Introverts: how far in advance do you plan your convo scripts?

[valet]

I dont understand the misunderstanding of what I'm asking. It's obvious different type of introverts and some of us don't like small talk in social situations. We'd rather the extrovert talk and sit back and listen.

Some of yall introverts obviously are comfortable in having convos in public with strangers and that's cool. But some of us is about surviving that situation. We have a hard time being put on the spot answering questions. So our strategy is to reverse ot and have the extrovert carry it. Some of us plan in advance to do this. This the point of the thread

i thinks it's less about scripting whole conversations, but more so having individual little cute/goofy things to say to make someone laugh, topics to bring up, questions to ask.

but that would be more of a 1 on 1 setting like a date or meeting with an advisor or something like that. in a group setting i just let that shyt fly

I never met a self proclaimed introvert that wasn’t a highkey sociopath or narcissistic

Sucks to be you, I’ve met several who are neither.

 

[HoldThisL]

Introverts don't do that, you must got it confused with social anxiety brehs.

It's more about waiting for the right time to deliver a joke I stole from the coli..

Wait I thought introvert was someone who prefers to stay inside/be by themselves. Not social awkwardness

If you planning your convos other than a job interview something is clearly wrong

First off stop going into every convo with a woman with the thirst to smash. Have fun enjoy life. The words will flow out ya mouth like running water

And they’re probably fakkits

I would admit to outlines or topics to touch on, for women scenarios, but also like a business call, have some sort of plan.

especially now, with the almost total text convos, you can't call someone and have nothing to say, and it should and does flow natural, but it's good to have some guide posts, if it's new

I don't like small talk, about how was your day, or how someone is doing, because I don't care, and it probably shows, so I want the convo to move towards something deeper, fast.

I don't plan conversations.

I steer conversations to the fastest exit if they are boring/unfruitful. Otherwise, I gather as much information as possible to research later during 'downtime'.​

I’m about 70% introverted. I thought only me did this …

You're confusing socially awkward with introverts.

As an introvert these situations aren't awkward and don't warrant any planning

 

[Whatupdoe?]

I think I plan convos pretty often but like someone said the plan generally falls apart, since convos usually are free flowing. That's where I excel when I can adapt easily and use the game plan as general talking points.

 

[Mike809]

I usually carry a flow diagram in my pockets, and adjust as the conversation goes.

The only difference between introverts and extroverts is how they recharge their social batteries. That's it. Extroverts prefer company, introverts prefer to recharge on their own. Anything else is down to you being a creepy, autistic, social cripple.

Ok, I guess that's where the conflict is coming from. When I use introverts I mean it more of what it traditionally meant in the culture. People who process more by thinking internally. Whereas others who process by verbally talking, thinking out loud.
