9 Comforting Things Introverts Would Like To Hear 

What are some comforting things that you would like to hear? Comment below.

"It is very satisfying when someone acknowledges the mental and emotional work that introverts put into their thoughts. " Exactly!!

Being somewhat of an introvert, what I would appreciate is for people to recognize that I do possess feelings just like everyone else. But I seem to keep them locked up and do not exhibit them as easily! \🕶/

Time Stamps: 1. Words Of Appreciation: 0:27 2. Are You Ok?: 1:12 3. Compliment The Way They Think: 1:54 4. I Love The Way You Are: 2:35 5. Thank You For Your Insight: 3:13 6. I Feel So Comfortable Around You 4:03 7. You Were/Are Right: 4:49 8. You Can Go Whenever You Like: 5:30 9. I'm Here For You: 5:56

"I feel so comfortable around you" I've heard it from every person I've known (not many, but a lot for me) It really helped me a lot, I used to doubt myself so much I even was prepared to isolate myself, and then people would save me with this I feel comfortable around you too my dear friends ❤️ you saved me

As an introvert, I can confirm that these are not specific to introverts. Everybody likes their thoughts, opinions, contributions or existence acknowledged and commended. As an introvert, the things I truly appreciate are 1- When others initiate the conversation, because initiating conversation for us is a true hassle. We are socially awkward, and very rarely nail the right intro. And then we replay the thing in our heads for weeks, sometimes years about how we made a complete moron out of ourselves. Just save us the trouble. Say hello. We'll be receptive and appreciative. 2- When others ask us out to go hang out, because even though we would like to hang out with friends, for us it's very challenging and draining mentally to ask that question. 3- When we are left alone for our "me time". I'm an introvert and you know it. I'm not comfortable with constant socializing. So while I appreciate that you want me to be an active part of your life, it would also be great to leave me alone to rest my nerves every now and then. 4 - Furthermore, parties are not my scene. I can tolerate joining one or two once a year for special occasions, but if you don't ask me to go to every single party on the block with you this weekend that would be great. 5- When I have something to say once a blue moon, and it is actually listened. I don't speak much, so when I do, it's because I have something good or something important to say. I wouldn't otherwise even attempt. I like to stay quiet. I'm an introvert. 6- When people recognize that I'm an introvert and don't ask me things like "why don't you have more friends". I don't ask you how many of your "friends" you've spoken to in the last 3 years, so don't criticize the number of real friends that I have. Because let's be real, my 1 good friend is a much better friend to me than your 100 friends combined to you, but you don't see me rubbing that in your face. 7- Or "why are you so quiet". Like you don't know what an introvert is. Worst is, that question is mostly followed by the "then why are you an introvert" like I had a freaking choice in the matter. Don't be that person, because honestly for us such questions has the same intelligence level as "why are you a blonde". In other words, you will get looks. Pretty sure there are more, this is just off the top of my head.

Goddammit guys. This is what I needed. I'm an introvert and being surrounded by extroverts, even in my close family is draining. I really needed to know that I'm not alone and that someone out there understands me. Maybe I'll meet someone like that one day. Thank you Psych2go.

Top Comforting Things Introverts Would Like To Hear. “I love how real you are.” ... “You have an awesome personality.” ... “I love the way you think.” ... “You always know exactly what to say.” ... “I love how unique you are.” ... “You're someone I can trust.” ... “I'd love to hear your opinion on this.” ... “You're a great listener.”

To all the introverts there is nothing wrong with you. You are amazing as you are!! "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." So be your awesome self:)

i went to a teen camp for my church not too long ago. Hearing another teen who was just like me, say that they were there for me if i ever needed them... I almost cried. It's the mosst love and support ive gotten from friends since third grade.

Being an introvert, it took several years to develop meaningful friendships. Even still, I don’t think my friends have ever asked if I was okay, or said they were here for me. I don’t have bad friendships, but I have definitely put in a lot of work that wasn’t appreciated

Having a person who being there for me and actually caring about who I am is the best thing I would ever need to hear to not be alone. Even sometimes "being an introvert can be a curse and a very beautiful gift."

