    I would mostly want someone to feel free to hug, that doesnt make me feel forced to talk, but also someone that accepts me as i am dont matter my weird personality and things i love
  • As an male introvert, I just want one thing, that a woman I fall for is someone that does not expect me to be tough or really íntense all the time. Sometimes I need hugs or affection that make the sad days less difficult, I want someone who allow me to cry without thinking Im weak or less masculine for it, I want someone who treats me like a human, not just as a man

    The "someone who is comfortable with silence" one is so true. To an introvert, silence isn't golden. It's not platinum. It is diamond. I've recently heard the quote "speak only if it improves upon the silence." What extroverts need to understand is that silence is often more meaningful, and speaks "louder" than noise for the sake of noise.

    As someone who has recently "adopted" their introverted friend. I couldn't help but chuckle at how accurate your points are. This was a great listen and a nice perspective I needed to hear. <3

    1. someone is who is comfortable with silence 2. A good listener 3. Someone who values quality time 4. Someone who understands personal space and alone time 5. A love for deep conversations 6. Something who can take things slow
  • As an introvert, probably THE strongest sign of a really good relationship is that it doesn't feel draining. If you find someone who actually makes you feel extroverted, hang on for dear life and do whatever work is required. Even if it doesn't last, it will be permanently memorable. : )
  • Me and my SO are, both, introverts. We started dating 3 months after we met. Officially started our relationship a fortnight after we first kissed. We spend a lot of time around ourselves, and in private places. Seeing movies and enjoying a co-op game. I love it, and love how our relationship is mainly based on communication and caring.

    As an introvert, one of my biggest concerns on dating is my partner misinterpreting my alone time as me just not wanting to be with her. I sure hope I find someone who understands that some people need to recharge by having some alone time.
  • As an introvert I've always despised small talk and love taking things slow whenever I'm in a relationship.
  • @sniggs101
    My fiance and I are both introverts. Around friends and general people, we do not talk, we enjoy just being to the side and listening to conversations. When it's just the 2 of us though we both chatter non stop over the most random things including the conversations that we listened to... its like when no one else is around we become extroverts together

    As an introvert, who recently had to leave a rocky relationship, I realized these were all things I noticed I was missing from my relationship and constantly struggled to get. The fact that this shows there are people out there who mesh with me gave me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.
  • @khalilahd.
    There’s nothing better than finding someone you can sit in silence with 💜
  • @evey89
    I'm an extrovert (ENFP to be precise) and I've been in a relationship now for a couple months with an introvert and many times I've thought I'd done something wrong when it just turned out to be nothing. Taking things slow is a huge struggle for me but I can honestly say that it has made the experience so much better and I think has made us much closer. This video intrigued me because I wanted to see what else I could do and I'm comforted in knowing that I am doing all these things. Ultimately, the advice I would give to another extrovert dating an introvert would be to have patience and understanding and try your best not to jump to any conclusions.

    As a male introvert, this is true! Sometimes I just don't feel like talking, socializing, or hanging out. Maybe I just want to relax, and have some quality time with my love ones! I do enjoy taking things slow, cause anytime I'm in a quick relationship, it ends with them rushing and not liking anything about me, which puts me down and makes me worried about opening up about myself... Another thing for me, is if you leave me alone without a reason, I worry...and like A LOT...so if you're gonna do something at least let me know when you'll come back..! Cause then I would think for HOURS if I did something wrong...

    i love how you allow your artists to insert references to different media! It adds so much personality to each video!
  • @Trippy324
    man, I just want someone who doesn't tell me to speak up or get mad at me for not being talkative like im used to. Someone who just wants to cuddle and watch a show while talking about whatever is on their mind with no expectations or judgment. Ive tried dating some extroverts but, they never last because im "boring".
  • @Hennessy198
    I'm not sure if I'm alone in this but honestly, as an introvert myself (INTP), I would want an extrovert for my partner. Someone to bring me out of my comfort zone a bit and help fill in the gaps that I might be missing. Basically like a yin to my yang. Of course the relationship would have to be built on trust and understanding above all else, but at least for me, having someone else that compliments my weaker points like that (and hopefully I would do the same for my partner) would be ideal.
  • @JTCF
    As an introvert and someone with mental issues, this channel is godsend in explaining what's happening with me, calming down my fears of me having overly negative traits, etc... Thank you! Great video on this too, most of the stuff is relatable to me, I notice that in myself. And I do notice discomfort when I'm not able to satisfy some of these needs...
