6 Things Introverts Need in a Partner

If you consider yourself an introvert, what are some qualities that you look for in a potential partner? As introverts, it can be very hard to find a partner, because we are naturally quieter in nature. We prefer alone time to recharge. And because of that, having a partner might become draining. Do you find yourself relating to this? Perhaps, this video can share some insights on the traits of partners that would be compatible for you?

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.

[@melroze8502]

This whole comment needs to be in a book fr fr

[@JohnSmith-nj9qo]

Hit the nail on the head. I absolutely cannot stand small talk. It's just people talking for the sake to talking. Nothing new or interesting is being communicated or learned, it's literally just noise designed to ruin the peaceful silence.

[@link_team3855]

reminds me... Plenty of songs use... well maybe not plenty but *some* use loudness // silence as an instrument (more with less, its allways better)

[@brandonvallier4214]

I always find it weird how uncomfortable so many people are with a little silence. For some it seems they can't just stop and think to themselves and for others it appears to almost completely set them on edge like pointless talking is a drug and they need their fix. I've noticed a lot get so bored with a measly 10 seconds of silence that you can practically see them having an internal struggle.

Omg I’m not even kidding I was so introvert and never talked to anyone at school and always felt awkward…. Then the first month of school I got a crush on this girl (I still have and have been crushing on her for 1 year and a half) and more time passed, we became best friends and she made me feel extroverted and like I could talk to anyone without being awkward.

Hello?

[@TLLC2004]

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.

[@minor_2nd]

Just explain it to them. Either they'll understand or at least try to, or they're not the one for you.

[@solenaperezlandazuri4315]

I would like to know if introverts send mixed signals when dating, one day it seems very into it but other days just don't reply o start a conversation. It's hard to know if is better let him go or just wait, or ask.

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.

[@anonymousplayer8174]

Since you and your spouse are both introverts, both of you are compatible with each other, this is why your relationship works so well

[@MufflesTheGerbil]

As an introvert I've always despised small talk and love taking things slow whenever I'm in a relationship.

[@SpinalWall16589]

I think I’m overly introverted, because for some reason I feel the need to fully back out of all the relationship stuff or just completely avoid it. And now I just think I should just push away anyone who does try to start a relationship with me for my and mostly their sake.

[@LegendaryXXL]

my MBTI classifies me as 96% introverted on the first test and 100% introverted on the second test i dont know if this is a problem or not.?

[@SkyHize]

@@SpinalWall16589 Usually that's not the case. No matter how much introverted you are, it's more probable that you may have problems with love and relationships. Perhaps you find yourself unlovable or you don't think you deserve to be happy. There should be other videos about this subject that might help you. Keep searching for the cause because I don't think it's about introversion.

[@natashamathews6182]

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

Pure understanding.

Srsly tho, I really agree with your comment

[@non-shockingtopics7563]

Honestly same, what you just described (the cuddling, watching a show together) is legit some of the best stuff I've ever experienced, I'm recently single so can't really look forward to that for a while :( It's all I want though, I've been trying to see if some of my friends would be down because I miss it that much.

[@---nd9en]

Uhh same 😩😭 I’ve tried dating extroverts but one of them thought I was “boring” … It hurt but honestly I feel like they just didn’t stick around to see ALL of me . The part that yes is an introvert , but when I get comfortable enough around someone I can be talkative at times & more expressive. It just takes the right one I guess to actually stay and be able to see my biggest secret ( my personality) . & if their lucky enough they may be able to see it one day … one day God willing though 🙂

[@CyrreniumYT]

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...

[@CyrreniumYT]

@SpeedMan91 Same.

[@LeTtRrZ]

@SpeedMan91 This sounds more like insecurity than introversion. I think the best solution is to try to seem as approachable as possible, which for an introvert is easier said than done. Any mature adult will eventually give you explicit feedback. Anyone who doesn't is either not worth your time or has been trained by you not to provide feedback.

[@solenaperezlandazuri4315]

I think it's just about comunication, just let others know that you care about them but you simply need time. Because for an extrovert it's difficult understand introverts silence. It's just about don't let the other person asume that you Don care. I think introverts are awesome .

[@rondasmith4037]

WOW!!! I'M EXACTLY LIKE THIS!!! I worry alot, which is why Communication is VERY Important to me!!! I immediately start thinking that something is wrong or maybe I did or said the wrong thing and didn't explain myself clearly!!! I just get LOOPTY-LOO CRAZY!!! Introverts are definitely crazy!!!😅😅😅 ( in a jokingly way)!!! After getting crazy worried, I need to recharge because it was so intense!!!

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.

[@non-shockingtopics7563]

What I won't compromise for in a partner: 1. Fierce loyalty - If there's one thing above anything else that I want from another person, it's this. Especially after my recent breakup. 2. Emotional support - If you're there for me I'll be there for you, always 3. Physical love - Be ready to give & receive a lot of it quite often 4. Comfortability - We should be able to share anything we want, interests, hobbies, feelings, random thoughts, etc and not feel judged. 5. Humor - When the imposter is sus you'll get hit by the 10 o' clock bus.