I would kind of disagree with number 2. Sometimes being quiet is just being quiet, or lost deep in the realms of thought. It's actually annoying to constantly be asked if you're okay. Unless you really know the introvert, are up-to-date on what's going on in their lives, and are prepared to offer help or just let them vent, the question comes of as insincerely offered or a little prying. I could be biased, of course. It's just, in my personal experiences, being asked if I'm okay is really them figuring out if I'm a problem to work around, not because they're actually concerned if I'm having problems of my own. It's like they're assessing what I can contribute today instead of what help I may need.

As a predominantly extroverted person dating an introvert, I really appreciated hearing more things to say to my partner and to know I’m on the right track already telling him things listed here. 🙏🏻

Watching this made me happy and it made my day, not just because I'm an introvert but because I've heard some of them from the people who finally understands me and care. Being asked if I'm okay really means a lot to me because the truth is not everyone asked that to me, only to those who is concerned about me.

as an introvert, i dont like being asked if i’m okay because people always think something is wrong just because im quiet which isnt true

Number 4 really spoke to me, I very much dislike it when people say something like I should be more extroverted or think I need "fixing". Introverts definitely aren't in need of fixing their introvertedness if they don't want to.

9 comforting things introverts would like to hear 1-words of apprecation 2-Are you ok? 3-Compliment the way they think 4- I love the way you are 5- Thank you for your insight 6-I feel so comfortable around you 7-You were/are right 8-U can go whenever u like 9-Im here for u

I'm an ambivert but people mostly think I'm an extrovert but treat me as an introvert. People never listen to what I have to say unless if I say something smart during any classes I have. It sucks because I'm constantly being used and never get a thank you for all the hard work I do. Even with my friends I'm ignored from time to time which is why I only show few of them what I'm truly like and what I'm capable of doing and accomplishing because they appreciate everything about me and what I do.

The “are you ok?” Makes me so happy that someone noticed I’m not and that they see it’s not just me being dramatic that it’s actually me needing help!

4:04 yes! I just heard this yesterday and... I was unsure if he even liked being around me ❤ someone who is also introvert feels as safe and at peace around me as I do around him. No romance, just quality companionship, and it is the best 😌

For me I like when people compliment me because it makes me feel good about me

I loved this sooo much!!! As an introvert and as a friend of introverts who I want to make sure they know they are loved and appreciated, this video is highly valuable 😍

I relate to everything. it is really nice to hear something positive from someone. It really does make our day.

I’m an introvert, and I often get the same compliments, occasionally from the same people. This may not be the case with all introverts, but definitely myself: the more you hear a compliment, the more insincere it feels. It lets me know that there’s only one or two aspects of my person you feel are worth something.

As an introvert, this video reassured me that people do care about me, even when I'm going through some tough times.

I relate to everything described here. We have to learn to express what we need (and learn what that is in the first place) and not be afraid to be who we are. There may be this *perceived* (i.e., not necessarily correct) expectation of how to be or how to behave in every social environment, at work for example. Imagine 5 introverts at work all thinking they need to be/act more outgoing than they actually want to. In the end you have 5 people stressing over this constantly when they could all just reflex and be themselves and feel comfortable.

#1 fits me 100%. I dislike being the center of attention. I prefer being behind the screen. But it's nice to hear once in a while that my work/deed is appreciated.

😢😢😢❤️❤️❤️ thank you... I was bawling my eyes out listening. Needed to hear this it looks like. It's hard for me to see what I need sometimes. I'm autistic with ADHD, and introverted.

It can be challenging to navigate the world as an introvert as it can often be misunderstood. Often feeling drained when in social situations or afterwards and needing time alone to recalibrate.

