Things introverts are best at doing

10 Things Introverts are Best at Doing — All About Introverts

As an introvert, it’s far too easy to fixate on the things you wish you did better. When people talk about the differences between introverts and extroverts, they tend to focus on things our extroverted world considers strengths. These things, unfortunately, are often areas where introverts don’t measure up to what the world expects of them.

However, it’s important for introverts to see all the ways they contribute positively to relationships and the world around them. Introverts have many distinct strengths. Often these are things they do better than their extroverted counterparts.

In her book, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking, Susan Cain talks about the ways introverts help society’s progress. If you’re an introvert and haven’t read this book yet, we highly recommend it!

While Cain has her own insight into the strengths of introverts, we decided to compile our own list. The following are ten things introverts are best at doing.

1. Observation

Introverts are particularly great at observing the world around them. When they go places, they’re constantly observing their surroundings and the people they’re with. Because of this, they often notice things other people would miss.

For example, introverts spend so much time observing others that they’re usually the first ones to notice when something is different with a friend. This becomes a superpower of sorts, since it allows them to handle ever-changing interpersonal relationships.

This doesn’t just apply to observing patterns in people, though. Introverts tend to see the big picture when others are fixated on small details. They notice patterns and trends at work and in the world. This gives them the information and insight they need to be innovators in their field. By the time others notice a trend, they’ve often already come up with possible solutions.

Their observation skills lend to most of their other strengths. They are often good problem-solvers because they are constantly observing. They give great advice because they see things others don’t see. This talent is not just an isolated skill, but one that lends strength to all areas of their lives.

2. Deliberation

Introverts are great at deliberation. That means they rarely act impulsively (although they can sometimes act impulsively in small matters). They would rather think through all of the implications of a decision than act rashly and make a fool of themselves.

We talked to an extrovert who described her husband’s decision-making process: “He carefully thinks through every decision, where I just do things. If we go to the store to get milk, even though we always get 2% milk, it’s always a decision for him. Nothing is unintentional.”

While this particular introvert is on the extreme end of the spectrum, no one would accuse an introvert of being thoughtless or rash. Their strength for deliberation has proven to be an asset, so it’s an asset most introverts invest in improving.

Embarrassment is particularly painful for introverts. Since they hate the feeling of being embarrassed, they’ll work hard to make sure their decisions are carefully considered before acting. They deliberate the consequences of every word and action before they speak or act.

3. Independence

Introverts are great at doing things independently. While extroverted people get their energy from being around others, introverts get their energy from being alone. That means that activities and projects that require alone time are a lot easier for introverts.

We talk about this independence a lot in our article on the Top 20 Best Jobs for Introverts. Most of these jobs are things that require introverts to spend a significant amount of time alone, whether in their everyday work or in the education required to get to that career goal.

This is why introverts often enjoy hobbies like reading and writing. While extroverts may struggle engaging with an activity that requires them to be alone, introverts love hobbies that allow them to explore big ideas in isolation.

In their careers, introverts tend to do best on work they can complete alone. This makes them great employees who can be trusted to work independently, without micromanaging from an employer. People can trust them to pull their weight on projects, especially if they’re given the space to get things done alone.

4. Listening

An introvert’s ability to listen is one of their biggest strengths. They may have long periods where they’re quiet, but they’re more than happy listening to friends and family talk. Best of all, they aren’t just passive listeners. They’re actively listening to everything someone says instead of listening just enough to answer.

Most introverts have been complimented on their listening skills at one time or another. In elementary school, their parents probably heard that they were really good listeners (even if they weren’t very good at talking in front of others).

As adults, introverts’ listening skills gives them an edge in their interpersonal relationships. Friends and significant others often appreciate their willingness to lend a listening ear. After all, most people want to feel heard. Introverts are great at making sure people know they’re heard.

This is why many introverts thrive in jobs that involve a lot of listening. They make gifted therapists, guidance counselors, and clergy. While most would assume that a people-oriented profession would be better suited for an extrovert, an introvert’s listening skills are an asset in these careers.

5. Emotional Intelligence

Introverts typically have high levels of emotional intelligence. In their book Emotional Intelligence 2.0, authors Travis Bradberry and Jean Greaves explore four emotional intelligence skills people need to reach their full potential. These skills are self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management.

