This was a great article. I’m grateful that it mentioned that no one fits perfectly in one category. This helped a lot and brought clarity to a few questions I had!

Finally an honest article on some difficult stuff with introverts. Nice work
I always smile each time i see an articel about the advantages of dating an introvert. And trust me, they are more of such articles than on the disadvantages. I think is because the many people, who know that such relationships are difficult, try to convince them selves or others.
Have you ever looked at all the ADVANTAGES of having an intro? 80% of them spin around (listening to partner, deep conversations and qualitytime/reflection). Now look at the DISADVANTAGES (they are slow, dont initiat; very passive, hardly express emotions, hardly open up, have to pull everything out of them, their socializinging skills are poor, dont know how to small talk, mostly alone, not spontaneous, have to sleep on every small decision, very low self esteem/confidence, always in their heads, very sensitive (can be positive or negative), cant really multitast, have to concerntrate on one thing or they soon feel over tasked, you have to mystically understand them, without hem openning their mouths) these are spread acrossed many different life directions/situations and am talking about the Cons and Pros at HOME not work place. Now tell me, what is good for a relationship to work??
It takes hardwork to be with an introvert, especially if u are not one.
I have been for 4 yrs with an introverted female. I am ambiverted, so inbetween. This have been the hardest relationship in my life so far. I am 31 now, she 30. And i adore her, but its just so difficult and drains my energy. Its like i literally have to have energy for 2 people. Above all, i have to pull every emotion from her. There is a difference between knowing someone loves u, and expirecing emotions of love from someone. i the first case, i really have to search my brain and convince my self she loves me, even if shes not showing it cuz shes introverted. and the more you figth to get her attention, the more you sink in to love with her.

Thank you, this validates me and I don’t feel wrong for it. A lot of people completely misunderstand me, taking me at face value, when I know there are always more reasons for my actions than people see. I’ts actually quite simple though-don’t crowd me and we’re good. My girlfriend has a hard time accepting the fact that I need time alone to regroup, she sees it as a an insult to her but that’s the way I’ve always been. I feel much refreshed when given space as long as I don’t have to be blunt to get it ’cause that never comes out right! People are generallly very draining without meaning to be and/or I am not able to effectively shield myself from being drained.

In reply to Matt. Me too! Especially with the sense of peace...If I'd rather spend my day reading a book, that's ok.
