Look, not everyone wants to spend Friday night partying. Some of us want to roll ourselves into a blanket burrito and watch a movie at home. Alone. And without having to justify ourselves for it.

We're not ungrateful if we want to avoid our friends for a day or two. Nor are we defective if our mind goes blank when we meet new people. We're just (a bit) antisocial.

If you're one of these people (or simply want to understand your introverted friend better), there's an Instagram account dedicated to portraying this life in memes.

It's called FOGO. The acronym stands for The Fear of Going Out, and the one running it says this feeling is completely normal.

Yep. And I am not shy. Or arrogant. Maybe a bit. The point is, it's okay not to talk.

I get real sick and tired of my daughter (the quiet kid in class) being called out for her quiet thoughtfulness by Teachers. She gets excellent grades, she takes part when she has something to say but at every single parents' evening it's the same bullcrap "Oh if only she'd talk up a bit more in class" (most of the time she can't because the loud mouthy kids talk over her but the teachers aren't interested in dealing with that).

Someone I had just met (but already had made me dislike her) said to me in front of a bunch of people: "You're awfully quiet." I gave no reaction and remained silent. After a while she said, "Why aren't you talking?" I said - very slowly - "Well, you said I was quiet, and I didn't want to show everyone how wrong you were." Whether you're an introvert or an extrovert, no one is entitled to your thoughts.

People see quietness as some kind of fault - shy and insecure. Some people are just naturally quiet and prefer quietness. Unfortunately LOUD trumps QUIET every time. If you are ever on a committee make sure you are the minutes secretary; that way every word you say will be recorded. People just don't listen to quiet people.

Many people are garrulous. They speak much, but often have little to say of any importance. For many of them, being with a person who appreciates silence is unnerving. I see this all the time, because I am one who appreciates silence.

    I was going to say, "Downvote Devil's Advocate all you want, but he's correct." But then I thought of the squirrel -- TRUE STORY -- in my neighborhood who would eat through a plastic trash bag at exactly the right spot to access the avocado remains -- twice a week, every week. Nice small hole in the bag. And he'd sit on the sidewalk nibbling away so prim and proper, you'd just want to buy him a China tea set.

    The term introversion was popularized by Carl Jung and describes an inwards orientation to one's own mental life rather than the outward orientation of extroverts to social life. Introverts gain energy from reflection and lose energy in social gatherings.

    However, it's important to point out that most people are neither total introverts nor pure extroverts but display features of both—they are the so-called ambiverts. Almost everyone needs occasional solitude to replenish their energy.

    I’ve never understood this point. It’s not like he gets $31,000 back as a tax refund. Charitable contributions can be deducted from your taxable income, but they don’t allow you to save more in taxes than you paid for the donation.

    But cultures differ in how they value certain personality traits, and America, for example, likes its extroverts. This society rewards assertiveness and encourages people to speak up.

    Experts are guessing that the number of introverts as extroverts is the same, but the former is less visible and certainly less noisy so it's easy to think they're the minority.

    Introverts are drained by too much social interaction and are the first to leave a party. Even as children, they usually observe first and act later.

So I was hurrying to the hospital with her, but a sports event had just let out and I had to stop for lots of people crossing the street and they were taking their sweet time, goofing off in the middle of the intersection, and my elderly mom was puking and semi-conscious, and I wanted them to hurry the f**k up and get out of the way, but was afraid to honk because people get angry and do dumb stuff when they think they're so important they can't ever just get the hell out of the way sometimes.

    I was stopped at an interesection yesterday near a grade school where there was also a school crossing. A group of 30 or 40 little kids was crossing there, so traffic was backing up a little, and people were getting angry and honking because the light was green but traffic was backed up. Criminy, folks, switch to decaf or something!

    Some research claims that the inherent differences between introverts and extroverts lie within the dopamine system in the brain, which makes pleasurable rewards (including social interaction) more salient to extroverts. This suggests that extroverts may be more likely to experience positive emotions.

