2
Now most people have a pretty good idea of whether they're an introvert or an extrovert.
3
So here's an easy question for you.
4
Are you an introvert or an extrovert?
5
Whatever you replied, I'm sure you're right,
6
but there's a little bit more to it.
7
Within introversion and extroversion, you have a lot more detailed personality traits.
8
understanding more about these can help improve your well-being, particularly if you're introverted.
9
In the West, we live in a world designed for extroverted behavior.
10
To get ahead in the typical workplace,
11
for example, you have to survive an open-plan office,
12
attend conferences and then networking mixes,
13
and do presentations to rooms full of people.
14
In her book Quiet, Susan Cain calls this the extrovert ideal,
15
the belief that the ideal self is gregarious,
16
highly social, and comfortable in the spotlight.
17
Even studies have found that extroverted people land more frequently in leadership positions and enjoy higher levels of happiness.
18
A lot of these findings are based on broad definitions,
19
where extroverts are sociable, outgoing and assertive,
20
and introverts have a more reserved demeanor.
21
But there are many nuances of your personality.
22
A 2017 study looked at which detailed personality traits indicate high levels of well-being.
23
They found that higher enthusiasm predicted positive relationships, self-acceptance, and life satisfaction.
24
Those with more intellectual curiosity experienced more personal growth,
25
which is probably good news for everyone watching this video.
26
And more industrious people were more likely to be satisfied with their purpose in life and experience positive mood.
27
Even if these personality traits aren't well developed right now,
28
they can evolve over the course of your life.
29
You can aim to be more enthusiastic or industrious over time,
30
but it's a slow change.
31
Another line of research looks at how you feel in your environment right now.
32
This feeling of how well you fit into your surroundings,
33
whether that be your school,
34
workplace or social settings, is known as person-environment fit.
35
A lot of people in the West who are more introverted feel like they don't fit in,
36
so then they fake being extroverted,
37
and this leads to lower self-esteem.
38
This was the basis for a 2018 study where researchers looked at the relationship between a person environment fit,
39
introverts, and well-being.
40
Participants were asked how introverted or extroverted they were,
41
and then how introverted or extroverted they wanted to be.
42
The majority of participants wanted to be more extroverted,
43
particularly those who were introverted.
44
This was largely because they live in a society that values extroversion.
45
More than 80% of these participants said they felt like it
46
was necessary to show extroverted characteristics in just going about their daily life.
47
Now, researchers call this desire to be more extroverted than you are your extroversion deficit beliefs,
48
and it highlights the importance of self-acceptance in your beliefs.
49
For example, this study found introverts who are self-accepting and comfortable with their introversion experienced higher levels of well-being,
50
closer to those experienced by extroverts.
51
And well-being didn't come from people having a particular personality trait,
52
it came from how their beliefs about themselves interacted with those traits.
53
So becoming more accepting of your introversion and your place on this introversion-extroversion continuum is essential for introverts to increase their well-being.
54
Luckily, your beliefs can be changed.
55
For starters, remember that schools and workplaces in the West are often geared towards extroverts.
56
Feeling uneasy in these situations doesn't mean that you don't fit in,
57
it means that they weren't designed for you.
58
Focus on your strengths and situations where you can use them.
59
Know that not all introverts are the same.
60
Some are shy, some are anxious,
61
some are reflective, and others just prefer quiet time.
62
A good task is to add a qualifier to how you are introverted,
63
so you can understand more about how you will respond to a specific environment.
64
And don't force yourself to be someone you're not.
65
More than one-third of people fall on the more introverted side of the spectrum.
66
You can try to mould your specific personality traits to be more enthusiastic,
67
or intellectually curious, or industrious over time,
68
and this may lead to increase well-being.
69
But the biggest thing that leads to happiness is accepting that being an introvert is okay.
70
It's normal.
71
And practicing self-acceptance leads to the greatest boost in well-being.
72
Now, if you are part of the one-third of people who prefer alone time,
73
try using that to listen to Quiet by Susan Cain on Audible.

为什么要通过这个视频练习口语？
在这段视频中，讲者深入探讨了内向型与外向型个性特征对个人幸福感的影响。对于英语学习者来说，理解这些概念不仅能帮助你更好地表达自己，还能增强你的社会交际能力。通过观察和模仿讲者的口语表达方式，您可以提高英语发音和表达能力。利用shadowing site进行跟读练习，不仅能增强语音语调的准确性，还能帮助您理解如何在特定社交背景中应用语言。这种方法所带来的反馈有助于您建立自信，改善与他人的沟通。
语法与表达的语境分析
视频中讲者使用了一些重要的语法结构和表达方式，这些都是提高英语口语能力的关键。以下是几个常见的表达：
- “interested in” - 用于表达对某事物的兴趣，例如“我对提高英语发音感兴趣。”
- “tend to” - 描述某种倾向性，例如“内向的人往往倾向于选择安静的环境。”
- “it means that” - 用来阐述结果或说明原因，例如“这意味着内向的人也可以享受社交活动。”
通过模仿这些句型并将其运用到日常对话中，您可以有效提高您的英语流利度，特别是在社交场合。
常见发音陷阱
在视频中，有一些生词或短语可能对学习者造成发音上的困难。比如：“extraversion”和“self-acceptance”这两个词。它们的发音比较复杂，尤其是其中的重音和韵律。在进行shadow speech练习时，建议您多次重复这些关键词，同时注意口腔肌肉的运作，以提高您的发音准确性。您可以利用shadowspeaks来加深记忆，并通过不断练习来消除发音障碍。
总之，通过本视频的内容，我们不仅可以提升对内向型个性的理解，还能通过针对性的练习来丰富我们的英语表达和口语能力。这对任何希望提高英语水平的人来说都是值得的。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
