As an introvert it can be very hard to tell the extroverts in your life what you want and need. Often they want to care for you, but they don’t know hard and because of your introverted nature, you find it hard to express yourself in a successful way. Since everyone is different and unique, all our needs are different. No two introverts are the same, which makes it even more challenging.
Before communicating, it’s important to understand that an extrovert will struggle to understand and empathize because it isn’t something that they’ve been through themselves, but they’ll be willing to listen and work with you because they love you. Sometimes to discover what works for you, you’ll have to work together and go through a period of trial and error, but you’ll get there.
So, find a way to express yourself. Whether it’s a conversation, a letter, an email… whatever it takes. Getting the information out there is half the battle and the education for the other person! As long as you say what you need, and no one knows what you need better than you do, and you explain why, you’re on your way.