    Even though introverts are generally likely to report lower levels of happiness than extroverts, this does not mean that they are destined to be miserable. The good news is that a consistent theme in happiness research claims our choices and behaviors (the ones that are in our control and changeable) have significant effects on our well-being.

    I love Japan and it’s the only international travel destination I have ever been to and no one in my family gets it. They tease me about being such a japanophile, but the truth is I’m not really into the traditional things that most Americans obsess about Japan for. Yeah anime and manga are cool enough and Tokyo is eclectic to say the least, but the secret reason I go there over and over is they have amazing amazing restaurant I really love by the hotel I stay in that has a button you can press and you will be completely ignored from start to finish unless you press that button. Completely. Ignored.

    on the upside, if you live long enough you re-enter this life stage. Old people think nothing of speaking their minds. I walked into a hospital room once with my therapy dog. The lady said "YOU'RE FAT" as I walked in... which made me laugh, and here I thought I was hiding it so well! The nurse rolled her eyes as she was leaving the room and said "isn't she the sweetest thing?/s"

    See someone you know. Smile automatically, open your mouth as if you're about to talk or say their name, glance over their shoulder, let your eyes go wide, your jaw drop and mutter "oh my GOD!" and run past them to somewhere else. They will never follow, and they'll never ask what happened. You're welcome.

    That's like the all white painting. The painting was entitled "Cow Eating Grass". When the patron asked the artist where the grass was, the artist replied "the cow ate it all". When the patron asked where the cow was, the artist replied "since he ate all the grass he left."

    According to Derrick Carpenter, a positive psychology coach at Happify, a helpful tip for those with introverted tendencies is to try to see their whole self. "It’s important to note that the scale on which introversion and extroversion are measured is just that: a scale," Carpenter wrote in VeryWell Mind. "Within each of us lies some tendency to recharge our batteries through social interaction and affiliation with others and another tendency to recharge on our own. Be honest with yourself about what you need in a given moment and allow yourself permission to have it."

    ADVERTISEMENT

    In other words, when calling a friend to hang out feels right, make a lunch date. But if you’d rather curl up with a good book, go for it.

Walking out of the office it's summertime and I was killing it in a tank top and Jean mini skirt, jeep full of hot guys pull through the parking lot behind me whistling and honking and I turn around with one eye open face sagging and drooling all over myself and not even thinking tried my hardest to half smile and wave. I've never seen a vehicle turn around and speed off as quickly as they did. I still die laughing every time I think of what I must have looked like because their faces were priceless!

    Yes, I live near Yosemite so I go there often and I have had to share the trail multiple times with people who are hiking while blasting their speakers. The beach I can understand, even if I don't agree with it, but on a trail??

    I remember being on the beach in Mauritius with some arsehat having a shouted Skype call to someone back in the UK. Everyone was giving her dirty looks, she didn't bat an eyelid.

    Carpenter also thinks introverted behavior has an upside that often gets overlooked. "Introverts tend to be better problem solvers, perform better academically, exhibit stronger regulation of their behavior, and are less likely to take risks that may cause them harm," he said.

    "Research shows that introverts may experience these benefits as a result of having more gray matter in their prefrontal cortex, the area at the front of the brain that controls complex and abstract thinking, emotion regulation, and decision making."

    Yes. Teens eat absolute horrible things, they stink to high heaven, they trash the place, they bring their stinky friends who help them, and eat all the sweets. Just when you get fed up, one of these gnarly beasts walks over, bear hugs you until you hear your ribs crack and says, "I love you mom" then disappears! Like it never happened and you are left, loving them all over again.

Doesn't look right, but ok. Our regular cashier greeted us. As she was ringing us out, she said- the kids finally moved out. Our lightbulbs were a little dim, but brightened up when we both said YES at the same time

    An introvert can have any hobby that doesn’t require a crowd of people. You can sew by yourself. Same with knitting, sculpting, throw pots, collect whatever you enjoy collecting, etc. Hell, if you’ve got the room, you can make furniture, restore classic cars, or any other hobby that needs room. The possibilities are nearly endless.

