Load More Replies...Are you sure they don´t complain you don´t talk LOUD enough? Because then it would make sense
One of the most accurate tweets. I know it, because I am an introvert and I have to cope with this situation EVERY DAMNED DAY! That is the reason I usually sit in the corner of the classroom next to the window and read books.
lol i really need to borrow this one lol I typically make plan a week or two out, and by the time the date approaches, I really just want to stay in, cuz .... peopling is tough sometimes.
Same here. No matter how much I feel like not going, I still do because I PROMISED. Their time is just as precious as mine. It we made a deal, we keep it.
Load More Replies...Oh yes, that moment when a memory of something I did "wrong" in a conversation long past suddenly pops up and still feel as embarrassed about it as when it happened.
THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME MORE TIMES THAN I CARE TO SAY i wish i could erase time
Seriously, that's usually due to the other. Nonresponse, which is essentially hostile.
I can't help myself, I go crazy doglady at parties anyway and plain crazy for cats. (I'm super allergic to cats and still go pet them)
Load More Replies...Yep, that's me. My husband says "just introduce yourself and start talking" but then he's an extrovert and it's easy.
Or find a quiet corner and lean against the wall and watch people, wishing to God you could go home
And be provided with there own cat(or just bring one from home)
Load More Replies...It's a special decentralized club with no agenda or members that never meet and don't know each other. I look forward to not meeting you there at the next time we don't get together.
Ain't no party like an introvert party, cause an introvert party never existed in the first place
Why?? why do they always need to do that in every possible class if they're going to forget everybody's name right after it
I always forget their names because I'm trying to fight through the brain fog of the adrenaline and the racing heart and say more than 'blarghblurghugh' when it's my turn :') No way I'm listening to anyone else lol! But then again I'm like this every time I meet anyone.... makes for awkward future encounters :')
Load More Replies...I hate when we have to stand up and say something interesting about ourselves. UGH.
Ahahah, true! I'm like... "There's nothing interesting about me". Then when everything is done, I come up with something actually interesting about myself in my head and regret not saying it.
Load More Replies...Ugh, just make everybody wear a badge for a few weeks, I can't help but forget all those names within seconds of the introductions.
I always stutter and it makes the situation 10 times worse cos i sit there stuttering for 3 minutes looking like an idiot :/
Worst part was when you were first. Always sit strategically so you can hear at least 10 answers before having to answer yourself. That way you can construct your answer to be not memorable by mimicking what others say. Saying what I actually thought to questions like "why are you taking this class" would make me memorable by being abnormal, so obviously the last thing I wanted to do. Worst class ever was a math class where the prof took us to the park for group therapy. Seriously. He asked for volunteers to sit in the middle of the circle and answer personal questions.
Or you feel like you have be funnier than anyone else who introduces themselves and if you aren't you have failed.....
This is more of an #extravertProblem. they never get to do some good gaming or reading done.
I've heard this a million times. People say i'm quiet and shy, but really I haven't warmed up yet!
I wasn't sure yet when was the right moment to be myself.. hehe
Load More Replies...This is a perfect way to describe an introvert :D I'd like to add to that; once some of us introverts start talking, we won't shut up.
I was told by a good friend that I was an entirely different person when she and I were away from home and it was just us
It is a compulsive need for attention or approval. Try it the other way round for a while and you will find out.
Sadly I'm a b***h with anger issues when I'm comfortable around people. I'm pretty sure people regret getting me out of my box
"Darn it, I was TOTALLY looking forward to that party! It is SUCH a shame it was canceled! Oh no!"
True! And to add to that, silence is not necessarily a bad thing while hanging out together
Whenever I'm with my friends and there is a lapse in the conversation, there are usually a couple of people that will mumble something or other about the "awkward silence," to which I reply, "it's only awkward if you make it awkward. And I'm only making it awkward for you!" I say this while glaring creepily into their eyes. We are all introverts, but a few of us, including myself, become very ecstatic when we are together, since we meet so rarely.
If I am really good friends with someone it a not a awkward silence, because I get use to it.
No, no and no. I am an introvert too, but I kinda hate it when people cancel last minute because I had PREPARED for this, and it feels like betrayal. My time is precious and I'm not that flexible.