I love how all this is true and really positive

"I love the way you are"... Damn, I actually need to hear that. Being made to feel faulty cos you don't act boisterous in situations actually takes a toll... But hey, what can I do. Sometimes, you just gotta keep moving

I'm an Introvert, I'd always help if I can. I just want a friend to talk with everyday, a comfort person, but most of my class just go : "What's wrong with her?" "I don't want to be near her, She's weird"

That list is so on point, couldn’t agree more 🧡

Thank you for making this video, needed to hear these today :> Hope you are all having a wonderful day, take care

i love to read people emotion 🥺

This sum it all up. As an introvert, It's like I'm reading myself about how I feel about certain things and how I wanna be treated but yeah it's not always someone there for you to understand.🥺

My boyfriend’s an introvert i never even thought of his brain process in this way i wanna try it to be more supportive

Yes we need words of appreciation! I don’t really get that in my home. I started a new job a few months ago and everyone is very nice, every now and then thanking me and/ or telling me I’m doing a good job. It makes me smile every time ☺️

“Are you okay.” Always breaks me down when I hear it. If you ask me this, I will be so grateful, and probably open up to you.

I realised that everything in this video is true about me. Things I will like to hear: 1. “I feel comfortable around you”. 2. “I will always be there”. 3. Words of appreciation.

All of these made my smile as an INTJ, thank you (:

All of these r true. Especially the no escape option is really hard, I was on a party once and my friends didn't wanna leave though I actually started having physical pain from tiredness and exhaustion and I was dependent on them. It was horror to me. I am actually really blessed to found a person that is introvert himself and knows what I need and what makes me happy. He always asks me if I am okay, he tells me how much he appreciates to be with me, that he feels peaceful with me and he acknowledges my opinions on things. I feel extremely happy and understood thanks to him and not deeply lonely inside anymore.

I’m just binge-watching all of these introvert videos while coming home from vacation because SO understood it’s amazing

This information is spot on! Thank you!

This was great to listen to as an introvert and found literally all of these points spot on. Being the only few introverted people in my church I’m always felt pushed to go to events or activities with most or all of the church and when I tell them it would be draining for me and try to explain why it seems like they just can’t process that so they keep on at it and find they start pushing harder especially if it’s drawing nearer and that ends up draining also. Sorry totally just went on a rant but seriously that helped.

Oh, gosh... you were talking to me. You nailed it. All those things are true, at least to me. But also, very important, "once in a while". It's not about hearing it all the time. Dependency and low self-steem are a problem. But, once in a while... yes. I also loved that you can feel at peace when you are with some people. It's not that you are comfortable or not. It's something deeper. With some people, very few, I just feel ok. It feels right to be me.

As an introvert, I actually don't really want to be asked "Are you ok?" when I'm perfectly fine. I guess depends on the situation.

you dont even know how I am relating to this video I feel like you read my mind every each of those comforts are so true thank u so much people dont know that thing and tend to think that there is a problem with being an introvert and with one video you made my day a bit better to know that more people will know that

I have no doubt that introverts have changed my life more than most extroverts have on a more significant and life changing level, they’re like ninjas that are saving lives as they work from the shadows, and that shvt is so dope ❤️

No 7 and 8 I felt a lot, I tend to simply watch others fall into disaster and pretend I had no idea because sometimes people don't see it or acknowledge it, and then if I tell them that I saw it coming and tried to warn them I get lashed out at, and the amount of parties and events I get dragged to, makes me wanna fall into a month long coma sometimes.

I can ... relate to this. The most comforting thing ever said to me was from my elder brother last week. "Do what you feel is right." This was in direct response to me telling him that I won't be travelling interstate to attend our mother's 80th birthday as our family gatherings have not only always drained me, but the experience leaves me feeling extremely depressed due to the extremely toxic nature of many of my family members.

When one of my friend texted me and said that she was glad to have a friend like me, I started crying a happy tears because no one else ever said something like that to me

Your voice is so unbelievably soothing

I didn't knew about how an introvert feels until I became one of them.

