being introverted can be a gift and a curse.

I mean no disrespect whatsoever.
It really, really sounds like a couple of you may have social anxiety.
My closest friend is an INTJ and back in high school, while I had to beg son to come to certain parties with us, he could still function.
I would definitely notice a decrease in his energy level after a couple of hours, but breh could make small talk and play my wing man when the situation called for it.
If you're getting choked up over casual meet and greet conversation, or you're the type to be going for milk and see someone you recognize in the dairy aisle, so you walk down the canned goods section instead and pretend to be looking for something else until the coast is clear, you may have an underlying issue that goes deeper than simple extroversion & introversion.

Well what might that issue be sir.

I thought I made it evident what I was discussing within the first two sentences.
We've been through hundreds of posts and no one has had a problem.
I hope you aren't going to be the first to be sensitive about a comment that was far from malicious.

There's a difference between social anxiety and being shy.
Your nearest community college could no doubt clear your confusion in its respective 101 Intro Psych course.

the last paragraph is what I replied to, you see someone you know in your aisle and then you sprint to the next cuz you want to avoid social interaction with said person. that could easily be shyness breh

Sure, some days you just don't want to be bothered, but if it's a common occurrence, that's deeper than simply being shy, breh.
That teeters on avoidant personality disorder.
Again, there's a difference between the two.

This thread is dead on. I never thought being an introvert was a bad thing but more so having a unhealthy habits. spending way too much with yourself in your head. Making yourself enjoy peoples coupling etc. However It's alot of great people that are introvert. For instance Huey p. Newton

I never really notice I was a introvert until my sister came from college and ask do I even speak to my parents it had me and plus my freshman year college (learn more about myself)

Its bytch when you a pretty bytch and hoes throw they self at you but you dont know how to close the deal because your soo reserved. Shyt I had thugs that want that head up with me because I was too quiet. "Bruh I dont like nikkas thats too quiet"






Idk about carzy or mothers with previous babies from they ex but "bold" yeah.The fukkery When they found out you ain't about that life

did you mean "i had thugs that wont head out with me" or are you saying that they on you cuz you are too quiet

Exactly...I already know I have a very big issue that's goes beyond normal introvert stuff

 

[Brandeezy]

I'm beyond an introvert

You sound like a student majoring in psychology, got to over read into things to the nth degree. If you were in a job with someone and you got the sack and turned into a bum and this person you want to avoid is wearing the latest fashion so is obviously living good that could be a reason to avoid interaction. If the person you are avoiding converses in an interrogatory manner and you dont wish to discuss yourself because you arent really reaching those digits or arent well traveled (no real life experiences) thats another reason. The root cause of all these instances could be shyness (kept to yourself to much, werent a team player, were a mystery to most so it was easy to let you go)....Not reaching those digits cuz your shyness reveals itself in interviews e.t.c

Not necessarily shyness either. Sometimes you just don't want to be bothered. Me on the otherhand I just don't wnt to be noticed. The I'm like man, nobody talks to me.

Fight me its Florida slang

And you sound ignorant and keen on arguing.
I'm not interested in derailing the thread over a needless back & forth about something everyone sans you seems to grasp.
You got it, breh.

How do the introverts on here feel about public speaking?

Do it for a living. I teach. It makes me nervous, but once I get up there, I just go into autopilot. I get more nervous about being alone in a room with someone I just met than talking to a crowd of people.

Bit of a contradiction, you dont wannt to be noticed but then you ask why nobody talks to you? Anyways I aint one to talk, sometimes I have days when I dont want to be noticed and when it happens i'm like that was easy.Then other times i'm like wait why exactly are these ppl acting like I am invisible can they not see me?
