Introverts In This Online Group Are Sharing Painfully-Hilarious Memes About Being Introverts, Here Are 50 Of The Funniest Ones
Interview
Introversion is a personality trait characterized by a focus on internal feelings rather than on external sources of stimulation. But the thing about introverts is that you don’t have to tell them they are introverts. Quite on the contrary, introverts have been very well aware of the fact since the dawn of time, or rather the second grade when they realized they preferred spending time with two friends max rather than a large group.
The best part of being an introvert is how well we can relate to fellow introverts without uttering a word. There’s this shared understanding of our existence we have in common, which makes us both laugh and cry, and then laugh again.
If you're wondering if you’re one of this crowd who doesn’t enjoy crowds, pull your seat closer, because today we wrapped up some of the funniest introvert memes shared on this Facebook page. Titled “Introvert Memes,” the group is home to 107.5k self-confessed introverts who totally relate to the content shared here. Scroll down for our selection of the memes below!

Or just having to be "on". Having to interact with people, even people you like and care about. The energy expenditure of just being around other people can absolutely drain me sometimes.
Belinda Jane 3 years ago
I chose to leave a field of work after several years for this reason. Loved it, went to school to be qualified for it, but just couldn't take the amount of time it required me to be "on" which I didn't anticipate. Or rather, didn't anticipate the toll doing so would take on me. Have since realized I've always been introverted and am much more suited to solitary work

Yes. I wish they wouldn't use that term. Anti-social refers to a serious personality disorder characterized by sociopathic behavior. Nothing AT ALL to do with introversion, which is simply a normal part of the personality spectrum.

Exactly. If you choose not to spend time with other people because you think everyone else in the world is stupid and causes drama, then yeah, you're antisocial not an introvert. It's such a narcissist thing to say. "Everyone else is fake, but I alone am a real intelligent person". Extroverts hate stupid, fake people too. Superior introverts who think they're better than everyone else for hiding in their rooms all day are just as bad.
Load More Replies...We often hear the terms “introvert” and “extrovert” when referring to human personalities, so this theory of two opposites is very popular. Individuals like to define themselves as belonging to one of the groups, which reflects in their behavior and lifestyle choices. But since there is an abundance of information, both accurate and not so much, surfing online about the subject, we reached out to an expert.

Bored Panda spoke with Helen Marlo, a licensed clinical psychologist and Jungian psychoanalyst who provides psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, and consultation. Helen is also a Professor of Clinical Psychology and the Department Chair at Notre Dame de Namur University and she shared some very interesting thoughts about extroverted and introverted minds and how their perspectives differ.
Marlo explained that the key difference between introverts and extroverts is in the characteristic and distinctive ways they direct and use consciousness and, consequently, how their attitude of consciousness impacts their psychic energy.
“An individual who becomes energized when their consciousness is oriented towards internal sources exhibits a more dominant introverted attitude while an individual who is energized when directing consciousness to external sources exhibits a more dominant extroverted attitude,” she explained the main difference.

Sometimes it’s just nice to sit and share silence, without feeling the need to fill it with talking. Silence isn’t a need for talking, it also isn’t a sign of not liking each other, it’s a sign you’re comfortable enough with each other to enjoy being together without having to be constantly chattering

Moreover, according to Marlo, “extroverts, who obtain more gratification from sources outside themselves, especially human interactions, are frequently described as more social, gregarious, community-minded, and oriented towards group activities.” Meanwhile, “introverts, who obtain more gratification from sources inside themselves, are typically described as more introspective, reflective, solitary, and oriented towards individual pursuits.”
What is less known about this theory of human personality is that it does not simply divide people as being either introverts or extroverts, and that it’s complex, contrary to common belief. “Rather, everyone has extroverted and introverted sides, which fall on a continuum. Jung’s theory of typology, for example, describes how the typological attitudes of introversion and extroversion interrelate with the psychic functions of intuition, sensation, thinking, and feeling, which influence how we gather information and make decisions, respectively,” Marlo explained.

To those screaming animal abuse. I've seen these lovable dunderheads pick up bricks and rocks just for fun. Pits have very strong teeth and jaws. Just holding the brick up isn't going to hurt him as much as you think. Plus he looks like he is having fun. I love all animals but this is definitely a good boy. Means the guy who raised him isn't as bad as he may seem. And he doesn't look malnourished or anything.

For people complaining about dog abuse there is no proof that a dog was actually trained to do this. First there are lists of post of dogs picking up and chewing rocks, bricks and stones on their own and their owners searching for help on getting their dogs to stop, so this may be untrained behavior. Second. The earliest post of this picture I could find was reposted picks by January 2nd 2001 on a dog Lovers Philippines Facebook post https://m.facebook.com/groups/453878384701116/permalink/3870669423021978/ it quickly went viral under the caption of or some variation of “Does your dog bite? Oh no, he throws bricks.” Before this caption about the owner training the dog and being arrested came around. (I know they could possibly be related. With the arrest coming later but I could not find any official report or reputable article about the arrest.)

The Jungian psychoanalyst said that “the introverted and extroverted attitudes and these psychic functions intersect with the panoply of inner figures in one’s personality, such as the persona and shadow, which impacts how they are expressed.” This is one reason why generalizations about the personality and activities of introverts and extroverts often do not fit into simple categories, Marlo argues.
“While the personality traits and activities ascribed to introverts and extroverts have some validity, frequently, such characterizations are overgeneralized and simplistic. For example, a frequent overgeneralization is that extroverts are not introspective or reflective while introverts are not social nor relate well to others,” she told Bored Panda.

I am an artist, perhaps this professional reciprocity with space is a big plus for me, as an introvert. About time, the picture didn't really change much for me. But still, the need to take a walk in the park or go shopping, go to the theater - this was not possible, and the restrictions themselves were very uncomfortable. Any non-voluntary restriction suppresses us.

“I’m on my way” - No, I’m not, and I won’t be. Something’s getting ready to come up that will make me have to cancel at the last minute, or maybe after that. I just have to figure out what it’s going to be.
When asked whether we are born introverts or we become them later in life, Marlo said that research finds that introversion and extroversion are, generally, a combination of factors. These factor include “what we are born with, along with what we experience in life, including influential relationships, our social and cultural world, life circumstances, stressors, and traumas.”

Good news to all the fellow introverts! There are tremendous benefits of being one, Marlo assured us. She explained: “The consciousness of introverts, relative to extroverts, is more primed to absorb, reflect upon, analyze, endow meaning, and organize external material from fellow human beings as well as the objects of our external world.”
Moreover, introverts help to make our relationships, with others and ourselves, as well as the events of the external world more meaningful! “Introverts enable us to learn from our experiences by inspiring reflection. Moreover, introverted attention fosters creativity, and when met with extroverted consciousness, it inspires innovation,” the psychoanalyst concluded.

As a social introvert I actively and happily participate in conversations, but after a bit I start feeling drained. Love it, but it's exausting. If it lasts several hours, and involves several people, I will need almost a week to recover the energy and will for another social activity. Thankfully my friends and family know me and are happy to have me when I'm feeling good to go.

I was once falsely incarcerated and put into solitary confinement. It was the perfect place, in my mind, versus being in the general population. However, when the guards began to suspect I preferred it, they quickly placed me back into the general population.

Bring a book. Having a book is always effective. Especially if it's something really obscure that nobody would have read. Nobody will bother you, and nobody will talk to you about it. You don't even have to read it. Just stare at it, and occasionally flip pages.
