Communication Skills


Introverts are great listeners, readers and writers. The Internet was invented just for introverts!

If you want to get your point across to an introvert, put it in writing even if you have to go out of your way to find an excuse for writing it! Then give them plenty of time to think about it. If possible, wait until they bring it up themselves even if it takes a week.

Now that eMail exists, take advantage of this opportunity to send it to your favorite introvert in writing! They will appreciate it more than you can imagine.

If an introvert writes something to you rather than saying it, don't be insulted. This is their preferred means of communicating.

Introverts are excellent listeners. They really take the time to tune in and they aren't just using the spaces as a way to frame their next comment about themselves! Most introverts will not interrupt or rush an answer. Don't assume because they are quiet, that they agree with you. This is a serious error. If it's important, ask them point blank what they are thinking. Then be prepared to wait as long as it takes for an answer (sometimes a day or two). Wait patiently and politely. This is called giving someone else "space".
