An introvert is a person who tends to feel more comfortable and energized in solitary or low-stimulation environments. Unlike extroverts, who thrive in social settings, introverts often prefer quiet activities such as reading, writing, or spending time in nature. They may need time alone to recharge after social interactions. Introverts often possess strong listening skills and deep thinking abilities. They may enjoy meaningful conversations over small talk and often form close, lasting relationships with a few individuals rather than having a wide social circle. This personality trait is part of the broader Big Five personality traits framework, which includes extroversion as its opposite.
