If a man displays these  traits, he’s more introverted than he realizes

Usually, when people say, “there are two types of people in this world…,” you can safely ignore the next words out of their mouth, because it’s never that simple.

However, it is possible to divide the world into introverts and extroverts.

We all fall somewhere along the scale. Some people are classic extroverts who get their energy from being around other people, and others are the opposite. Introverts who need time alone to recharge their social batteries.

But there are different levels to introversion and extroversion, and it’s possible to be one of these personality types without even realizing it.

Sometimes, a man may not have thought of himself in those terms. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t fit into the pattern. And your behaviors can give you a clue as to what type of person you are.

Keep an eye out for these traits, because they can point you toward a man who is more introverted than he thinks.

1) He prefers deep conversations

How do you feel about small talk?

Some people love to chat about inconsequential things. Whether it’s the weather, the news, or the local sports team, they can spend hours swimming in the conversational shallows, happy just to be saying anything.

But for introverts, that’s not true at all.

Often, introverts are more comfortable than most people with silence. They may even prefer silence to talking about things that don’t matter.

Instead, they prefer deep conversations about ideas. They would rather talk about world events than the weather, and prefer to discuss philosophy than make small talk about traffic.

“Conversationally, introverts prefer to dive deep,” writes jenn Granneman , the founder of Introvert Dear, the world’s largest online community for introverts. “We want to know what’s really going on in your head, or to talk about something interesting we’ve read, heard, or watched, among other meaningful topics.”

That doesn’t mean an introvert is going to grill you on whether you believe in the existence of the human soul the very first time he meets you.

But it does mean he may display an aversion to inconsequential chatter and a preference for going deep. 

2) He enjoys being alone

You don’t have to be an introvert to enjoy solitude. But there’s no denying that a love of being alone can often be a sign of introversion.

It definitely is in my case.
