"Introverts" The new way to beat Covid-19

The World has reached a tipping point on COVID-19, with governments implementing new restrictions on where consumers can travel, how many can gather in any given location and requiring restaurants and bars to shut their doors in the hopes of slowing the spread.

For all the actions these governmental bodies have taken to restrict consumers’ movements, most consumers have already changed their routines to avoid it, on their own free will.

On March, 2020, for the sudden increase in number of cases of Covid-19 brief series, surveys say census-balanced panel of more than 2,000 consumers have learnt more about how they changed their daily lives in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. How concerned were they about the risk of contagion? How did this fear change the way they chose to live their daily lives before state and federal governments began shuttering stores and restaurants?

There is no clear answer to these questions, in part because every consumer segment seemed to have had a different reaction to news of the outbreak.

There has also been a mental pressure on all the people living away from family, the concern for their loved ones never stops, but luckily due to social media we are able to keep in touch in a more better manner.

Now my office colleagues and I have been living under one roof for more that a year now, where we don’t usually get time to catchup on regular times because of our office schedules and different projects responsibilities. But we always use to find a place to visit in a group at least once in a month or two. Now with this Pandemic in action we all have shifted into our flat for Work from home. We don’t have the option of going out anymore, but how are we still managing to be sane? Well I for one can say have been a introvert most of the time, and now Being Introvert is what balances us.

FAMILY AWAY FROM FAMILY :) :)

Now back to the point. So:

1. Introverts are good listeners.

Introverts listen before they speak. They watch from the sidelines and take some mental notes before they insert themselves into any social situation. This preparation allows them to enter a conversation confidently, without stumbling over their words or doubting the accuracy of what they say. Now being a bunch in one location 24x7 we are starting to listen each other.

2. Introverts are self-sufficient.

Introverts are not dependent people. They believe it is foolish to depend on another person to take care of their material needs. This freedom makes them feel empowered, because they know they can manage any curve ball that life might throw at them.Now being in a group also helps find faster solutions, and when you also have your company Management trying to give all the comfort you need and don’t face in problem, then its just the cherry on top of the cake. Our Management has been taking care of every bit so that we the office members stay strong in this situation. I can’t explain much more in words how much this means to all of us.

3. Introverts are super focused.

Introverts concentrate with everything they’ve got. They make a point of paying attention to nonverbal cues that might reveal hidden meanings, because they know words are only half of the story. This ability helps them avoid potential misunderstandings. Everyone has been giving their best.

4. Introverts are easy to please.

Introverts don’t need much to feel happy and content. They would rather stay home and enjoy a good book or bubble bath than go to a loud bar and buy expensive drinks. This distinction helps them save money and relax after stressful days. Now we have been cooking three meals of day in our kitchen and are quite pleased to have the simple food.

5. Introverts are very observant.

Introverts identify changes in their environment very quickly. They will probably be the first person to notice a new haircut. This often causes their friends and coworkers to thank them for being so thoughtful. The views that we use see just for some seconds, now we are spending a good amount to take it in and enjoy and observe the views peacefully.

6. Introverts are good at studying.

Introverts believe knowledge is power. They are intensely interested in the things that they care about and want to learn everything they can. This eagerness helps them become experts in their fields. It has given many of us the opportunity to get back to our unfinished and half red books. Many of us have also been trying to improve on new software skills.

7. Introverts are thought-provoking when you get them talking.

Introverts have interesting things to say. They might not be fans of small talk, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be engaging in a deep discussion. This distinction is a common source of confusion. Introverts are often considered to be “quiet,” but that’s not because they don’t like people. They just don’t like to talk about trivial things. Introverts are passionate people who want to make the most of their days, so they’d rather not waste their time with a shallow conversation. If you want to find out how fascinating an introvert can be, simply ask them an intelligent question about a topic that they care about.

Do you see any of these traits in yourself?
