35 ‘Antisocial’ Memes And Jokes That Introverts May Relate To All Too Well (New Pics)
If you're more of an introvert, you know there's a limited number of group photos you can pose for during a weekend before you decide to spend the next one home alone, recharging.
Even though you might feel like you're betraying your family, friends, or whoever it is you're casting aside in favor of a warm bed and snacks, there's nothing wrong with prioritizing yourself.
But if you need a reminder that you're not the only one doing this, check out the Instagram account FOGO, or the Fear of Going Out. It perfectly describes what it's like to embrace your inner loner.
Continue scrolling for a brief summary of FOGO's content and don't miss the chats we had with psychologist and educator Dr. Laurie Helgoe, as well as Jenn Granneman, founder of the award-winning blog Introvert, Dear, and introvert coach and consultant Thea Orozco.
You'll find them spread between the memes.
When you're done, fire up Bored Panda's first publication on this relatable online project, too!

Whenever my Granny was on the phone and wanted to get off, she'd ring the doorbell so that the person on the phone could hear it in the background and know that she had to go.

i like obnoxiously standing in the background of people filming tiktoks & flipping them off or doing something insanely distracting to ruin their video. tiktok sucks & the people who film in public are the absolute worst. i love discouraging them from harassing people just trying to go about their lives

You Mean An Awkward Brunch Where We Try To Cover "What We've Been Up To" Since College Without Making Things Too Depressing
butt soup 4 years ago (edited)
my friend from middle school reached out to me to reconnect in my junior year or high school & asked how life has been. i wasn't quite sure how to tell her that i'd attempted suicide & that the cat who was an integral part of my life that i always talked about had passed away... i mean, she'd want to know these things because we were really close, but how the heck do i say it in a way that isn't awkward & depressing?!

An introvert is not antisocial. Someone give these folks a dictionary, please. Extroverts need alone time, introverts need social contact, it's like most of life, we live it on a spectrum.
butt soup 4 years ago
a lot of these aren't "haha funny relatable," they're rude, apathetic, & portray lack of communication or high-level social anxiety as acceptable things. they're not. being introverted is completely different from not understanding other people's emotions or refusing to talk about yourself at all; introversion literally just means that you recharge when you're alone rather than in a group & has nothing to do with your social skills. i know plenty of introverts who are great at communication, can hold a conversation & talk about themselves, & don't lie to me about how they're feeling or what they want to do. if you're really that cripplingly anxious at the thought of talking to/hanging out with a friend, or if you seriously can't muster up any empathy for a friend who's sad, you don't need memes portraying this as normal, you need therapy. & don't come at me with the "talking about me feelings? ew!" stuff. that's an incredibly unhealthy mindset & i hate that these memes encourage it.

I liked most of these but I don't like how being introverted, anti-social, desinterested in other humans, unempathetic are all lumped together...
