There has been a huge decline in mental health around the world, which is why we are so committed to creating more content than we ever have. Thanks for being part of our journey.
0:11 → 0:18
Do you ever notice your classmate or a co-worker who does not seem to talk much but when they do, they always have something interesting to contribute?
0:18 → 0:24
Or maybe you're the type to be more silent but have tons of thoughts constantly running through your head.
0:24 → 0:30
One thing is for certain, if you think Netflix has too many shows, try looking inside an introvert's brain.
0:30 → 0:34
There is always a steady stream of thoughts running through their minds.
0:34 → 0:40
Introverts are introspective in their thinking and focus on internal thoughts, feelings, and moods.
0:40 → 0:47
Are you curious what these thoughts may be? Here are a list of five things introverts think but never say.
0:47 → 0:52
1. I don't always want to hang out, but I still want to be invited.
0:52 → 0:59
Have you ever felt so drained once you reach the weekend that you decided to spend your solitary time at home to recharge.
0:59 → 1:06
It's been a hectic week and all you wanna do is retreat into a shell and read that new book you just bought the other day.
1:06 → 1:12
However, you heard that your friends had made plans. You may not want to go, but you still want to be invited.
1:12 → 1:19
For introverts, time alone is essential. The conflict in their lives is between wanting to be invited to things but not wanting to go.
1:19 → 1:23
2. would they think I'm boring and uninteresting?
1:24 → 1:27
Do you ever think that you are uninteresting to others?
1:27 → 1:34
Perhaps you're fond of enjoying your own time sipping tea in an isolated place while creating imaginary worlds in your mind.
1:34 → 1:42
Introverts are usually quiet around people they don't know very well. They might be afraid of what the person might think of them or what they say.
1:42 → 1:48
Combine this with their dislike for small talk, some people may view introverts as uninteresting.
1:48 → 1:53
However, when introverts find an interesting topic to talk about, they can ramble on for hours.
1:53 → 1:57
3. is it ok if I'm not saying too much?
1:57 → 2:02
Have you ever been in a conversation and worried about how the other person perceives you?
2:02 → 2:13
Perhaps you're on a date and you're more comfortable being the one to ask a few questions and listen to your date talking and then it occurs to you, is it ok if I'm not saying too much?
2:13 → 2:19
You know you're entirely invested in the person in front of you, but you're not sure if they're aware of that.
2:19 → 2:29
People with introverted personalities often observe things while thinking in their heads constantly. Apart from that, introverts thrive in silence.
2:29 → 2:33
4. is it obvious that I sometimes ignore my calls and messages?
2:34 → 2:41
Do you become anxious when your phone is ringing? Calls demand immediate attention and distract you from the task at hand.
2:41 → 2:45
Even if someone they like calls, introverts may not answer.
2:45 → 2:51
Introverts might also greatly appreciate if the person who wants to call them schedules the call over text.
2:51 → 2:57
This way, they can look forward to talking with the person and avoid the dread that always comes with the surprise of a phone ringing.
2:58 → 3:02
5. I hope they cancel our plans so that I don't have to go.
3:02 → 3:07
Have you ever received an invitation from your friend to hang out but you secretly wish for them to cancel the plans?
3:07 → 3:11
When plans are canceled, you feel free.
3:11 → 3:20
Sometimes, introverts tend to say yes to every plan and go out of their way to see people, even if these activities leave them feeling depleted.
3:20 → 3:26
So when their friends cancel plans, they feel relieved because they don't want to make their friends feel bad when they cancel the plans themselves.
3:26 → 3:35
There are various types of introverts and not all of them are the same. Everyone has unique personality traits and no one fits into a single category or box.
3:35 → 3:41
But hopefully this video gives you a better understanding of how people with introverted personality types think, act, and feel.
3:41 → 3:43
