What is the difference between introverts and extroverts?
Source:the Brain of introverts and extroverts work differently
For decades, scientists are trying to explain the difference between those of us who love to be surrounded by people, and those who do avoids. In recent decades the situation has cleared up a little — it became known that extroverts and introverts in different works . The important conclusion from this — to change yourself from introvert to extrovert and Vice versa will not work. That is, how many books of Dale Carnegie on how to make friends, read introverts, nothing good will come of it. And if I succeed, then problems will not keep itself waiting long.
Effect of dopamine
If, instead of having to go to a party where all your friends you stay at home reading your favorite book or watching the show, the first thing you need to understand — you're all right. But if you are an extrovert, don't have to drum up his friends, introverts to such events. For them there is not really good. And to blame the brain.
One of the major differences between the brains of introverts and extroverts is how we react to the neurotransmitter dopamine. Dopamine — is a chemical released in the brain that provides motivation for receiving external benefits, such as earning money, climbing the social ladder, the involvement of the assistant or the selection for participation in big projects at work. When dopamine floods the brain, as introverts, and extroverts become more talkative, alert and ready to explore the environment. But why introverts prefer solitude?
Even more amazing facts about the brain you will find on .
Not everyone likes to constantly receive stimuli from the outside
Not to say that introverts have less dopamine in the brain than extroverts. In fact, introverts and extroverts have the same amount of dopamine. The difference lies in the activity of the chain of rewards for dopamine. For extroverts the noise and the crowd at the concert are not just part of the fun. In fact, these incentives from the outside are used for their signal that they reach their goal — awards for fellowship and fun night. But introverts do not feel comfortable due to the use of another brain neurotransmitter — of acetylcholine. Like dopamine, acetylcholine is associated with pleasure. The difference lies in the fact that acetylcholine helps us to relax.
Excessive dopamine causes introverts anxiety, so they try to retire. Privacy gives introverts a sense of relaxation as their body begins to produce acetylcholine. And extroverts are more sensitive to dopamine than acetylcholine. That is why they require more external stimulation.
Why introverts are so few?
If you look closely at modern society, it will become obvious that the world belongs to extroverts. In school and University and at work surrounding assess your communication skills. Try not to come to the next party, as you will immediately call the chief with questions about why you want to communicate with colleagues. And how many do not explain about the differences in the compensation system, you still strongly recommend to join in the General merriment. The team is the same.
According to UN estimates, by 2030 the company will employ graduates based on their ability to communicate with others. And only secondarily the employer will pay attention to the possession of professional skills. But the General level of education will be to interest them in the least.
Privacy and acceptance — the key to happiness introvert
Given all the above, scientists advise introverts to accept themselves. Attempts to change yourself from introvert to extrovert overload the nervous system, the result of which may cause different diseases. To change others we can not afford, but you can change the attitude to yourself. Understanding of their characteristics and acceptance — here is the key to a healthy and happy life introverts.
And extroverts should treat your introverted friends, colleagues and relatives with understanding. Not all of us get pleasure from prolonged contact or stay with other people. You need to allow introverts to be who they are — secluded thinkers, mathematicians, astrophysicists, writers. In the end, they make our world more beautiful.
