I've always had a similar thought but never really expanded on it much until I read what you posted

Like how people, I guess extroverts, see the cars or baddest bytch and want it, like they want to be what others consider successful

But I've always thought like, I would rather do my own thing, and achieve what I want and make people think that is what successful means

I don't really know how to express the thought further though, it makes sense in my head lol

Extroverts constantly need validation, admiration, attention and approval from others or they'll fall apart. Introverts can draw this all from within and keep it pushing. I actually find extroverts to be mentally weaker when faced with adversity too.
Daily at work I do find my self looking at extroverts like needy children with their attention seeking ways. This is real shyt. In that book I posted it kind of explained how if an introvert has a thought it's like if they had a ping pong table set up and they just kept hitting the ball to the other side but nobody there to hit the ball back so they end up just hitting the ball over and over. They can't internally expand on a thought sometimes without interacting with others. And oddly enough, these motherfukkers can't just play with each other they somehow seem to find introverts to bother.

Thinking about it further though, for me it is probably more of a slight overlap with being a sociopath when it comes to certain things

you explained yourself well, friend.

people like you and i know that that "bad" chick can end up dying/leaving ya, etc. we know that that car just continues to depreciate. these things only fill voids temporarily. the "extroverts" in this case move onto another gimmick to fill them while dudes like us look for personal growth and achievement to mend the voids permanently.

I've responded to you before, have you taken my advice regarding multivitamins?

And you never mentioned the 5 fap per day thing. How the fukk do you have the energy to do that so much but no energy to socialize?

When you stop the jerking off you'll have the energy to work out and socialize. Seems like that should be the first step.

You are losing tons and tons of nutrients by losing that much semen a day. There is no way you are not sleeping 12 hours a day to recover from that.

I never said I didn't have any energy to socialize. I have social anxiety/timidity/self esteem issues that prevents me from socializing.

The biggest issues that introverts have is that they have a lot of great ideas, but have trouble implementing them. It could be from over-analyzing, too much planning, lack of resources, etc. This can lead to procrastination and delaying the idea, one of the downsides of living in your head. An extrovert has an idea and is willing to dive right into it. An extrovert is willing to take risk and make mistakes while introverts try to minimize these things. There needs to be some balance from both sides here.

It sounds just like me and I think I'm going through this now. I do not want to talk about the latest memes or anything everyday. I do not understand how people can scroll Instagram or Facebook for hours I rather talk about something deep and meaningful

That's why I got rid of Facebook. I haven't had social media in almost 3 years. I found nothing of interest there. I'd much rather have a intimate discussion about the sciences.

I am significantly introverted, with the ability to be charming, adept in conversation, communication, the ability to develop relationships with ease....I prefer often to be alone, and some of this opinion is true, I am also a ruthless pragmatist, (valuing efficiency, like many INTJ) like me) so I realize I cannot only read, learn, develop theories, write, which are many of my most enjoyed passions, my motivations are different, but they aren't less then extroverts I know, in fact it's often me who quietly gets what I want, while others obsess loudly over it..... I do agree, that unlike friends of mine, who are more extroverted, I am less content, prone to nihlism and existensalism, not easily satisfied or pleased by 'common pleasures' more curious, seeking meaning in my action, seeking improvement all the time (which is my motivation and how I motivate myself differently then some i know)

edit: implementing the ideas, I do see a clear difference compared to more extroverted friends, who get an idea, thrive on it, do it, and often fail, (but succeed also, obviously) Then they do it again. I am more calculated, introspective, careful, and plan. I'll come up with plans and detailed strategies to even relatively trivial things, asking a woman out, getting in touch with a girl from my past, sometimes less about my personal life, into extremely Machavellian, manipulative schemes, just for the enjoyment of it all like 'O"..and then I'll just move on, and abandon the idea as not worth my time. The plans I do follow through with, almost always succeed.
