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!

Oh yes. And then they go and talk to someone else and you're completely lost.

If at a house...I go find the pet. If someplace else I tend to find a quiet corner and get to know a few other introverts. 😁

Not just parties. When there's a work do in my building I'll stick as close to my office mate as I can so I don't have to talk to people I only see for a few minutes every day - in my world even these people are strangers...

Try going to a party with one of your friends who's foreign and everyone at the party speaks their foreign language. All I could do was sit at the buffet table.

There seems to be so many of us. We should have a signal so we can identify each other at parties and not talk to each other together.

When some party sucks I just disappear quietly and go to stroll in a city. Of course when the party is in the middle of nowhere that just blows.

Introverts, try to make more than one friend so this doesn't happen. Make like 4 or 5. That 4 or 5 is the golden friend ratio

OMG yes! I have hour long situations run in my head where I'm yelling at everyone for all their faults and then I walk out happy and chill. Everyone thinks I'm the most laid back person ever.

I think there's only 3 or 4 actual extroverts in the U.S. The rest of them are just faking it.

Let's make bored panda a country where we all live together. At our homes. Isolated from each other. Only texting allowed. Houses at least 30m apart. Dog/cat/any pet of choice compulsory. The quietest nation in the world.

Good idea, but with strict visiting/immigration rules. So donald chump fanboys and other kind of people that are easily offended by the internet are refused entry. It’s the only way to remain a quiet nation.

I'm an extrovert attending a college where ALL my classmates are introverts. Improbable? Maybe. But for me it's just as much of a hell as vice-versa. Feels like no one wants to hang-out, ever, and no one cares that you exist. Luckily I've got a lot of friends outside my college to make-up for it.

I'm an introvert, but I love hanging out with extroverts. Because they talk, and I listen. Because they lead and I can follow. Because they raise my self confidence. Because I'm simply in awe of them lol. All my friends and boyfriends (and now my husband) are/have been extroverts. On the other hand, extroverts also need to be nice, friendly, and understand I need some alone moments or they'll go straight to my hated list. I either love them or hate them, can't do in between!!

Introverts aren't shy. We aren't socially awkward. We don't mind talking to people, and we don't stand around like lumps pretending we don't exist. We just can't hack it for long periods of time, and we don't like it when there are too many people around. ...///... I like people fine, just not all day every day.

Fun fact: It is estimated that 2/3 of the world's population are introverts, so they're actually the majority even though posts like this make them seem like exceptions among a world full of extroverts (:

Where did you get that fact? I've consistently heard 1/3 to a little under a half are introverts.

I'm pretty much on the line between introverts and extraverts (so ambivert). I don't seem to get these clever thoughts though haha, someone tell me some of the cool thoughts you have that you can't seem to vocalize !!

How can you tell when someone is an introvert? They never shut up about it and do everything they can to draw attention to themselves.
Sara Hennings 5 years ago
That's a negative way of looking at it. Maybe they just want to be understood instead of being called anti-social or snotty or standoffish

Most of these are about social anxiety and not about introversion at all. Very annoying. They are not the same thing. Introverts are not necessarily shy or socially anxious!
