- [Narrator] Hey, Pscyh2Goers, welcome back to our channel.
Are you an introvert?
Extrovert?
Are you an introvert who's curious
about what qualities might be more compatible
with your introverted self?
Or maybe you're an extrovert who has an introverted partner?
What might they need from you in a relationship?
Well, here are six things introverts need in a partner.
Number one, someone who is comfortable with silence.
Sweet silence.
Is there anything quite like it?
To some extroverts, silence can be intimidating or awkward,
but introverts don't always
wanna spend their time talking.
Sometimes just being in the same room as their partner
makes them feel happy and connected.
So while you may be having a cozy dinner together,
don't worry if there's a long pause
while eating your delightful cuisine.
They might just not feel like talking at the moment,
but value spending time with you.
Or the food's just really good.
Less talk, more eating.
Number two, a good listener.
Are you a good listener?
Who doesn't love someone who can be there for them
when they need to vent or are having a tough day?
Some active listening and reassurance can go a long way,
especially for introverts.
Why do introverts value great listeners?
Well, since they don't often open up
to strangers or acquaintances,
they spend most of their time
talking with their closest friends and loved ones,
especially their partners.
Introverts can spend a great deal of time in their head,
coming up with interesting ideas and theories.
Who are they going to tell these theories to?
If they tell anyone,
it's likely that it's going to be a loved one
or their partner, which is where you come in.
Both of you can listen
and share your thoughts with each other.
And if there's a bit of silence afterward, no problem.
Number three, someone who values quality time.
Do you enjoy quality time?
Introverts may just wanna spend
some of their days with you doing simple things,
and really getting to know you in the process.
Perhaps you'll both go on a walk together,
or have a calm day of shopping and browsing the markets.
A simple evening hanging out with your family
and good old uncle Joe.
Perhaps you'll spend your mornings
having tea and baking biscuits.
Good combo.
Whatever it is you do,
the simple quality time together
can be just as good as the exciting and busy days out.
Number four, someone who understands personal space
and alone time.
Do you enjoy your alone time?
As much as you may love your partner,
sometimes you just gotta be alone.
Introverts often need time alone to recharge.
Their energy can sometimes get drained quickly
when socializing with others,
or spending more time in crowded groups.
So in return, perhaps at the end of a long day,
they just need some time to unwind and relax.
If you notice they wanna spend some time alone
in their room one day and are wondering
if you did something wrong, ask yourself this first.
Did you recently do something that may have upset them,
or are they just being an introvert?
Who doesn't love some peaceful time alone?
Ah, recharging.
Number five, a love for deep conversations.
Who needs small talk?
To an introvert, small talk can be a great bore.
It's not great, but it is greatly boring.
It may make them simply feel a bit awkward
having to force a bit of small talk
when someone initiates the dreaded,
can you believe this weather?
Instead, they value the deeper conversations
they have with their partner.
Talk about your ideas, your goals,
what you enjoyed about that film, that book, that trip.
Don't be afraid to hold back the inner thoughts of your mind
that keep you restless in the wee hours of the night.
Let them out.
You may find you both have something else in common.
So if you're not often looking to talk about deeper things
than the weather, then, well,
you may have a stormy relationship ahead.
(narrator chuckles)
See what I did there?
No?
Oh.
And number six, someone who can take things slow at first.
When you start a relationship,
do you wanna take things slow?
Some relationships move fast.
One minute you're exchanging numbers,
the next you're moving in together
and introducing them to your old uncle named Joe.
Why is Joe always around?
Introverts may simply need more time to open up to others.
They wanna feel comfortable in your presence
before opening up about what truly makes them them.
So go on a few casual fun dates, hang out together,
get to know each other.
And in due time, you may just be moving in together
and meeting good old uncle Joe.
So do you have a crush on an introvert?
