Some are more excited by the prospect of a party, a night out, or even small talk than others. Understandably, what might sound fun for a social butterfly can turn into a nightmare scenario for someone more introverted.
In environments that favor the butterflies, introverts might face specific challenges or situations that quite a few can relate to.
Finding something relatable is always lovely, whether it’s a person on the same boat or online content covering something so familiar, it feels like a hug.
This type of content can be found on the ‘Introverted Struggle’ Instagram account. Using jokes and memes, it covers everything from social anxiety to spending days in the living room. We have gathered some of their best examples on this list today, so wait no longer, scroll down and enjoy.
Bored Panda turned to a licensed clinical psychologist, Leon F. Seltzer, Ph.D., to learn more about being introverted, and he was kind enough to answer a few of our questions. You will find his thoughts in the text below.

As the description reads, the ‘Introverted Struggle’ Instagram account is dedicated to relatable introvert memes, and the fact it has over 450k followers already—created just a couple of years ago, in February, 2021—proves that people must indeed find them relatable. Or funny, at least.
The account boasts a collection of nearly 2.7k posts, depicting the everyday struggles of introverts out there; and, according to Verywell Mind, they comprise roughly 25-40% of the entire population.

Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung is the one who distinguished introverts from extroverts in the early 20th century. He suggested that extroverts tend to direct their attention toward others and the outside world, while introverts do it toward their own feelings and inner state.
Licensed clinical psychologist Leon Seltzer discussed the differences between the two with Bored Panda. “Because interacting with others drains an introvert's energy, they need to follow their socializing with solitude—a much greater need for them than for extroverts, who are energized through interacting with others. If introverts are less social than their counterparts, it's because of the associated costs of such interactions.”

Load More Replies...Contrary to popular belief, introverted people are not opposed to socializing. They simply need time to recharge their ‘social battery’, unlike extroverts, who get energized by social interaction.
“It's not that they don't like people or need to have relationships. It's that they don't depend so much on these relationships to accept themselves or experience fulfillment,” Dr. Seltzer told Bored Panda. “If, in general, they prefer solitary activities, it's because these solo pursuits are ‘quieter’, and more meaningful to them than engaging with others.
Similarly, while they can enjoy talking to others, they're less engaged with them unless the subject of conversation dovetails with their interests. Extroverts can enjoy small talk, for it's compelling enough for them just to be conversing with others. But introverts dislike small talk for it doesn't seem to be worth the substantial effort to participate in it.”

My twin is like this. SO MANY minor health issues that she could help/fix with physiotherapy, exercise, and healthier eating. I even tried to get her free therapy through my own work benefits (long story) and she refused because “nah I don’t really like therapists.” But she continues to complain about how bad her depression and anxiety are. Won’t go on medication because “it’s too hard to keep up with appointments to renew my prescription every 3 months.” Won’t consider any other add-on treatments like meditation or journaling. Everyone else is the bad guy. It’s so exhausting, I know she needs to vent but after a few years it’s like GIRL no one else is coming to save you, please do something to save yourself or at least let us help!

Leon Seltzer expanded on the topic of popular misconceptions about introverted people: “It's typically assumed that introverts lack social skills, presumably because they're likely to pause more in talking to another (to collect their thoughts) and also to avoid conversing about topics that have little appeal for them. But in fact introverts' skills in appropriately discussing various matters with others are typically as good as—or better than—extroverts because they think before they speak and take the time to size up the situation more carefully, and thoroughly, than do extroverts.
“Also generally not recognized is the fact that if the conversation relates to something they deeply care about, it may be hard to get them to stop talking because they so much want to express all that they've (internally) been thinking about. Garrulousness isn't usually associated with introversion but in just the right situation they can be as talkative as extroverts, though they're far more selective about just what they talk about,” he added.

