The Secret Payoff of Being Introverted
Introverted individuals as a whole may at times come to be viewed by society as a shy,
weird, problematic, standoffish, reserved, and socially awkward bunch of people.
Some studies have pointed to introverts not having enough immune boosting properties to
ward off infection and pathogens in the environment, primarily because they tend to avoid large
gatherings and its perceived cesspool of germs.
Other studies point to a link between introversion, depression, and anxiety.
While these studies may point to a correlational link and nothing directly causal, it is unfortunate
that from a social and perhaps health viewpoint, introverts have come to be perceived this
way.
In reality, we can learn a lot from their behavior, and keen level of introspection
and observation.
Let us examine the psychological health benefits of being an introvert, and why the unique
traits they possess could serve them well throughout life, and maybe in every chosen
endeavor.

1.
Introverts truly listen.
Introverts can make good friends and confidants as they have mastered the art of truly listening,
making others feel heard, understood and acknowledged.
2.
More action, less talk.
While introverts plan in terms of action, they engage in very little talk.
They can be truly more action-oriented than their extroverted mates, who at times just
talk.
Introverted individuals also seem more likely to complete goals they are working on, simply
because they actually get to it, and get into it.
3.
Cautious or prudent.
While this can drive extroverts, or those in between, nuts, introverts think before
acting.
They analyze and ponder and usually end up executing decisions that they feel confident
about.
Their lack of impulsivity can be a good thing.
4.
Less obese.
Introverts tend to be more health conscious but, again, there are plenty of exceptions
to this rule.
The idea behind this theory is that they have more of a prudent personality in general,
and as a result more conscious of what goes into their bodies.
5.
Creative.
Introverts tend to be very creative, not just artistically, but also with regards to pursuing
opportunities that others may pass over for a variety of reasons.
6.
Introspective and reflective.
Introverts take the time to reflect, with many of them reporting reflecting for a few
minutes at the end of the day.
This intuitively helps them to learn from their mistakes by trying to improve the next
day and gives them the inner confidence to see what they did right.
7.
Great leaders.
Introverts can make great leaders with their good listening skills and high emotional intelligence.
This combination of traits can draw out the best qualities in their employees, keeping
them motivated and engaged.
8.
They frown on people-pleasing.
While polite, introverts generally don't aim to please others, at the expense of their
own health, or resources.
They are able to naturally establish boundaries between work, social, and their personal lives.
This helps them to not over commit to certain obligations and then under deliver.
Usually they do the opposite.
9.
They de-stress in times of distress.
Since introverts tend to reflect more than other types of personalities, they know what
to do when they feel stress coming on.
They listen to their bodies and minds, because they intuitively know that the two are inextricably
linked.
10.
Enjoy solitude.
Introverts enjoy spending time by themselves.
Besides recharging when they feel drained, they truly enjoy their own company, because
they know themselves quite well, aren't afraid to be alone, and are at peace with
that.
They also keep a small, but close network of friends, whom they trust by their side.
11.
Dismiss noise.
Introverts find ways to decrease all of the mental and internal noise that consumes most
people daily.
This usually happens when they retreat into themselves, which others might call, going
into their shell.
This is a purposeful move.
Learn to emulate it.
12.
Not all that concerned with what others think.
Even though everyone can fall prey to what others think, and it is perfectly normal,
introverts have projected a quiet, inner confidence that prevents them from getting trapped in
what other people may think of them.
Well, surely there are many more qualities to introverts than those stated on this video
that truly set them apart from others in a very positive way.
That being said, most people in this world are neither truly pure extroverts, nor truly
pure introverts.
Most fall somewhere in the middle, at times exhibiting different characteristics depending
on what is going on in their immediate environment.
Despite this notion, it should serve us well to learn from what makes this group so very
special and at times, very successful.
Doing so can enable you to slow down and live life more fully in the present, with the added
bonus of not being restrained by what others think of you.
This way, you can live the life you actually want.
