Some socialize in small groups, and others get very nervous and don't socialize unless spoken to.

Somebody who usually prefers to be alone rather than with other people. Introverts "recharge" by chilling by themselves, whereas extroverts "recharge" by being with other people. There can be outgoing introverts, but all introverts get tired after a lot of social time.

If you're an extrovert with an introvert friend, make sure to let them have time by themselves. Don't pressure them to hang out with you if they don't want to. Remember, it's not an insult to you that they don't want to hang out. They're just easily tired by social situations.

A word that got so fucking ruined by meme channels I can't look at it anymore and think that's it's normal. These fucking bastards who make introvert memes and get it wrong should be locked up and probably be sentenced to death.

The most understanding and loving types of people you'll ever meet! Unfortunately, they are often taken for granted by society, but once they feel safe in their environment, you'll see their true and real colours. If you ever find one, don't hesitate to get to know them, but be warned they do require a bit of patience, but they will get there eventually ;)

Personally, I'm an introvert guy myself, and I'm not writing this, because I'm one, but because my introverted friends are the best ;)

P.s. not all introverts are antisocial or shy, they just value their alone time a lot
