The 4 Types of Introverts You DIDN’T know about

As introverts, you may find that it's harder to find a significant other because you are more comfortable being alone. But do you know that as introverts, you are more fluid than you think? In fact, there are actually 4 types of introverts. A social introvert may seem more extroverted. Thinking introverts are often lost in their own world. Anxious introverts represent stereotypical traits of an introvert. And lastly, restrained introverts crave routines and don't like change. Each of these four types will help you navigate yourself to finding the right partner for you.

Comment if you consider yourself an introvert or know someone who is, comment which type you related most to.
