being introverted can be a gift and a curse.

[CrimsonTider]

It doesn't but most talk consists of he say/she say. Me I ain't got time for that.

No it doesnt, STFU.

Yes, it does.

they may not run up on him anymore but will they talk shyt about him behind his back to other coworkers? will they pass him up for that promotion because he seems rude and unlikeable?

Regarding the first question that's life honestly at work or with friends you going to get that. I don't know depends on the job and how he treats them. Some people could care less as long as he doing the job and others care about that stuff so But apparently you have the answers so I should ask you.

You had phrases upon phrases, pronoun misuses, and more but if that's your definition of "on point," then you got it. Who said anything about being scared of talking to "chicks?" It seems as if you define some, possibly a significant portion, of your worth based off of ability to "talk to chicks," which screams insecurity. In any case, besides grammar, I'm guessing you don't comprehend well either since I clearly said I didn't feel like gossiping. Perhaps, I would have entertained conversation on another day? Or are you so one-dimensional in thought that you assumed that I always opt to read rather than socialize?

My definition of "on point" is you get what I'm saying hut online faux geniuses act like they so stupid or "smart" they can't understand. Like I said whatever makes you feel more important man because it don't effect real life shyt so . Nah seems as if your just assuming about what I base my worth on. I just said YOU not wanting chicks to talk to you maybe something is wrong with YOU. Don't have nothing to do with my worth. This is the Internet man at the end of the day we both go back to our lives so I just like the different discussions I get on here or talking to fans of my teams. Again nobody said you had to gossip you some type of bytch that can't leave if they started gossiping? Saying hi doesn't equal staying to talk so maybe we both don't comprehend well. I'm never one dimensional in thought I think when people get into discussions like ours it seems that way but we just trying to be right when we both can have good points. That's how I look at it but sometimes it don't work like that. Regardless I don't have any problem with you just don't agree with some stuff you said nothing more nothing less.

No this thread is not proof of anything. You're behind a mask. You get to sit and contemplate your next statement. No one gets to see your facial expressions or mannerisms. No signs of discomfort. Basically, this thread allows you to separate yourself from the contact you all fear the most. @Audemar we all have perfectly fine reading comprehension skills the problem is that you guys are the ones not reading. If our posts don't apply to you then it doesn't. The fact that he quoted me when I never said everyone probably means I struck a cord. I specifically referenced the type of statement that made me think people were awkward.

we're being judged in this thread, the fact that the ones doing the judging can't see our facial expressions doesn't change that, it's a fact.

being able to contemplate my next statement is exactly why I'm very comfortable posting on social networks such as this, I can choose who, how and when to reply, allllll based on my comfort level, and it's awesome, there are times where I'm
uncomfortable in certain threads depending on the topic, all I have to do is back outta the thread and I'm good.

we also have an official Coli TinyChat that many self proclaimed introverts frequent on a weekly basis, on camera, facial expressions and all, and it works wonderfully because we respect each other's spaces and interact in ways that are best for us.

I have no problem talking with people I know and don't know, I'm good either way, but I don't always feel like talking it's not something I can change either I can go with the flow a lot of the times and can adapt to situations, I just prefer to be alone when I'm not with family. I go to all sorts of parties and social events, but I don't overstay my time at them, just how I am.



Sure, if you spend 20 hours of the day by yourself then problems could arise, but at the same time there are plenty of introverts that have done great things. I mean, look at it like this a lot of your NBA titles are a result of two introverts The fact remains though, that brain chemistry that causes some animals to roll in packs/prides while others don't is also present in humans as well, some people are just more cut out to run with a pack while others are more comfortable hunting on their own. I don't want to be alone, I need to be alone at times, whether it's just zoning out with my headphones on in the gym like I'm the only person there or going for a drive upstate and walking a trail, it's something i need.

Oh, definitely. I don't disagree with anything you said here. I just think we're blurring the line of what an introvert is a bit. Taking time for yourself is something that I believe is necessary. Socializing is something I believe is necessary. Being afraid of either of those things is something I find to be unhealthy. But yeah, I'm talking about extremes. I find people who are unable to operate independently to be as equally flawed as people who can only operate by themselves. But what you're describing is a functional introvert, these people do not appear to be that. I disagree with your Tigers and Lions analogy because Tigers and Sharks don't fukk with anybody. I don't believe human beings are designed to be like that.

But I just also think interaction is important for education, etc. A lot of the opinions I see on here seem to be the result of people who are in their own head all the time and have never actually applied this mindset to real life. I think we agree more than we disagree....obviously I don't think anything is wrong with either of my parents lol.

The fact that you didn't see anything wrong with posting this as your defense speaks volumes

yes, smilies.

are people who claim to be introverts being judged in this thread in spite of their facial expressions and body language not being seen?

What's wrong with contemplating your statements before you speak?

why can't you just say things without thinking first like regular people?

Nah, my preference is to be alone the majority of time, that's just how I am, if it's not loved ones then I'm mostly dolo. Some of the people here are functional introverts, the guys who are afraid to talk to people have obvious social anxiety, for me it's I choose not to because I don't feel like it at times. They may get over it in time, and if they don't then that's fine either way, they aren't hurting anyone especially if they feel more comfortable by themselves.

Actually breh Tigers will live in groups when they're in captivity, it's not necessarily natural for them but they will do it but their hard wiring is clearly to live solitary.

But I just also think interaction is important for education, etc. A lot of the opinions I see on here seem to be the result of people who are in their own head all the time and have never actually applied this mindset to real life.

We agree more than disagree, cause you know Bean and Cap are extreme introverts

What's wrong with contemplating your statements before you speak?

Every rational person thinks before they speak. His defense to us saying that he's socially awkward as opposed to an introvert was

(1) he is being "judged" right now while being anonymous on a message board and that is equivalent to actual social interaction so I'm wrong for saying he's afraid of being judged. Actually I didn't even say him, I hadn't read one of his posts before he started quoting me so obviously I struck a cord. He wasn't in mind.
(2) Very few people feel that need to post on a message board because they lack the social polish to think before they speak while interacting in person. Can you imagine if someone told you need everyone in the room to freeze every 5 minutes so they could think up their retort... Dude sounds like he wishes he had this nikka's power in the worst way

(3) He used tinychat, and compared that to day to day interaction.......so according to him, talking to people behind a computer screen who you know a lot about because you got to read up on their posting history, etc. = interacting at a social event and making small talk.

same phenomena of Atheists incessantly badgering Christians about their beliefs. maybe atheists believe that if they continue attacking Christians, they'll eventually "see the light" and give up their beliefs.

Fair enough. That's why I can see your perspective and understand it. Plus, I have periods like that after I chill with people too much. Like I won't go out for like a month after going out for 3 weekends straight. I can dig it . You are more of a true introvert than I ever was I suppose. Plus, I get tired of my fam
