The Introvert Thread

[Malta]

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

Depends on where we are at, the setting, what you look like, how long we are going to be around each other, etc.






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

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.

There's nothing admirable about talking to everyone, you're essentially a conversation whore Nothing you say can be genuine, because you're saying it to everyone, you're telling me every last person you speak to is because you're interested in knowing them, or because you like to hear your own voice and see how people react to you? You like to be the center of attention, talking to people just feeds that need.

Your conversation is nothing more than self serving, connections made to serve a purpose at a later date. At least Im upfront about why I speak to people, because I find them interesting, or we share a common interest. I'm not in the extrovert thread telling you there's something wrong with your constant need for attention


Your thread was doing Spliff Starr numbers, and you craving attention had to come here for it :sodemonic:

extroverts are too dependent on other people alot of times

yep. they draw their stimulation and inspiration from external souces ....we draw it from within. i respect extros for what they offer but i wouldn't wanna be one of them. i can't imagine being dependant on what's going on "oustide" to be stimulated and content with myself. sh*t seems like a hamster wheel way to live life.

I feel you

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 ) 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

This outta be good

Agreed. I cant even imagine

i'm an intro and I DO. everywhere. grocery store lines..gas stations etc. so throw the "all intros are hermits that are afraid to open their mouths" theory in the bushes.

INTJ. In law school. My girl sometimes hates that I get antsy when I spend too many hours with her and would rather just chill and read a book.

 

[Ohene]

I never initiate conversations with strangers.

i will , only if it's a pretty girl I wanna hit
or if its a person that is doing something i can identify with but in this case its rare.

perhaps he's reading a newspaper story about something interesting that I also heard about
perhaps he's reading a book i've read
perhaps I saw an album he's listening to on his ipod touch that's dope

even then I figure that they'd likely want to enjoy their book/newspaper/music or whatever and just let them do them.

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.

You know why introverts are like "It's the way I am"? Because of people like YOU, who want to put everybody into a box, and don't understand that not everybody is like you, so they have to tell you, "Look. I don't want to go clubbing with you; I just want to stay in and chill. That doesn't mean I don't like you anymore, and that doesn't mean I'm not your friend. I just want to stay home tonight." Because as proven by the posts in both of these threads over the last two days, apparently many extroverts need to hear those exact words or you nikkas start taking that shyt personally.

And you have the audacity to say that INTROVERSION is self-centered? The entire point of every post you and all the extroverts have made in this thread is that you can't understand why we're not like you. Tell me THAT'S not self-centered.

Well I don't actually believe anyone and everyone who identifies as an introvert is some sort of hermit.

People are different. I mostly have a genuine fear of human interaction, personally.

iPod time

oddly enough, to set the introvert control I was gonna say that the stranger has earphones in his ear and the subject doesnt have an ipod or his battery is dead

 

[Ohene]

looks like dude went offline. convenient. guess i oughtta get back to preparing for this meeting tomorrow

There's nothing admirable about talking to everyone,

See, it's not about talking to everyone. It's about being able to talk to anyone (RIF my dude, READ). That's what y'all don't understand. I don't spend my day talking to everyone I come in contact with. No extrovert does (think logically here and step out of your ego). But thinking with the mindset of "I'm only talking if it's what I want to talk about or if you can do something for me", is in fact regressive.

You're one of the main people on here who says society is fukked up, people aren't genuine, people are users and etc, etc, etc. Pretty much everyone on here does that. But you're in a thread cosigning the same focus on individualism/ego-centrism you hate. Think about that for a second breh. Y'all are a part of the problem. In your world, people only use each other for what they can get out of each other or if there's something to gain.

while introverts can only talk about what they want is laughable, .

I never said that. That's what you all have been posting the whole thread. Don't get mad because I'm restating it.

honestly. i dont even mind listening to extroverts go on and on about their preceived grandiosities.

The thing is, introverts do the same thing, you just do it in your heads.

You perceive your topics of conversation to be the only worthy topics/interest. If it doesn't serve the purpose of advancing you or stroking your interest, it's not worthy. There is no concept of humility or deference in your actions with people. Y'all been sayin' it all through this thread.

This whole thread (and board) is pretty much a "People can never understand us " bukkake as if people spending time to themselves is such a grandiose idea that the world has yet to figure out.

I'd spark up conversation, but I'm not having a placebo conversation on the internet. That's not real breh. Please don't compare. Real life human interaction is a lot more real and a lot less calculated than typing on a messageboard.

yep. they draw their stimulation and inspiration from external souces ....we draw it from within. i respect extros for what they offer but i wouldn't wanna be one of them. i can't imagine being dependant on what's going on "oustide" to be stimulated and content with myself. sh*t seems like a hamster wheel way to live life.

See a lot of extroverts are not like this at all. I actually don't like people doing ANYTHING for me. Jack squat. Most of my friends don't either.

Y'all get mad about extroverts perception of y'all, but y'all do the same shyt.