Can relate so very much as an introvert being told that you're appreciated and important to a person, is one of the most uplifting things you can ever hear 😘🥰 Especially being told 'I love who you are' and being thanked for your insight, that is amazing in such a humbling way 😘❤💚💜 xox

For all you extroverts out there, I'm honestly happy for you all for not having such a hard time with social behaviour. Not that you guys don't have anything to worry about in your own lives, and not to sound like a victim or anything, but as a fellow introvert, may you please be so kind as to not stare in my direction when I seem awkward or shy? That would really help me and probably many others out there, thanks! Yours truly the biggest socially awkward person to ever walk this earth.

As someone who is on a spectrum and introverted this would be soooooo great! I have spent way too much time around people who just sap your energy. I wish I could make some friends like that one day. Of course I'd be that friend too for sure! Too bad I rarely leave my house nowdays ...

This video hit me deeply on an emotional level, this video is talking about the *exact* problems we have, or at least I do, can't speak for everyone.

This made me feel seen. Thank you. Anyone watching this you are valuable and loved. 💜

Very rarely i do get told some of these things and when it does happen i can confirm it does make my day

So true!! I would like someone to say these to me. Especially when you overthink and tell ppl the consequence, but then they either reject your thought or later say you said something negative that's why it happened .

Me wishing that my friends and family watch this video instead of me 😭😂 I almost want to send it to them or make them watch it, but wouldn't that be too attention-seeking? 😅

I love the relaxing voices on these videos, the abrupt cutoff of the last word rocked me harder than I expected : P

I'm an introvert, yet I do my best to be a good Person to everyone. I have an introvert friend, I always respect her ways to be silent even if I feel like she doesn't really care because more than introvert she is probably a narcissist and our affection doesn't feel like mutual.

I find you voice very comforting. Thank you

Thank you! Introverts like myself are important and valuable.

Halfway through the video and I've already decided that it needs to be shown to Silvervale's discord I'm sure some of us try to say these things unconsciously, but it's so nice to know we're helping her feel better for herself

I guess I'm more of an introvert than I realize. I'm an introvert because of childhood trauma and abuse and I always expect people to give me praise constantly because all of my life people have told me that I was stupid and that I was better off dead. I expect the world to give me praise and just be nice to me and I expect them to make a bigger effort to show me that they truly care.

Your ideas are very practical and obvious but not so obvious at the same time...will definitely try :))

I do like when my insight is appreciated but I don't know how to respond to compliments, i just say thank you but feel like it isn't enough and feel bad, for me I love it when someone listens to me talk about something I'm really interested in and ask a question that shows they listened, when people just say stuff like "oh, that's really interesting" it doesn't feel like they listened, but I'm so used to that response that showing that you listened feels like an incredible privilege now and I'm not sure if it is.

Not every introvert is like that. You somehow described an INTP or an INTJ. Cool Video!

This was great info. Happy to see I am treating my introvert well and I learned some new ways to validate them.

Also OMG THE FIRST ONE I RELATE TO IT SO MUCH- I have been in so many forced group projects, and I do all the work, and then all the talkative people get the credit because I’m just the stupid quiet person even though they did NO work. And they don’t EVER even say “thanks” and it gets me SO ANGRRYYYY- also the second one. Basically all of them I relate too and it feels very nice to be so understood

Additional stuff I like to hear as an introvert : I missed you! Take your time Don't be afraid, just ask!

I would LOVE to hear any of these. The only I've ever heard any is watching this video. Usually I hear the exact opposite of these things. The criticism and abuse versions.

Number 7 is why I often don't give advice even when I am asked for it, especially when the person asking for it has a history of ignoring advice already given.

Thank you so much 😭😭 you make me feel better and make me brave! Thank you!

thank you for making me understand more about people ❤️

as an introvert (who is rediscovering his introvertedness) i like to be appreciated for my hard work ☺️❤️

"are you okay?" Made my heart melt😣

oh thank you! just helped me thru a really bad depressed moment

Love this... Yeah, I did some of these to an introvert loved one and they work. 💖

Im an extroverted and i feel like all of these apply to me as well.

I think I am an introvert, and never heard things like this about me in my entirely life. Have you heard?

Hello new voice! I love their accent ❤️ it's so peaceful 🥰 thank you for the video! I hope to hear them again!

