Feeling Introverted? What is an Introvert and How to Hang Out

1. Interact With Only One Person Even In Crowds As mentioned above that introverts are people who focus on themselves and this makes it difficult for you to understand other people, especially if you have to interact with many people. The solution is simple: you can only interact with one person. This will make it easier for you to understand the other person’s intentions and feelings, while also making it easier for you to respond to them.

Even if you have to deal with a lot of people, you can focus on just the one person whose topic interests you the most. If they are talking at the same time, you can ask them to take turns talking. This will lighten the load of the conversation you receive.

2. Ask open-ended questions to get the other person to comment a lot introverts need to practice asking open-ended questions Two keys to being comfortable while chatting are showing interest in the other person and asking questions about what they are interested in. So early in the conversation, you should ask open-ended questions about them. If you don’t understand, open-ended questions are questions that can’t be answered by simply “Yes” or “No”. This question provokes the interlocutor to comment long.

For example: “What do you think about the movie Money Heist season 2 yesterday?” “Why do so many say Cyberpunk 2077 is bad?” “I heard you were learning Python. Why did you choose that programming language?” This is an easy way for introverts to participate actively without having to talk too much. So you save speech, energy, maintain engagement, and can focus on hearing the other person’s opinion.

3. Pause for a moment if you want to compose words introverts need to arrange words before speaking There are times when you want to convey more detailed information or put together words that are easier to understand, but aren’t ready to say it right away. In this situation, you can “buy time” by telling the other person that you need time to think. You can say like this: “Give me a minute, I’m digging in more detail what I want to say…” “Let me have a moment to think about it…” In an extrovert-oriented society, it is usually considered rude to remain silent and think in the middle of a conversation. However, by letting them know that you need a moment to think, you will definitely be allowed to pause and explore the information you are trying to convey.(*)
