What is an "introverted personality"?

First, let's evaluate ourselves to see if we are "inner-consuming" people:

1. Highly sensitive and like to over-interpret other people's language.

2. Introverted, doesn’t like to communicate with others, can only digest things by himself.

3. Easily affected by other people’s words and often feel depressed.

4. There are many inner thoughts and the person likes to daydream.

5. Excessive pursuit of perfection and self-loathing.

6. Often feel tired and stressed, but actually do nothing.

7. I don’t know what I want. Even though I have a direction but haven’t started anything, I feel very tired.

If you feel that these points are very suitable for you, then you may have an introverted personality.

Internal friction is constantly consuming our enthusiasm for life and work. If we look deeper, our attitude towards internal friction is the "biggest enemy" that affects our mentality.

How to get rid of internal friction?

If you want to regain the joy of life, then getting rid of the state of internal consumption is the most important thing. The following points may help you:

0 1

Changing your mindset

Don’t let emotions influence your behavior

The "emotional ABC theory" proposed by psychologist Ellis believes that the key to people's negative emotions is not what happened, but how they think. Since emotions are subjective, instead of "thinking too much and doing too little", it is better to focus on "how to do it", change from "emotional coping" to "problem coping", and use completed work or solved problems to bring you positive emotions and avoid falling into negative emotions.

Find out the difficulties

Solve the main problem first

Thinking that every aspect must be done well, the result is often "wanting everything but getting nothing". The correct approach is to calm down, think carefully about the key points, and split them up step by step according to their importance. Use the implementation of each simple action step to replace mental exhaustion, use self-rewards to motivate yourself, promote the generation of positive experiences, and create a positive cycle.

Self-recognition

Learn to see the better self

If you are often unhappy because of what others say, or always see the negative side of something when it happens, then why not try to change your thinking from negative self-criticism to positive self-encouragement. Create a compliment list for yourself. The content can be a few small things that make you feel most accomplished that day, or the compliments others give you. A little bit of accumulation will add up to a lot. When you are anxious, take it out and look at it, and you will find that you are actually so outstanding.

Of course, the above are all emergency response measures when we are in internal friction. The formation of an internal friction personality does not happen overnight. If this personality trait has caused you psychological problems, you should seek professional help in time.
