15(The Struggle is Real)

Challenges Only

Introverts Face

@HabitsGuy

Many people confuse

introversionwith shyness.

But the primary characteristic of introverts is that their internal “battery” drains

when spending time with others, and they “recharge” by being alone.

This means we each have our own uniquechallenges

when it comes to our personal and

professional lives.

Can you relate to any of these 15

introvertchallenges?

Perception of Rudeness or

Aloofness

People tend to undervalue people

who are quieter, which leads to the

perception that introverts are indifferent or

uncaring.

Exhaustion from Overstimulation

Many introverts feel emotionally

drained after spending a lot

of time in social

situations.

Being Perceived as Dull

As introverts, we often think

carefully before speaking, so we have a tendency

not jump into fast-moving

conversations.

Lack of Confidence and Shyness

Confident introverts simply

don’t feel that constant need to speak and only

speak to say important things.

Making a Good First Impression

We can be very talkative once we

get to know someone, but it’s

hard for many of us to make a positive initial connection

with someone new.

The Fine Art of Small Talk

Many strugglewith their first words because

they don’t know how to handle the next phase of the conversation—

small talk.

Talking on the Phone

It’s impossible to gauge the subtle

nuances of a conversation

while you’re on the phone.

Building Relationships

We often feel like we're somehow

less valuable than someone who seemingly

has hundreds of friends.

Being Pushed Around

Being loud isn’t something that introverts are known for, and because of it,

their opinions and wishes are often

overlooked.

Working in Teams

When it comes to workplace trends, things are moving in a less introvert-

friendly direction.

Giving Feedback

Many introverts struggle with

giving negativefeedback to others

out of fear or shyness, or due to

a lack of confidence.

Not Having Your Contributions

Recognized

As an introvert, you may prefer to stay in the background but staying there

can have a disastrous impact on your career and

personal life.

Nurturing Relationships with

Extroverts

It’s easy to have conflict when extroverts and

introverts are in a close relationship

due to misunderstandings & different social

needs.

Networking

Does the word “networking”

make you cringe? Networking is one

of the most common

complaints about being an introvert.

Not Being Seen as a Leader

Many people view leaders as people

who are extremely outgoing and

personable, traits that aren’t natural to many introverts.

Though these challenges may be difficult to face at times…

…don’t allow them to hinder your success!
