When The Invisible Cloak Doesn’t Work
Another distinguishing feature of an introvert is having a small circle of friends. Because they prefer to be or appear invisible, introverted people may have fewer friends because they are less likely to attend large gatherings or approach strangers in public and strike up a conversation. Still, the relationships they do cultivate are meaningful and often long-lasting. “Of the many superpowers of introverts, one is that they tend to create profound and significant relationships with those closest to them,” Verywell Mind explains.
So when they see someone they don’t expect to see them, they are taken aback as if they are being watched. Introverts also enjoy interacting with others one-on-one rather than in large groups.” It can be difficult to get a word in when hanging out with a large group, especially one made up of extroverts. Still, introverts feel more comfortable opening up and bonding with others in a more intimate setting.
