How to care for an Extrovert or Introvert

My husband and I are two completely different people. He is a major extrovert, always wanting someone or multiple someone’s around him at all times. Me, on the other hand… total introvert. I LOVE staying at home the majority of the time, having quiet days and evenings to do whatever I want, without being on someone else’s agenda.

{I won’t even mention what type of parent I am, “ahem,” a “Helicopter Mom,” but that’s just another personality characteristic that I have developed, that some of you may be able to relate to.}

There is NOTHING wrong with either personality. In fact, I feel it’s what makes the world go ’round. Heck, I married an extrovert, because I love that very thing about him.

Do you know what you are? What exactly classifies an extrovert, and an introvert? Whatever you are, I feel it is so very good to know how to treat other people when they are classified as one or the other.

-Are you annoyed because you have a friend that ALWAYS calls/texts/wants to hang out on a daily basis, but you just need a stinkin’ break?

-Does it drive you crazy that your husband is someone that likes to stay at home every evening, watching the SAME reality shows, and then nod off to sleep… calling that a perfect night? But for Heaven’s sake… you need to get out of the house!

I sometimes find myself struggling with these types of things, and when I came across these tips from “The Introvert’s Dilemma,” for handling my opposite, it changed how I think all around! It not only helps you understand how to treat others that are so different than you, but how they may be feeling about you as well.

Look at both lists, and let me know what you think. Do you think it’s accurate?  Would you add anything else to the lists?
