How To Analyze People Analyzing The Introvert

By Jason Browne

Become an expert at reading people and analyzing their behavior without having to spend years studying for a psychology degree.

 

Do you often find yourself feeling completely drained of energy after spending a few hours with friends, needing to isolate yourself in order to 'recharge your batteries' before socializing again?

 

Have you ever met someone who was quiet and difficult to genuinely get to know, leaving you to wonder what goes on in their brain and why they act the way they do?

 

Does human behavior and psychology fascinate you to the point where, whenever you do some people-watching, you find yourself analyzing other's actions or reactions in the few moments you observe them?

 

Humans are diverse. Humans are puzzling. But humans can also be easily deciphered… if you have the appropriate knowledge, of course.

By devoting your time to understanding the introvert, you will find yourself one step closer to piecing together the wonders of the human brain.

 

In How to Analyze People, here is just a fraction of what you will discover:

 

• The top 14 signs of an introverted personality, including why introversion doesn't automatically mean you are shy (there's a considerable difference!)
• How introverts should manage their time and energy to get the most out of their day, serving as the solution to a major issue they constantly have to cope with
• A breakdown of the well-known personality test commonly used today, as well as how knowing your type can help you better understand your actions, thoughts, and needs for future insight
• 9 common struggles almost all introverts have to deal with, and why they shouldn't feel guilty or ashamed of being who they are
• The 3 dangerous culprits notorious for draining the life out of introverts, and what you can do to counter the unwanted side effects
• The secret to surviving in an extrovert's world, making social gatherings and meeting new people significantly less stressful and nerve-wracking--who knows, you may even begin to find it kind of fun!
• A peek inside the inner workings of an introverted mind, and how you can utilize your heightened thinking powers for your own benefit

 

And much more.

 

By spending the time to better understand the various types of personalities you may find in people, including yourself, you gain an important life skill that is essential in recognizing how to treat others, as well as how to encourage an enjoyable and pleasant atmosphere for all.

 

As a bonus, this knowledge will also allow you to discover how you can help others become the best version of themselves, not to mention yourself as well.

 

If you or someone you know is struggling with the negative aspects commonly associated with introversion, knowing how to properly cater to your emotional needs is what it takes to harness everything wonderful your personality has to offer you.

 

Don't hold yourself back from gaining the awareness and expertise needed in order to better understand others, whether it be the person you're seeing, your best friend, or even the quiet colleague at work.

 

A little awareness can go a long way...

Introduction

I-N-T-R-O-V-E-R-T. This is definitely one of the most misunderstood terms today. Ever seen captions on twitter like #IntrovertLife #TeamIntrovert? No? Okay. I'll give the basic definition of the word 'Introvert' before we proceed. 

Basically, an introvert is a person who is simply exhausted by the idea of mentally overly stimulating situations. If you get tired thinking about that frat party you promised to attend, you're probably introverted. 

It is completely normal to want peace and quiet a lot. We live in a time when everything is screaming for our attention. Way too many bright billboards. Way too many pop ups. Way too many social media notifications. Way too many emails. Way too much info. Way too much action going on. Way too much, I tell you! So it would honestly not be unreasonable to just want to unplug yourself from all that way-too-muchness and just recharge! 

These days, introversion is usually frowned upon, seeing how extroversion is considered the norm and even superior. The popular kids at school are never introverts, right? At least, not according to the movies.

Unfortunately, it's become a popular notion that introversion is wrong, or that you can't get ahead in life and relationships as an introvert. Why are you so quiet? they ask you, as if it's such a bad thing.

It's so bad that some introverts go to great lengths to be cured and made normal. I know I used to think there was something wrong with me too! As a kid, it was really difficult for me, being the quiet one in gatherings, lost in my thoughts. I'm sure you understand what that feels like, or you've met someone who sounds a lot like this. You're reading this book, aren't you?

Some parents have no idea that their children are introverts. Among the ones that are aware, a handful don't understand introversion enough to raise their kids in love and acceptance. There are lots of people who are missing out on potentially awesome friendships and relationships, because they just don't get that one introverted person. Worst of all, there are introverts beating up on themselves, because they think there's something wrong with them. 

I used to be that person. This is why I'm writing this book.

I want introverts to get to understand, know, love, and accept themselves fully. I want them to learn to accept themselves, and to trust that they don't have to pretend to be what they're not, for their tribe to love and accept them, too. I also want people to really get to understand just how amazing it is to connect with an introvert. We make some of the best friends and partners! If only others would see past the stereotype.

You see, there is a lot more to being an introvert than the stereotypical solitude and awkwardness. Think of it like a coin, with introversion on one side, and extroversion on the other.  One side doesn't make the other any less a part of the coin, right?

Despite what your teachers, friends, or parents might have told you about introverts, there is absolutely nothing wrong with them. It isn't some kind of disability. Hell, some people even know more introverts than they are aware of. No surprise there. 

Introvert awareness is becoming more popular, and people are slowly accepting and understanding the way of the introvert. However, we need to know exactly what an introvert is and isn't. 

So in this book, I'm going to talk about all the traits that make up your friendly neighborhood introvert! Just keep in mind that not all introverts are the same. There isn't a general rule per se, but there are some characteristics different kinds of introverts share. 

The introverted mind is riddled with twists and turns that would be easily understood by most people if introversion weren't treated as some kind of mental disorder. Here, I will take you on a journey into the mind of the introvert. If you're an introvert, you'll learn some fascinating things about yourself that you probably never realized.

And above all else, I'll show you how to shine in your introversion. Yes, you absolutely can. Shining and introversion aren't mutually exclusive.

You ready? Okay then. Take my hand. Let's go!

Chapter 1: Who Is an Introvert?

Perhaps the first thing to do before understanding what an introvert is, is to fully understand where the idea and word originated, and how it spread to different parts of the world. 

Introversion as a theory hasn't been around long. I mean, I'm sure there are a lot of introverts from way back before anybody even knew what to call them, but theories about it started developing over about a century ago. 

The Gist

A Swiss psychoanalyst named Carl Jung took his time to study individuals and how they behaved and communicated in their environment. Jung believed that the human personality is based on four major conditions:

●  How we process information 

●  How we make decisions 

●  Structure 

●  Whether or not we'd rather be in our inside world or the outside world. 

Most people have always assumed being an introvert is some kind of social choice, like picking which outfit to wear to the club on Friday, or trying to decide on what to have for lunch. Jung didn't think so. He said it is more like
