Medical Video: 10 Things Only INTROVERTS Would Understand
Personality is a characteristic or character that is shown by someone, which is usually manifested in the form of attitudes and behavior. Personality is part of what makes you yourself and has an influence on your life, including language and behavior. The two types of personality that are commonly owned are introvert and extrovert personality.
Everyone is not 100 percent introverted or 100 percent extroverted, because there is a personality that is more dominant among introverts and extroverts. That personality is ultimately more visible in the form of a person's attitude or behavior.
What distinguishes introverts and extroverts?
The two main differences between introverts and extroverts are how they process something they see, hear, and feel. An introvert tends to process something internally, by thinking before speaking. Meanwhile, an extrovert tends to process things externally, works best by talking to convey ideas with others.
The study found that introverts had more blood flow in the frontal lobe, the area of the brain involved by remembering events, making plans, and solving problems. While extroverts have more blood flow in the area of the brain involved with driving, listening, and paying attention.
The attitude of openness possessed by extrovert often makes others around him think that extroverts are someone who is expressive, caring, and narcissistic. However, is this presumption correct?
The wrong myth about extroverts
Here are some myths or misconceptions about extroverts that you need to know:
Myth 1: Extroverts are never sad
Extrovert's attitude that is always cheerful seems to indicate that they are individuals who are always happy and never sad. But like ordinary people, extroverts can also feel sad or lose self-confidence, especially when they don't have enough interaction with the people around them.
Myth 2: Extroverts are selfish individuals
Extroverts are often seen as individuals who always want to be heard and do not care about others. Even though, like introverts, extroverts can also show concern for others.
Introverts may seem more attentive because they can be good listeners by paying attention and being quiet. But extroverts can also be good listeners by asking open questions.
Extroverts can also be people who care about their surroundings, even though they are different from introverts. Extroverts who talk a lot, can think that someone who is silent may be sad. For this reason, extroverts will make jokes to make other people unhappy, even though this sometimes makes others think that it is disturbing.
Myth 3: Extrovert doesn't like solitude
Just like introverts, extroverts still need their own time to recharge their enthusiasm, motivation and mood. Perhaps the difference is, introverts prefer a quiet place to really fill their own time, like in the bedroom. While extroverts fill their own time in crowded places, such as cafes and malls.
