What To Do If You Are In a Relationship With An Introvert| Psychologist talk| Dr Manju Antil| Wellnessnetic Care

Here we are welcoming you to our new article, in which, we are going to dig through, relationship tips for extroverted personalities. If you're in a relationship with an introvert, you may be bumbling to figure out your partner and their preferences. specifically, if you're an extrovert and in the early stages of dating, here we are suggesting, that What To Do If You Are In a Relationship With An Introvert


1. Give them the space they need to recharge by themselves

Instead of dragging them outside, understand that introverts recharge by being alone -- don't take it personally if they need time by themself.


2. Accept introverts for who they are instead of trying to convert them into extroverts.

So many people think of introverts as incapable of socializing and try and 'fix' them. As their partner, accept them for who they are and be a safe space for them instead.

3. Have meaningful conversations
Introverts hate small talk and the usual redundant "How was your day?" greetings. Talking about deeper topics can get them to open up better than shallow conversations.

4. Ask them out for the types of meetings they like
Many introverts don't enjoy parties and loud but enjoy intimate settings such as dinners and casual chats. They'd appreciate these instead.

5. Stay close to them at events with new people

A place full of strangers can be intensely confronting and stressful for an introvert. Acting as the 'safety zone' for your partner can be very relieving, especially when having to do introductions.

6. Be willing to accept silence

Introverts hate having to talk all the time during conversations. Accepting that there will be times when the conversation will be silent but still enjoying each other's presence is much more helpful than forcing out talk.

7. Establish a space for them in the house where they can be alone

Apart from scheduling alone time, also try agreeing on a specific which acts as their 'safe spot' where they can recharge. after a long day by themselves.

In a world built for extroverts, being an introvert's safe space as well as being kind and welcoming towards their needs creates a much better relationship dynamic as compared to pressuring them or trying to 'fix' their introversion.

There are plenty of introvert-extrovert and introvert-introvert relationships out there that are happy and healthy. Introversion should not be a barrier to that!
