Socialising

Friends are great, in small doses

Introverts prefer a small social network and to socialise with those they know well. They might be less likely to approach new people and their social network will typically come from work, family friends and friends of friends who they can create a close bond with. This doesn’t mean they are antisocial and they can be extremely engaging when in small quieter groups; they just don’t tend to jump up and down yelling “look at me!” Whilst their circle of friends might be small, the value they place on them is large and friends they have tend to be close and long-term.