    Remember that in many classical and theological perspectives on happiness from Aristotle to the Buddha, spending time alone and contemplating the meaning and purpose of our lives is a necessity.

    "Learn to embrace your unique introvert qualities and tap into the happiness they bring you, whether that’s teaching yourself something new, exploring nature on a solo trek, or cultivating your creative side," Carpenter said.

    a friend from college recently found a lost brother her parents gave up for adoption more than 30 years ago thanks to an ancestry test. I don't know the details about why they gave him up for adoption, or if my friend knew this beforehand, but at least for him this brought a sense of closure since all his life he wanted to find out his origins, but his adoptive parents weren't given any info about his real family. He took the test and nothing happened, but coincidentally, she took the test too some time later, and she was notified she had a match in the database, so close that it must be her sibling, and that's how they connected.

    But when you feel like leaving your safe little cave, own it. "Particularly when you are already going to be socializing, act the part of an extrovert," Carpenter suggested.

    "This doesn't mean you should be inauthentic. Just bring more of your real self. Be an extroverted introvert. Harness that rich inner world of yours and jump into the conversation more, share your opinion, crack a joke, and take the spotlight every once in a while."

    as a non native speaker, it took me a while to understand, but by reading the comments in here and on the actual Tweet, I think she means she thinks she's not that smart, yet it haunts her to know there are SO many people much stupider than she is. Like, she considers she should be at the lower side of the smartness chart, so there shouldn't be that many people less smart than her, but there are, LOTS of them lol

    In fact, studies, where introverts were instructed to act like extroverts in a group of people, showed they ended up experiencing greater positive emotion than introverts acting normally (in fact, they rated their positive emotion higher than the naturally extroverted people, too) and reported feeling more authentic at the moment.

Some of my family are antivaxxers and I was so upset they gave people Covid. Everyone that came was supposed to be vaccinated but I found out later they weren't. Ultimate betrayal. Elderly people were there like my stepdads mom. Thank god she didn't get it. Can't believe the utter selfishness from my moms own sisters.

    I would have agreed with this 3 months ago when SA had less than 500 Covid cases in total, the WHOLE pandemic. But since end of November to Beginning of February we have now had over 120,000 cases and I know 8 people personally who have just had Covid. Now it's just the waiting game for us to get it.

    There are also those who sleep most of the day and stay up most of the night to avoid people who expect them to do something, There is little expectation of productivity in the middle of the night so not as much guilt.

    There are plenty of ways to go about it. "If you're not socializing much, encourage yourself to connect with others in the ways that work well for you," the psychology coach said.

    "Join a group to take part in an activity you already love, like a choir, book club, or fitness class. Even though initiating these decisions may feel like an extra effort, the payoff should be noticeable. When you realize you acted more extroverted in a way that felt good, keep it up."

    Whatever happens in these settings, you will always be able to retreat and find memes to scroll through instead!

    In Ireland we love to compliment but are awful at accepting them. If someone tells you 'i like your dress' the response is 'this thing, the state of it , sure its only cheap, i only threw it on myself this morning' etc etc. It could still have labels on it but it's just what we do. Now if someone gives a compliment and someone says thanks well, you would be labelled a poser, full of notions about yourself, big headed and probably foreign. 🙂 Irish people are all about the modesty

    I've notice the Irish folks tend to downplay their illness and pain as well! I ask do you have any discomfort during stress tests, Irish patient ah no, I'm just fine.

    I've learned to just thank the person and move on with life. Whether I deserve the compliment or not, we're all happier for just accepting it; some people just really love complimenting others. Also, introvert bonus, "thank you" is fewer words than any argument.

    Think of compliments as a physical gift. It helps. When someone hands you a gift, you tend to say thank you. A compliment is a verbal gift.