That's actually pretty cool. At least you know who your real friends are now after that. As for the gig part that I mentioned, I really don't mind going by myself because I like to be the photographer of the night (I'm getting into that kind of career path). Also, I end up meeting some interesting people. I can be very shy and an introvert but once I feel comfortable with them, I'm my crazy self :D
Load More Replies...I relate to this one a lot. When it comes to matters of the heart, or point making, i articulate myself in terms of writing. However, my humor is almost always better in person.
well of course because you can use emotions and movement
Load More Replies...Yeah, I'm fine with public speaking and can usually do okay, but only if I know what to say in advance. When people I am unfamiliar with (trust-issues, anyone?) try to hold a conversation with me, I begin to communicate like a newborn ape. It confuses people when I'm social in one class (talkative, enthusiastic, and sarcastic) and behave like a mute in another (I literally answer questions in sign language, even though the teachers don't know what I'm saying). Many classmates probably question my sanity...
This is me when people want to sing happy birthday to me, on my birthday. Yeah, I hate that. That's why I never buy a birthday cake, I can avoid the embarrassment.
My survival tactic is keep it short. Like tell them my name and if feeling wild, tell also my family name.
Back in HS, some 48 years ago, I had to take a summer school English class because I refused to read my book report in front of the class and it was 50% of our final grade.
You know? I've realized that's only a problem when you're the first to speak. My solution: listen to all the people before you, take the least specific things from their speeches and when it your turn, just change the name to yours. Works everytime. You don't sound strange. And nobody remembers you xD
Not so much the bottom right: you'd need other people to come rescue you when your house falls in the water... #erosion
funny to see so few think of this and actually so many want to live there xD
Load More Replies...This is totally me. All of these. Maybe the most that house on the cliff over the sea. Nothing around for miles!
When your boyfriend introduce you to his friends and family and you just look everyone and say hi.... then run away and change your name
I had a horrible boyfriend who introduced me to relatives and scorned me for not paying much attention to the last relative he introduced me to. Yeah but she was just the girlfriend of somebody and I was still trying to remember the names of the first few people I was introduced to. Dumped him not long after.
Load More Replies...When you finally want to engage in a group conversation: the moment you want to say something, someone else starts talking again.
Yup.. and then act like you forgot what you wanted to say and pretend to think about it while awkwardly trying to disappear...
Load More Replies...Fully agreed! Also, that one friend who is always like: "Mhm, I'm listening." while keeping their attention to their smartphone -.-
Not necessarily evil, just extremely strange and crazy. And we love it!
One of my friends described me as "evil lite". Evil that doesn't LOOK evil. ;)
Load More Replies...I hate group work. The people who talk most, get their will- all the time.
Hiding is good, but in my case it would be inner dialogue that eats me from inside
Load More Replies...I am in my best when I am alone. Every working group at school I happen to be forced to go in is total disaster.
...trying to comment on how true this is ....deletes everything...tries again ...delete...I'll just let someone elts comment
LOL or when your friend just doesn't introduce you to the friend that they bump into; so you just stand there thinking "why won't they just disappear? Or at least introduce me to I'm standing there, staring, while pretending to agree to s**t"
Agree with that. A friend didn't bother and I thought how rude of her. And her acquaintance was even ruder and invited me friend over but to come alone as she didn't want strangers in her home as she looked over to me for a second. Other than that the acquaintance didn't acknowledge my existence. As soon as she walked away I told my friend in a loud voice that her acquaintance was a rude cow and she would be a fool to visit her.
Load More Replies...Isn't is wonderful not to be an introvert Sophie. So many possibilities.
Load More Replies...when you can't remember these people's names too #goldfishmemoryintrovert #doubleawkwardness
Yes! Same goes for me. No-one would describe me as shy because as a kid I learned you had to be happy and excited in social situations but I hate it. Yet, somehow I never stopt acting happy and excited, people that don't know me think I'm such an extrovert.
And still too many extroverts do not want to listen to the fact that it can take so much of our energy :(
This. So much. I was just laughing at these tweets and telling my wife how I can relate and she said "b******t, remember [one of latest social situations]? you really shone back there, you didn't act awkward at all". Yeah, I wasn't awkward. I was too busy burning through my reserves of self-confidence to act all nice and friendly. And every day looks like this, because I just happen to work with *people*. Ugh.
Oh the energy drain is amazing. My coworkers think I'm the most humorous witty social butterfly. They don't understand that my humor is a way to not be total misfit in public eye. I confided in one woman that I'm really actually shy and a major introvert. She laughed telling me as she slapped my shoulder " you're such a comedian" Yeah I took a nap after work that day.
