Writing and Extroversion, The Fearless Combination Rarely Discussed

I used to a monkey extrovert, then back to the introvert kind based on some awkward social interactions. Finally, I am extrovert again and never embracing the introvert mentality ever, which is not a snap judgement. I have experienced my part of the pros and cons of both the personalities. The extroversion one comes naturally to me now.

Just knowing that you can’t judge a movie by its climax (or use the book cover analogy), the same is with human nature. Fixate on one negative experience, and it will bump hard whenever you try to rise. Focus on the positives even if they are just a glimmer, and that my friend, is a life hack!

If you are analysing any social situation or mistake you did, see it as a learning opportunity to improve your behaviour rather than judging yourself and drowning in self-pity based on just one experience!

I’ve had a hard time battling negativity, and now it can’t even survive the air around me. But at the same time, I am grateful that I faced it head-on! That is how I built self-confidence.

Even my elder brother said this to me a few days back, “People look at you as a ray of positivity.”

You become a communication wizard.

When I talk with someone, I am not satisfied until the conversation concludes. If the second person is trying to avoid the conversation and don’t wanna have a lively one, they may never talk to me. And that is perfectly fine!

Disagreement is an inbuilt difference of opinions. No one bonds with everyone they meet. But there are a few extrovert qualities, if embraced, make us a great conversationalist and also, efficient learning writer:

1. You develop empathy

By socialising, you understand the preference of the people by the way they talk, their body language and their mood. The conversation may even go deep sometimes, and you will get to know their side which they rarely reveal to anyone!

You become a healer. They will remember you whenever they are down in a similar situation like the one you helped them solve. Nowadays I talk on the call with my friends for hours. Not minutes, hours!

2. You become an active listener

Do you listen to understand or wait for the other person to end so you can speak? Your behaviour here shows a lot about how open you are in looking at the same situation with a different perspective.

An active listener is also a sound learner. And people like to be heard. They want to spend time with people who can listen to them, understand them and even help them with a problem.

3. Your sense of humour improves with time

Jolly people are friendly to be around. I enjoy talking with people. I often throw jokes to lighten the mood. During my Kota times and college life, I used to throw a lot of PJs. I still do, but they are far less than they used to be.

Selective extroversion based on social circles goes a long way. With time, you know when to shut up and when to stand up. Both require wisdom, and putting yourself out there will give you that!