    Given the context, NEVER being anxious or depressed may not be a realistic goal. A Buddhist perspective would say to welcome whatever feelings come, even ones that we don’t like or want around. It’s all part of the human experience, feelings come and go we don’t have to take them so seriously, we can learn to be kind to ourselves however we happen to be feeling in the moment. Paradoxically the more we resist them the more they persist! All that being said, humour helps too.. I came across this meme the other day that said, ‘You are a ghost driving a meat-covered skeleton made from star dust, riding a rock hurtling through space - fear nothing!’ I love this perspective and it made me laugh. I hope you find peace in this uncertain world.

    And maybe let's normalize allowing people that thrive under wfh to continue to do so in order to acknowledge the fact that it's isn't wfh that's good for them, it's the aggressively noisy, disruptive office that is toxic to their concentration and productivity.

    Once or twice a year, some of us women would go to talk to HR and vent about our unfair treatment. It got so that the bosses, all men, were becoming very nervous when they thought we women might be offended by something.

    From the head of a church who decided in 1331AD that their clergy should become celibate so their worldly possessions would revert to the church, rather than their families! Also, the Dalai Lama said that the biggest problem the world faces today is overpopulation. Guess which one has a clue?

    We have 5 cats inside all strays, 4 of which are related and taken in over the course of 10 years, and another 4 that live outside....which are also related to the 4 inside cats and are 20th generation. All 4 of the related kitties are sprawled across me as i'm writing this, despite the fact that they hate each other, they love me more. A child could never, ever bring as much satisfaction or happiness as the previous sentence.

    My therapist would not stop snapping one of the 8 to 10 rubber bands she had on her wrist throughout our sessions, but I still valued her input, since years of dealing with depression made me amazing at solving everybody else's s**t, while still being totally floored by mine. To the one above I would be like "so you think you can help me based on stuff you read in a book? I don't think so."

Everyone's looking at me to know what to do and I'm scared out of my fn mind right now!!" When it's all over my boss asks my if I'm ok. Me:Oh ya. No problem. Then I go back to work like nothing happened. For all the Healthcare workers and other essential employees that keep a hospital functioning during 2 years and counting of covid, multiply this by a gazillion. PLEASE GET VACCINATED!!

Although a nice pile of clothes you can hide in for a nap will distract them from the shouting.

Yeah. It's really awesome whenever we're given explicit examples of people not seeing anything beyond their own convenience.

    Disassociation is actually pretty scary and not something that can be easily snapped out of... It's like calling people who are a bit perfectionist at organisation as people with OCD. Mental illness isn't a laughing matter, it's pretty serious. I get that this is meant to be light-hearted, but ... you know. Time and place and all that.

    2 I got already. It’s a quite elderly couple, maybe late 40s? Or 50s? They wear really weird clothes, almost like pjs. But that’s not even the problem. They smell! Like 5-10 meter of reeking cloud of hell. The first times, I thought what died in here. And made the mistake to pass them, when one was talking. And if you thought it couldn’t get worse with the body odour, the smell of his breath could be a chemical weapon. I was never disgusted by anything more in life...and I watched horror movies like Martyrs and the Saw movies. Whenever I see them now I take a large wide bow around them, or skip grocery shopping altogether.

    That's amazing to me. I have multiple inner voices. Not like split personalities, but in the sense that I can full-on argue counterpoints in my head against myself. It's always in words, but usually at a speed faster than you could speak or type (replying to your response below.) The differences in human minds/thoughts/experiences is incredible.

    Actually, yes. Everyone assumes that their own lived experience is what everyone else experiences, but it turns out that people's brains work in dramatically different ways. In addition having or not having an inner monologue, you can have or not have an inner eye or an inner ear. And the inner eye thing (who knows, maybe all of them) have a scale, so some people cannot, at all, picture things (aka aphantasia) and some can do it a little bit and some people actually do picture sheep jumping a fence when they try to fall asleep. This is a fascinating subject.. it's so far from just "no".

    Every few years I forget and tell my boyfriend "Let's actually get out for New Year and do something fun." Then New Year comes, we look at each other, and one of us asks "Do you really feel like getting out tonight?" and the other breathes a big sigh of relief and says "Oh God, no, can we just stay in?", and we both get giddy with joy and feel like we narrowly escaped being called for tribute in The Hunger Games!
