For an introvert, the context of the conversation is everything. If the conversation is in regards to something that holds value the one having the conversation with an introvert will either forget the individual is an introvert or not even be aware at all. The best quality fo introverts is they generally have slightly better listening skills, while extroverts generally have better talking skills. This is not to say either cannot become proficient at both, it is just a matter of where one started off.

This must be the case, because when you are brutally honest and say something like 'your singing was bad', or 'what you did was wrong' the usual response is 'shut up', 'why do you talk so much', or something similar to that. Your mentioned brother and sister-in-law might or might not have histrionic personality disorder or borderline personality disorder. Attention seeking is the common symptom of these two mental disorders. Which made me think, when people see a introvert, they wonder what is wrong with him, why he is so quiet. But when someone sees an extrovert, he doesn't think, 'Why is he talking so much? What is wrong with him?'

I am impressed with the intensity of John Maxwell's listening. Knows more than everyone on that stage, hungrier for knowledge than everyone in that room. Awe inspiring.

Reminds me of a story about Johnny Carson. He hated Hollywood parties. If he went you'd find him off in a corner talking to a couple people, or more likely showing them a card trick. But every evening, he was in millions of people's homes on their television and talked to the most famous and powerful people of his time.

As an introvert and social awkward persons this video gave the hope to continue what I doing, and there is nothing is wrong with.

i love being introverted i can leave parties and say goodbye and no one would notice social camouflage at its finest

I think the problem is how we associate hyperactivity or hyper-energy with good leadership. True leaders walk together with everyone, not ahead of everyone.

That's a good definition of an introvert / extrovert. If social interactions sap your energy you're an introvert, but if it boosts your energy then you're an extrovert. But there's another type called ambivert, who enjoy limited social interactions. Simon is not an introvert but an ambivert, and so am I.

When I was younger, I always thought I was different. I was shy and never outgoing, I'm not the type of person to start a conversation. As I got older and wiser, I realize I'm not different I just have a different personality type, but they don't teach you that as a young kid.

I mean, how _could_ someone be "100% introverted" for example? Literally no one thinks in those terms. What would being "100%" introverted even mean? That you walk out the door, your neighbour says hi and you just _die?_ Of course there are different "stages" of introversion and extroversion, because people aren't programmed machines. The key difference is the experience of finding social interaction either fulfilling or draining. That's it. And as an introvert myself, I feel like one of the reasons for it is that I give a lot of attention and thought to every conversation I have, and I also generally don't like getting attention in everyday situations. And because of that, there are only so many conversations I can have before I'm "out of battery". Whereas extroverts seem to often be different in that they enjoy getting attention, and are often less focused in conversations, jumping from one person to the next, maybe even having multiple conversations at a time. At the end of the day, being introverted or extroverted isn't a personality. It's two different ways that the social part of your brain can be hardwired.

Yes, agree with you. If you are an introvert try to reaching out one by one. Don't start with a group talking, just start with a person by person and then try to group. It gave you more confidence more than you ever imagine. Good Luck Guys. Hope it helps ❤️🔥

I wake up with the 5 coins. I get recharged when I’m alone so that when I show up as my authentic self, I have something to give to someone else. When I’m done, I go home to my peaceful, quiet house with no pets or people other than me & my husband. I love children, so my students have been my kids. It works quite well to have love, energy, peace & quiet, & balance.👍🏾

I think most people both gain energy from some interactions and lose energy from other interactions and a key is finding, filtering for and creating the interactions that give you energy. When the social batteries are empty it's important to recharge without too much interactions, true. I worry though, that labeling oneself as "introvert" makes one lose out on the opportunities that one could have had created without the label when having high social battery loads.

@iccotom

Жыл бұрын

i like this manner of thinking : when social battery is empty. Indeed this is how it feels, regardless of what caused (interesting to figure this out, not always possible), then it's time to recharge by yourself.

Confidence is key. Introverts have quiet confidence and extroverts have loud confidence. It is assumed that all extroverts are confident by default. That's not true. The are lots of extroverts who waffle a lot of nothing at social gatherings. Introverts can have quiet confidence. When this confidence is delivered properly, their logic becomes impactul. Elon Musk always delivers logic and intelligence, and no one notices how shy and introverted he is.

'Undying belief in the cause'💯💐

Absolutely! the energy and charisma all these comes from undying believe in your cause and "Why". and the second thing is you learn what you don't have or unskilled at is through or from the ones who have or skilled at those things.

Absolutely 100% spot on!! I am an introvert & I limit my energy even with my own daughter & family!! I am my own company❤️ too many people, too much noise, lowers my vibration...

🤔I've never heard introversion characterized quite like this before. How it's about energy (and not so much solely about social awkwardness). That bit he said "an introvert wakes up in the morning w/ 5 coins, every social interaction they spent a coin at the end they're depleted" 🙊those words ring true for me!! I'm having an aha moment over here - I am an utterly, unreservedly, unequivocal INTROVERT🙈☺️

So leadership is basically a series of competencies and beliefs, regardless of personality traits which is what we focus on at our channel. I agree that a leader can be successful regardless of personality traits and how they re-energize.

I find it interesting him saying he can't "hold court" but can talk to people individually. I'm an introvert as well, but I'm the exact opposite. I have no problem with public speaking to a group (after years of practice) because the group generally follows your speech and the response is more as a collective. I have real problems speaking to people one-on-one because they expect actual answers to questions and for me to hold up my end of the conversation.

your problem is lack of confidence in what you're talking about - not a problem with groups, because they won't challenge you generally, but in one-on-one situations you are more likely to get into debate - and if you have problem with that - means you're unsure of yourself and your opinions - it has nothing to do with being extra or introvert

Love that! All great leaders - whether introvert or extravert - have an undying belief in their cause. Charisma is how much you're willing to devote to that. And if you have charisma you heave leadership. Powerful!

