In his 1920s work Psychological Types, Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung popularized the terms "introverted" and "extroverted" when describing personality types. Introverts recharge by spending time alone and lose energy if they’re around people for long periods. Extroverts, on the other hand, gain strength from social interactions and actually exhaust themselves if they’re alone. Both types have their good and less-perfect qualities, so there’s no point in arguing which side would win in the Introvert VS. Extrovert battle.

To help you fully grasp the concept, Bored Panda has compiled a list of funny memes that are as relevant to the subject as they’re entertaining. And if you start nodding in approval with these introvert quotes, you’re probably more of this type of person. If not, you’re most likely that party animal they try to avoid.

But before judging one group or the other, remember something Jung has said: "There is no such thing as a pure introvert or extrovert. Such a person would be in the lunatic asylum." Continue scrolling, and enjoy the introvert memes!

    Happened to me in a crowded Applebee's. Asked them to stop and they wouldn't. I don't understand how they can do that without your permission. I've boycotted Applebee's every since, I'm not sure they've noticed though.

    You are making a pretty large assumption based on a patch of dirt in the background (and skin colour of course).

    Picture this: a robber comes in with a gun. You attempt to move out the way, but he catches you, and he pulls the trigger. When he does, a whole army of waiters go and sing happy birthday while making sure you LOOK AT EVERYONE. You also cannot look away from anyone, and that you make eye contact with a waiter at ALL TIMES. A fate worse than death.

    one time I was at Golden Corral and I saw some waiters singing happy birthday to some people. It made me internally grateful we only go there on Thanksgiving. I already think it's awkward enough when my family sings it...I think I would die if strangers sang it to me
