Top 10 Myths about Introverts

Myth #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk.

This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days.

Myth #2 – Introverts are shy.

Shyness has nothing to do with being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they need is a reason to interact. They don’t interact for the sake of interacting. If you want to talk to an Introvert, just start talking. Don’t worry about being polite.

Myth #3 – Introverts are rude.

Introverts often don’t see a reason for beating around the bush with social pleasantries. They want everyone to just be real and honest. Unfortunately, this is not acceptable in most settings, so Introverts can feel a lot of pressure to fit in, which they find exhausting.

Myth #4 – Introverts don’t like people.

On the contrary, Introverts intensely value the few friends they have. They can count their close friends on one hand. If you are lucky enough for an introvert to consider you a friend, you probably have a loyal ally for life. Once you have earned their respect as being a person of substance, you’re in.

Myth #5 – Introverts don’t like to go out in public.

Nonsense. Introverts just don’t like to go out in public FOR AS LONG. They also like to avoid the complications that are involved in public activities. They take in data and experiences very quickly, and as a result, don’t need to be there for long to “get it.” They’re ready to go home, recharge, and process it all. In fact, recharging is absolutely crucial for Introverts.

Myth #6 – Introverts always want to be alone.

Introverts are perfectly comfortable with their own thoughts. They think a lot. They daydream. They like to have problems to work on, puzzles to solve. But they can also get incredibly lonely if they don’t have anyone to share their discoveries with. They crave an authentic and sincere connection with ONE PERSON at a time.

Myth #7 – Introverts are weird.

Introverts are often individualists. They don’t follow the crowd. They’d prefer to be valued for their novel ways of living. They think for themselves and because of that, they often challenge the norm. They don’t make most decisions based on what is popular or trendy.

Myth #8 – Introverts are aloof nerds.

Introverts are people who primarily look inward, paying close attention to their thoughts and emotions. It’s not that they are incapable of paying attention to what is going on around them, it’s just that their inner world is much more stimulating and rewarding to them.

Myth #9 – Introverts don’t know how to relax and have fun.

Introverts typically relax at home or in nature, not in busy public places. Introverts are not thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies. If there is too much talking and noise going on, they shut down. Their brains are too sensitive to the neurotransmitter called Dopamine. Introverts and Extroverts have different dominant neuro-pathways. Just look it up.

Myth #10 – Introverts can fix themselves and become Extroverts.

Introverts cannot “fix themselves” and deserve respect for their natural temperament and contributions to the human race. In fact, one study (Silverman, 1986) showed that the percentage of Introverts increases with IQ

How To Study Multiple Languages!

Recently had a follower ask me how I study multiple languages at once and it inspired me to make this post!

So, here are some tips on how to study multiple languages (from someone whose studying 9+ languages atm!):

1. PRIORITIZE

If you try to study all your languages all the time, you’re going to go crazy, and you’re not going to get anywhere (trust me, tried it before). Categorize your target languages based on importance and urgency. Personally, I use the terms primary, secondary, casual, and “dabbled in” (lol) to describe my languages, ranging from most important to least. Primary languages should be studied the most, and casual languages should be studied the least, which brings me to my next point.

2. MAKE A SCHEDULE

Please, please, PLEASE, make some sort of schedule or to-do list, it will make your life so much easier, I swear. As I said previously, prioritize your languages and study the most important ones the most and the least important ones the least. Personally, I like to create a weekly plan on what languages I’ll be studying and on what days. For example, Chinese is one of my primary languages, so I study it every single day, while Italian is one of my more casual languages, so I study it every few days. All in all, you don’t need to (and shouldn’t) study all your target languages in one day. I would even go as far as saying that you should study some languages on a biweekly basis, rather than every week, if that’s something that would work for you.

3. MAKE GOALS (and achieve them!)

This is sort of similar to my last point, but it’s still something I wanted to address in more detail. It’s pretty difficult to create an accurate schedule if you don’t have a specific and detailed goal in mind. Ask yourself questions like, what languages do I need to learn the quickest (ex. an important trip coming up that requires you to know the lang)? How fluent do I want to get? Why am I learning this language (for fun, to talk with natives, to watch your favorite show w/o subtitles, etc)? Aligning your schedule and mindset with these goals will help you to keep focused on your languages!

4. IMMERSION

One highly underated and underdone language learning technique is immersion! Immersion is, well, exactly what it sounds like: it’s when you immerse yourself in the language. Good ways to immerse yourself is through listening to music or podcast in your target language or watching videos, movies, or TV shows (+ its fun!!). Of course, the best way the immerse yourself in a language would be through moving to a country that speaks the language or speaking to native speakers. However, if you’re broke and socially anxious (like yours truly), this isn’t always an option. Also, one thing that I like to do is to change my phone language to whatever language I’m studying at the moment. It really helps!

5. DON’T STRESS (seriously!)

Finally, don’t stress yourself out! Language learning is supposed to be fun and enjoyable, not something that makes you want to curl up in a ball and cry. I’ve made this mistake many times, and it just hurts you in the long run. If you are stressed out by the amount of languages you are learning, STUDY LESS LANGUAGES! Seriously, it’s okay! You can always come back to them at a later time.

Overall, just enjoy the process and have fun with it! Studying languages should be enjoyable to you, and should make your life better, not more stressful.

“But a language, even a foreign language, is something so intimate that it enters inside of us despite the fissure. It becomes a part of our body, our soul. It takes root in the brain, it emerges from our mouths. In time, it nestles in the heart.”