Some say that the western cultures tend to favor extroverted people. Licensed therapist Blake Griffin Edwards pointed out that, according to studies from 2014, 87% of people in the West sought to become more extroverted. Award-winning author Beverly D. Flaxington suggested that people in the US also tend to praise extroversion more, some even stating that it’s the superior type, compared to introversion.
However, one is not technically better; they’re simply different. Beverly D. Flaxington emphasized that the differences between the two lie on the genetic level, and manifest through different reactions to external stimuli.

“It's crucial to realize that introversion is not a one-dimensional topic, as so many assume it is,” Dr. Seltzer pointed out. “According to the Myers-Briggs Type Inventory, introversion has five separate dimensions, and each dimension exists along a 1-10 continuum, suggesting relativity within relativity. And, by implication, it also suggests that the way most people perceive introverts can't help but oversimplify them.”
According to Seltzer, the first dimension emphasizes that as opposed to congeniality and actively introducing themselves to others, introverts consider social amenities unimportant, leaving them to others. “They are seen as quiet and shy, even anti-social (though they're better seen as asocial, for socializing is simply less meaningful to them) and dislike being interrupted by others and having to talk spontaneously to someone without knowing in advance that they're going to be contacted. Essentially, they live inside themselves, so it takes longer for them to come out of their cocoon.”

The second dimension refers to them being self-contained rather than expressive or demonstrative, open, and self-revealing. “Introverts tend to keep their feelings and interests to themselves and are often seen by others as difficult to get to know. They also deal with their emotions internally, prefer to solve their problems on their own without asking for help, and find it hard to discuss with others what's upsetting them, so they're less likely to reach out for support when they're distressed,” clinical psychologist Leon Seltzer pointed out.

The third dimension relates to introverts being intimate versus being gregarious: seeking popularity, having a broad circle of friends and acquaintances, and joining groups. “Introverts prefer relating to a few significant others rather than being part of a large group. They need to establish trust in people before sharing much about themselves (and not out of distrust as such but for emotional comfort). They also seek close, one-to-one, in-depth involvement with others and recognize people more as individuals (expecting to be recognized as such themselves).”

As an introvert, dating an extrovert has surprising benefits. At social events, my extroverted husband takes care of the social side and I can fade into the background. However, one time no one listened to me when I said I was going home already and my absence was only realized an hour and a half later when I was already contentedly at home drinking tea and watching a streaming service.

Mom: Introverted extrovert but pretty. Dad: Antisocial and nice looking. Me: Antisocial and ugly.
The fourth dimension analyzes how reflective they are, compared to being participative and enjoying being around others. According to Dr. Seltzer, “Introverts are much better described as favoring detached observation and reflection over actively participating with the outer world. They learn best through reading and writing and, in fact, communicate best through writing (which isn't preferred by extroverts, who'd rather talk than scrupulously compose their queries and responses). They also feel more secure writing down their ideas than giving an oral presentation.”

The final, fifth dimension covers introverts being quiet versus enthusiastic, as in lively, energetic, and seeking the spotlight. “Introverts prefer calmness, serenity, even silence,” Leon Seltzer pointed out. “They are disturbed by noisy circumstances and places, don't feel a need to talk in social situations, like being with other quiet people, and prefer to stay behind the scenes, in the background.”

So my 6 year old has a speech delay and we’ve seen him really struggle with trying to tell a story about his day or really anything, just holding a conversation. I was trying to explain to my husband how when I was a kid I was terrified to talk in class. My brain basically went so fast I’d lose track of it. Teacher asks a question, I think if the answer, teacher lets someone else share first, teacher calls on me, I don’t even remember the question let alone my answer but I’m somehow thinking about how weird a bug getting stuck on a plane and ending up across the world would feel, so I say I don’t know. My husband was floored, couldn’t understand this. I totally understand my kid struggling to make a complete sentence.

Oddly, I shaved more when I was single—-you know, in anticipation of—-than I have done since I got married. My husband doesn’t care if I haven’t shaved recently. He’s a hairy guy so really doesn’t notice. We don’t have to stress ourselves out trying to look perfect, we love each other just the way we are.

