30 Of The Funniest Memes Introverts May Relate To All Too Well, As Shared By This Online Page
When you’re an introvert, the world is this magical place where the best music is silence and the greatest joy is missing out on things (hence the JOMO abbreviation, which is exactly the opposite of FOMO).
All jokes aside, an introverted life is truly a unique way to experience this world and the socialization aspect of it, so it’s no wonder introversion has become the perfect inspo for funny memes. This Twitter page “Introvert Problems” is one such humorous destination for anyone who wishes they could just stay home and read a book instead.

And an emergency cookie, yesterday I went to this gardening club I have at school and we went to these nearby woods, one girl brought an emergency cookie and now that is my secret move.
“Introversion is a personality trait which is characterized by a preference for the inner world of one's mind over the outer world with other people,” Emily Malamet, a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist from Paris Psychology Centre, told Bored Panda in a previous interview. It turns out that introversion is one of the Big Five dimensions (these are dimensions that define personalities) and is on a continuum that is opposite to extroversion.
“In comparison to extroverts, introverts enjoy subdued and solitary experiences. In addition, introverts typically enjoy one-on-one company, which seems to be more suited to the way their nervous system functions/responds,” she said.
Exactly! This was such a huge argument among my classmates, eventually we decided it was rude not to invite someone only because they never go
However, it’s important to note that our understanding of introverts and extroverts is often oversimplified and generalized. “There is often a misunderstanding of what introversion and extroversion are in terms of personality, which leads to these oversimplifications or categorial perspectives of these concepts,” Emily said.
Interestingly, people are often neither uniquely introverted nor uniquely extroverted, but may display aspects of both personality traits.
Malamet argues that the majority of the population, for example, needs solitude from time to time in order to replenish their energy. “In addition, often an introvert is often overgeneralized as someone who is shy, but there aren’t many resemblances between introversion and shyness.”
Meanwhile, “those who are shy typically want to engage with others but can be fearful to do so, and they can be very self-conscious. On the other hand, introverts can typically socialize easily, they just prefer to do so either in small groups or, sometimes, not at all.”
Hi, my name is Arunika. Fun fact: Boanthropy is the psychological disorder in which patients believe they are a cow.
Is it just me or popups are getting worse? I sometimes literally cannot read the content I want because there are 7392639 popups (notifications, cookies, ads, chats)
We are all born with an innate temperament, and parents/our environment are vitally important to how that temperament is nurtured, Malamet argues.
“However, introverts are (mostly) born that way. It is important to note that the degree to which someone is introverted or extroverted is influenced by genetics and out of all the personality traits that have been studied, introversion/extroversion has shown to be highly hereditary,” she explained.
okay but no kidding, yesterday I called the waitress 'baby' and I can't stop thinking about it
Nonetheless, there are many environmental factors, including how an individual is brought up and nurtured in their environment, which influence the expression of one’s introversion/extraversion.
“Clinical studies suggest that, unlike with extroverts, the brains of introverts do not react strongly upon viewing new human faces, and in these situations, they have been shown to produce less dopamine (which is a neurotransmitter associated with reward).”
I can’t do this anymore because I have an 8-5 job now, and I really miss it.
don't know about the "funniest" part, but I certainly am a totally different person around who I really trust
This is my life. I have 7 extroverted siblings and 14 neices and nephews, at every family event I basically become invisible, luckily my 10yr old nephew and 5yr old niece seem to be introverts too. Last Christmas we got overwhelmed with the noise and locked ourselves away in my parents bedroom and watched 2 movies, the 2nd movie was almost done before anyone noticed we were gone!
