Why Introverts Make the Best Life Partners: 8 Surprising Reasons You Need to Know!

In this loud and fast-paced world, many introverts find themselves drowned out, overwhelmed, or stomped on by society. Here are eight compelling reasons to consider an introvert as a life partner.

Number one: Introverts are self-sufficient. The first thing you need to know is that introverts do not need you. They do not need relationships, and they don't need others. No, they don’t need them; they want them. So if an introvert chooses you, they want you. Wanting someone is so much more powerful than needing them. Needing someone means that once that need is met, the person is no longer necessary. To want someone, however, means there’s a conscious effort to keep that person in your life.

Number two: Introverts are loyal. Once you’re an introvert’s person, you’re their person, period. They won’t play games or flirt with others. They won’t cheat on you and won’t treat you like you’re nothing to them because, truthfully, you’re worth it all to them.

Number three: Introverts are great listeners. Introverts know what it’s like to be ignored and overlooked, so when you talk to them, you will have their full attention. For you to want to talk to them, whether to know their opinions or not, means the world. If they reply, they will have given the response a lot of thought. They won’t take your discussion lightly, and you may soon find that they know much more about you than you do about them.

Number four: Introverts have a talent for empathy. Because most of their attention resides in their heads, introverts find themselves able to connect at a deeper level quite easily. They can read others easily, especially if they know you well, and will feel your emotions as if they’re their own without having to try. They won’t respond with judgment; they’ll respond with understanding because they know what it’s like to be misunderstood.

Number five: Introverts are authentic. In today’s world, introversion is usually seen as an act of rebellion by others. Introverts know who they are and aren’t afraid to fight for it. They won’t change to please others. In their eyes, it would only be a lie and an insult to you and themselves. Never try to give an introvert what you think they want to hear. What they want to hear is the truth.

Number six: Introverts understand self-love. Introverts tend to spend a lot of time mingling with their own souls, which is why they’ll encourage you to do the same. When they see your true self, they’ll treasure it more thoroughly than anyone before, for they know what it’s like to learn to love themselves, much less another.

Number seven: Introverts can be really creative. Introverts spend so much time in their own heads that they develop unique worldviews. Not all introverts will have the same worldview, and usually, they express them through art, music, literature, or all of the above. They’d rather express themselves creatively and passionately than converse, so prepare to be shocked at the things they can do.

Number eight: Introverts can be mysterious. This will be the hardest to deal with when falling in love with an introvert. More than likely, you will always feel like they know you better than you know them. Introverts tend to keep parts of themselves hidden because emotional vulnerability is one of their greatest enemies. But for some reason, you’ll probably find this mystery alluring. Introverts are quite valuable, quite unusual, and they rarely get the chance to shine. Maybe if you look around, you’ll see one lounging in the background, watching quietly with a smile on their face. Don’t go up and try to force yourself on them; just catch their eye across the room and smile. If they return it and linger on you, come on over. If they just continue glancing around, don’t worry; it’s not personal—they’ve just got about fifty tabs open in their heads.

Who knows? If you put in the time, you could become one that’s frequently visited. So, what do you think? Be sure to leave your thoughts in the comments below.