I’ve always thought, if I should become single again the first thing I would do is grow out all my hair. Just to see how much I have 😶

When you’re married but in a really unhealthy and terrible relationship and just want be left alone… this sounded funny in my head when I started to write it. It doesn’t sound funny now…

This is totally me. I've just bought some very nice summer dresses and realised I'm going to have to shave my legs!

Never lived alone, married while living with my parents, got pregnant, moved with my husband to another country away from my and his parents to start a new life and all this within a few months. Good for you,Mikey! But. Why do I sometimes feel like I missed something in my life..

Just the other day I was looking at my legs up close and was like “dang, I forgot hair grows after you shave it.” Unfortunately, it seems to grow hella quicker than you think. How long was I mustache free? One week. Hairless in the pits? 2-3 days. Didn’t check my legs so I dunno. But it SUCKS, DUDE

This is how I felt growing up in a haunted house and sleeping at my dad's old place. I actually saw a very tall shadow figure in the middle of the room I was sleeping in, just standing there watching me.

I'm older than my brother so I "know things.". His kids are teens. The side eye I got last Christmas from him whilst starting to talk about one of his highschool aventures actually sent chills. Cease and desist woman. So i did.

I get this the other way round, there are stories from my life I start telling my son and then suddenly go " .. Oh!, um - never mind, that was... that was NOT appropriate"

It's amazing how a parent will hold on to the stupid s**t you did that they knew but never told you and waiting for you to slip up. My mom can't ground me anymore but she knows how to make me feel like I'm 6 years old.

My Mum used to tell me I could never get away with anything because she always found out and I'd have to bite my tongue while thinking "you're lucky to catch 10% of the s**t I get up to, oooooh the stories I could tell you...".

I’m just built like that for some reason. I just cry for basic things like if someone gives me constructive criticism or when i have slightly more work than usual. I wish I cried lesser than I do

Whenever I make a mistake and I’m corrected… whenever I accidentally offend someone… anxiety attacks and crying. Way too often.

Little Baby Jonathan is a precious role model in my house. His Get Curious show is adorable, encouraging, and informative. Provocative in the best ways. My husband and I are huge JVN fans.

I cry for it all. Good times, bad times, commercials, movies, books, verbal stories, sympathy, anger, hello, goodbye and I'll cry for it.

I was gonna say, can we make it a group challenge because then we're not drinking alone, but then I realised that I don't really like groups, so, good luck, I guess. Happy trails.

Is it just me, or the current title “introverted struggle” does not much align with the content? It’s more like mix of introvert/single/procrastination/… struggles mixed up. Hillarious though :)

"I'm slightly shy and socially awkward, if I call that introversion I don't have to learn the life skill of talking to strangers. " Sadly there's millions of people who will never experience the best things in life, people, travel, new experiences, just because they can't be bothered to feel embarrassed for a few moments. It's frustrating to see. Jump right in with both feet, be embarrassed, feel awkward, you'll soon get over it.

This list doesn't make any sense, it has nothing to do with being introverted but instead ridicules people's looks? Not good, BP.

Learn what an introvert is before choosing the memes. Most of these may be applicable to persons suffering depression, not introversion. Introverts LIKE being alone. A lot of us can do whatever we want, including social events and gatherings. But we use up a lot of mental energy during those situations and need time to recover.

1. Molly is right. 2. P's continuing series of pity parties might actually do harm by enabling and reinforcing behavior the might benefit from professional treatment. Also, it's reasonable to ask why the introverts here are so intent on getting attention. Some of these people, at least, are wallowing in their condition.

I think I counted 2 of these that were actually relevant to the term "introvert". And if I did miss a few, a few is not 45.

Okay, I know I'm going to get downvoted for this, but don't hate on the lists, please. Everything y'all keep saying is valid, yes, but I feel like complaining about the list just prolongs the negativity in your life, when you could just... move on, y'know? It's just a website, and just a list.
