How To Become A Charismatic Introvert
I think people get being extroverted and introverted confused a lot. Not in terms of them mixing up the two but rather in what they mean on their own.
Being introverted does not mean being shy. It does not mean being secluded, holding back or being awkward to be around.
Being introverted simply means that you need more time for yourself because you tend to get more exhausted by social interactions.
This means you can absolutely be charismatic and introverted at the same time! They are not characteristics that are mutually exclusive.
As an introvert you only have to pay attention to one extra thing over extroverts, and that is your own well-being.
If you are in social situations too long you will become exhausted, grumpy and even aggressive at times.
Know your limits, know when you need to take time off and when you need to say ‘No’ so that you can invest all your energy into the social interactions you do have.
The above is the only difference; Other than that, becoming charismatic will be the same for an introvert as an extrovert. For just because you charge your energy by being around others does not mean you will automatically be liked by everybody.
