10 Signs an Introvert Likes You

Introversion is an often misunderstood term because people relate it so much to shyness. It actually doesn't go by a "one size fits all" definition, as it can be categorized into four different types:

Social Introverts

The belief that social introverts dislike socialization is false. Rather, they prefer to socialize in small groups of people they feel compatible with and comfortable around, such as close friends or their family circle. Thus, they're not exactly shy or reserved.

Thinking Introverts

These are people who remain introverts in their thinking process, causing them to be more thoughtful and self-reflective. For instance, they can get lost in their own dream world, drowned in creativity and imagination.

Anxious Introverts

Anxious introverts prefer to be alone because they feel uncomfortable or unsuitable during social gatherings, as they're not confident about their social skills. Consequently, they are likely to choose solitude, but sometimes even solitude may not reduce their anxiety.

Restrained Introverts

These are people who take time in everything they do, whether it's socializing or springing up in action. They may seem slow since they think more carefully before they speak or act and are more passive in nature than the active types.

Now, you've probably come across an introvert in your life and labeled him or her as so, by identifying a trait that fits in one of the above types. So, how do you know whether an introvert likes you or not?

  1. Making the First Move

    Generally, introverts don't make the first move in a social context. But if you find that an introvert is actively making an effort to talk to you or making a gesture to grab your attention, you can bet he or she likes you.

  2. Opening Up

    Introverts are not easy to crack. It takes time for them to come out of their shell and open up about themselves. However, if an introvert is telling you a lot about themselves, you are definitely someone they want to connect with.

  3. Observing

    As introverts are good observers, they're not quick in making friends or including people in their social circle. If you find that an introvert is building a good relationship with you, it means he or she wants to be close to you.

  4. Inviting You into Their Personal Space

    Introverts like spending time in solitude to reflect on themselves, their thoughts, and emotions. If you are invited into their personal space and asked to spend time with them, they no doubt enjoy your company.

  5. Talking About Personal Topics

    You wouldn't normally find an introvert engaging in a personal conversation. But if you come across an introvert that tells you about their likes and dislikes, interests, hobbies, ideologies, and goals, that means they like you to the extent where they feel comfortable doing things that are considered out of character.

  6. Showing Extra Care

    Introverts place high values on relationships. If an introvert is paying extra attention to you, then they consider you as part of their close circle of friends.

  7. Going the Extra Mile

    Introverts are very warm and helping people. If you find an introvert trying to do things for you without you asking for help, you are someone he or she really likes.

  8. Constantly Keeping in Touch

    Even introverts distinguish between close and personal friends. If they keep you a part of their daily lives, then you are someone special to them.

  9. Revealing Secrets

    Everyone has a secret they keep to themselves. Introverts especially are very careful about whom they reveal their secrets to. If an introvert is allowing you to know a secret part of their life, you are someone whom they really trust and like.

  10. Giving Feedback

    Introverts don't usually give others advice or feedback, as they keep most of their opinions to themselves. But if you find that an introvert is giving you honest advice or feedback, they're definitely concerned about you and your well-being.

And those are ten signs an introvert likes you. Do these traits sound like someone you know? Do you consider yourself an introvert? If so, can you relate to these traits? Let us know in the comments below.

How Sleep Positions Affect Nightmares and Dream Quality

Image
Many people are aware that sleep positions significantly affect sleep quality and comfort during the night, but not everyone knows that certain sleep positions may also increase the likelihood of experiencing nightmares. The Link Between Sleep Positions and Dreams Theresa Cheung, a dream interpretation expert and bestselling author, suggests that sleep positions can indeed influence the nature of our dreams. Although everyone dreams regardless of how they sleep, studies indicate that sleeping on the right side may lead to more emotionally expressive and healing dreams compared to sleeping on the left side, which has been linked to an increased likelihood of nightmares. This is potentially due to the added pressure on the heart when sleeping on the left side, which can lead to poorer sleep quality and a higher incidence of nightmares. Cheung explains that while left-side sleepers might be more prone to nightmares, those who sleep on their backs are also more likely to experience t

The Knife Angel, also known as the National Monument Against Violence & Aggression, is a powerful contemporary sculpture created by British artist Alfie Bradley. Standing at 27 feet (8.2 meters) tall, this striking piece is made from over 100,000 knives collected from amnesty bins and police seizures across the United Kingdom. Creation and Purpose The Knife Angel was completed in 2018 at the British Ironworks Centre in Oswestry, England. The project aimed to raise awareness about the devastating effects of knife crime and to serve as a memorial for those who have lost their lives to such violence.

The Dancing Plague of 1518

The Dancing Plague of 1518, also known as the Dance Epidemic, is one of history's most peculiar and baffling events. It occurred in the city of Strasbourg, France (then part of the Holy Roman Empire), and saw dozens of people dancing uncontrollably for days on end. The phenomenon remains largely unexplained, but it has captured the imagination of historians and researchers for centuries. This article explores the details of the event, the possible causes, and its lasting impact. Historical Context of the Dancing Plague In July 1518, a woman named Frau Troffea began dancing fervently in the streets of Strasbourg. She danced for several hours without stopping, and within a week, dozens of others had joined her. Reports suggest that at its peak, around 400 people were affected by the urge to dance. These individuals danced continuously for days, some even collapsing from exhaustion, and a few reportedly died from heart attacks, strokes, or sheer fatigue. Strasbourg in the Early
