Memes are now an essential component of the online world and are known to circulate rapidly across various social media platforms. However, what exactly is it about memes that makes them so catchy and easily shareable? Bradley E. Wiggins, Ph.D., an Associate Professor and Department Head of Media Communications at Webster Vienna Private University and author of the book “The Discursive Power of Memes in Digital Culture”, has previously told Bored Panda that memes are usually short and easy-to-share content that incorporate humor, making them highly relatable to the subject matter depicted in the meme. “Memes that reflect or reject certain ideological aspects become part of the larger online experience and can serve to reinforce one’s preconceived notions about a particular issue.”

My sister and niece used to call every Xmas, and I would have to talk to them. Both felt the need to fill me in on every dull meaningless aspect of their lives since last we spoke. One year I was in the bathroom when they called, didn't have to talk to them. So every year after that, on Xmas, I'd hear the phone and developed the urge to make boom boom

As is evident from the memes, being an introvert can be challenging at times, not only while navigating social interactions at work or school, but also online. Social media can be overwhelming for introverted individuals who prefer solitude because such platforms are often designed to encourage constant engagement. Introverts can also find social interaction intimidating due to their concerns about their self-image. According to Joanna Rawbone, MSc, a training consultant and founder of ‘Flourishing Introverts’, introverts who have worked on themselves to the point of being less worried about what others think of them are more able to lead themselves and others successfully. “We’re not for everyone, and everyone is not for us. Overthinkers take note and I should know, I used to be one!”

my head is a magnet for soccer balls, basketballs, volleyballs, tennis balls, you name it, and I had to struggle with it since kindergarten all the way till college. To this day I'm traumatized whenever I hear someone bouncing the ball, or kicking it, because no matter how far they are, or how good they are with it, somehow they will send it my way and it will fall on my head if I don't run away fast enough. It's like a physics law at this point.

Add this this: being a chubby kid and having your mom, aunt and grandma telling you that you are fat and making you wear all this ugly clothes because it will hide your big butt. This (and more) does wonders for developing social anxiety and getting weird ideas about bodies, food, exercise and so on.

Ah yes, this is our phone number but we are hearing impaired and won't answer. Don't bother coming to knock on the front door either, we won't hear you. You'll need an envelope and stamp.
If you identify as an introvert, it's important to embrace your personality and not feel pressured to change to fit societal norms. However, there are strategies that can help you build confidence and allow you to ‘flourish’. Joanna Rawbone’s favorite definition of flourishing comes from Dr. Lynn Soots: “Flourishing is the product of the pursuit and engagement of an authentic life that brings inner joy and happiness through meeting goals, being connected with life passions, and relishing in accomplishments through the peaks and valleys of life.”

As a grown-up I needed to learn that it is OK to go home. I have always thought it'd be rude of me somehow to leave a party or a concert or whatever. But really.... nobody cares. And the odds are that you will feel much better when you are back home. So my mantra when I'm being social is that I can always go home and it's OK!
Daycare Attendant Sun 2 years ago
Home is where my cat is, and she needs me to be there at 8pm so we can lay on the bed together, with her laying on top of my side, then falling asleep.
“Flourishing is a journey, not a destination, a choice we make moment by moment, so being able to measure and appreciate progress is essential. And because life is filled with ups and downs, we provide tools that enable resilience, build authentic confidence and develop a powerful presence. My years of enabling my own flourishing and helping my introverted clients to flourish have resulted in a 3-phase approach that starts with owning your introversion and your inherent strengths. Too many introverts, worn down by years or decades of being told to be different, have had them think that introversion is a hindrance in life. It doesn’t have to be this way,” Joanna Rawbone shared.

I had a friend in school that at the beginning would always complain that I never said anything to him on the phone and just listened, as he was worried maybe I didn't like him or something (he would call me everyday nonetheless). Fast forward a few months in the future, and when I finally had something to say to him, he would barely listen or let me finish and he would be like, sure whatever, and continued talking for another hour. But it's the same with everyone, they want you to talk, until you start talking only for no one to pay attention.

