In his 1920s work Psychological Types, Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung popularized the terms "introverted" and "extroverted" describing personality types. Introverts recharge by spending time alone, and they 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 of these types have their good and their 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 you judge, 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.

Awww. This one is sweet... Introverts can be the most random and outspoken people when they are around people who make them feel comfortable

I think we could make one. .. just buy the straps/ use from your luggage, some wire, not -too-thick, but not-too-thin. I'd go for some sort of fluro tape to wrap it all up in.

I'm caught in a dilemma - I love the idea of the personal space offered, but I'm cringeing at the thought of all those people looking at me like that...

In future those will be invisible forcefields. People will get an unexplainable and unresistable feeling of "keep back"

I need that! Not because I'm an introvert, but because I want to protect my pregnant belly from all the people on the subway bumping in to it all the time or.

I'm guessing random people mashing your child in his little nest gets old real damn quick. I can't imagine ever ever doing that. Even my Aunt who is like a Mom to me had to take my hand and put it on her belly. Who the hell just bangs on the little humans like that?! I've watched people do that in public and I'm just like WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?! A BABY LIVES IN THERE FFS! HANDS OFF YOU INCONSIDERATE LOUT! I don't know how you pregnant folks don't punch more people lol. I would be unruly if my wife were pregnant and people encroached on her baby nest. Zero doubt.

The folks letting this jerk walk forward could have stopped his progress. By standing still and defying him to touch them, they could have checked his rudeness. Narrow sidewalks are not designed for his touchy nonsense. I get to live in my power wheelchair so I can retain some sense of self-maintenance. Ought I give way to his personal space needs, or run him over for his audacity were he to not adjust himself for the situation? We live in groups, and life gets messy. Would shy people refrain from interaction with others during calamities? "Gee, it's hard for me to ask for help from this tornado. I hope somebody will offer aid... " There is a special place for dainty folk, who prefer solitude, but it's not cities or urban sites.

This would be funny if there wasn't a racial component here.

Great idea. ESP rage happens when online and someone touching me from behind they are so close. Back. De. F. Up.

Great idea in theory, but an introvert would *hate* the attention that would bring.

This is fun and all in this context, but in real life, on a busy sidewalk or in a bus...pretty rude.

Well, this is like everybody should be, not everything people think should be blurted out in an endless stream of consciousness (like some people tend to do, unfortunately...)

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.
