10 Myths/Facts About Introverts

Myth #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk. This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days.

Myth #2 – Introverts are shy. Shyness has nothing to do with being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they need is a reason to interact. They don’t interact for the sake of interacting. If you want to talk to an Introvert, just start talking. Don’t worry about being polite.

Myth #3 – Introverts are rude. Introverts often don’t see a reason for beating around the bush with social pleasantries. They want everyone to just be real and honest. Unfortunately, this is not acceptable in most settings, so Introverts can feel a lot of pressure to fit in, which they find exhausting.

Myth #4 – Introverts don’t like people. On the contrary, Introverts intensely value the few friends they have. They can count their close friends on one hand. If you are lucky enough for an introvert to consider you a friend, you probably have a loyal ally for life. Once you have earned their respect as being a person of substance, you’re in.

Myth #5 – Introverts don’t like to go out in public. Nonsense. Introverts just don’t like to go out in public FOR AS LONG. They also like to avoid the complications that are involved in public activities. They take in data and experiences very quickly, and as a result, don’t need to be there for long to “get it.” They’re ready to go home, recharge, and process it all. In fact, recharging is absolutely crucial for Introverts.

Myth #6 – Introverts always want to be alone. Introverts are perfectly comfortable with their own thoughts. They think a lot. They daydream. They like to have problems to work on, puzzles to solve. But they can also get incredibly lonely if they don’t have anyone to share their discoveries with. They crave an authentic and sincere connection with ONE PERSON at a time.

Myth #7 – Introverts are weird. Introverts are often individualists. They don’t follow the crowd. They’d prefer to be valued for their novel ways of living. They think for themselves and because of that, they often challenge the norm. They don’t make most decisions based on what is popular or trendy.

Myth #8 – Introverts are aloof nerds. Introverts are people who primarily look inward, paying close attention to their thoughts and emotions. It’s not that they are incapable of paying attention to what is going on around them, it’s just that their inner world is much more stimulating and rewarding to them.

Myth #9 – Introverts don’t know how to relax and have fun. Introverts typically relax at home or in nature, not in busy public places. Introverts are not thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies. If there is too much talking and noise going on, they shut down. Their brains are too sensitive to the neurotransmitter called Dopamine. Introverts and Extroverts have different dominant neuro-pathways. Just look it up.

Myth #10 – Introverts can fix themselves and become Extroverts. Introverts cannot “fix themselves” and deserve respect for their natural temperament and contributions to the human race. In fact, one study (Silverman, 1986) showed that the percentage of Introverts increases with IQ.

Kyou was waiting for the team to show up in the training field, she was habitually early--that tended to happen when punctuality was drilled into her skull from the minute she started to attend the academy in Suna. And now in Konoha, it just seemed way too relaxed. Turquoise eyes flitted up when someone finally approached.

xD! tbh Gaara’s just given up on understanding Leaf ninjas so as long as they aren’t causing trouble he just kind of shrugs it off. ( plus no one talks to him familiarly in his village so it’s actually a nice change for him tbh )

Kyou has yet to come to that stage of acceptance. (She doesn't talk to anyone familiarly, she thinks it's too intimate and would probably be blushing the entire time if she did. It's not hard to fluster her.) 

[sandinallthewrongplaces]

She could feel it. She was crying. It started from that painful ache in her chest to the numbness in her limbs and the heat on her face. She could only feel the heat due to the contrast of the tears that slipped over her cheeks. Kyou grabbed her scarf and pulled it up over her face, quick to wipe away the evidence only as more came. She started shaking and she couldn't stop. 

Soft sobs shook her body as she attempted to keep quiet. Just curling even further into the corner of the room she'd taken to. No one was here. It was dark. It was safe. No one would catch her like this.

Send me a “~” for my muse’s reaction to yours sliding their arms around my muse’s waist and kissing them.

She wasn’t exactly shocked at the action since it wasn’t a real kiss. She didn’t consider it to be that, anyway. Her scarf was still up. So he probably got sand particles stuck in his mouth—but that didn’t erase the attempt. Turquoise eyes widened and she grabbed his wrists from her waist. “Ah, is there a reason for this?” Kyou wasn’t good at affection or interpreting it’s meanings unless she was on a mission and trying to get something out of someone.

ahealingheart replied to your post:ahealingheart replied to your post: How crude. if...

Yes good friend xD

She's also very shocked at how familiar the Leaf ninjas are speaking to him. So there's that as well. XD  

[sandinallthewrongplaces]

ahealingheart replied to your post: How crude.

if it makes you feel better he’s a virgin too and doesn’t really get what’s happening I’m just laughing at his expense.

Kyou just wants to cover his ears and preserve that innocence. 

Sex has never been an especially pleasant experience to her, so she wants to keep Gaara from that. 

I'm cackling too. XD

How crude.

[ahealingheart-blog]

          The laughter caught his attention almost immediately. While it was short, and cut off, he heard it through the music. Not missing a beat his fingers continued to strike the keys as he turned his head toward her, and offered a smile — to offer silent assurance that he was not offended or the like to her response. While he may wonder what actually caused her to laugh later, in the moment it did not matter. He would let himself believe maybe she thought it was silly, that he changed keys so quickly, doubts could be cast aside until afterward.

[sandinallthewrongplaces]

He was very handsome when he smiled. She offered her own dainty smile in return. Appreciating the reassurance. It was very kind of him. Then closed her eyes again, continuing to listen to him play with her hands folded in her lap. He was very good, as she said before. Curls that escaped her scarf framed her brown face.
