INTROVERTED Meaning and Definition

1. Introverted is an adjective used to describe a person who tends to be more inward-focused and reserved in social situations. It is the opposite of extroverted, and introverts typically derive their energy from within rather than seeking external stimulation. An introverted individual is often reflective and introspective, preferring to spend time alone or in small groups rather than large gatherings.

   Introverts usually find solitary activities more fulfilling and rejuvenating, such as reading, writing, or engaging in a hobby they enjoy. They may also possess a preference for listening rather than speaking in conversations, taking time to carefully consider their thoughts before expressing them aloud. As a result, introverts are often perceived as quiet, thoughtful, and observant.

   While being introverted does not necessarily imply social anxiety or shyness, introverts may feel more drained after extended periods of social interaction and typically require time alone to recharge. They often have a smaller circle of close friends and value deep, meaningful connections over a large network of acquaintances. Though they may be less inclined to seek out social experiences, introverts can still be sociable and enjoy the company of others, but they require a balance between socializing and personal space to thrive and feel at their best.
