People automatically perceive you as being a good listener, and usually you are.
Because you’re introverted, you likely shy away from conversations. However, when you do find yourself in one, you’ll likely find it as stimulating – especially when participating in a conversation isn’t the norm for you.
Being a good listener is key to building strong relationships; it makes people feel valued. Oddly enough, when one member of the conversation is shy, it often leads to a more meaningful interaction. The other participant believes you care, so he or she will be more likely to care him or herself.
