The person I'd be speaking about today would be myself. I think I'm really introverted and have been since a younger age. And the reason for this I think would be that I don't really have an interest to talk to other people unless I really have a reason to. But other than that, I think that's what makes me introverted for the most. There could also be things such as I don't really interact with many people because I'm anti-social. But to me, I don't see that as a bad thing as I often enjoy my own presence. And I have been since a very young age, which has helped me grow a lot in life. Other reasons, I would say that additionally, I would be introverted because of my upbringing. I think I was really focused on my goals, which really made me distance myself from people. But other than that, I don't think I would have any other reasons of being introverted.

Follow up questions


How do you think being introverted has shaped your personal relationships?
Being introverted has made me more selective about my relationships. I tend to form deeper connections with a few close friends rather than having a large social circle. This allows me to invest more time and energy into meaningful interactions, which I value greatly.

What activities do you enjoy doing alone as an introvert?
I enjoy activities like reading, writing, and hiking. These allow me to reflect and recharge without the pressure of social interactions. I find solitude to be a source of inspiration and creativity, which helps me grow personally and academically.

Do you think introversion is misunderstood in society?
Yes, I believe introversion is often misunderstood. Many people equate being introverted with being shy or antisocial, but it’s more about how we recharge our energy. Society tends to value extroverted traits, which can overshadow the strengths that introverts bring.

So, that person is Charan, I know him from my college of engineering. I feel he is an introvert because he doesn't explore much, he doesn't talk to anybody. His character of speaking to others is very less compared to others. I feel he is an introvert because he doesn't share anything regarding his personal things, family things or any educational stuff. For example, when I am more hurted, I go share everything with him, I go speak out my heart. But even I doing that, I expect him to be the same with me. But till the date, he is my good friend, but he never open up, he keeps all his things within him. The introvert thing, I can give him a suggestion to be like an extrovert, going to people, saying what's in the heart or in the mind. It's a good thing to have a better clarity in the mind. Being introvert is sometimes good, in other hand, I feel it is also good because people expecting me to say all my things can be stopped.

I would like to say introvert person definitely. It's me only. Because my friends, every person is an extrovert only. So I myself, I will describe how introvert I am. Because I feel to do something means inside my heart only. I used to tell, I have to do, I have to do, I have to do. But never I have been there and doing something like that. So I most probably if I want to go explore means I can't go alone. So I used to, I want to call somebody to make sure that you have to take them. But in my time, myself, I confused that whether I have to call them or not. So I most probably will be very silent myself. And anybody calls means I will go with them. But I won't call them with me. Because I always used to think that if I call means they will think wrong or something. Because of that I won't call anybody also. And most probably I want to buy few things. I want to explore all area also. But some of the shyness and feel guilty and some of, something in my mind and everything will be confused. So I am not able to do those things.

Band 6

The person that, the first person that I know is introvert is my sister. She is a really introverted person. She also checked her MBTI, that is Myers-Briggs personality test assessment which came out as INFP, that is an introvert who is perspective and emotional as well. I got to know her as she is my first person on my mother's side. She is a really close sister of mine. We share our concerns with each other over the phone every day. The reason why she hates going out is because she doesn't like the idea of people looking at her and her being the attention of the room. The center of attention brings out shyness in her. That is the reason why she doesn't like to talk with people and not go outside the house.

Band 6

I have a lot of friends and family in my mom's house who possess different personalities, some are introverts and some are ambiverts and some are extroverts too, but the person who is the most introvert person in the house is my father. I would call him an absolute introvert person because he doesn't like to talk to many people including his own children.

Band 6

Okay, the introvert person I wish to talk about is my mother. I am living with her since very young age and I have seen her being introvert in many situations like when we go to a hotel or when we go to a wedding function. She never asks someone for something which she needs. Even if it is like very necessary, she will request me or any of my relatives to get it done for her. And she is very secure to herself and reserved to herself that she never asks for anything to anybody. I feel this character to be a little disturbing as it doesn't give her much independence in this fast moving world. So I definitely feel she can improve a lot with this character and she can try to be more friendly and socialize with people in order to see the other side of the world.

Band 6

A really introvert person I know is Nisha and she was a classmate of mine for two years and I feel she is really introvert because she never talks or plays loudly and prefers books. We can call her a book nerd and she is also very smart. I always feel very bad for her and I also feel scared whenever I approach her because something which makes her feel insecure or maybe I can hurt her feelings easily because she is a very introvert person and she doesn't like forming a group like others and she doesn't like doing group tasks. She prefers doing it alone and she is very interested in the subject math. She is also very good at it. She scores high scores but she never likes telling the person her scores and she never talks with anybody. That's why I feel she is introvert.

Band 5

I know lots of person who has, I know lot of person who is introvert type and here I would like to talk about a person, a person whose name is Nitin. He is very, he is tall and he looks very handsome. Because I say as an introvert is that he is, I know him as before from my high schools. At that time he is not much attractive to the other students or talking which he will be around by his side. He is tall, he is talking, he is eating. He is getting, he will be feeling distracted after talking to a person. He feels discomfort so he will try to avoid from such situations. In his mind he always want to be alone in his own space. He is not talkative. Even the teachers ask questions, he will be kept silence or he will be looking downwards. So many of our students help him to recover, to communicate but you know they never work. On the other side, on the other side he will always communicate to a person who is his best friend. He is also, in both of them there is an equal area, equal area. In their own world they became extroverts. They try to play with both of them but during their class they are only attached to themselves. They will not talk too much and it's a very difficult path for the other students to attract to them. So I think this is the person that I know who has helped me. So that's all I want to say. Thank you.