Introverts tend to do well in all these areas of emotional intelligence. To find out how you measure up, you can purchase the book and take the emotional intelligence assessment.

We talked to one introvert who took the assessment in one of her college classes. Each area is scored out of 100. Most of her classmates had scores in the mid-80s or lower. However, her self-management score was an impressive 92! While her classmates marveled at her high score, she knew it was largely because of her introverted personality.

Introverts are good at understanding their emotions and regulating their behavior. They’re also particularly skilled at reading other people, an emotional intelligence skill that serves them well in relationships.

Their self-awareness and empathy combine to make them some of the best family members, friends, and coworkers. Instead of saying or doing things in the heat of the moment, they’re more likely to make strong and emotionally intelligent decisions.

6. Counseling

Introverts aren’t just great at listening. They’re great at listening to what someone has to say and giving them great advice. This skill often makes them seem wise beyond their years. Even if they don’t go into professional counseling, they’re often the person their friends confide in and seek out for advice when life gets hard.

While many people listen to what you say in an attempt to formulate a response, introverts listen with the intention of understanding. Because of this, they don’t just listen to what you’re saying. They take note of the things you aren’t saying out loud.

This allows them to truly understand the intricacies of a situation. Their empathy helps them emotionally invest in another person’s situation. When they’re invested, they bring the same thoughtfulness to a friend’s decision that they’d bring to their own.

Their insight and advice make them particularly gifted in occupations as therapists and counselors. While the job of a counselor largely revolves around helping the client improve themselves, a well-timed bit of insight or advice is often the catalyst they need for positive change. Introverts are great at providing these nuggets of wisdom.

7. Conversation

The previous three strengths (listening, emotional intelligence, and counseling) all contribute to an introvert’s gift for conversation. In our extrovert-oriented world, an extrovert’s gift of gab is often valued more than an introvert’s quiet thoughtfulness.

While an extrovert’s magnetic personality may help them make a dazzling first impression, great conversation skills come more naturally to introverts. Healthy conversation cannot happen when both people are listening just enough to formulate their response.

Active listening is an important part of conversation. Without it, the other person may as well be talking to themselves. Emotional intelligence is needed to regulate responses and understand the other person’s motivations, two things that promote great conversation. An introvert’s proclivity for counseling allows them to contribute meaningfully to a conversation, instead of listening alone.

Introverts are great at having meaningful and thought-provoking conversations. They’ll happily surpass the small talk in favor of a deep conversation, making them great conversationalists!

8. Leadership

Introverts make the best leaders! In fact, we have an article with seven reasons why introverts make great leaders, which you can read here. They are great leaders because of all the strengths we’ve already mentioned on this list, plus many more.

When they lead, introverts are more likely to motivate their teams with their thoughtfulness, listening skills, and solid decision-making processes. Their humility and preparedness make them leaders people want to work with.

Although people often assume that leadership requires a loud personality, but successful long-term leadership requires the skills more often found in introverts. Since they process information and make thoughtful decisions based on the evidence in front of them, they’re more likely to lead their teams to success.

They’re also less likely to assume they know everything about a person. Since they know just how much of themselves remains unknown to others, they realize that people on their team may have skills that aren’t yet developed or utilized. They don’t just care about leading their team to success, but helping each person on their team reach their full potential.

9. Friendship

Introverts are the best at being good friends! Even though spending time with others uses their precious energy supply, they’re more than willing to sacrifice alone time when they see a friend in need. Their loyalty to their friends often takes priority over their own wants and needs.

They are not the type of friends to betray you. In fact, introverts are great at keeping secrets and remaining loyal, even when the other person has betrayed them.

This loyalty is one of their greatest strengths. After all, a person can reach their greatest potential when they have the love and support of others. While introverts take longer to open up and build strong connections, the connections they create are likely to last a lifetime.

We talked to an extrovert who had a falling out with her introverted college roommate. Years later, they reconnected and built a friendship stronger than the one they had before. When the extrovert was talking to a mutual friend of theirs, she was shocked to learn that her introverted roommate never said anything negative about her, despite the bad blood between them.