[@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.

[@UniqueliAnimationsSN]

Totally same but backwards lol. Im an extrovert (ENFP/ENTP). Im very outgoing and loud, most of the time there are so many goals i want to achieve but often time im distracted (ADHD). I'd love a partner who can keep me in line and is also passionate in what they do. People with passion is important to me and as an ENFP (literally called campainer lol) I wanna be there to boost them and help them whenever theyre down.

Shyness goes along with being an introvert. It's not directly linked but it is pretty common. And depression has nothing to do with introverted/extroverted. It's something both suffer from. I am an introvert, and there have been points in my life where I was depressed. I lost my enjoyment for things I love. Just in my case that's music, fish, and being in the water, or enjoying the highlands of my home. Rather than partying, or socializing.

[@AshenTechDotCom]

@@rayvaul3539 im some body who can go either way depending on the situation, and my mood, as one friend loved to put it, im the best example of an extroverted introvert she had ever met... i mostly just keep to myself, and have since figuring out that, i didnt really fit in with most of my peers, but, around like minded people... or people who just share some interests, quite the opposite... the sad part is... how few people can... relate or empathize these days... with those of us who just... dont find the typical activities so many love like clubbing/bars/etc, enjoyable.. i hate "noise" and thats all you get from such places, i mean at least at cons, all the noise isnt mixed with annoying "dance" music... anyway...yeah.. honestly i find most introverts are extroverted given the right excuse... even seen people you could assume might be mute... go full motormouth when they realized somebody shared their interest and they wouldnt get weird looks or teased about it.. well no more then any of us teased friend group members for our interests.. (aka never with malice, just friends teasing friends..sometimes over shared interests.. like when you and your geek/nerd friends sit around and somebody says "godsdamnednerds" or similar.. talking about yourself and your friends.. this was far from uncommon among my friend group...) and thanks for timestamps...

4. is totally wrong take. the CORE thing of introverts is that they NEVER wanna be alone. difference between introverts and extraverts is... that extraverts are light-headed people that easily switch between activities and hang out with different people, some kind of "social ADHD", they think about everything less, depend on everything less, so they also endure loneliness better. on the other hand, introverts have deep mind, by default they lack social activity and support, making them need it 24/7, from a someone whom they trust. so, normally, its vice versa, extraverts are those who need to take breaks from social activity to restore emotional stability (communication takes its toll, u know), while introverts stick to the person they love 24/7 and NEVER take breaks coz they need constant feeling of support of the only entity in the world that matters to them. if your partner is a REAL introvert - NEVER leave them alone, it will break relationships faster than anything else. an introvert will NEVER want to be alone, for even a couple of minutes, if they want - its not an introvercy, it is straight up a mental disorder.

[@cutieoui7772]

As someone whos been treated as the "disliked family member" contrast to my "liked" older sister, the reason why i wanted a partner is because i wanted to feel some company from all these loneliness i felt all my life. I dont like to be touched, i dont want to open to them, i only rely on myself, i just want to feel that theres someone's presence. I have all these people around me but it feels like im all alone. I know that wishing this will not make the relationship work so im also prepared to let them go.

[@KibaSnowpaw]

As an introvert myself, I found this video very insightful and relatable. I agree with most of the points that were made, especially about the need for space, understanding, and respect. I think these are essential for any healthy relationship, but especially for introverts who tend to get drained by social interactions and need time to recharge. However, I also think that some of the things that introverts need in a partner are not exclusive to introverts. For example, having shared interests and values, being supportive and encouraging, and communicating honestly and openly are important for any couple, regardless of their personality type. I don’t think that introverts should limit themselves to only dating other introverts or people who fit a certain criteria. Sometimes opposites attract and complement each other well. I also think that introverts should not use their personality as an excuse to avoid challenges or compromise in a relationship. Sometimes we have to step out of our comfort zone and try new things or meet new people for the sake of our partner. Sometimes we have to be more expressive and attentive to our partner’s needs and feelings. Sometimes we have to work on our own issues and insecurities that might affect our relationship. I think that introverts can have successful relationships with anyone as long as they are compatible, respectful, and loving towards each other. It’s not about finding someone who meets all our needs perfectly, but someone who is willing to grow with us and make us happy. Thank you Psych2Go for making this video! It was very informative and helpful. Keep up the good work! #introvert #psych2go #relationship #personality #comment

[@serialp2895]

We don't use our personality like an excuse. We sometimes want to take the first step but we're struggling with it because we don't know what to say nor what to do because we don't want to hurt people or because we don't want to feel ashamed in front of others.

Since you're an introvert, I wonder if you'll get married in the future or not?

