being introverted can be a gift and a curse.

[Easy-E]

Its time for "introverts" to admit that isn't really healthy.

I'll be the first to admit being introverted/antisocial has made my life tough. Nothing is strong or charming about it.

We front like its becuz were so sure of ourselves. And we don't need ppl to define us.

That is ridiculous. We are human beings. The reason we're on the top of the foodchain is our communication skills and abilities to collaborate. We all need each other. No matter how uncomfortable it is, its natural and needed for survival.

Life would be 10x easier if I had a bigger circle to roll with. But, I'm a introvert...smh

I can't speak for the majority here, but like I said I'm social and not social awkward. I just hate people forcing me to talk when I don't want to. Idk why it's so hard for people to understand some people just don't feel like talking all the time.

If I'm chilling or bumping some music by myself, that doesn't mean I'm social awkward or have social anxiety. It means I'm chilling and enjoying whatever I'm doing with the need of constantly talking and talking

The majority here don't sound like this though. They do sound like they have social anxiety disorder like @CrimsonTider said. I'm very much a person who does his own thing and doesn't even like people talking to me before like 12PM, but I would never go to a party and then wonder why people are trying to converse with me. That is the entire point of going out to a social gathering. Who the fukk goes to a party to sit there and not speak...

A lot of these people are EXTREME introverts. Think about people in here saying these have to psyche themselves up to go hang out

@BarNone

That's what I'm thinkin'. Some of these brehs have social anxiety disorder. And--no disrespect--need to get help.

@cook and @Brooklynzson didn't built this site becuz they were too cool for school and didn't see the need to deal with anybody.

Being an introvert is all cool until something happens and u have to rely on communication to get you back home.

My introversion comes from being raised by a single father who was a homebody. Its just something I had to get used to. But, it hurt me in college. Still graduated and got good grades, but, squandered a lot of opportunities because I didn't see the need to hang out (responsible that is) & get to know ppl.

Spacing was definitely not even a problem. Try grammar and punctuation, but it's whatever. You're missing the point as well. Just because I opted to read rather than gossip doesn't automatically make me a "rude" person.

Nah the grammar was on point too. You just looking for stuff now but punctuation/grammar hasn't hindered me in life so at that why you scarred to talk to chicks talking about they gossiping. Now who's worse off really . Also nobody told you to gossip but you a prefect person that reads books so you got it fam.

Right. They're confusing being able to entertain yourself with an inability to be entertained by\or in the presence of others. Now I'm starting to understand why a lot of the people on here are so weird, they can create personas online where no one can judge them and convince themselves that they're better than others. It's bravado masking fear and it's unhealthy.

My dude, that's my point;

U post that like its normal. It shouldn't take life or death to get u to deal with ppl. Its literally a skill you'll need til death.

Just like this coli "single for life" dons we all gonna have to deal with the day that we need to depend on some one for something.

Nobody does a thing, alone. But, one day will won't know the value of a circle til we need em.

I'm not saying clique up with ppl to have someone. But, u don't have to be best friends with a person to figure out what yall may have in common and how yall can build with eac other if yall have the same goals.

Breh, I'm living it. I wish I could just have a couple ppl on tap just advise and differernt view on a few issues. That's all. I don't need an emotional tampon.

i understand. the thing about me is im hoping i could get out more along with college. its like im an NPC in a video game. i cant initiate conversation well, yet i can give a speech with ease.

That's because its all about u and ppl have to shutup.

Breh, I don't kno how old u are. It sounds like ur in college.

U sound like me. I just didn't see the value in talkin to ppl--until I looked up and saw my network was weak.

If u go to school and just get good grades, u just wasted 100k.

College is about intergrating into networks u can t get in elsewhere.

Find something your passionate about and ask yourself "Where do ppl who ___ go to out in public." And then go there. Young ppl can get away with that, but, we soon learn that "it's about who you know, not what u know."

You're confusing introversion with social problems which some of these dudes do have, I am an introvert that has traveled to several countries by myself and conversed with strangers where I'm the foreigner. I don't have any social problems, if I do have a problem it's that I can cut people out of my life very easily at times. I'm just an aloof dude that can be a bit cold to people outside of my family


Some of these guys sound like they may have Aspergers and think it's introversion.

 

[Rocket Scientist]

I'm usually very social yet at times I enjoy doing things by myself

well its both for me.

meh. i'm sure there are correlations with introversion as a personality trait and Autism so theres nothing wrong with that really

 

[Ohene]

Nah they don't care you confusing bullshyt talk with really caring. Tell everybody you don't want to talk see how much they run up on you at work or a party. I also doubt everybody doing it to you and all the "introverts" unless its maybe a girl that like you or some shyt. That's what makes it funny (in an unbelievable sense) that the quietest people are being harassed the most. Maybe you haven't pay attention in this thread but honestly y'all aren't much better with the talking about folks y'all selves regarding your last sentence. The mirror is all our friends sometimes we need to look at it.

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?

Now who's worse off really . Also nobody told you to gossip but you a prefect person that reads books so you got it fam.

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?
