5 Tips To Maintain Healthy Introvert- Extrovert Relationship

Introverts are kind of people who don`t easily open up, neither about their feeling for the one whom they love. While, on the other hand, Extroverts confess any and every feeling they hold for someone. Maintaining a relationship among these two is definitely a tough thing, which require communication and compromise. Here we are with some tips to maintain a healthy relationship.

Be Specific

It means you need to clear about what you want to do or don`t. If your objective is to stay on your own turf and your partner`s is to get to know her BFF`s new boyfriend, maybe you can satisfy everyone by having the two of them over for beers and board games.

Explain Your Mind

We`re complicated animals; it`s rarely as simple as " I`m an introvert, I hate other people " or " I`m an extrovert, I hate being alone." There are probably specific circumstances that make crowds or solitude easier or harder for you to deal with. Knowing what`s a "maybe" and what`s a "hard no" for your partner makes it easier to find middle ground.

Quality Time

One-on-one time together is crucial for any romance, but introverts and extroverts often have different ideas of what that should look like. What makes you feel connected to your partner? Snuggling up in front of a classic movie? Going on a long bike ride together? Hours of gymnastic, neighbor-annoying sex? Don`t assume the answer is the same for everyone — you may be feeling like, "We never do anything together," while your partner thinks you`re in paradise because there`s nothing better than reading your separate books side-by-side every evening. Talk about what both of you need to make your time together feel like a valuable and refreshing break.

Friendship Goals

There`s a good chance that if you`re in an introvert-extrovert relationship, your extrovert brought along a broad network of friends and casual acquaintances, while your introvert came equipped with only a few very close friends. This leads to a fun spiral: extrovert wants to go out with friends, extrovert drags introvert along, introvert feels left out, introvert avoids social engagements, thus failing to become friends with extrovert`s friend group and making future socialization less and less likely.

Compromise

Sometimes compromise means we do something that`s in between the things we both want to do, like getting together with a small group of friends instead of going to a huge party, or staying in and reading. Sometimes it means we do my thing tonight and your thing next weekend.
