Extraversion, the personality trait characterized by sociability, talkativeness, and assertiveness, has its antonyms as Introversion or Timidity. Introverts generally prefer solitary activities, avoid large social gatherings and typically only have a few close friends. They are quieter and may require more downtime to recharge after socializing. Timidity, on the other hand, refers to shyness, hesitancy, or being easily intimidated. It is the opposite of boldness, confidence, and assertiveness that extroverts generally display. The antonyms of extraversion are just as valid as the personality trait itself and are integral to understanding personality dynamics, individual differences, and the complex interplay between nature and nurture.