All of the were relatable for me and really thank you for your really good video ,I hope people around me see this video=) cause I need them so much ❤️

Thanks for this, eventhough i just heard those words from the video but somehow i feel like i have someone that really understand me 🔅

For most of my adult life, I have known I am an introvert. And, this has cost me regular friendships and romantic relationships. My current "best friend" is a HUGE extrovert, and she often criticizes me for my thinking and my mindset. At one point, I had a serious argument with her over all the above, and I said I was no longer interested in being friends (setting boundaries). A few days later, she came back and apologized for her actions and words, and we are friends again, with a better understanding of each other. Sorry about being so long-winded with this story; it just seemed relevant. Anyway, I agree with what had been said in this vid; it is nice to receive that compassion once in a while.

Love this contents, every single word or part ❤️❤️❤️

Omg this narrator's accent and voice is SOO beautiful 🥰 we would like to hear more of her narration!

I really love this video, thankyou very much

The last one so much.. i hate getting into situations were you go somewhere with a group and suddenly it's "Let's Carpool to get there" and the person driving is ALWAYS the one you know will want to stay the longest

Though I am an introvert, I do have a network of supportive people! They cant be around all of the time ! But supporters help me but also come to me so I can be there for them as well .

This was really nice. All I want to do is secluded myself for a bit at the end of the day to recharge but when my family want to talk right away and have a negative reaction to me wanting some time by myself I feel guilty and ashamed.

i related to all of this. sometimes at home i dont feel appreciated for the good i do and all of the negative things i may have done, recently or in the past, i never live down. i try to express to my family i wished theyd be more appreciative of what i do rather than always call out my mistakes, especially when it's in the PAST when i'm trying to do better TODAY. my parents just assume i'm just whining from attention and remark why do i need to be validated for what i do when thats furtherest from the truth. w/ all that being said, i also sometimes feel heard but not listened to whenever i try to explain why i'm upset, and it just leads me to getting more frustrated and agitated as a shouting match between myself and my parents ensues which follows up w/ a sharp decline in my mood and me just clamming up. i am also sometimes forced to interact during social gatherings because my family believes i'm being "anti-social" since i prefer to be surrounded by ppl i know or just to be off in a corner by myself to read, watch videos or play games on my handhelds. whenever i am off alone, my parents always come over and scold me to be more sociable, dragging me alone behind them to introduce me to ppl and/or telling me to go hang out w/ anyone my age at the location. this is not to say my family are neglectful or anything like that (like they do sometimes praise me for my thought processes/observations and compliment me from time to time as is suggested in this video), but i do feel like they dont truly understand introverts. theyve known ever since i was a little girl i was very quiet and shy, preferring to relax alone, or just having fun w/ my family and/or friends/ppl i know. now that i'm older, i'm very much a ppl-person and i joke i'm an extroverted-introvert since i love helping and being around ppl (that i know), but i tend to be very quiet, observant and borderline distrusting at first, especially after ive dealt w/ bullying when i was around 10 - 13. this does beg the question now what extroverts find comfortable. i mean, i feel like itd be obvious, and it probably should be, but ive met some extroverted friends who dont have a "night life" nor are interested in going to fast-paced, energetic and wild locales w/ a bunch of ppl...and, even if they are the type, they tend to confess to me and other friends they get just as drained as introverts do at times. i'd love to see a vid about how extroverts feel and think as is presented in this vid, or, if theres already one, if someone could point me in the right direction 😄

This video hits on so many levels. I’m an extroverted introvert. I can socialize with people to a point, but when I need my alone time, I really need my alone time. People don’t understand how my mind works because of it. And it’s frustrating. I’ve been told that I’m not introverted when I’m obviously am and those comments hurt my psyche.

I’m and extrovert but my bf is an introvert and I tell him most of these things every day ❤

These are very relatable to me

I get anxious when talking to certain people that are assholes who disregard what they do. They always assume that you are doing something different when in fact you are doing something noble and kind even if you don't like them.
