People tend to misunderstand these species of people that seem to be spreading nowadays. Introverts aren't shy people to begin with, as some may state that they are shy, it has little to do with how they are an introvert. Introverts are people who energized being left alone and is drained from being with other people. They are more comfortable in the presence of silence and solitude which allows them to be left to heir own thoughts. They enjoy the power of the mind and spend most of their time being engaged in concepts and ideas of their own.
But being an introvert doesn't mean they are unsociable, they can be at most times but if they do converse with others, they would prefer talking to people that has sense rather than small talk. Even if they are good conversationalists, they are still drained from the presence of people and tire out when spending too much time with them. When they leave, it just means that they need to regain their energy so don't be offended if they do, it's just how hey roll so don't think that they don't like you. Introversion is a personality trait on internal feelings rather than external sources of stimulation.
Don't think that they never talk, you might be surprised that there are introverts who actually enjoy spending time with others, but these particular introverts prefer a small circle of close friends. How do you know if you, yourself are an introvert?
- Being around lots of people drains your energy.
-- Some people may feel exhausted at even the thought of going to a party, they would prefer to stay at home an read a book rather than with interact with people. If you were an introvert, you'd rather retreat to a quiet place or somewhere comfortable where you are sure you will not be disturbed, leaving you alone to your thoughts. But even so, this does not mean that they are not able to socialize, instead of parties, they would rather prefer the presence of a family member or close friends because the thought of talking with them is actually pleasing to their ears.
2. You enjoy solitude.
-- Your idea of a good time is spending your hours on a quiet afternoon and alone with your interests or hobbies or maybe a good walk in the park or watching your favorite movie as you munch on some popcorn with your pet. Maybe a few hours with your favorite book will be nice and relaxing, doing these things actually helps you get energized and refreshed. This doesn't mean that the average introvert always spends his/her time alone, they take a few hours to allow themselves to talk to their friends or family, just remember that an introvert will spend a few hours to themselves to energize and be refreshed.
3. You have a small group of close friends.
-- This actually cancels out a certain myth that introverts don't like people. While typically introverts don't enjoy the thought or the company of a big group of people that they only know on a superficial level, introverts prefer and allow themselves to be in the company of close friends from which they have a deep or long friendship with.
4. People often describe you as quiet and may find it difficult to get to know you.
-- Introverts are often described as quiet, reserved, mellow, and are sometimes mistaken for being shy. While some introverts certainly are shy, people certainly should not mistake an introvert's reserve for timidity. In many cases, people with this personality type simply prefer to choose their words carefully and not waste time or energy on needless chit-chat or in other words, small talk.
5. Too much stimulation leaves you feeling distracted and unfocused
--When introverts have to spend time in activities or environments that are very hectic, they can end up feeling unfocused and overwhelmed. Extroverts, on the other hand, tend to thrive in situations where there is a lot of activity and few chances of becoming bored. According to at least one study, researchers have found that introverts tend to be more easily distracted than extroverts, which is part of the reason why introverts tend to prefer quieter, less harried settings.
