The Four Faces of Introversion
1.
Shy-secure people: Don’t have a strong need to be around
people, and don’t tend to worry about talking to new people. They can socialise
if they need to, but they general prefer to be by themselves and to do things
on their own.
2.
Shy-withdrawn people: Suffer from social anxiety. They are highly
sensitive to perceived rejection, are anxious of negative evaluation, and are
afraid of doing something embarrassing. They suffer more anxiety than people
who are shy-withdrawn.
3.
Shy-dependent people: Are overly helpful, accommodating,
self-effacing and compliant. They have a strong need to be with other people
but they feel they are inferior or “not good enough”. They have good social
skills and are pleasant company – but they give up their true self in their
desire to fit in.
4.
Shy-conflicted people:
Vacillate between wanting to be around other people and then pulling
back (as social situations are a real source of stress). This group of people
experience the most stress and anxiety.
