You pretty much hit the nail on the head with this article!
I am also an introvert and can relate to all of this. I have a handful of friends and they always come to me for advice about any number of things. We can see through the clutter and give them straight answers.
I think we are also good at seeing through the deceptions of other people and their "nature."
It's strange, but when I was just a kid, I always thought it was my obligation to learn as much as I could about everything.

Thanks for sharing!

....upvoted and resteemed, my friend!

Introverts tend  to find their satisfaction and place in the world by looking inward. Extroverts get theirs in external events. As an introvert myself, I could never understand the need for the outsidedness, even when I would sometimes envy the extroverts. 

As I considered the feelings of envy, I realized it was less the envy and more the way society seems the put more value on extroverts.

Does anyone else feel this way?

For me, number four is very important. I see people knowing and greeting so many people and i am wondering how well they know them? Which are their friends and which just acquaintances?

I don't judge them based on that but i am really curious when i see things like that.

Anyway i think internet is a place full of introverts with lot of interesting things to read/create etc and it definitely not the same as anti-social.

I totally agree with you.. in addition to all that, I don't find sincere the people who have a plenty of friends and always go out or meet with different groups. I see these people like escaping from themselves or loneliness. A person should firstly spend the time with himself.

I want to address these one by one 1) It is great to be alone-  So true.   Growing up my grandma said your are your own best company.   She was right.  2) It is ok to take your time.  As I still possess those Introvert qualities I get it.  I find in decision making I stick with my decisions when well thought out through time.   The right decision made is more important than how long it takes.  I gel hell for this  by panthers (personalities) but I do not care.   it is a quality of the OWL type of personality.  It is also resourceful in analyzing your information and any intellectual intercourse that is necessary.   3)  It pays to listen - we were born with two eyes, two ears and only one mouth.   I think whoever made us was tying to tell us something.   Yes better communication happens when you listen rather than talk.   More people should try it.  The world would be a better place.   The introvert is light years ahead of other personality types on this one. Intellectual is at its peak or climax when listening skills are incorporated.  4) A small circle of friends is best. - So true.   It is less stressful and lower maintenance.  i would rather have a few select friends that I can hang with than a whole bunch of fair weather friends.    Great subject and post my friend!

I am an introvert (and homebody) and really have no girlfriends. Which is fine. 
I prefer time alone, or spent with my husband.

But when I do get together at a social gathering, you are correct, I do listen intently. Sometimes it is nice to have social interaction, but when I get too overwhelmed, I become that proverbial wallflower.

One of the best things about

To change the world one has to start within

wow it felt like i was just reading a post totally describing me, though instead of all the negativitys i think of myself and my behavior i guess it totally encouraged me that not all introverts are bad , theres some quality in them that they can experience and feel themselves and i guess it just makes them more in sync with theirself being alone etc.

Most great people have been introverts. There is no other way to be for fornthise outside 3 standard deviations from the mean. Being an introvert has a negative connotation in the society. What society fails to understand is that introverts are connected to things that the simple minded cannot connect to.

good post back vote please

The last two are the best in my opinion.  Too many people get caught up in talking instead of listening and they miss out on the opportunity to learn.

Having a small circle of friends is better in my opinion too.  It is hard to have a ton of true friends so if you have a big circle I think its hard for them all to be loyal.

Great post, I am following you now!

Wow, I am almost in shock. My last post has a photo-cover so similar as yours. Just as a curious coincidence.

Cheers.

I have been through 3rd point and it pays off. I enjoyed listening more now.

@sauravrungta You are an amazing man my friend ! Life is one big lesson we need to go through, all on our own paths. 

I loved your article and I wish you all the best of lessons and the best of life. 

Introverts are so misunderstood. I LOVE my alone time. I think it is an advantage to be able to be with others AND to be comfortable alone. I have met people who cannot EVER be alone and that seems sad to me. Of course, those same people are very entertaining but they need an audience.

Great post @sauravrungta!