I feel like the true cause of introversion and extroversion is how you are adapted to your environment. If the environment is hostile or you don't fit in, you are going to feel awkward and prolonged awkwardness leads to introversion. Likewise, if you fit in well and feel comfortable, you become open, engaging and confident. It leads to extroversion. It's just a form of interaction with your environment. Not a personality that is set in stone.

I feel heard. Thank you. I consider myself a social introvert, so smiling, being friendly, and socializing come naturally to me. As you alluded to, some people might not see me as socially awkward (although I feel that way most times). I also love parties because I love music. However, I am ready to curl up and read a book after a fun-filled weekend or vacation. I step outside and have a good time once or twice a month. However, my biggest issue is how the world treats introverts and how introverts are often overlooked for leadership roles, even when they're qualified and awesome. It's how extroverts try to force introverts into small, meaningless talk. The "what's wrong with you?" attitude probably affects introverts who aren't as social.

I would have loved to have learned more! Being an introvert in the corporate world can be challenging. At my company 30% of your year end evaluation is based on being seen as a leader. Unfortunately, the activities and projects that are required for this type of engagement often have nothing to do with the day to day responsibilities of your job. Also, these projects add little value to the shareholders or employees of the company, and creates destructive competition with teammates. As an introvert it is difficult to stand out in this type of environment. You can excel in your job duties but if you aren't "seen" frequently among leadership you could be overshadowed by others who are better at playing the game. Accomplishments become less about merit and more about a popularity contest.

A big challenge for introvert leaders is having extroverts below them that question their leadership because they’re quieter than them… but my thinking is your more likely to listen to an introvert because it’s going to be more constructive and they pick their words more carefully, instead of rambling.

The definition he just gave is actually quite an interesting one

Energy is one way; I certainly can see this. I just reflect on where I feel I’m my best self, and that’s never in the big meeting, it’s most often when I’m spending hours staring at that enormous spreadsheet finding the patterns and plotting the critical charts everyone else is missing.

I hate it lol. Sometimes I go to my wife's parents and I just pray for it to be over for like six hours.

I get all excited when just an idea is being proposed of going somewhere, and excited not about the going part, but how to avoid it altogether I don't know much about the person in this video, but he speaks way too much for an introvert, so I'd say he is full of it, he is bending the perception to suit his agenda which seems to be famous I guess - that doesn't fit any introvert definition I know

Yes wow 💕. It's about the energy being depleted or replenished. I lose my energy but refuel by being alone. I love it Simon ❤️. 🙏 Give all of it always. Cheers to passion and charisma. 🙏

Make the most of who you are and what you have. Charisma comes from belief and commitment.

*Tao te Ching, Chapter 17* (translated by Stephen Mitchell) When the Master governs, the people are hardly aware that he exists. Next best is a leader who is loved. Next, one who is feared. The worst is one who is despised. If you don't trust the people, you make them untrustworthy. The Master doesn't talk, he acts. When his work is done, the people say, "Amazing: we did it, all by ourselves!"

I wake up with only one coin

I think people focus a lot on complementary character traits, as if being being an extrovert makes 90% of being a leader, for example. It seems that things like extremely high competence in a field would not play a role at all in leadership.

Thanks for your subtitle, GBU.

"Introversion isn't about being socially awkward." Also: "The one way I describe these introverted leaders is that they are socially awkward." I agree with his point. I just thought that was kind of funny.

Being an introvert has nothing to do with social skills. There are socially awkward extraverts too. Introverts just prefer small groups or being alone to large groups since solace and deep connection is how we recharge. Nothing more, nothing less.

But then how can I feel sorry for myself and dismiss my social awkwardity as my natural programming? I was one of those people. The more I try to remove my “filter” and just express what’s on my mind, the more most people like me. And then I like being out more and feel more confident. It’s made me wonder if I’m actually an introvert, or just a person who is socially awkward and too lazy or fearful to hang with others.

@@winoneformebammer1980 I guess it just comes down to whether you are comfortable by yourself. My wife hates being alone even for a few days. I can be happy as a clam by myself. It's just a matter of taste I guess.

@@rydersonthestorm7175 There's no such thing as an introvert, everyone has topics they're passionate about and if you hit that button boy will they talk all day. Introverts are called so because no one talks about what they're passionate about...I know coz am an "introvert".

Wow wow wow 😯 💯 he has literally unlocked 🔓 the door for all introvert’s.

How in the heck did I just learn so much about myself in two minutes and thirty-five seconds?!?!

I love simon! Really admire his thoughts, always have, but here he contradicted himself. Initially he said that introversion and extroversion is all about energy lost or gained due to social interactions.. but then while talking about examples for introvert leaders, he gave examples on the basis of how awkward they are in social settings. Something to think about. Just an observation.

I don't see the contradiction. Being socially awkward can also come from being drained from social interaction and trying to fit in.

He did contradict himself because he was using their social awkwardness as evidence of their introversion despite at the beginning claiming there is no such link. Most people I know who are socially awkward are introverts, I don’t see anything controversial about that claim. However - and maybe this is the point he is trying to make - that doesn’t mean all introverts are socially awkward and it doesn’t mean all extroverts are socially confident.

Your videos are splendid! Thank you for giving me a new perspective to contemplate!

100% my case. Thanks for the advice

Classic trick , get an extrovert with you in a party , all introverts been there
