I'm currently reading a book-the introvert advantage. To help me to better understand myself and others and for those who are extroverts to understand us.
Interestingly the blood flow of introverts and extroverts are different.
First, in reaseach it has shown that there is more blood flow to the brains in introverts compared to extroverts.
More blood flow indicates more internal stimulation.
The pathway is more complicated and focused internally. The introverts' blood flowed to the parts of the brain involved with internal experiences like remembering, solving problems, and planning. The pathway is long and complex. The introverts were attending to their internal thoughts and feelings.
The extroverts' blood flowed to the areas of the brain where visual, auditory, touch, and taste sensory processing occurs. Their main pathway is short and less complicated.
And there are examples given in the book which shows that.
From my personal experiences, I always felt lousy that I don't think as fast and speak as fast or to verbalise more as extroverts do. But the truth is that whenever someone ask me regarding something it takes me quiet some time to generate what to say because it goes through a lot of thinking and reflecting internally. So often people would think that I'm blur/blank etc but I'm actually internalizing thoughts and feelings.
