you guys sound upset one of your friends doesn't answer your phone calls
I got friends who are probably "introverts", dudes I consider my brothers. But they know damn well they need to step out of their shell.

They are very aware of the fact that using people only when you want them is not right/admirable. They don't try to stick up for being stuck in themselves like it's a good thing. :mjpls:

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?

This right here is something that most in this thread should read.

All of this "most people don't interest me" or "I'm a loner" stuff doesn't fly once you get into the real world. How else are you gonna meet the small sect of people who actually get you if you don't bother to meet each other?

Also, this line of thinking is a quick and easy way to get passed over when it comes to getting the things you want.

and this is coming from a person who actually identifies with this.

If an introvert has any friends, these are people going out of their way to maintain a friendship with them.

:wow: this is so true ...it's a wonder some of my friends have the patience to have dealt with me for so long. actually not it's not ...i'm a good hearted person despite my constant introspection and they all KNOW IT. the postives outweight the negatives for them i suppose :ehh:

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
INTJ crew checking in.

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to have friends. Y'know. Like in the real world.

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

Human interaction shouldn't be so empty. :wow: :huhldup:


The problem is you only want to talk about yourself :youngsabo:

Extroverts who have decided to raid this thread. If you were to randomly meet one of us in person, what are some of the first things you'd say when sparking the conversation? Or whats the first thing you'd say after introducing yourself?

Let's hear it.

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

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

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.

Will you two stop posting? Neither of you has any idea what you're talking about, and you just keep confirming it.

The way I see it, I didn't ask anyone to be my friend. If people get upset I cant be where they want me to be 24/7 or ride along to whatever they wanna do :manny: dont be my friend.

I got my thread raided yesterday. Y'all can handle it. :shaq:

Depends on where we are at, the setting, what you look like (clothing/style), how long we are going to be around each other, etc. :ehh:

Fixed. Don't try to make excuses for regressive social skills breh. :pachaha:

Extroverts can pretty much talk to anyone about anything and have it be a sincere and genuine conversation, not built on a conditional preface that has to be met. That's something admirable. That's what well adjusted adults do.

Y'all been talking all thread about "I'll talk about what I want to talk about", "I'll talk if it can do something for me" but when someone calls you what it is (egotistical, self-serving, using), y'all try to back off. :lolbron:

:deadrose:

honestly. i dont even mind listening to extroverts go on and on about their preceived grandiosities. i just have to be in the right "frame of mind" and prepare myself mentally to do it. which is why i always need advance notice .... or solid plans laid out a few days before hand if i'm gonna go hanging out with big groups of them. none of that sponteneous "popping up" on me nonsense when i'm not in the mood.
i always have a great time hanging with Extroverts...their energy is inspiring and fun to be around. so i'm not even hating. i've just gotta do em in small doses and then rechange afterwards. :yeshrug:

I feel you :ehh:

So lets draw up a scenario.

Youre at a train station

It's you and a random person (a dude or an ugly woman, not a pretty woman cause that may bring out the extrovert in all of us :shaq:) standing outside in the cold, near one another waiting for your train to come in 30 minutes. Do you stand and wait for your train in silence, or do you spark a conversation with the stranger?

The destination is in a city thats about an hour away. So were looking at 90 minutes.

If you decide to have the conversation, lets have it right here for fukkery purposes :pachaha: :youngsabo:

First of all, nobody raided your thread. We just gave you extroverts the attention and validation you crave. :smugbiden:

Second of all, the rest of your post is bullshyt, but what's new? The idea that extroverts can have genuine conversations about anything while introverts can only talk about what they want is laughable, and it proves you don't know shyt about the introversion/extroversion spectrum. The issue isn't "I'll only talk about what I want to talk about." It's, "I don't have a lot to say about a certain topic, so I'm not going to say anything unless I do."

That's a trait you need to be learning.
