The Introvert Thread

[AquaCityBoy]

This shyt is crazy, I'll talk to damn near anyone if I find them interesting enough.

This is the most important thing about introverts that extroverts don't understand.

It's not that we hate people, or don't want to talk to them, or don't like conversation. We just don't want to waste our time with bullshyt and small talk.

If we ain't talking about making money, we ain't got shyt to talk about. I don't give a fukk about how cold it is outside.

Mr. Negative stay dropping ether on these Extroverts trolling this thread

For the folks that glossed over all of this and decided to gawk at these nerdy ass folks who dared make a thread to talk amongst themselves, let me attempt to set your perception straight for you:

the difference in what you may feel is an extrovert who's just to scared of the world to be in it and a true introvert is this.

Those people that you see posting here about sitting at home, being alone with no "friends", claim they're not attractive and no one is interested in them, etc. etc....

THOSE are the extroverts you're looking for.

An introvert may or may not have all of those things..... but simply doesn't care. We go out when we wanna go out, we talk to who we wanna talk to, we stay to ourselves when we want to.

Not to sound like some bad Linkin Park lyric, but even if I'm out in a crowd (and a lot of the people in this thread will agree), I still may as well be in an empty room.. but now it's too noisy to do what I actually want to be doing in the first place. So I get bored and leave.

Hell, the true introvert may be that person that you think is uppity and arrogant or may be really down to earth but you cant stand their superiority complex. You may think that they feel like they're too good to hang out or whatever.

And you're right. We do. But it's not that we think we're too good for the likes of you. It's just the things that you're so into are boring as fukk.

You feel the same way about the stuff we're into.

It goes both ways.

There is nothing to 'overcome' or 'deal with'. Being introverted is basically equivalent to being left-handed in a right-handed society. We have no 'fear' of speaking with anyone and can hold conversations with ease.​

A lot of these posts are talking about feeling awkward or shy in social situations. That's not an introvert, that's something that can be fixed.

And some of these introverts are severely "introverted" to the point they alienate friends and family (I know some like this). If someone is losing friends because of their behavior,how can you tell me that's not a problem?

Its about politeness. Its about caring about other people's interests. Not every conversation has to be about you. These are social skills. How is a couple minutes of conversation gonna kill you?

I don't see why you're trying to explain this breh.

I don't mind "introverts", but I'll be damned if they aren't some egotistical, self-serving, using MFs.

That's my main gripe with them. They'll be like "this is the way I am" without even realizing that entire mode of thinking is self-centered. Its always gotta be about them.

If an introvert has any friends, these are people going out of their way to maintain a friendship with them. But I've never heard of an introvert going out of their way to appeal to an extrovert.

Unless they find out the extrovert has something they want/can talk about only what they wanna talk about.

Human interaction shouldn't be so empty.

Read the first post in this thread again.

If losing those 'friends' and alienation of some family members allows us to be truly happy and at peace..... You see it as a problem because you need that much interaction to be happy. We don't.​
