In this life there are often two kinds of people; introverts and extroverts. And that's a good thing because there needs to be both types of people in this world because if everybody was the same.. well then it would be chaos. I myself identify as in introvert and some people seem to have the wrong idea about what an introvert really is. It's different for everybody but there are some key traits that most, if not all, introverts share.

1. Alone Time Is A Must

As an introvert having that time to yourself if is something we need. Introverts can tend to get super stressed if they don't get their alone time. Many introverts are this way, and they plan their days around having that little bit of alone time if possible. It's not that introverts don't like people. it's just that we enjoy our own company too.

2. Being Around A Lot Of People Can Be Draining

It's not that you can't handle being in big crowds or never want to be, but it can become overwhelming and sometimes quick. as introverts we can absolutely enjoy the occasional night out, but at the end of the day you still can't wait to go home to the comfort your own 'habitat'.

3. You Find Small Talk Ponderous

Small talk is the worst for an introvert. Introverts are often deep thinkers and small talk is quite the opposite of that. We are often searching for deeper conversation that let's us get to really know a person, in which small talk prevents. When first meeting someone a little bit of small talk can be alright but an introvert will often try to take the conversation to a deeper level if interested in getting to know you.

4. You Tend To Ignore Phone Calls

Unless you know a phone call is really important and you have to answer introverts tend to ignore phone calls as much as possible. I mean it is 2016 we have the lovely advances of technology where it is possible to do so, text and email are an introverts number one way of communication when not directly with the person they are talking with.

5. You've Been Told You Have An "Old Soul"

Maybe it's because introverts tend to be more in-depth thinkers or because introverts tend to seem more mature for their age. Regardless what the reasoning is introverts tend to be labeled as old souls. Whether or not you like this titled it is without a doubt that introverts often carry the traits of what one would consider an old soul.
