Are you also 'Otrovert'?
Do you become silent as soon as you reach a party? Do you find it difficult to talk to strangers, but when your close friend comes along, you end up talking for hours? If so, you may be known as an 'introvert' on social media. Photographer and traveler Tushar has mentioned this behavior on his Instagram. According to him, the social energy of some individuals depends on who they are with and not where they are.
The person in front matters more than the environment
Generally, an attempt is made to divide people into categories like introvert, extrovert or ambivert. But 'introvert' is a new term for people who don't fit neatly into these traditional categories.
Such people may remain silent in a party and are not interested in interacting with strangers. But if they have a close friend or favorite person there, their behavior may change completely.
Is it arrogance or attitude?
Sometimes, people consider quiet people to be arrogant or rude. But it is not necessary that speaking less means arrogance.
People who use the term 'introvert' explain it in such a way that such people do not feel the same social energy with everyone else. They are not interested in artificial conversation or formality.
Why is this being discussed in today's generation?
In the age of social media, people are under pressure to be constantly active and connect with as many people as possible. But many people have now started giving more importance to short but trusting relationships.
For them, the people in front of whom they do not need to change themselves are more important than the big social circle. This is why words like 'extrovert' are becoming popular to explain behavior on social media.
How to recognize that you too are like this?
If you associate yourself with the following points, you too can become 'Otroverted'—
- You don't talk much among strangers.
- You like to remain silent in formal meetings.
- You can talk for hours with a special friend.
- Unnecessary gossip can bore you quickly.
- Your dealings with close people are open.
- You prefer to have strong relationships with a select few people.
It is also important to understand your social energy
If you don't talk much in a crowd, it doesn't mean you don't like people. Social behavior of every person may be different.
Therefore, instead of trying to fit yourself into any one label, it is important to understand what people and situations you feel comfortable with.
'Otrovert' is a term that is currently prevalent in social media, it should not be considered an official psychological category or illness of a person.
