An introvert doesn't mean they talk less
To understand whether are you an introvert, you need to know yourself first. Finding one's own strengths and weaknesses. Ask yourself some questions and find the answers. If someone feels very tired after spending time with a lot of people, talking to everyone in the office or hanging out with a lot of people, or hanging out with everyone for a long time, then maybe he is called an introvert.A great feature of being introverted is that they may find themselves much more Mismatched in social matters, where others rather enjoy themselves. However, we sometimes see the opposite. They can blend in quite cordially to maintain various formalities or relationships within the society. But if someone feels more comfortable reading a book alone, doing their hobbies, listening to music, or watching TV than hanging out in the afternoon or hanging out with friends, then they are probably an introvert. Introverts are often reserved, quiet and even mistakenly called shy by others. The real fact is that introverts think twice before speaking, so it takes them a while to respond. Moreover, most introverts do not like to talk nonsense.
