11 Fascinating Things About Introvert Girl Friends
How to navigate a friendship or relationship with an introverted partner
I am an introvert! Proud introvert!
I have never been in relationships.
But I have a few amazing friendships with amazing souls.
Before making such strong bonds, I encountered many people who misunderstood me as an introverted girl and other introverts.
I have observed them damaging the relationship by their wrong judgment with the person who can be there with them for a lifetime.
I am writing it according to the perspective of an introverted girl and a girl friend.
So you can understand that Introverted Girl in your life.
Be it your friend, girlfriend, spouse, or any special woman you admire (teacher, mentor).
You spend enough time with your Sister or Mother. So I am not covering that part.
Because you understand them better.
If introverts give you a space in their life, you are more than a friend to them. They allow only a few people in their life. ~ Monika Singh
Dealing with an introverted girlfriend requires
- Patience
- Respect
- Understanding
How to navigate a friendship or relationship with an introverted partner?
1. Express Yourself
Along with expressing your love, tell them they are special to you.
Introverts are people who find it hard to express themselves.
But things become easier for them when they see you putting in your efforts to make them feel special.
You will be amazed by the unexpected extrovert side you see when they are with you.
2. Don’t Hurt
If they commit a mistake that you can ignore, please do it.
Never say to your introverted partner that “you don’t take me seriously.”
Don’t make it a serious issue by calling them “stupid, narrow-minded, dumb, illiterate, or you regret it to have them around you.”
It hurt them.
And it will seriously affect your relationship, even if you have said it in the heat of the moment.
You can communicate about it later in an organized manner when the anger disappears.
3. Respect Her Solitude
Respect her personal space need and alone time.
Don’t say to your partner that “you are ignoring me, or don’t like my company.”