That’s just who introverts are. Even when they have negative feelings toward someone, they’re less likely to share those thoughts with others. Their loyalty is long-lasting, even in the face of a lost friendship.

10. Self-Care

Introverts are the kings and queens of self-care. They require plenty of time alone to recharge, since social interactions drain their energy. That means they’ve learned the best ways to make the most of their time alone.

No matter what their personal interests, they’re sure to know a trick or two about how to take care of yourself while stressed. Whether they’ve found the perfect blend of tea, the best scented candles, or the most relaxing hobbies, they know the secrets to self-care.

Best of all, they’re more than happy to share their experience and wisdom with friends and family! Ask any introvert what they do for self-care and they’ll likely have an answer. Self-care and introversion go hand-in-hand, making it one of the things they’re best at doing.

12 Things Introverts are the Best at Doing – Psych3Go

In this world run by “overly friendly people”, we silent types often feel misunderstood, discriminated, and ostracized. One of the downsides of introverts is not being known for certain tasks you are actually good at. Are you an introvert or know someone who is? Let’s have a look at some of these hidden but wonderful traits and characteristics…

1. Having thought-provoking conversations

They are often regarded as lacking in social skills due to their passive interpersonal relationships, this idea being supported by their disdain for small talk. However, introverts can give out highly intelligent and emotional dialogues about relevant topics. They have a guidance counselor’s charisma, enabling people to pour out much more of their thoughts with them than expected.

2. Being effective salespeople

What? An introvert excels at a profession that requires constant vis-a-vis interaction? Yes! Being good not at constant human interaction, but at familiarity with work elements makes a good salesperson. Being highly cognitive folks, introverts take time to understand fully their product, customer, and outcomes; and thus are highly prepared for any unexpected events, such as objections, crankiness, and touchy questions.

3. Taking care of animals

Be it as a vet or just a pet-sitter, introverts in general enjoy the company of animals more than they do with that of humans. They are emotionally active yet display such empathy only when it’s needed; otherwise they would be drained. Introverts easily understand animals’ feelings, and can soothe the most troubled pet with the correct non-verbal interactions. After all, no animal would trust someone noisy and unpredictable, right?

4. Being observant

What introvert takes leaps in the dark without knowing what’s around him first? They are usually the first people to notice anything out of the ordinary, or the flaws in ideas and concepts. Introverts prefer to analyze their surroundings rather than focus on biases, so that when they finally voice out their misgivings, these should be taken seriously.

5. Being great leaders

WE RULE!

This might be surprising, but introverts can manage a team just as effectively as extroverts. A poll shows that despite the bias, not all effective leaders are extroverts. Outgoing people can command a group with charisma and energy, while more reserved bosses coordinate teams through what they know: observe all elements and implement the best response. They are careful, attentive, humble, prepared, and are comfortable working alone, showing that good leadership isn’t always flashy.

6.

Being great workers (edited from followers per feedback)

Introverts give their whole heart to whatever activity is at hand. They enjoy performing one task for an extended period of time in a peaceful environment alone, while extroverts may shudder at this thought. Furthermore, they need little supervision, as they can be their own facilitators. This makes them effective followers as well, being dedicated to the completion of their responsibility provided their solitude is undisturbed.

7. Listening to your troubles

Need a shoulder to cry on, or just somebody to hear your story? Perhaps your reserved friend will do. Introverts hate trivial dialogues, but they will gladly give time to listen to other people’s stories, because they are very sensitive to others’ pain. They are good at engaging in an honest conversation, sharing compassion, and being by your side, if only you would let them.

8. Counseling

In addition to listening, introverts excel at helping you cope with your worries. They can easily read people; while others are just listening, an introvert analyzes and interprets the speaker’s thoughts, actions, choice of words, and preconceptions. Furthermore, calming someone down isn’t all about talking, it’s about understanding and making deep relationships built on trust, and being empathetic is what introverts do.

9. Thinking before acting

What’s more embarrassing than making a fool of yourself? Realizing that such shame wouldn’t have happened had you took time to analyze the situation and made the appropriate response. Introverts think before they speak, act, or decide. They ponder deeply the consequences of their actions, and they are usually the go-to person when someone is in need of advice. This leads to them being naturally observant.

