What are the opposite words for extroverted?
Extroverted is a personality characteristic that describes individuals who are confident, outgoing, and social. Antonyms for the word extroverted include introverted, reserved, and shy. While extroverted people seek social interaction and love being in the spotlight, introverted individuals prefer to spend time alone, avoid attention, and may be socially awkward. Reserved people are quiet, cautious, and prefer to keep to themselves. Shy people have difficulty in social situations, are self-conscious, and often feel uncomfortable around others. It is essential to understand that personality traits are not fixed and can change over time or through experience; someone who is introverted or shy can learn to become more extroverted with practice and effort.
