A Male socially introverted interaction


Welcome to day 2 blog. I was thinking today on my drive home and came across this type of person. I am this kind of person and believe they are misunderstood to some degree. So I'll attempt to give insight in a few situations that do exist.
The big one is in a social setting at a party or even simply a one on one conversation. To people that are outgoing it's a simple process. Speak find an interest and continue from there. With the strong<b> silent </font></b>type, shy, or introvert it's a bit different on the process. The same steps are done typically just more detailed one could say. We speak but the next step is finding an interest, alot of times we can get muddled at this stage as different interests can pop up within our head and we can get lost on what to pick which leads to the awkward silence after the initial communication. Which can make or break the whole interaction. from an outside point of view shows there isn't a blame just a simple miscommunication. Some people can overcome this by continuing the next step pointed at the introvert. This allows the communication to continue. Most of the time its broken off and for the introvert it can turn to self blame and most likely becoming more introverted. A reason I have to being introverted is a way to find those that are interested and those that are not. Granted it is a two-way street I might miss the most important people because they are shy as well. So I do attempt to talk to anyone I have interest in. Unfortunately those are far and few between. Perhaps this can give people an insight and maybe some others ideas on how to overcome it if needed. I do want to be clear that I am not trying to point out wrongs or rights just giving some enlightenment.

I really think there is a strong genetic component to our personalities. I (the male half of the couple) am a definite introvert, but that seems to run in my father's side of the family. I think it sometimes takes an introvert to understand an introvert. Yes we can seem shy. Sometimes we are and sometimes we are just in a quiet mood. People at parties often thought I wasn't enjoying myself just because I didn't talk much.
Bottom line, it takes practice to communicate with the extroverted world. Try not to blame yourself for being introverted. Be comfortable with it and try to adapt. It has certain advantages, introversion does. But you probably already know that.

Brass i can understand how it can be perceived at parties. I had that happen a few times in life. My father is more outgoing than i am but i can see a good tie to genetics to how our personality are. It is a good point to make and thank you for your input.
