5 Things i love about being an introvert

In my last video, I talked about five things I hate about being an introvert. But now, let’s flip the script. Being introverted isn't all social anxiety and drained energy from small talk—there’s a beautiful, powerful side to it too. Here are five things I love about being an introvert:

1. We’re Natural Listeners

Introverts don’t usually dominate conversations or feel the urge to talk nonstop—unless someone draws it out of us. That’s not a weakness. It means we’re better at listening (that’s a skill!). And when you really listen to people, you ask better questions, show more genuine interest, and connect with both introverts and extroverts. Two extroverts may have a blast chatting, but often the conversation stays on the surface.

2. We Build Deeper Connections

Because we listen well and value real conversation, introverts are great at forming meaningful 1-on-1 connections. When two introverts talk, something special happens—the conversation often goes beyond the surface, into real thoughts and feelings. It’s like we create a space where people can let their guard down and be themselves. A mutual level of trust and friendship builds much faster.

3. We’re Comfortable Alone

One of the best parts about being an introvert? We enjoy being alone. Whether it's reading a book, walking your dog, gaming, shooting hoops, or just vibing, listening to music. Solitude recharges us. We don’t need constant interaction to feel fulfilled. That said, it’s easy to go too long without social connection and start to feel isolated and lose friends without realizing it. So balance is key.

4. We’re Laser-Focused

When introverts have a goal, we zone in and give it our full attention. Whether it’s a project, task, or personal challenge, we’re wired to go deep and stay committed. That kind of focus means we can produce high-quality work—but it also makes multitasking tough. Switching gears can throw us off and disrupt our momentum. Once that flow is broken, it’s not always easy to get back in the zone.

5. We’re Deep Thinkers

Yes, we overthink sometimes—but that just means we consider things deeply. While others may rush into decisions, we weigh risks, long-term outcomes, and practical details. Buying a car? An introvert will think about mileage, cost, job security, long-term maintenance, and even regret potential before making a move. Sometimes, being able to think from both sides pays off.

Bottom line: Being an introvert isn’t a flaw—it could be seen as a superpower. Sure, we have our struggles, but we also have strengths that can lead to deeper relationships, better decisions, and a stronger sense of self.

Are you an introvert too? What do you love—or struggle with—the most about it?
