A strong mental connection between two people is crucial for a relationship, and many relationships end because of a lack of it. I am an introvert, and although I know many people, I have never been able to build a good relationship with them due to a lack of compatibility in thoughts and feelings.

I used to visit an elder brother I knew, intending to build a good relationship with him. However, he often belittled me and sometimes used offensive words, which I did not appreciate. Eventually, I reduced my visits because introverts dislike such behavior.

Many extroverts take advantage of an introvert’s simplicity. Since introverts speak less, prefer quiet environments, and have gentle personalities, others often target their vulnerabilities with hurtful comments. This is one of the main reasons why introverts fear getting into relationships.

Once, at my college field, I wore a football jersey of a team I admired. Supporters of the opposing team, who were acquaintances, started teasing me. Initially, I played along, but their jokes went too far, making me uncomfortable. As a result, I started speaking less with them. Even now, I feel anxious when I think about that incident.

For introverts, every relationship is significant, so they carefully consider whom they build connections with.

Do you know the state of an introvert’s mind? It is like a touch-sensitive shameplant (Lajjabati gach), which wilts when touched unexpectedly. An introvert’s mind is similarly sensitive, making it difficult for them to open up easily or build relationships without fear.

Introverts enjoy quiet, solitary environments and are drawn to soft, meaningful relationships. However, they often struggle to express their feelings to those around them, leading to misunderstandings. If an introvert is called out loudly or insulted in front of others, they feel immense embarrassment, which can damage even the strongest relationships because their dignity has been hurt.

It is important to understand that an introvert is not a coward. They simply fear having their personality disrespected. Therefore, we can conclude that introverts fear relationships for various reasons, and these are some of the most significant ones.
