4 Reasons Why Introverts Love Rain

reasons why introverts love rain

Have you always been more drawn to a rainy day than most people? Do you feel a hint of joy the minute you see those tiny drops fall from the sky? 

 Did you know that feeling this way about rain is highly associated with being an introvert? It's true! Introverts are more drawn to the beauty of a rainy day with all its possibilities to cozy up in their favorite blankets with a hot cup of cocoa, nose deep into a good book. Sounds good to me!

There's actually a term for people who love everything about rain, and that's pluviophiles. If you're wondering why most introverts are classified into that very special group, here are 5 reasons why introverts love rain:

1. Rain Brings a Sense of Peace
While some people may get out of the rain as soon as they can to avoid that dreaded feeling of being wet, introverts can stand for hours under the rain looking up at the sky because it's peaceful. 

2. The Rain's White Noise Is Therapeutic
Introverts enjoy the sound that comes with falling water from the sky. This white noise makes way to calm down their thoughts and stress. 

3. Everything Looks Different When It's Raining
The visual aspect is a strong reason too. When it rains, your surroundings instantly look completely different and there's something hypnotic about it.

4. Everybody Becomes a Little Introverted When It's Raining! 
It's no secret introverts can feel like they're the odd person out in most situations. When it's raining, people hurry up inside looking for ways to stay warm and enjoy a movie night or catch up on their reading—in other words, heaven for introverts! 

That doesn't mean that an extrovert cannot enjoy a rainy day, but it's when introverts feel right at home. Heavy rain means staying at home and for extroverts who prefer being outside, it can bring them down while introverts get a chance to do what they do best.

Writing is something more attributed to introverts too; you can check out these 5 Reasons Why Introverts Love Writing.

How Introverts Deal with Interpersonal Conflict

Image
Confrontation is a terrifying concept for introverts. We don't face how we feel head-on and we always need time to process things. So when something happens that upsets us, we simply don't know how to voice our feelings about it on the spot. Our defense mechanism is staying quiet about it, acting like there's nothing wrong, and keeping it lingering in our thoughts.  How introverts deal with conflict goes something like this: 1. Someone says something or does something hurtful.  2. The first instinct of an introvert is not reacting, mostly because they will be in shock of what took place. They go numb and not mention anything about the incident.  3. Overthinking starts to overwhelm them, which could go on for days. Details get blown out of proportion as they start to analyze the situation thoroughly. The other person has no idea. 4. They decide they are really upset about this. 5. They want to confront that person but chicken out every time because the i

MBTI: Know the Difference Between Judging and Perceiving

Whether or not you're new to MBTI personality types, it's worth it to dig a little deeper and understand it more. Awareness does wonders to your life! You can check a simple breakdown of MBTI or the Myers-Briggs Type Instrument previously discussed on the blog.  Judging vs. Perceiving A common source of confusion is the difference between the  Judging (J)  or  Perceiving (P)   aspect of our personalities. Their names don't really help settle the matter because judging here is not all about forming an opinion or evaluating. Similarly, perceiving in terms of personality typing is not about awareness of something. We know where the confusion comes from! Let's break that cycle, shall we? Judging and perceiving refer to the way you prefer to deal with your outer world in a sense; your chosen preference is what people often see because it's how you choose to organize what is visible to them. They  are preferences in our personalities that are innately opposite to each ot

Personality Tests: To Be or Not to Be

Image
People are complicated. Personalities are complex, to say the least. Why was there a sudden peak of interest in personality typing and testing the last couple of years? I believe that it's because when we struggle in life, we desperately want to look for a guidebook that strictly defines us and tells us what to do or who we are.  In this search, we fell into a few traps. There are many misconceptions about personality tests out there. Some people even claimed the famous Myers-Briggs test debunked from all precision whatsoever.  I think it's all about your perception of what these tests represent. Here are a few points from my personal opinion that might clear the air: Personality tests are a guide, rather than facts set in stone. If you deal with your personality test results like they are facts that cannot change, you will be disappointed. This is simply because there are many elements like upbringing, life situations, experience, and trauma that shape us and change us constan
