Introversion is an often misunderstood term, because people relate it so much to shyness.
内向这个术语常被误解,因为人们总将内向和害羞联系在一起。
It actually doesn't go by a "one size fits all" definition, as it can be categorized into four different types.
事实上,两者不能混为一谈,因为内向可分为四种类型。
The four types of introverts can be vaguely described by the traits:
根据不同特质,内向型性格可粗略地分为四种:
social, thinking and anxious and anxious restrained.
社交型、思考型、焦虑型以及焦虑克制型。
Social Introverts
社交型内向者
The belief that social introverts dislike socialization is false.
社交型内向者不喜欢社交的说法是假的。
Rather, they prefer to socialize in small groups of people they feel compatible with and comfortable around,
相反,他们喜欢在小群体中社交,他们乐于和自己觉得舒适且和谐的人待在一起,
such as close friends or their family circle. Thus, they're not exactly shy or reserved.
比如亲近的朋友或家人。因此,他们并不是完全害羞或高冷。
Thinking Introverts
思考型内向者
These are people who remain introverts in their thinking process,
还有些人的思维过程很内向,
causing them to be more thoughtful and self-reflective.
这让他们更加深思熟虑且常反思。
For instance, they can get lost in their own dream world. Drowned in creativity and imagination.
例如,他们会迷失在他们自己的梦境中。沉浸在创造和想象之中。
Anxious Introverts
焦虑型内向者
Anxious introverts prefer to be alone because they feel uncomfortable or unsuitable during social gatherings
焦虑型内向者喜欢独处,因为在社交聚会中他们会感到不安或不适
as they're not confident about their social skills.
因为他们对自己的社交能力不自信。
Consequently, they are likely to choose solitude but sometimes even solitude may not reduce their anxiety.
因此,他们有可能选择孤独,但有时独处无法减轻他们的焦虑。
These introverts tend to minimize anxiety by ruminating on things
这类内向者喜欢通过反思自己在社交场合中犯的错误
that could've gone wrong had they been in a particular social context.
来减少自己的焦虑。
Restrained Introverts
克制型内向者
These are people who take time in everything they do whether it's socializing or springing up in action.
他们会慢慢的做自己的所有事情,不论是社交还是行动。
They may seem slow since they think more carefully before they speak or act
他们或许看起来很慢,因为他们在说话或行动前会更加仔细地思考一番
and are more passive in nature than the active types
