are you an introvert?
LOL thread?
Not when I'm drunk
>>341978249
thats pretty much sums my relationship with a friend i know for over 10 years, we live in the same city but we've never seen eachother irl
>>341978249
So, that's how extroverts see introverts.
>>341978249
No, I just hate being around dumbasses.
That's all I need.
>>341978249

No, I don't buy into the dichotomy that validates phone and internet addicts.

>>341978550
extrovert here
how the hell do you not die from insanity being alone in solitude?
even i dont go out but at least i make friends online and talk to them
I'm like 88% introvert but i don't act like that.
>>341978737
>how to be a useless piece of shit
ah alright.
you forgot your liberal arts degree
ehhhh there are days where I don't want to see anyone
and there are days where I really enjoy being in company
dunno wtf I am
Being a socially competent introvert who doesn't thirst for a gf feels fucking nice.
Focusing on things that makes me happy and trying to achieve knowledge and a career in fields that I enjoy is so much more rewarding than forcing yourself to be social and concerning yourself with relationships just because the societal norms expect you to.
>>341978860
Introverts like to be social but not always it takes energy. don't believe dumb tumblr le forever alone introvert shit.
>>341979008
Normal. Introvert/Extrovert was made up by Jung, who was an absolute quack and not worth listening to. But it makes the socially retarded feel normal, like they're 50% of the population, when they're just inoperable social leeches and should be culled.
>>341979067
wait there are people who arent drained by social interactions?
very much so, but im social online
Are introverts trying to justify their lack of social skill with "intellect" and "muh complex mind" the longest running meme is the history of mankind?
>>341978249
>"Introvert" who is outgoing and very active on social media but claims they are an introvert because its seen as cute and/or funny to them.
I'll take what is every 'introvert' web artist for 100.
>>341978860
introverts wants to be social but in a different way. loud parties with tons of people aren't for them
>>341978860
As a pretty severe introvert, I merely find social interaction very tiring. I enjoy it but at some point I hit a wall where I just don't want to talk to anyone for a while. This is one reason I prefer online interaction, where I can bow out at any time.
>>341979152
Yeah they are called extroverts.

>>341978249
Possibly.
hikikomori here, haven't had any "friends" this decade, no social media accounts (unless you count the unused twitter account I made for mynintendo), I just don't care
>>341979336
I didn't say that, it was just an example. educate yourself
>>341979102
Jung wasn't good in general but level of extroversion has been rolled into the Big Five personality traits, which are well supported by research. One of the few things Jung actually nailed pretty well.

Pick one. You only get to have fun when you're a parent when they turn 18.
>>341978249
Yup

That's what it seems like to many introverts because most extroverts have a hard time understanding becoming tired by social situations.
>someone invite me to do stuff
>heart instantly sinks
>"S-sure!" I say
>stressed as shit
>keep trying to fabricate an excuse all the way until the event
>go to event

>now I'm trying to think of a way to get home as soon as possible
I'm completely fucked when it comes to social stuff. It's a problem I can recognize and I know exactly what my flaws are, but I still can't force myself to actually be interested. Being anti-social is just hardwired into my brain.

No I'm completely serious. Every self-proclaimed introvert I see online or in real life tries to pull some "my mind is a complex machine" special snowflake bullshit.
In reality, they're just regular people with added social ineptness, not being one inch more intellectual, intelligent, self-reflection, thoughtful, than their extrovert counter parts.
>>341979390
>go out and party
>have a fan-fucking-tastic hell of a time
>cancel on plans
>unwind and melt into my sofa like I took heroin
Best of both worlds.
>>341979518
It's mostly just the fact that these people are boring and uninteresting, so they come up with things that make them seem more interesting.
>omg, socialising is so hard for me, it physically drains me
>i love books so much more than conversing with people, it's just the way i am
>totally has nothing with the fact that I can't hold an interesting conversation for more than 5 mins
Ugh you extroverts and your "socializing" and "talking to people", leave me alone, you shallow idiots. I am never understood, because not wanting to be social is a rare gift bestowed only upon me, and no-one will ever understand unless I make shitty passive-aggressive comics about it.
For the most part I'm introverted, but I'm capable of going out into society and functioning like a normal person. I just need some cooldown time from major social interaction (job interview, club meeting, party).

Once i respond to all my texts, facebook chats, and tinder messages, my journey into loneliness truly begins! xD Gotta tell the bf im not available tonight haha!
>>341978860
Current psychology agrees that like temperature (technically there is no 'cold' but just varying degrees of heat), there is no introversion, just varying degrees of extroversion.
As an introvert, I spend my weekends out and trying to find new activities in my city. But I need time to socially rest.
I went to a play last night with a few friends and a blast talking about it after the show; but the invite to the after party exhausted me. I'd rather sit around talking over coffee.
>>341980129
>>being alone and introverted doesn't make me happy, I'm just too anxious and awkward in social situations to feel comfortable
Maybe you're not an introvert, just shy/socially awkward.
>>341980129
You are confusing introversion with social anxiety. They are not the same thing, though a lot of introverts have social anxiety. You can overcome social anxiety but it's much harder to become extroverted.
>>341980192
nigger I haven't done anything social in over a year, I'm your "introverted" to the extreme
it's just this whiny "no-one understand me, I'm different from the others" garbage that's awful
>>341980260
you just sound like a loner that cant make friends anon
the most important thing for an introvert is RECHARGING
extroverts recharge their energy by being around other people and social interactions while being alone drains them
introverts are simply the opposite. social interactions drain our battery limit and so we need alone time or relaxation time to charge ourselves up again
and idiots don't understand that
>>341979704
What is not to get? Given that they're at a party with friends, and not standing in a corner a party with +20 people and only knowing 1 person who is busy talking to other people, what the fuck could possibly go and make them feel like a fucking emotional trainwreck?
I can understand it if, as I described, you're at a party where you know literally no one. Socializing with strangers all alone is not everyone, and I can absolutely understand that. But otherwise? No.
>>341980031
the same thing happened to me except it didn't get to the physical part
she actually initiated a relationship with me online, and we were extremely close and even didlewdshit over cam. but eventually i guess she got bored of me and started acting super distant and telling all her friends i was some kinda weirdo loser (to be fair I am) without having the guts to just break it off to me for a few months
this was the first time i ever was in a relationship with anyone and for the longest time I just assumed i wasn't made for that sort of thing and i didn't care
now having experienced it though i feel like i missed out on something i'll probably never get to feel again
>>341978737
Truth
>>341980323
you'll find that almost everyone in the world understands it, and thinking of them as idiots just makes you an asshole