10. Knowing themselves

We all know that quiet persons have the loudest minds. Aside from being silent critics, introverts are constantly having inner monologues, evaluating themselves and their choices in everyday situations. Thus they hardly have an existential crisis and can easily figure out their strengths and weaknesses. They know who they are, what they want, and what is important to them.

11. Being a source of wisdom

Introverts are by nature studious and lovers of information. They enjoy learning and discovering new things, and with their innate percipience, they can be like a human search engine. Not only that, they would be more than happy to share relevant information with you on many topics, and (again) give you good advice. Introverts may not show it, but they are very friendly and helpful.

12. Being a loyal friend

Introvert friends do not betray you. In fact, they don’t even joke about you behind your back nor in your presence. All your secrets, your passions, and your dreams are safe with them. Introverts may have few friends, but these kinships are deep, long-lasting, and sincerely cherished. They might not be much fun for you, but you will feel secure and genuinely loved if you befriended one.

Conclusion

What an amazing array of qualities for a wonderful friend! If you are an extrovert, don’t be hesitant to communicate with silent peers; you will be surprised at their abilities. If you are an introvert, be proud! You have nothing to feel inferior about, since behind that stillness lies a storm of talents.

Introverts are invaluable allies. Extroverts may run the world, but they can’t do it without our subtle assistance.

25 things only introverts will understand

March 25, 2021 Life

To determine your temperament, it is not necessary to pass psychological tests. You are prone to introversion if you notice these oddities in yourself.

1. You don't leave the apartment until the neighbor leaves

Situation: you hear that the neighbor's door opens in the hallway or on the landing. In order not to once again intersect with a person, you calm down and wait until he leaves. Yes, it's strange, but sometimes introverts hide from even the nicest people, just to avoid having to exchange a few words with them.

2. You are secretly glad that your friends canceled the meeting

In order not to be considered a hermit, sometimes you have to go out to meet with friends. But when the general plans are canceled, in your soul you rejoice: you can stay at home and not pretend to be a sociable type.

3. You feel awkward at a party

Despite the dislike for noisy companies, there are events that you cannot avoid: a corporate party, a friend's wedding or a New Year's feast with relatives. The first thought that visits you at any meeting is: “What am I doing here ?!”

4. The Internet is not just a hobby for you, but a way of life

It is much easier for introverts to put their thoughts on paper than to talk. It is difficult for you to communicate live, but in social networks you feel like a fish in water. In online correspondence, you can joke, and show off your mind, and leave a well-aimed comment.

5. You shy away from sales assistants while shopping

It's understandable: it's easier to find the right model and size yourself than to keep up a conversation with a stranger.

6. You try to be inconspicuous

You are not against communication, you are just not always ready for a conversation: it requires attitude and energy. In order to be less tired, introverts unconsciously limit themselves in communications, and in order to replenish their strength, they spend time alone.

In life, it manifests itself like this: you need to get something out of the refrigerator, and at this time your neighbor with a friend or parents with guests are sitting in the kitchen. The way out is to act like this guy from the gif:

7. Instead of a noisy company, you choose solitude

You are invited to spend the weekend together, and you say that you are very busy. Everyone understands that this is not so: in fact, you will stay at home and enjoy being alone. For introverts, this is the norm: they are not in a hurry to party and are able to enjoy the time spent alone with themselves.

8. You answer questions in monosyllables

What's new? and "How are you?" you try to answer as briefly as possible so that, God forbid, a conversation does not start. Small talk about anything is easy for extroverts, and introverts do not like this format of conversation.

9. You try to sneak out of the party

And try to do it as early as possible. You have an escape plan in reserve, for this you get to a meeting in your car. This is especially true for parties that you don’t want to go to in advance.

10. You rarely answer phone calls

By default, you do not answer calls from numbers you do not know, and prefer texting to a friend or colleague.

11. You like to go to the cinema alone

You enjoy watching a movie alone or with a loved one. Afternoon sessions on weekdays, morning sessions on weekends - you try to choose a time when the hall is almost empty. Together with you, there are 2-3 more people in the hall - the same introverts who avoid large crowds of people.

