In physics, we were taught in General Law of Attraction between magnets that “Unlike magnetic poles attracts”. This law is presumably applicable to the chemistry between us as humans. We are likely to always feel attracted to people whose personality is completely different from ours. This is why an introvert is usually attracted emotionally to an extroverted person.
An Introvert is a person who tend to always shy away from social interactions and feel much more comfortable with his or her own company.

These two factions have distinctly different personalities.
However, due to the adverse difference in their personality, synchronizing their energy is somewhat difficult especially for the introvert in the relationship.
A lot of people usually associate the romantic relationship between an Introvert and an extrovert to be an intensively demanding one. Especially with the fact that the Introvert involved will find it tedious to match up with the energy of his or her extroverted partner.
As an introvert, there is a tendency to always feel less dominating in the relationship and this is why it is easily assumed that it is the introvert’s duty to always compromise in his/her personality in other to level up to the partner’s energy. This is not how it should be. The energy between an introvert and an extrovert in a romantic relationship should in fact be synchronized.