I like to perform (because I like to have everyone's good opinion before I can have my own about myself, another fantastic introvert specialty), and now I can sing or dance before people without much excitement but afterwards I feel like I need a month long vacation from people :D...
When I'm not in the mood to answer questions verbally in class, I just spell them out in sign language. My teachers don't know what I'm saying, but since I generally know what's going on, they don't tend to ask me questions. Whenever I do answer them, my voice, which tends to be raspy from long silences) is louder and clearer than most people's, and I am usually outright with my answers. Or when we have presentations, I'm the most audible and clear speaker, and don't say "umm" or include other hesitations often. It confuses people a ton that I do so well in presentations while never speaking in social ways to others
Very well put but you forgot about the solace found in a blanket and a good book. It isn't quite so easy with those who "need" people.
Load More Replies...I actually love not having friends I need to attend to. I was fortunate to marry my best friend, he and I are the bestest introverted couple together.
Unknown numbers are pretty much the only ones I answer... I know it'll be a wrong number so I get excited realizing it doesn't even matter if I make a fool of myself, I'll never meet this person anyway ^-^
+ 1. i still love him, though - i guess phonecalls are even worse for him.
Load More Replies...This is me in Calculus... I have really high anxiety, and asking anyone, especially an adult or a teacher for help tends to cause an anxiety attack. My parents often ask me why I don't go in for tutoring (Calculus is impossible), and it is because it is terrifying to speak with her. I think what it is for me is the fear of appearing weak or vulnerable, and since I'm a generally "nerdy" person, I hate seeming stupid. I would rather her think I am lazy than confused...
True, today I saw someone reading one of my favorite books before class, and I spent the next few minutes debating whether or not to mention it to them. Needless to say, my decision was that I had waited too long to say anything, and that, therefore, I had an excuse not to say anything.
Kinda same. I used to tell her reasons as to why I "shouldn't be permitted to go" or would pretend to ask her and then say we are busy.
Load More Replies...The three dots of "your friend is typing" can also be very nerve-wracking
Or...when your friend hooks up with someone giving you the opportunity to leave the party and don't feel guilty about doing so
Gosh, Nathalie, I wish I thought of that in my late teens - early 20s! Clearly, my brain wasn't switched on LOL!
Load More Replies...When they sign you up for a team sport because "it would be good for your social skills" *weeps silently*
Sometimes I pretend to be talking on the phone with someone so people won't talk to me :) People who know me to well though know I'm lying lol... I don't ever actually talk on the phone ahahaha
imagine the phone starts ringing as you're doing it... i guess you mute... i should do that !
Load More Replies...PRO TIP: staring creepily into people's eye makes them uncomfortable. They will leave you alone for long expanses of time if you do so. PRO TIP: carrying a book around, which you can use to fake reading, not only makes you seem unapproachable, but also intelligent. It strikes fear into people who try to converse with you.
It freaks me out when people are nice. My thoughts: "strange person holding door open...may be plotting my death," "teacher asks me how I'm doing; may be searching for blackmail," "acquaintance offers me snack; may be trying to poison me."
I'm the early one, so the group effect is gradual, versus being late and getting the full dosage at once. Also, being late would have all eyes on you at once and there's not a large enough dose of Xanax for that...
Smartphones have made this infinitely easier. See kids, back in my day you just had to stare at the turned off tv.
If there's a pet at the party you know where to find me for the rest of the night.
Was just gonna say, that I'd only need the pet-option of those up there
Load More Replies...Most of times I say I will come. Than, the day before That Day I'm "having a cystitis again, wont leave the toilet, hurt so much, cant comeSoSorry!TT".
Though I am a full introvert myself I have to say it's rude and backstabbing to chicken out in the last minute. I have done this and I have had friends like this. Just be honest about why you don't want to go and do it in advance, since (even though you don't like it), they still invited you because they think you're a nice person to hang out with.
Kinda depends on the person tho. I have friends that I can be honest to and say 'sorry really not my thing' or, closer to the date 'I don't have the social energy', but some people just don't accept that. And if they don't accept me for my limitations I feel very little responsibility toward them :p
Load More Replies...I haaaate teachers that do that ugh... What is there reasoning behind this? "Let's see, no one knows the answer... If no one will willingly make a fool of themselves, I'd better pick someone to fail miserably"
it's not that no ones knows, it's that no one want to make the effort to answer...#knowthat #beenthere
Load More Replies...Me (thinking): (For the love of god, there are 25 other students to pick from!)
