- [Instructor] There
has been a huge decline in mental health around the world, which is why we are so committed to creating more content
than we ever have. Thanks for being part of our journey. Do you ever notice your
classmate or coworker, who does not seem to talk
much but when they do, they always have something
interesting to contribute? Or maybe you are the
type to be more silent, but have tons of thoughts constantly running through your head. One thing is for certain, if you think Netflix has too many shows, try looking inside an introvert's brain. There is always a steady stream of thoughts running through their minds. Introverts are introspective
in their thinking and focus on internal
thoughts, feelings, and moods. Are you curious what
these thoughts may be? Here are a list of five things introverts think but never say. Number one, "I don't
always wanna hang out, but I still wanna be invited." Have you ever felt so drained
once you reach the weekend that you decided to
spend your solitary time at home to recharge? It's been a hectic week, and all you wanna do
is retreat into a shell and read that new book you
just bought the other day. However, you heard that
your friends had made plans. You may not wanna go, but you still wanna be invited. For introverts, time alone is essential. The conflict in their lives is
between wanting to be invited to things but not wanting to go. Number two, "Would they think
I'm boring and uninteresting?" Do you ever think that you
are uninteresting to others? Perhaps you're fond of
enjoying your own time sipping tea in an isolated place, while creating imaginary
worlds in your mind? Introverts are usually quiet around people they don't know very well. They might be afraid of what the person might think
of them or what they say. Combine this with their
dislike for small talk, some people may view
introverts as uninteresting. However, when introverts
find an interesting topic to talk about, they can
ramble on for hours. Number three, "Is it okay
if I'm not saying too much?" Have you ever been in a conversation and worried about how the
other person perceives you? Perhaps you're on a date and you're more comfortable being the one to ask a few questions and
listen to your date talking and then it occurs to you. Is it okay if I'm not saying too much? You know you are entirely invested in the person in front of you, but you're not sure if
they're aware of that. People with introverted
personalities often observe things, while thinking in their heads constantly. Apart from that, introverts
thrive in silence. Number four, is it obvious that I sometimes ignore
my calls and messages? Do you become anxious when
your phone is ringing? Calls demand immediate attention and distract you from the task at hand. Even if someone they like calls,
introverts may not answer. Introverts might also greatly appreciate if the person who wants to call them schedules the call over text. This way they can look forward to talking with the person and avoid the dread that always comes with the
surprise of a phone ringing. Number five. "I hope they cancel our plans,
so that I don't have to go." Have you ever received an invitation from your friend to hang
out, but you secretly wish for them to cancel the plans? When plans are canceled, you feel free. Sometimes introverts tend
to say yes to every plan and go outta their way to see people, even if these activities
leave them feeling depleted. So when their friends cancel
plans, they feel relieved, because they don't wanna
make their friends feel bad when they cancel the plans themselves. There are various types of introverts and not all of them are the same. Everyone has unique personality traits and no one fits into a
single category or box, but hopefully this video gives
you a better understanding of how people with
introverted personality types think, act, and feel. Till next time, Psych2goers.
