Introverts In This Online Group Are Sharing Painfully-Hilarious Memes About Being Introverts, Here Are 50 Of The Funniest Ones
InterviewIntroversion 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.
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.

I realise this was originally posted months ago, but I will add my own contribution. On spotting someone with a camera. Extrovert: Over heeer, look at mee, look at meee. Introvert: Come one step closer with that thing mate, and I'll be doing the fava beans and nice Chianti thing.
That boils down to being anti-social, since society is filled with drama, stupidity, and fake people.
Most people DO NOT call me for fun . . . they call me because I can solve problems, offer solutions, actually do something instead of talking. Sorry, only one bail-out per potential friend and most people abuse that. LOVE to get messages but don't have to answer, only the people I love and trust deserve my friendship.
This is a bit harsh....and inaccurate. The "drama, stupidity, and fake people" as used here is really another issue. This attitude really IS anti-social, and probably condescending, standoffish, etc. JoyfulZebra gets it right, in that folks who are actually Introverts can get exhausted from just being with or around others.
Yes yes yes yes I'm so glad some one thinks the same way I love this website
I just get tired of hearing what everyone says is wrong with the world and trying to push their opinion down my throat hoping I'll regurgitate it to someone else. Or trying to get into my personal space. Or gossiping about the neighbors. Or listening to everything I say just to repeat it and not correctly I might add. Or hoping I spill some dirt on myself or others. I mean the list just goes on.
My reason for wanting to deal as little as possible with people is mainly the stupidity. That alone is the cause for a lot of needless drama. In those drama, come all the lies, deceit and self-righteous hypocrisy. And because of their stupidity, it's not hard to see through all that. So, thanks but no thanks.
I wish people would realize this with me. Sometimes I feel comfortable enough to let people know how introverted I am. And also try to explain it. I have found its easier to talk about it when you ARE comfortable, and people honestly respect who you are and how being introverted takes a lot out of you in social situations. But I'm still looking for a welcome mat for my door. One that says, Just because it says welcome, doesn't mean you are!
My welcome mat is upside down. It reads welcome on one way out my door. Nobody gets to see it because I don't have anyone in our ( husband, dog, and me) home. If only I could declare it sovereign ground.

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.
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.

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 liked the post about an introvert woman that was invited to a Halloween party and she said she was going as Amelia Earhart and never showed up.
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.”
Me thinking that they're just being polite and they actually hate me
OMG! No you cannot call me! Who makes phone calls? Just leave a voice mail, which i haven't checked since 2004.
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.

Wrong. Someone will always love you, regardless of what attitude you have, what looks you have or what you do. I'm serious. Even if you really don't believe it, it's true. :>
Maybe that's how serial killers are made? They're just introverts who kept being bothered by other people, so they killed them just to get some damn peace and quiet! 🤔
Honestly I would want the power of healing. I would love to be able to take people's pain and suffering away and it would be a bonus if you could use the power on yourself as well.
whenever someone asks if your dying just say "only on the inside". it's smooth.
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.

Hi! I'm just here to point out that introversion and social anxiety are not the same thing. I know plenty of introverts who are witty, talkative people and just don't have the energy to put up with everyone else.
I cannot be the only introvert tired of people confusing shyness and social anxiety with introversion
Not all introverts are quiet and shy. Introverts get their energy by being alone; extroverts are recharged by social activity. I’m an introvert but I love having small (very small) gatherings at my house—but I am able to be sociable without being awkward.
That's my position...I love social interaction, I just have to plan for the expenditure of energy and the recovery from same.

The amount of "introverts" (they're clearly socially anxious, not introverts) who are straight up talking about killing people here as a way to deal with their anxiety makes me really glad I finally gave up trying with the two socially anxious people I know. Get help, people.
I have a HUGE problem going somewhere without an actual purpose. Parties, friend visits, etc. I don't have a reason to be there other than to be there. It drives me nuts.
Most of this is describing ✨social anxiety✨ but i mean. i have both so really just people being around me for more than an hour is pure suffering
#38 … Is so true. I’m such an extrovert. I love events, I like going on large stages/conferences and talk to thousand of people about what I’m passionate about. Love loud full of people environnement. Talking to people makes me feel comfortable and relaxed. Makes me deeply happy. ALL my closest friends(an partners) are introverts. Always quiet brunch just us.Talking on FaceTime. Watching a movie «together» (sometimes over Discord) and talking about books, plants, geek stuff. Being their exit route at parties ;) texting themselves out of social events (it helping them survive the aggravation that is an event that is dragging on lol). I go out, and when I’m back, I tell them all about it! Perfect match!
If you asked me about a superpower it would be shapeshifting. If someone approaches turn into a bit of moss on the wall
