Chances are you have lots of introverts on your team,\u00a0in your organization, at your church, or even in your\u00a0family. If you\u2019re an extrovert, here are some ways you\u00a0can help introverts. <\/p>\n

1. Give us advance warning. Don\u2019t put us on the spot for an answer or opinion. Give us time to formulate a response. <\/p>\n

2. Don\u2019t assume we don\u2019t have an opinion. We do, and it may even be the best one. But we are less likely to share our opinion surrounded by people who are always quick to have something to say and tend to control the conversation. <\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Don\u2019t assume we are unfriendly or anti-social. We may not be talking, but that doesn\u2019t mean we do not love people or that we don\u2019t want to communicate with them. Plus, we talk one at a time, so if there\u2019s someone always talking, we may not get a chance. <\/p>\n

4.Give us time to form relationships. Introverts don\u2019t form relationships fast. We may appear harder to get to know, but when we do connect, we are loyal friends with deep, intimate connections. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

5. Allow us time alone. All of us need personal time, but we require even more time alone than an extrovert. We energize during these times, not just relax. There\u2019s a huge difference. <\/p>\n

6. Don\u2019t expect us to always love or get excited about extroverted activities. The social activities where you get to meet all the cool people you do not know\u2026that\u2019s not too exciting for us. It may even be a little scary. We\u2019ll find excuses not to go, even if we know we need the experience or will have fun once we do them. <\/p>\n

7. Allow us to use written communication when available. We often prefer emails to phone calls. We are usually more engaging when we can write out our thoughts ahead of time.<\/p>\n
