The Introvert’s: Surviving the Social Wilderness

By Salvador Alcaraz

Why do opposites attract? This fact just seems to make it even more challenging to build and maintain a loving relationship. Or we could see it as being a challenge. Either way, the yin-yang thing is going on when it comes to introverts and extroverts in relationships. But why does it happen and why is it a good thing? Why Opposite Personalities Attract Complete each other - She zips while he zags. We are usually attracted to someone for the same reasons they can drive us nuts later - because they are different than us. It's exciting when we can step into their world and live a little differently than normal; we get to experience how the "other half" lives this way. Together, introverts and extroverts complete a balance that otherwise they wouldn't have. Move out of comfort zones - When you are opposites, to be happy, you must compromise on activities and a myriad of other things. This truth nudges us out of our comfort zones from time to time so that we can grow as people and more balanced people at that. It's completely natural for an introvert to be attracted to an extrovert and visa verse. It's nature's way of completing a balanced and dynamic union. But that doesn't always make it easy. There are definitely things that must be maneuvered through when one loves someone of the "opposite persuasion." That is what we are going to dive into here. We're going to look at specific ways you and your extrovert can peacefully create a loving, beautiful relationship.