12. You pretend not to notice someone you know.

Situation: after work you went to the grocery store. Everything is going well until you notice a friend between the rows of buckwheat and pasta. Your standard reaction is to turn away and quickly leave before he sees you.

13. Never open the door if you are not expecting guests

Why? You never know: a too friendly neighbor came for salt and will complain about the management company for 15 minutes, or the manager of an Internet company obsessively asks you to connect their new tariff.

14. Are you afraid to be alone with strangers

Maintain a conversation with a person you see for the first time? Never! This is what you look like when your friends leave you for a few minutes alone with their acquaintances:

15. Never order over the phone when you can online

Why call when you can write?

16. You don't know how to behave when people sing you the song "Happy birthday to you!"

You feel awkward and uncomfortable around people. Birthday becomes a special torture: you are talked to more than usual and paid too much attention. I want to hide under the table or run away!

17. Try to solve work issues through correspondence

While colleagues annoy you with phone calls, you prefer to solve everything by correspondence. Working in open space becomes a real tragedy: the noise and people around paralyze your work. "Please, can we have a quiet place?" - you think in especially difficult days.

18. Don't like to keep up a conversation with a stranger

You wish you could be invisible when someone in a bar or on an airplane starts talking to you. “Don’t start a conversation with me just because we are sitting next to each other,” you mentally tell your interlocutor. It's not that introverts do not like people and live communication. They are simply not ready to carry on a conversation with a stranger: this causes terrible discomfort.

19. An ideal day on the beach for you is a day on a completely empty beach.

Any person has such thoughts from time to time, especially when the beach is crowded, and you can safely swim only 50 meters from the shore. But for introverts, such a desire appears much more often: an empty beach is more comfortable for them by default than a crowded one.

20. You like to train alone

You hate personal trainers, group classes and chatters during sports because training time is your personal time. No joint runs and jokes with a trainer in the gym - why, when you can be alone with your thoughts and listen to your favorite tracks?

21. You don't reply to messages right away

Before you write a reply, you need to think about the content of the letter. Sometimes you completely forget to answer, and then justify yourself, coming up with stupid excuses.

22. You are not happy to meet new people

Even the very thought that you will have to meet new people is terrifying. This does not mean that you do not know how to make friends, it just makes it difficult for you to meet new people.

23. You shy away from too friendly acquaintances

Every time someone violates your personal space, you have an irresistible desire to disappear into thin air, disappear, run away, or give a good blow to the person who came to hug you.

24. You don't like large crowds

Concerts, parties, pub quizzes or work conferences make you feel uncomfortable and vulnerable. You, of course, do not panic, but subconsciously dream of leaving this place as soon as possible.

25. You are not a misanthrope, you are an introvert

You love people and understand the value of human communication, so you quite consciously go out to parties and social events. But you are more comfortable alone with yourself: you value the time you spend alone or with loved ones.

Things that introverts do better than extroverts | Secrets of psychology. Notes from a Professional Psychotherapist

Things that introverts do better than extroverts

If you don't personally know or bond with introverts, you may think they are asocial, withdrawn, and even rude. But it's not.

Although an introvert's excessive shyness may make it difficult to get to know him, this is nothing more than a door that you must figure out how to open. Or rather, wait to be invited in.

Acquaintance with an introvert is undoubtedly a slower process than with a confident and outspoken extrovert. They cannot be forced to open. And trust must be earned, not just given.

Bringing an introvert to any social events will be embarrassing (if they will be entertained at all). And there will be times when an introvert will choose to just switch off completely, which is not a bad thing at all and maybe we should all do it more often.

In fact, these seemingly shy friends and colleagues have many good habits or traits to learn from. There are things that introverts do better than extroverts. Below are nine fantastic qualities of introverts.

1. Introverts make the most wonderful friends.

Although it is sometimes difficult to get close to an introvert, once a friendship is formed, his affection is like no other.

Introverts tend to avoid large groups, preferring quality over quantity. And so they will put more time and effort into becoming that friend you've always dreamed of. They will know not only your name and birthday, but also your hatred of pets, your favorite movies and comfort food when life fails you.

