7 Reasons Introverts Now Rule the World Myth 1: Introverts don't like to talk Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. Myth 2: Introverts are shy What they need is a reason to interact. They don’t interact for the sake of interacting. Myth 3: Introverts are rude Introverts want everyone to just be real and honest. Myth 4: Introverts don’t like people Once you have earned their respect as being a person of substance, you’re in. It’s time to bow before the introverts reading in the corner. Why? 1. Introverts are superior storytellers They are often skilled writers and content creators, making them golden geese in our current age. 2. Introverts are better listeners While the ability to “listen” may seem unremarkable, being able to listen, analyze, and act is extremely valuable in the digital age. 3. Introverts feel at home online As a result of ample online hours, they tend to be naturals when it comes to all things tech. 4. They aren’t ball hogs Extroverts like to run the show. Introverts have no problem collaborating. 5. Introverts make better bosses Introvert leaders tend to deliver better results than extroverts because they tend to give employees a longer leash. 6. They’re more social than you think. Introverts, while often enjoying social activities and engagements as much as anyone else, need periods of solitude to recover. 7. A lonely heart makes for more creativity. They need their periods of isolation to recharge their batteries, and it is in those quiet moments that inspiration often strikes. So extroverts are useless wastes of space? No obviously not. But the tendency has been to favor the boisterous, loud, whirlwind energy of extroverts. Instead, we need to take into account those introverted underdogs. They are the ones who we’ll see pulling the strings in our increasingly more digital-oriented age.
