Classes of all types usually address social wellness, as seniors come together to learn, exercise, or travel. While this can benefit seniors’ social connections, helping them make friends and avoid isolation, it can be intimidating for seniors who are introverted to only have access to wellness programming in group contexts. [Introverts make up about one-third of the population](https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffboss/2015/09/10/6-facts-you-should-know-about-introverts-that-have-significant-leadership-implications/#46a4b5e7182d), and while they are often labeled as “shy,” introverts are simply energized by spending time alone, rather than by being around others. [Most people are actually ambiverts: part introvert, part extrovert,](https://www.forbes.com/sites/travisbradberry/2016/04/26/9-signs-that-youre-an-ambivert/#4fb48b503145)depending on the time and situation. For this reason, it’s important to be aware of the introverted residents in your senior living community. While social isolation and loneliness is a major threat to senior wellness, introversion is merely a personality trait that should be respected and valued. Offering options for wellness programming that don’t always include group participation can help your introverted residents feel included.