[@zentesque]

I think to me as someone who consistently scored over 90% on introversion throughout my life, my biggest absolute pet peeve with any relationship is assumptions. I'm typically quiet/reserved but can be more talkative on some days than others with my close circle, however, when people make an assumption about what that (or anything else I say or do) means and just run with it instead of asking or just assuming the best intention, that really gets on my nerves - primarily because I can't help but think that it's done out of arrogance based on false belief of knowing better or out of spite. I've recently started talking with a new person and them at some point asking if they did something wrong actually felt soooo so good and refreshing! I really appreciated them not being scared to ask and me having the freedom to clear myself up right then and there. Please, understand that you may know an introvert for many years and still not fully understand what's going on in their head and that's okay - as long as you don't think you're entitled to that knowledge.

[@ToshchelMonee]

I completely agree, that too is one of most biggest pet peevez.

[@HopeEsleim1101]

One of the best comments I've read so far. Assumptions really do mess things up BADLY sometimes. To truly be comfortable communicating issues or misconceptions is to know that you're with someone who is truly respectful of you and your boundaries. I will keep this in mind for the future as I know I have been plenty guilty of making assumptions before. Thank you!

[@theindecisivecrest]

I had a friend a while back who knew I was an introvert, and she reminded me to socialize at my own birthday sleepover. I get that she was trying to help I guess, but "Make sure you talk to everyone. I know you're an introvert but you don't want anyone to feel left out." T.T Just because I'm an introvert doesn't mean I can't socialize.

I’m Autistic and an Introvert. I like to be sociable, but I’m jaded thanks to years of bullying from my peers in school(my mother said I use to just go up to random people and say hi as a little kid). Pretty much everything in this video is who I want in a partner. One of my two favorite Christmas songs is “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” and in the song is the part of “tidings of comfort and joy”. I want the comfort to my joy. I’m a goofy guy who enjoys a good laugh and making people happy. But, I always have issues with Anxiety and Stress. I need someone who is willing to comfort me and calm me down when a panic attack comes along. I will obviously be there to make them smile when they’re sad or angry. Also, I live next door to my parents in the middle of the country side. I want my future wife to be okay with a simple life; quiet and peaceful. I don’t like city life. Plus, it’d be nice to make a day of driving into the city every so often, just to get some things or see the sites. I also am okay with traveling to places for vacations. Just as long as I get my quiet time. Also, I am a religious person, and go to church on the regular. I hope she’ll want to go to church with me, or at least be accepting of my faith. All in all, I want a wife who will want to enjoy spending her time with me in our nice country home, gazing at the beautiful views we have here, raising a happy family, and just being each other’s missing half.

[@ap30112002]

I'd say me and my ex are both introverts, and us sitting in silence kind of made me a little uncomfortable, because I could never tell if I was boring or we were enjoying doing our own thing. This led to me forcing some small talk, which I feel like I regret doing now, and I wish I realized that we were just spending some nice quiet time together. This video really helped me realize things about me that I haven't noticed before.

[@uenoyamaritsuka2366]

Honestly, this video actually made me feel so much more relieved and comforted. My past relationships have been tough, one of them kept complaining how silent I was, and I barely talk, like he doesn't like that about me. That made me upset, as if I'm not a good fit for them. Consequently they guilt tripped, and were so not respectful about my personal space or plans. People need to understand, for a healthy partnership, we must give one another their needed space and time. They must also know, that it isn't possible for telling them everything about what I'm doing today or who am I hanging out with. Surely I'm a loyal, but my boyfriend even used to get so jealous even if I wanted time to go out with my friends. So I'm really grateful for this wonderful video, it really made me feel calmer!

I’m definitely an introvert. My ideal partner would be someone who’s sweet, gentle, likes video games like me, and who I can fully open up to without fearing an awkward response. One of my nerdy passion topics is the idea of crossovers between universes. I’ve liked the idea ever since the original Super Smash Bros., and I like making deep stories out of crossovers. Someone who shared those interests would really make me smile!

[@non-shockingtopics7563]

Dude we should be friends, it's not really my main thing but I remember loving the idea of mixing my favorite universes and seeing how those characters would react to each other. I am also more introverted though, so I understand if your first reaction to that is "ahh I don't wanna talk to some random guy right now." (me too kinda lol) But yes, I fuckin love video games that tell amazing stories (Half Life and Halo are my favorites) and I like being there for people when they need some pick-me-ups/help, so if you're down to talk sometime I'm sure we could figure something out.

[@greatwavefan397]

Bro, no kidding. Crossovers are puzzling enough to be fascinating, but fun and casual enough to not be too overwhelming. For crossovers, I often think of how characters from other franchises would fit into Sonic Riders or Super Smash Bros.

I had honestly forgotten how it felt to be an introvert, so when I started dating my gf, I was constantly thinking something was wrong, that she was mad about something.
