10 Reasons Why Introverts Are Awesome

How many of these are spot on for you?

4. Introverts Keep Your Secrets

In general, introverts are more self-reliant than extroverts and enjoy spending time alone. Because of this, they understand a respect personal boundaries. Introverts have a small circle of close friends. This, combined with their ability to listen well and respond thoughtfully, make introverts great secret keepers. Don’t take advantage of the introverts in your life! But know that they are loyal and worthy of your trust.

5. Introverts Actually Make Great Leaders

Despite popular belief, leadership is not just for the charismatic extroverts! There are plenty of examples of powerful and respected leaders who are also introverts – Abraham Lincoln, Nelson Mandela, Eleanor Roosevelt, Mahatma Gandhi, and even Barack Obama! Part of why these leaders had success is due to the fact they are able to project an aura of calmness despite being under pressure. Introverts also have an amazing ability to unite others, spark conviction, and instill confidence in other people. These are all great qualities of true leaders!

6. Introverts Give Great Compliments

Since shallow small talk is not high on an introvert’s priority list, you can be sure when an introvert gives you a compliment, they really mean it! Plus, introverts don’t go for an easy compliment – nice shoes, I like your haircut, etc. Instead, they take time to observe and consider and choose their words wisely. Their compliments go so much deeper than looks!

7. Introverts Are The Most Authentic People You’ll Meet

We’ve already established that introverts genuinely enjoy spending time alone, and they have a fairly small circle of people they call friends. Because of this, they are more self-sufficient and less prone to people pleasing. Therefore, when they open up to you, you know you’re getting the real them – not just what they think you want. For this reason, introverts are wonderful people to ask for advice! After considering the options, they will tell you their opinion, not just what you want to hear.
