Introvert is an adjective given to something or someone who has a behavior where it doesn't manifest as much or isn't as outgoing as other people.
Normally, an introverted person is one who has a behavior where she interacts little with other people or is always withdrawn, more focused on herself than on external relationships.
An introverted person is usually the one who is always quieter, calmer and who doesn't verbalize about their feelings or any attitude.
However, the term can also characterize or refer to something or someone who is committed or focused on accomplishing something.
Example:
“Jorge is very introverted lately. Perhaps he is dedicating himself to his studies”.
In psychology, the term refers to a person who manifests the introversion, which is a characteristic of the individual who is turned towards himself, in a way that he absorbs external information, but does not pass it on easily, that is, it thinks long before having any type of action.
Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung characterizes introversion as a personality that makes the person more observant, preferring to remain alone with their ideas when having to expose them.
Unlike extroversion, which characterizes the type of personality that is more active and can be satisfied being in contact with other people, introversion makes the individual more apathetic and distant from this context.
The term introverted may be replaced by synonyms as shy, shy, silent, closed, reserved, concentrated, thoughtful, introverted, closed, absorbed, absorbed, introverted.