Being friends with an introvert means you will never feel alone. They are reliable, caring and show the most empathy due to their ability to put themselves in your shoes.

When an introvert says that he understands, there is a chance that he really understands. And just like that, when they say they will be by your side, they will.

2. Introverts are active listeners.

Since social situations are often uncomfortable and, in turn, exhausting, more relaxed participation in conversation provides much greater happiness.

They are more likely to prefer deep conversations to mindless chatter. And so, unlike people who seem to withdraw into themselves in the middle of a conversation, introverts will actively listen until you have said everything you wanted to say.

To tune in not just to the words, but to the whole conversation as a whole, no matter how long or chaotic it may be, is second nature to an introvert.

They will always try to understand the problem, respect other opinions and show support, being the kind of person you can always talk to.

3. Introverts have a natural ability to read emotions.

Along with the ability to listen, they perceive facial expressions and body language more easily than extroverts.

We all struggle to find the right words from time to time. Or we try to hide our feelings. But your introvert friend really understands how you feel, even if you haven't told him yet.

They will hear the trembling notes in your voice and know when something is not quite right. Or they will notice that it is difficult for you to sit still and realize that you have more on your mind than you think.

Their emotional intelligence makes the introvert more understanding and sympathetic. And knowing this, it will be easier for you to speak openly about any situation that you may have.

4. Introverts are great at keeping secrets.

You can be sure that whatever you tell your introverted friend or partner will go no further.

They understand the importance of trust because it is something they deal with on a daily basis. And, most likely, they will appreciate the fact that you chose them to share something so important with them.

Know that the friendship you build with them will take time. But the boundaries in it will be respected from the first day. Their promise not to discuss your personal matters with other people comes from the heart. And this should be met with the same respect for conversations between you.

While an introvert may advise you to talk to someone who can offer more help, know that it will always be on your terms and they only want to support you in the end.

5. Introverts are born observers.

Being more reserved and not inclined to engage in conversation, they have all the time in the world to pay close attention to what is going on around them.

Observing people is a skill that many introverts have. And not in vain. This allows them to pay attention not only to what was said, but also to the setting in which it was said. They are well prepared to put all the details together, even if some of them may be left out. In situations like watching a couple sitting across the park, an introvert will fill in the gaps without even hearing the conversation. They may even go so far as to mentally retell the scene.

While some people may find introverts boring or dull, their view of the world is quite the opposite. For them, it's the little details that tell the story and make the world richer.

6. Introverts are experts at problem solving.

Due to their keen attention to detail and ability to process information internally, little escapes the inquisitive mind of an introvert.

They are often ten steps ahead of their extrovert colleagues and are already working through the pitfalls of any plan. This makes introverts invaluable in the workplace.

Working alone is natural. And this makes it possible to carefully study any situation, identify all problems and develop a plan to solve them.

These problem-solving skills give them a huge advantage over their extroverted counterparts who bulldoze into work without seeing the big picture. Or, more importantly, small details.

7. Compassionate leaders are made from introverts.

Their ability to listen means they really understand what people need. Where possible, they will make changes or adapt working methods. And in doing so, they help the people who depend on them to prosper.

Without the need for small talk, introverts have more time to plan and set projects in motion. Their calmness brings clarity to any situation, which can create the perfect atmosphere in the workplace.

Employees avoid the pressure that extroverted leaders often put on them. They feel more valued with an introverted boss who is willing to listen to their ideas and help them achieve their goals. In return, they become committed to both the work and the team.

8. Introverts are masters of self-care.

This doesn't mean that life doesn't get hectic at times. But they recognize these early signs and know exactly how to recharge their batteries.

The calmness of introverts brings clarity to any situation, which can create an ideal atmosphere in the workplace.

Unlike a beefy extrovert, an introvert likes to sit back and relax. Get to the end of the week and say "enough" before you completely black out. And therefore, they are much less likely to feel burnt out.

A quiet day or two allows everyone, but especially introverts, to reconnect with themselves. And restore emotional balance before facing the world again.

9. Introverts do not seek approval from others.

They do not need any form of external approval. Instead, they trust their own judgment, which makes sense.

Since they prefer to spend at least part of their time alone, the idea of seeking approval from an external source seems unnecessary to them.
