Being an introvert doesn't mean quietness, so ask yourself why you're always quiet. In the right clique, born introverts are very loud and talks more. Born introvert extremely love and enjoy being alone in a very quiet environment. Rather than watching films, they prefer to learn something new, thank to phone and Internet. They mostly see things differently and prefer not to argue if you don't understand or see what they see. Their mental and analytical mind is very sound which inturn make them to be more introverted because people only strike a formal discussion/conversation with them because of their sharp analytical mind. Hence, they end-up with serious friends and not extroverts who might influence their behavior atleast alittle. Large percent and not all though. 23 Likes 1 Share |

Introverts are born, since I was little I've always been quiet and calm. Everyone used to tease me about being the quiet one in the group Till today I still behave that way,people see being alone as a bad thing or boring thing but to me it's Life as I've always known it. It's just that this days,people see introversion as a trend/flex and this is mostly by extroverted people claiming to be introverts 10 Likes |

I've been introverted since I was born. I only got to really know what it's all about 10 years ago. It's sometimes difficult living with extroverts. I don't enjoy loudness. I always find time to withdraw and have a lonely time just to recharge myself. It's possible that some introverts are made. For me, I've noticed the trait in my family. I have a cousin who will past me without any greetings and you can find him the next minute posting my picture on his status "Big bro". I'm still struggling seriously with introversion. At work, they say you should make yourself 'visible'. For me, it takes a long time to know many people. For extroverts, they can know everyone in the organization in 1 week. Again, i tend to suffer from imposter syndrome which is a phenomenon where you feel it wasn't your efforts, but luck, which made get some achievements. I will recommend a good book about introversion : Quiet by Susan Cain. As an introvert, it is a must-read for you 11 Likes 2 Shares |

Hmmm I am of the opinion that introverts are made not born I don't believe introversion is a basic gene thing which can be passed i see it as more of a behavioral pattern of a child in response to its environment.I like to think of a new born as a clean slate with all personalities dormant , now the environment he or she grows up in will determine the personality that will foster.If a child grows up in a family home where there are always visitors and friends around he or she will grow up as an extrovert and vice versa. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Being introvert is a result of low self esteem, cluelessness or wisdom. People with wisdom rarely talk anyhow, they mind their businesses and always think deeply before they speak. People with low self esteem too are mostly introverts, they avoid public or associate with people. Most clueless people too are introverts. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Well, there are two ways to it. There are natural born introverts and there are circumstantial introverts. When you don't have money in your pocket, you compulsorily become an introvert: that's circumstantial introversion" 3 Likes |

Recent studies have shown that there's nothing like introversion or extroversion. In fact they are illusions created in an attempt to understand human behavior. All humans are capable of expressing both introversion and extroversion. But not at the same time. Certain situations and factors at any point in time determine if one should act as an introvert or as an extrovert. Given the right conditions, even the worst "introvert" will act as an extrovert and given the right conditions, the worst "extrovert" will act as an introvert...... 4 Likes |

YoungBlackRico:When you see comments such as the one you quoted, you know it can only come from an extrovert. Of course, their thought process can be very flippant and shallow a lot of times. An introvert would process his/her thoughts better! You know my biggest problem with extroverts? They think it's wrong for everyone else to not be extroverted as they are! 11 Likes 1 Share |

Thank you for sharing, increases my understanding, that introversion could be varying and may depend on circumstances, such as health, beliefs, or may arise due to the lack of communicating or expressing certain needs, or maybe the perception that others do not listen, and the inability to participate. I myself i choose introversion, because i deem it useful as a protective mechanism for observing others, and sometimes may deem it unnecessary to interact because it could be draining on the psych. But its not necessarily so that i am an introvert, but i have found introversion to be the key to unlocking my growth, it helps me to listen more and there is a certain time in our lives, we could decide its useful, its not necessarily so for every person, since some have the tendency of occupying and spontaneity. And it also a matter of trusting oneself, and due to learned experiences. I dont know the answer either, its clear i need more understanding, to reach a satisfactory conclusion, one has to examine both extroverts and introverts from birth to old age to see how this personalities develop and vary across time, or at least understand the factors that influences this traits, but maybe its both or either or a mix, that introverts or extroverts are born or made. Not excluding the complexity of human thinking, our thought processes may vary with great margins, not similar or very heterogenous. Then our biological makeup, and compositions also influences our capacities and approach. Therefore Introverts and extroverts are useful according to the makeup of the person and what works for that person. For me introversion works for me, it helps me to observe myself, and others, and then it helps me to see ahead, to ask myself questions and to find answers, resulting in growth and improvements and even more solidification in confidence, if i were to be an extroverts maybe i will become rather impulsive, and not accountable and shallow. Extroversion helps me forget the world and just be spontaneous when i choose it. My compositions resonates with introversion. Qinglong: |

Re: Are Introverts Born Or Made? by PoliteActivist: 3:30pm On Jun 12, 2022 |
ashewoboy: You have to first define "introvert". Is someone who is very comfortable speaking to large groups or same sex but very shy one-on-one or with opposite sex introvert? Then vise versa. I think vast majority of people are "bi-trovert" - it depends on who, where, when, and what they are dealing with |
