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

[Jazzy B.]

You're confusing socially awkward with introverts.

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

Introverts ARE socially awkward.

Y'all know this which is why y'all made being an "introvert" an identity.

 

[BulletProof]

If being introverted worked the way this thread suggests, it would impair function and would be classified as a mental illness or disorder.

There are four types of introverts.

I'm assuming this thread is talking about Anxious introverts and/or maybe social introverts.

I would imagine anxious introverts panic too much to sort of pre script a conversation.

With social introverts, its more of a preference thing. They dont really care enough to do that.

A thinking introvert who is overly analytical and caculating may have a framework for a conversation but only if they have an agenda in play. Its not something they're compelled to do without reason.

With a restrained introvert, it has less to do with their participation than it does the other person. So they're not going to prepare a conversation anymore then anyone else. Its more or less before they just warm up to you.

Oh, and there's hard science behind this as well:

Causes of Introversion​

Scientists don't know for sure if there's a cause for introversion or extroversion. What they do know is the brains of the two personality types work a little differently from each other. Researchers have found that introverts have a higher blood flow to their frontal lobe than extroverts do. This part of the brain helps you remember things, solve problems, and plan ahead.

Introvert brains also react differently to dopamine than extrovert brains do. That's a chemical that turns on the reward- and pleasure-seeking part of your brain. Introverts and extroverts have the same amount of the chemical, but extrovert brains get an excited buzz from their reward center. Introverts, on the other hand, tend to just feel run-down by it.

Days…

Been practicing my dmv speech since Thursday

 

[Justin Nitsuj]

I don't plan my "convo script". I just say what I need to say and get the shyt over and done with.

Besides, introverts like myself are not for "small talks" anyway.

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

This might be another thread in itself

 

[TheHonorableOmarSharif]

You niccas are doing game theory threads on just conversing with people?

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

I'm both... But my mama raised me right. Just meet people where they are and you'll be fine. You need a fukking app with opengpt built in to talk now?

I'm definitely getting too old for this world...

You're just a person... Talking won't kill you.

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

As an introvert I tend to get annoyed by small talk and sometimes give short answers that end conversations quickly. If you anticipate being in a situation where you recognize small talk (about something you have no interest in) is beneficial, then sometimes people plan ways to keep a conversation going.

It’s not about social awkwardness. It’s about understanding that a lot of people like to carry on conversations about stuff you don’t give a damn about. In my younger days (high school/early college), particularly with females I didn’t really know, I’d plan topics to be able to keep a conversation going because conversations in those days were usually about nonsense but I didn’t want to seem standoffish.

In hindsight, it didn’t really work. If I wasn’t interested I just wasn’t interested. That’s probably why I stopped and just became more intentional about who I interacted with.

Nikka prepares for convos like a battle rapper

 

[GreenGhxst]

I always put a finger in first

Then two when she's ready

But mostly one does the trick

I like to sniff when we're done but don't tell anyone

 

[humminbird]

all introverts are not socially anxious
you're talking about people with social anxiety

 

[Tres Leches]

I think there's a distinction between being socially awkward and being an introvert.

[Mowgli]

[BulletProof]

Sounds like you work with a lot of cacs yes.

You sound jealous.

You should brassle wrastle him, bro.

 

[AquaCityBoy]

Nothing about the OP was weird or unusual.

I don't have a convo 'script,' but I do plan very carefully which topics to talk about and which ones to stay away from.

 

[Mowgli]

You sound jealous.

You should brassle wrastle him, bro.

Do I? Maybe you just got triggered by the word cac and passed out here yes?

When you have to think of what to say you're around people who you aren't comfortable with at all. Understanding how tough it can be to banter in corporate America seems like a cac issue ya know?

O you don't know ?
