Beginning a friendship with an introvert: find out who he is

You can know what type of introvert you are dealing with by some characteristic features:

It is to them that you can tell the deepest dramatic experiences, and be sure: you will meet full understanding. But he also expects you to understand

So, he may unconsciously take a step back every time an overly perfumed or untidy person takes a step towards him. And with people who are pleasant to him, the introvert, on the contrary, tries to close the distance.

For them the whole world — it is a tangle of roads of fate, on the sides of which the Trees of Knowledge grow. He often is completely indifferent to the needs of his body, and can easily forget about eating. 
  With such a person should communicate in his language. If you don't believe in mysticism, fortune, signs of fate — you don't need to lie to an introvert. Don hide your own beliefs, but show genuine interest in things your future friend is passionate about. And you make a wonderful duet,