It must be kinda funny ring my doorbell and see all the lights suddenly turn off. Ghosts were busted
And in the summer (at least here in Cardiff) the seagulls come here on vacation
Hi Roller.... How are you doing? ..... I had a quick question... Do you have a minute to talk?.... My mind says shut up and get to the point already
An alternative is saying "I am almost dead", but sometimes that backfires and you have to explain yourself to the paramedics
You mean it's not? I do this a lot, especially with family and friends. I did it at work once it was to a coworker/friend who was telling a long drawn out, extremely boring story, I just turned and walked away, she shouted my name and I just said "sorry you were boring me to death and my survival instincts kicked in" luckily my friend saw the funny side and admitted her story was boring.
Yep, specially when the sky has that grey color that makes every green looks greener and the air has that kind of static electricity, you can smell the rain that is coming
When I was at Uni, my first class on Monday was English vocabulary (I'm Polish and I studied English Philology), and our teacher ALWAYS started with asking each person individually "how was your weekend?". I always had to make some s**t up. This was so painful
this is literally me every time i hear one of my teachers saying that, mostly in my chem class T^T
I kinda hated this girl because she wouldn't stop talking during the classes. My teacher ended up giving the whole class fixed places to sit, she put me in first row, this girl by my side. That was 2014. We are bestfriends ever since lol
Now will you please just shut your piehole. I can't take all your compliments.
But don't invite me too soon as well, as I'm going to cancel it
A perk of having opening shift is saying that I gotta get home to sleep and being that person
Don't forget the "We'll see," which means absolutely not and you're an idiot for even suggesting that!
Actually, it's more like - Friend to other friend: "Okay, see you tomorrow." Me (internally): "What's tomorrow? Why wasn't I invited? It's probably something awesome that I'm going to miss out on. I don't have any real friends. Never mind, I don't want to go anyway."
Not just because I'm an extreme introvert but because I'm also hard of hearing and having to say "What?" constantly and you still talking like you're in a library and annoying the c**p out of me--you know what. Just text me, you fat head! Lol.
I'm the opposite. I'm super talkative and flashy around people I don't know. BUt when im comfortable with someone i can actually just be tired around them and not talk. It's great
Change that to 10% looking for something else 70% thinking 10% praying for freedom 10% listening
I regret it every night and then can't sleep because I'm worrying about the fact that I haven't been sleeping for the past two hours
BREAKING: Introverts (probably just me) also don't want to tell you how school went, because school sucks constantly. If something good happened to me at school, I will tell you of my own will.
Oh, but those imagined conversations are so much deeper and more interesting!
Please people let's clear this: An introvert is someone who does not like socializing (which is just a character trait) and a socially anxious person is someone who gets very stressed about socializing (which is BAD and not a harmless character trait.) If you get stressed out about picking up phone calls or have to decompress hours after a meeting, you are not introverted. You are a socially anxious person.

i couldn't even finish the list it's basically the same thing every week.
I skipped to the end of this post to say these posts are redundant, old and completely miss what introversion is.
I love how this had just become an extravert bashing party. No one ever talks about how hard it is to be and extravert. No we aren't all oblivious asses, we just have a lot to say. Often I can't tell when I should stop talking, not because I'm not sensitive to you being uncomfortable but because it's just the way I'm built.
My introvert superpower is staring at the phone until it stops ringing and then googling the number.
Am I an introvert? I enjoy being alone & usually avoid socializing. However, I *LIKE* socializing & would enjoy at least some hanging out & visiting w/friends. The problem is that I'm never invited & in groups I'm usually ignored. I avoid going out because what's the point? I think I'm fun to be around, the problem is that almost nobody seems to agree w/me on that beyond the briefest of interactions here & there, like a short conversation at work. So, what tag would you give me?
Introversion and extroversion have nothing to do with how much you like people. It has to do with how you recharge your social energy.There are plenty of introverts that like people and socializing but they have a limit. Think of introversion like a rechargeable tool battery.If the tool keeps running the battery will run down until it dies has to go back on the recharger where you leave it alone until it's done recharging. Extroverts are like a car battery -- they need to have a constant source of energy (fuel/the car needs to be driving) in order to recharge themselves.