Sorry that not everyone needs to be drowning themselves in alcohol and cheap social simulation to function. Especially in the digital age, its easy to find a ton of things to occupy ones time in complete solitude.
>>341980323
This is said so much, but it just sounds stupid to me.
>>341980412
I don't think you understand what a false flag is
>>341980093
That's never how it works for me. I try to come off as a "normal" person typically, so any sudden deep conversations like that don't work, and no one pays attention to it. Which is also another problem of mine and another reason I have the anxiety. Can't hold a conversation and when I try to, people will just interrupt me, not listen, or just change it right in the middle of when I'm talking.
>>341980184
This isn't a solution because I would say I'm not up to it 100% of the time. I hate the feeling, but the sad truth is that I still want to be forced because I still want to maintain a relationship with people, I just don't like any of the social things required to do it.
>>341980482
I'm saying that everyone has that same feeling to a certain extent, and just force themselves through it
It's literally just practice, do it often enough and it's normal again
>>341980414
Because it's bullshit.
Everyone can be extroverted and introverted at different times and under different circumstances. And people will get both physically and mentally exhausted if they spend too much time socializing and will need some downtime to unwind. It's how literally everyone works.
>>341978737
You forgot one thing, growing up.
Introvert =/= being a neet.

Some people just don't give two shits what you think about the NBA finals, and after the high of your brain releasing hormones from socializing for an hour and a bit they can't stand listening to people about shit they don't care about so they get upset and need to do things they like and care about until their brain is ready to release those drugs again.

>Myth #5 : Introverts don’t like to go out in public.
>Nonsense. Introverts just don’t like to go out in public FOR AS LONG. They also like to avoid the complications that are involved in public activities. They take in data and experiences very quickly, and as a result, don’t need to be there for long to “get it.” They’re ready to go home, recharge, and process it all. In fact, recharging is absolutely crucial for Introverts.
yup
>tfw narcissist
It's not that I'm introvert, I just prefer my own company to that of others. I'm the greatest guy I've met and nobody compares.

Yeah, it probably is just because I don't do it often enough. I have found that when there are more social events closer together, it gets easier. Especially if it's in the same spot with the same people, more comfortable.
>>341980758
I have very little in common with anyone I know personally. I know people who like video games very much, but you can't talk about games for more than two minutes before it starts to seem really autistic, and I can tell I'm losing their interest or even outright annoying them. And of course, I also have >no gf so I never have a dedicated partner nearby to un-awkward things up. And being at an event where everyone else has someone like that creates its own awkwardness.

Yeah, introvert is a codeword for undiagnosed autism or social ineptness.
Introverts don't dislike human interaction. They're just shit at it, and like to do it through a media where the only variable they need to consider is their language in written form. Physical interaction is too much for them, because the other variables become too much to juggle at once, and this "drains" them: posture, eye contact, facial expression, body signals, etc.
Communicating or observing the world through the internet is preferable to them, as for one, communication gives them the option to go AFK at any time, and they can take the time they need to respond as they please, giving them time to calculate their every word and sentence. Something which they may find much harder to do in face-to-face scenarios, thus why they come off as shy.
From the security of internet communication, they are much less vulnerable, and it drains them much less.

too much of anything will make you uncomfortable, even sick.
it's not a disease any more than taking too much vitamins making someone sick, or taking too much drugs at once killing you is a disease. it's simply overdosing.
you need to find balance, everyone's got a different threshold.
>>341981559
I second this
>>341981675
completely different thing
Probably, but here's the thing: I actually try to invite people with me to go do things that I like to do, which at my present location is hiking. They never want to go. Even when they say they do, they always have an excuse. One time 5 of them agreed and every single one "got sick" or "woke up late" or something similar. Eventually I just stopped asking.
I thought maybe i'm an asshole, but they still invite me to stuff like movies and I go.
I think most of our interests just don't line up.
>>341979914
Same for me. Sometimes hard to find a decent balance though.

and how is the introvert supposed to obtain all those resources without being social enough to make trade contracts.
>>341981189
It would be anti-social if i would behave in an anti-social way. We are content with the way it is. Modern times let us stay in contact even without meeting.
It's quality time and we have alot to talk about when we actually meet up.
Also i dont sperg out in normal daily social situations, like all those shitty tumblr comics make it out to be.

I never invite people to do anything, so I can't really talk. But I also lack interest in typical social stuff. I really don't like movie theaters. I like to pause to go get food or take a shit. Hell, if I'm watching a movie at home, I can take a shit while watching it if I want.
Also, a lot of my most interested movies are ones no one else I know would want to watch.
>>341981796
