Extroverted? Here’s How to Be Less Noisy and More Reflective

The art of gaining quiet wisdom

Hey, extrovert! Yep, I’m talking to you—the one who can’t stop talking about your wild weekend plans. Ever think about turning the volume down a notch?

No shade, but we introverts get told to “come out of our shells” all the time. So, how about you try our side of things for once?

Step one: embrace the awkward silence.

Not every quiet moment is a cry for help. It’s okay to let a pause just… exist. Silence isn’t awkward—it’s your brain asking for a snack break.

Step two: try listening (like, actually listening).

Don’t jump in with “Oh, that reminds me of this crazy thing I did!” every two seconds. Let someone finish their thought. Who knows? You might learn something cool.

And here’s the big one: spend some time alone.

I know, I know—sounds terrifying, right? But here’s the thing: being by yourself doesn’t mean you’re lonely. It’s like charging your phone—you can’t run on 1% forever.

Why bother? Because honestly, the world doesn’t need more noise. It needs people who actually think before they speak. So maybe, just maybe, try chilling out a bit. Who knows? You might even like it.
