Obvious Things, people can be described in many ways through their behavior. In the social plan, some people interact with the outside world more than others. These are the open-minded, party starters, or social freaks out there! Others feel an urge to pass more of their time alone: solitaires or the ones who think a lot (sometimes too much). There is a principle that explains the overall state of one's mind, and this principle speaks of introversion and extroversion. These terms describe a mental setting mechanism of the human mind, seen as the "social polarity".

INTROVERSION, EXTRAVERSION - HOW TO KNOW?

Each one of us has his/her own ways of relaxation to "refill" levels of energy when we are drained. These who enjoy getting social more than spending time alone are called extraverts, whereas the introverted prefer to be alone or among smaller groups of people. As a matter of fact, this makes all the difference when it comes for someone to rest. Let's say that you are tired and want to spend some time to feel better - what would you most likely do? If your answer implies social behavior, then chances are that you are an extravert by nature.

Of course, this does not prove that you are a total extravert. According to Carl Jung's theory, it simply indicates whether you usually prefer to share your energies with others (like chatting), or leave your conscience to a lonely activity, like listening to music or reading. Your choice, if not forced by another means, defines your ways of relaxation in life.

THE MESSAGE

A very good instance of extraverted practice is seen in the western culture, especially in North America, where such behavior is more accepted and even rewarded. In contrast to this, the introverted more often face unpleasant situations, such as rejection or boring conversations, because they often think more than talk and as such, are more prone to outside interference and negative comments from the extraverted parties.

There is an interesting point to follow here: it is not "bad" to be an introvert, it's quite the contrary - but what if some people introvert TOO much? What happens to them?

Well, it is not always a need to socialize, but it is a requirement to do so from time to time… If an introvert becomes too isolated, there is a more risk of weird, "unsocial" behavior. Basically, here's the message that I give to all the introverts who read this: YOU CAN, and SHOULD be extroverted! Drain your energies through extraversion; it will CHANGE your life forever!

WHAT'S UP WITH THE INTROVERTS…?

By now, you might say: "fine, introvert is a fancy name for solitaire or shy out there - what's their problem then?"

Yes, this statement is often true. First, we need to understand that an introvert is someone who initially does not feel the need to enter group activities, such as in social games, team sports, or big parties/events. He or she would be more attracted to discover what we call the "inner world". Now this is definitely a funky angle of spirituality. More often than not, an introvert is focused on Life's "existence" theme as a whole. Most artists, musicians, painters and philosophers are introverted by nature because they are fascinated with the "inner world". I will definitely not go into details about this, as it relates to very complex matter and may be harder to understand. In short, it is the gateway to the world of thoughts, imagination, creativity, sometimes madness itself, and all that is immaterial. (!)

I am an introvert, and I can proudly say that the inner world I live in is some wild, unbelievable ride. Our minds have the power to relate to such unexplainable thoughts, and then reason upon them! Extroverts may already be losing me here? That is normal! The inner world is beyond words, and that is why it is so difficult to understand what's up with us, the introverts. No, we are not crazy persons, but if we were to express everything that we think, we would definitely be looked upon as madmen! You get me!

CHANGE

It is the person's overall mood that defines whether he or she is extroverted or not at a given time. It is less obvious for introverts to be extroverted often in life. So, back to that message: how, and why, should you become extroverted?

There is no magic, it is very simple: you need to shift your behavior a bit. Change it! Change is something feared by many, and deemed as impossible for some. WRONG! You cannot only change, but for the better as well! Try to add extraverted activities in your day-to-day life - trust me, you will see a change in yourself within the week. Extraversion is very good for you because it allows you to live a life filled with interaction. If you are introverted, you will experience more energy drains, but it is lost for the better change that you choose, and will be regained through your introverted activities. The key to a better life is always balance, remember that!

"To sum it up, it is required to be an extravert in life if you want it to be extra fun. "Give and you shall receive", everyone says. Extroverted attitude is just that! You share away your energy with others, as a reward you gain a better understanding of the world surrounding you, and just live better."
