The Surprising Benefits of Being an Introvert

There are a lot of misconceptions about introverts — like that they’re antisocial, unfriendly, shy or lonely. But in many cases, being an introvert can actually be an asset. While we’re all often flooded with messages that we need to speak up and stand out in order to be successful, introverts can actually achieve even more if they hone their natural strengths. It’s not about becoming a fake extrovert. It’s really about acknowledging the valuable traits that introverts bring. Here are some of the benefits of being an introvert:


They’re observant
The typical introvert also uses his or her observant nature to read the room. They’re more likely to notice people’s body language and facial expressions, which makes them better at interpersonal communication. Introverts can tell when a person is thinking, processing and observing, and then give them the space to do so, which makes people feel much more comfortable.


They make quality friends
Since introverts can feel their energy being drained by being around other people — as opposed to extroverts, who gain energy from being with others— introverts choose their friends wisely. They would rather have a few close, trusted friendships to invest their time and energy in, as opposed to a large network of acquaintances.


They make loving romantic partners
The same qualities that make introverts great listeners also make them great partners. At the end of a long day, they’re there to listen and support their partner without feeling compelled to talk about themselves.


They’re compassionate leaders
Introverts can make the best leaders — when they channel their natural strengths. For starters, they don’t feel the need to step into the spotlight and take all of the credit for group successes; rather, they are likely to highlight the strengths of their teams.