I imagine this is how my parents felt after this big blabbermouth left every Sunday night when she used to come over, unexpectedly; talking so bloody loud that she'd wake up the neighborhood.
I was 5 or 6 at the time. Believe me when I say this. She used to come late as hell on a Sunday night (my parents used to have to be out of the door by 5am Monday-Friday as they worked pretty far); and this stupid woman used to leave close to midnight after she was repeatedly told to come early and leave early, to GTFO or not come over at all. She used to be my caretaker too, after she locked me in the bathroom and yelled at me for doing nothing. Crazy woman LOL!
Load More Replies...Man these tweets make it seem like I'm the only introvert who loves the outdoors... Doesn't any other introvert like outside?
I love the outsides! As long as I can enjoy it by myself, or even better, with a dog by my side
Load More Replies...I like being outdoors ... anywhere really ... just on my own though!
Covid lockdowns were a dream come true for this introvert. Hearing about extroverts losing their minds over no social contact, some even needing therapy after, was baffling to me.
yep ! i'm constantly sleep deprived 'cause i need my two hours alone time before i can go to bed, and my kid NEVER wants to sleep. ever.
That's not to do with introverts, that's to do with not being a morning person... I absolutely love mornings :)
My advice : speed up, as if you were late and NO TIME to share. No, nothing more than a "hi ! Sorry, I'm late !". It works. It always works.
Not when you're both heading for a commute and you know it doesn't arrive until 5 minutes later, so not only you'd have to meet them but also wait with them for ENTIRE 5 MINUTES. I missed my tram so many times trying to avoid this...
Load More Replies...Can someone PLEASE get this for me? But just mail it to me. Wait no I don't want to talk to the delivery person. Just put it on my doorstep. Wait no, I don't want to go outside. I KNOW! Please send it to me by flying turtle. It can come in through my window and I DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING YAY!
Maybe I can send you a puppy carrying the box full of supplies and he can be the one to jump into your window.
Load More Replies...Me: Calls in sick on my birthday because the company always throws employees a birthday party...
*Random extrovert starts to choke you* So....now that I'm allowed to talk to you...want to hang out tomorrow at 5:00 PM?
Load More Replies...TRUE THAT DANG IT. It hurts to smile for that long, but it's better than everyone asking, "Are you ok?"
Me: "ohh, just thinking evil thoughts". Let them take it as they may!
Load More Replies...I'm curious to know why extraverts like staying at parties that long... What are you doing that makes you so happy to flail your arms around for 8 hours @_@
Same! Just not with the same amount of grace as that guy...
Load More Replies...This right here. I had to go to summer school one year because I refused to read my book report in front of the class. Even detention wouldn't work. I actually enjoyed that detention because, other than the teacher, I was the only one there.
Load More Replies...Luckily I am in online school this year so it's easier to participate when all I have to do is type in my answer.
Hence why I don't host any gatherings. My birthdays are better spent without acknowledgement.
I'm happy with my own company and I don't want to jeopardize my happiness. Thanks for the invite.
I think this is meant for the person who wanted to talk to the introvert, not the introvert him/herself.
Load More Replies...Was forced to do this about three times at my new job. Why do they make you do this?
"I'm ____. I'm an introvert. I don't like to talk to people. Please don't talk to me."
That's because we still don't have to say anything, since we type it instead
My list would replace #3 with "Long for warmer weather even though it isn't cold yet."
Man some of these are make out introverts to seem really sad though... I love being introverted, and I like being alone, but I do get lonely sometimes, and so I also love people, just... in small doses
This is the most relatable post EVER!! I'm a middle schooler and I have only hung out at someone else's house ONCE this school year to do a project, and at school i only have a few people I am comfortable with, and I have a hard time keeping a conversation sometimes with even them.
I've been an introvert all my life, yet I still can't quite describe how my mind and personality works. Yet some of these tweets manage to give a perfect description!
Surely true introverts shun anything social, that includes Twitter. Bit ironic. I'm an introvert and Twitter makes zero sense to me.
My teacher in six grade used to do this awful thing where as soon as we entered the class we'd have to write some sort of thing that is related to a writing prompt (example: Write a story about what would happen if aliens invaded) and we'd have to finish it within only a few minutes. And the worse part? A few kids would be selected to come up to the front of the class and read their story out loud. I remember a time where I got picked to read my story and it was barely even finished, plus I had a mini panic attack in front of everyone. So embarrassing.
#50 😅😅😅... Absolutely. . Right now i am feelling .. understood. Its weird though
