Everyone has that one friend who’s so outgoing and sociable, it makes you tired just looking at them.
They seem to never get tired of seeing and chatting to people and being out and about in the world to the point that introverts can’t really fathom.
Extroverts can often get a bad rap because of their unreserved personalities, but there are some pretty amazing things about being an extrovert that introverts could never understand.
Here’s a list of them below:
1. Extroverts are wired for enthusiasm
Whether it’s the weekend or a dreaded Monday, extroverts will always take on the day with a smile. It seems odd that some people will find a way to enjoy everything no matter what, but that’s the reality for extroverts. The extroverted brain wants to feel gratification. It’ll find something to be enthusiastic about in all contexts.
2. A majority of extroverts are leader
Whenever you see someone in a position of power, they’re probably extroverts. Because they tend to be sociable and outgoing, they end up being the perfect leaders. No matter the setting, an extrovert will take matters into their own hands and guide everyone around them. This doesn’t necessarily mean they’re more capable than introverts. Introverts, no matter how smart, are sometimes held back from these positions by a fear of or distaste for extreme social interactions.
3. They can regulate their mood
By being in tune with their environment, extroverts’ happiness comes from external stimuli. Understanding this, extroverts have become better at regulating their mood in certain situations. No matter what’s happening around them, they tend to be able to see the positive side. Introverts can be consumed by their feelings and struggle to conquer them, though this isn’t a hard and fast rule.
4. They’re successful in workplace
Extroverts are widely liked in professional settings. Being people-pleasers, they tend to know how to act around colleagues and bosses in a way that might benefit them. They’re also motivated by rewards and will work as hard as necessary to get them. They’re very energetic and seem trustworthy, which makes bosses trust them with harder tasks, positions with more responsibilities, and leadership roles.
5. Extroverts are lucky when it comes to dating
Extroverts adore social situations. They’re not scared to start a conversation with a complete stranger. Introverts would be hyperventilating at the mere thought of having to ask someone out, or offer someone a drink at the bar. But to extroverts, all these seemingly awkward interactions are part of the game, and they are pros. Being so outspoken, they tend to stand out from the crowd, making them the obvious choice of partner. Everyone seems to gravitate towards them, and most people choose to stick with them long-term if given the chance.
6. Most extroverts don’t know what it’s like to be bored
Extroverts draw energy from their surroundings. They’re always doing something stimulating that lets them feel the so-called “experience high.” Their daily routines don’t allow for wasted time; thus, they’re never really bored. The constant need for action is something not shared by their more reserved introverted counterparts. They tend to prefer a quiet day at home over going out.
7. They’re happier and rarely let their emotions take control
This might seem unlikely, but it’s scientifically proven that extroverts tend to be happier on a day-to-day basis. Because they’re rarely alone, they aren’t prone to overthinking and being overwhelmed by worst-case scenarios. They don’t have the time to let bad thoughts spiral out of control and are rarely overtaken by their emotions. They tend to live in the moment and find a way to enjoy most of what life throws at them.
