Why Were They Keeping It Secret For So Long?


Scientists reveal why introverts prefer being alone

The introvert's brain treats interactions with people the same way it treats encounters with other, non-human information, such as inanimate objects for example,"

That sounds so cold, but I understand this intimately. That's my brain. There is more to it than that, though. If an introvert were just indifferent to people than it shouldn't matter if other people are around. But it does matter. It is stressful for the introvert to have people around- more or less depending on the person - but it is. It can get absolutely overwhelming in a group of people. Therefore, the introvert prefers to be alone because it is the only time they can really relax. It feels good to be alone.
