There has been some widespread fallacy about Extroverts that I have found trending almost across the Social Networking sites these days..--
Being an Extrovert, I wanna talk about some of them; and here they go--
1. Myth--Extroverts enjoy small talks--Well, this is so impractical and senseless. I mean seriously.
-Fact:--first, what do you mean by small talks? When you talk about others, or you dovetail some stories about someone with that of your own?
Sorry, I do neither. yes I am interested to know people more, but that doesn't mean we have that time and mentality to tally their stories with some conceived notions of my own.
2. Myth--Being loquacious; talking to everyone and anyone, and that too much--Fact--Cumm'on we have our own niche'--- Like I never connect/talk/even bother to speak to people I don't find a vibe with. It's easy to think of extroverts in a negative light -- people think they speak before they think and that they're overly concerned with the superficial. It's not true! Extroverts are just as intuitive and thoughtful as they can be--nothing apart from this.
They generally have good social skills (...generally) and can be quite the go-getters.
3. Myth--Extroverts do not enjoy solitude, and like to be around with someone (..and keep on blabbering) every time---
Fact--Ha ha! Not at all. Extroverts like to have their own space. We love us--Extroverts do need this type of time time to recharge. But they need it in “shorter doses and in different ways,” --And this I call my "bliss of solitude" when i do this, I totally get disconnected from the social media for few days (longest has been 3 months..but I now few extrovert friends of mine who have been for more than year or so)---take a brief dip into my own self, self-introspection, talk less to friends, more family time.. etcetera
4. Myth--Extroverts are party--freaks
Fact: I am an extrovert, and I am not addicted to that loud music and whatsoever. On the flip-side, I don't even shy away from the same. these are few pre-conceived notions that introverts have, that we are just aprty-animals, but that's not true--NOT at all!! Thing is we do what we are supposed to do at the right time and the right place, While we can go and dance at a party and be the centre of attention, we can also ignore numerous party-invitations, sit back in the home, and complete an entire book (I do this, i am a voracious reader).
5. Myth--Extroverts are bad listeners--
Fact--Extroverts can be incredible listeners, because they draw people out by their open-ended questions and paraphrasing,(and which introverts cannot do)--Extroverts are able to develop rapport with others and know how to make people comfortable, that all. Just because we feel at ease, and maybe they speak up more, maybe they get the party started. ---(and also because you don't talk when they do)--does not substantiate that they are shallow and bad listeners.
6. Myth--We make more friends due to our loquacious nature--
Fact: I have around 500 people in my friend list (and more in the Blocked list :p) in my facebook profile, whom I have categorized differently. And to add to it, I have kept much among them in the restricted list coz, I am just not interested to know about their lives nor I am well-with to have them know me.
It is -Just because extroverts socialize with several different people and can hang out with someone different every day, doesn’t mean they don’t have those few close friends they confide in. By having a handful of close friends and tons of acquaintances, extroverts are guaranteed to have someone to hang out with if their good friends aren’t available for a Saturday night out.
7. Myth--Extroverts need to be the Centre of attention
Fact--Oh Plz! they are by default the centre of attention. Well, when you are at ease to speak up, obviously people will look up to you. And it is their general character, not that they ought to be desperate on that part. Because they like interacting with lots of people in stimulating environments, extroverts can let their personalities shine by being the outgoing, confident and sociable people they are.
8. Myth--Extroverts do not have feelings--
Fact: we Do not like Any DRAMA with feelings thats all !--that Nautanki never plays a part in our lives. What is gone is gone--!! We do not look back and invite the New.
Having said that does not substantiate we do not have our share of concerns. yes our habits and sometimes bad habits) do put us in danger sometimes.
----The definition of an extrovert is someone that recharges when they're around people. That's all. They're totally capable of deep thought and being good listeners.
Moral of the Story--Both introverts and extroverts are on the same boats having their individual share of pro's and con's --Hence let's shove off our pre-conceived nothing, coz we are on the same track ! :)

- Like when we speak up in the public, we become NOT the centre of attention, but the centre of rage.
- Just because extroverts tend to be bubblier or high-energy, it doesn’t mean they are happier people. --as we share a lot of so-called acquaintances, we sometimes become the centre of small talks, twisted talks and thus ----well, u can understand !
- We do sometimes embarrass myself in public, because I just can’t seem to STFU. --and hence sad story follows. !
- And the most difficult situation comes when we really start liking an Introvert, and never get an awaited response from them --That's frustrating I admit !
- Being told "to stop" ; "to Calm down" is sometimes so annoying or "why can't you keep quiet"--just when we vociferate our concerns about something. !--Now that's annoying.
