Interesting Four Faces of Introversion
Psychology of Introverts
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Shy-withdrawn people: Suffer from social anxiety.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 other
types of shy individuals. (nos 1, 3 & 4)
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.