Kathryn Baylis 2 years ago (edited)
When I was a kid, and on into my early twenties (had my first job and apartment at 18), I used to really push myself to be more social. It was f*****g exhausting, and wasn’t even always all that much fun. So I scaled my socializing back and become way more choosy about which parties to attend and which clubs to go to. Found out I preferred going to parties where people of all ages were there, the music wasn’t deafening, no one was getting drunk, no one was trying to corner you to get you to dance with them, it was just people, old, young, children, adults, pets!, getting together, maybe having a glass of wine, and having real conversations! Those parties were so much better than the wild parties I had gone to, that I stopped going to the singles only parties and clubs, and started going to more family-type parties and clubs where you can hear your friends talk without shouting and breaking each others’ eardrums. I also spent more nights in then out, and discovered I’m just as happy in my own company as I am in the company of others—-sometimes way more so. In other words, by the time I was about 22 or 23, I was a grown up. Absolutely NO regrets about it, either.

The thing I’ve discovered about asking for help is that the people who constantly tell you to just call them if you need help and they’ll come running tend to disappear off the face of the earth when you actually dial their number. The only person you can 100% count on to help you is yourself, so just get on with doing it yourself, even if you have to pay people to do the stuff you physically cannot (like moving heavy furniture—-just hire professionals, ffs, it’s worth it, believe me). If anyone who’s a friend shows up, consider it a bonus to find out who your real friends are. And aren’t.

D Gibson 2 years ago
When others talk about how awful the lockdown was I am amazed . People get distraught explaining how they couldn't stand their own kids or spouse. How much they missed being able to just go out in public . (My brother only closed his office for two weeks during all of covid. He couldn't stand being kept in his beautiful 3 million dollars home with his wife). I have to keep quiet about my feelings about lockdown , people would want to put me in a rubber room.

So I was going to write and exam once and there was a line up for roll call...so the guy was calling names and someone answered "yeah" and he gave a long speech about not saying yeah, say here. So I'm practicing in my brain the whole time and when he calls my name I say "here" but he's so far away he thinks I said "yeah" and I got reprimanded for it. Never even thought that I should correct him. Just stood there and took it.

It's always a pain for me because it's so rare for a teacher to get it right on the first try, My name is Sabra. You would think it's not hard to pronounce right? Wrong. It's pronounced Say-bruh. But I've gotten Zebra, Zehbruh, Sahbra, Sabre even Sabera, Sab, and Sabri. Like HOW? Eventually, I stopped correcting teachers. But even my friends and classmates get annoyed so now THEY are correcting the teachers.

I may be something of an introvert, but I’m not boring. I’ve done some cool stuff (travelled, been on TV, been on the backlot at Disneyland and in the park parade, participated in well-known events, etc), so I never know what they’re looking for when they ask that question. I mean, give me a hint about what context of “tell me about yourself” you’re looking for. Tell you about myself HOW? Professionally? Personally? Education? Experience? Cool stuff I’ve experienced? WHAT?

I got asked this question for a phone screen interview for the job I currently had.. and like normal, I started blabbing and talking incoherently. So, I stopped, took a breath, and apologized. I was nervous so I just said whatever. Then I remembered the advice I read. Ask them what they'd like to know about and once I did that it was a much better screening interview because I knew what to talk about. TL;DR: take a deep breath and ask the person what they'd like to know in order for you to better answer the question. :)

Load More Replies...Navigating life as an introvert can often feel like a solitary journey, much like those who are single and exploring modern dating challenges. Both experiences invite introspection and self-discovery, as individuals reflect on their interactions and social connections.
Just as introverts find solace in relatable memes, those who are single can also appreciate memes offering humor and insight into their unique life experiences.

I'm so sorry you experienced that! My ex has extreme anxiety over the dentist as well, so I know how debilitating it can be. Could you ask the dentist if they could prescribe you anti-anxiety medication for your appointment, if you can take medications safely? My ex got some very mild sedatives for his dental appointments and they helped a LOT. I'm not trying to scare you, but he ignored his teeth for a while due to his anxiety and ended up having to have a massive root canal. Try and take care of your cavity if you can! I'm rooting for you!!

Hey BoredPanda Staff, do you review and edit articles before you post them? Introversion does not mean social anxiety, shyness, and never wanting to leave your home. Many introverts do leave their homes, have a number of hobbies and play sports, hang out with friends in smaller groups, but just need time to recharge. These memes seem to be more about agoraphobia an depression. Christ, I'm not even an introvert and it's sad that I have to write this!
