INTRODUCTION
Interpersonal relationships can include your partner, loved ones, close friends, acquaintances,
co-workers, and many others who make up the social connections in your life.In order to form
and maintain strong bonds with others, there needs to be a mutual give-and-take when it
comes to sharing information with one another. People need to open up to you, but you also
have to be willing to let others in and share details about your experiences, emotions, and
opinions. A boundary in your interpersonal relationships might look like having limits on when
you spend time together or expectations for when you will be there for one another. It can also
involve how much you are willing to share about yourself emotionally, physically, and even
digitally.These boundaries are important in your relationships with other people, but they’re
also important for your relationship with yourself.In order to form and maintain strong bonds

This chapter will present the review of Related Literature and Studies.
Based on the study, it states that it's impossible for there to only be one type of introvert
out there. He surveyed roughly 500 participants ranging from the ages of 18-70 and asked them
questions pertaining to how much solitude they need and how often they daydream. From the
answers he gathered cheek created a model that spells the acronym STAR that explains the four
Anxious introverts seek time to be alone, because they often feel awkward and self-
conscious. Unlike social introverts, anxious introverts experience painful shyness when they`re
around new people. The anxiety doesn’t necessarily go away either when they`re alone because
they let things play repeatedly in their heads over what could’ve gone or went wrong.
Restrained people who identify as retrained introverts' function on as lower pace and prefer to
think before they speak and act. They are also known for being reserved. Restrained introverts
take time to get things going, because they don’t let impulse affect their decision-making. The
brains of introverts create excitation in the phase stimulus analysis when situations call for them
to analyze what is required for them to do next. For instance, when a phone rings, introverts
generate more excitation in their brains; whereas extroverts need to inhibit everything else
going in their heads to decide. When an introvert needs to prepare for action, however they
may hesitate longer to pick up the phone. An extrovert, on the other hand, answers the phone
right away. While introverts are quick to react strongly to new situations, extroverts, in contrast,
Author of introvert power: why your inner life is your hidden strength, states that small
talk blocks honest interaction. Introverts might come off as being disinterested in others,
because they don’t like taking part in small talk. But they only dread it because of the barriers it
creates between them and others. Introverts want to feel connected; however, they prefer to
make connections through authenticity. Deep and meaningful conversations are what they
often crave for help lower the walls. (Laurie Helgoe, 2008) Happiness may not be a top priority
for introverts, and its okay Sounds strange, right? Especially when we live in a culture that
emphasizes happiness so much. But, according to psychologists Maya Tamir of Boston College,
introverts prepare to maintain a neutral emotional state when presented with tasks, such as
taking a test, giving a speech, or thinking rationally. This is because happiness, an arousing
emotion, may cause introverts to feel distracted that get in their way of performing those tasks
efficiently. Extroverts, however, prefer happiness when completing such tasks because it acts as
a motivator.
3. What actions can be recommended for the respondents to cope up with different social and
interpersonal situations?

METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents the research design, sampling technique, data gathering methods,
The researcher design for this study was qualitative research that contains descriptive
survey design. This design has a small population among introverts. Qualitative research is a
descriptive survey that consists of a questionnaire in the study, the answer should be figurative.
Data was gathered in the positive introverts of Grade 10 and 11 students in Malaya
Integrated National High School. Five students of grade 10 and Five student of Grade11. In the
total of Ten students, seven girls and three boys. They are the introverts who tested positive in

This research was conducted in the School of Malaya Integrated National High School

Sampling Technique
The Purpose Sampling technique was utilized in this research paper as this technique
finds participants based on what needs to be known and selects people who are willing to
provide useful information due to their knowledge or experience of the phenomenon (Etikan I,
et al, 2016).
The researchers formed an inclusion criterion that became the basis for selecting the
participants. By doing so, the researchers were able to get first-hand information on the
phenomenon to be studied. The inclusion criteria consisted of the following: a.) Must be
student of Malaya Integrated National High School, b.) Must be Grade 10 and 11 students, c.)
The researchers gathered from the primary sources. The primary data were gathered
from the introverted respondents we interviewed. The data gathering method was through
non-compulsory interview from Grade 10 and 11 students of Malaya Integrated National High
School. Qualitative data was gathered from the ten selected respondents.
First, we made an introversion test through google form and had it answered by grade
10-11 students to find out who our respondents were. After they finished answering, we tallied,
and we took the names of those who were positive in the introversion test.
Second, after we got the exact respondents, participants were interviewed and asked
about their experiences and feelings in difficulties in socializing with other people, and how
they deal with it. Many gave the same and different answers.
Last, participants were interviewed and asked how it affects themselves, their learning,
dealing with others and how they can overcome such events that they experience every day.
