Hot air & no filter: 3 Ways Extroverts Differ From Us Introverts - a Primer

Ever listened to someone & thought they were talking a load of hot air?

Turns out that the brains of introverts and extroverts are wired differently. We need different things to feel satisfied: we introverts like time alone in our heads while extroverts thrive in the outside world.

Here's what that looks like:

#1 Extroverts talk before processing their thoughts

Unlike the considered opinions that introverts finally share with the world, extroverts have no filter. They literally say whatever comes into their heads, often putting their foot in their mouth along the way!

#2 Extroverts prefer a breadth of conversation

Extroverts need newness to keep their brains stimulated so you will see them happily hop from one subject to another which makes them ideally suited to small talk types of conversations.

#3 Extroverts share all their secrets

Be careful of who you share your top secret "don't tell a soul' type of information because despite their best efforts, extroverts are likely to blurt it out in a fit of enthusiasm.

Forewarned is forearmed!
