Communicating

Introverts are listeners 1st talkers 2nd

In a discussion or social environment introverts might prefer to sit back, observe the action and take everything in. As a result they can sometimes be accused of being a ‘wall flower’, shy or antisocial. Don’t be fooled and underestimate how engaged they are and how much detail they might absorb in these situations. Not actively engaging can also sometimes be an energy protection strategy. They are playing to their strengths and will often seek an opportunity to discuss their thoughts in a more private and low energy environment. If someone wanted to know what happened or was discussed at a social event, an introvert will likely be able to paint a clear picture.
