There is no place like the internet. Especially if you are more on the introverted side. Since the beginning of time, extroverts have been put on a pedestal for being more social, outgoing, and better at life. But a lot has changed since the use of the internet boomed. Online friendships, communities, and even shopping are the new normal. The internet has provided a safe space for introverts to express themselves and connect with others without having face-to-face interactions.
But besides that, introverts are still introverts, and even though now we as a society are more accepting, some meme-provoking traits are not going away any time soon. Therefore, to laugh and reflect on ourselves, an Instagram account called introvert.feels was made. It is time to explore, normalize and make fun of what it feels like to be an introvert in the wild.
Let us know which of these is more relatable than the others in the comments below.

YES, I started letting myself make ( how I really feel )faces while we were all wearing masks. Now I keep forgetting ... Mask off = people can see you ...eek !
I've taken to literally stopping and saying out loud, "NO. Bad brain!" The intrusive thoughts were always horrible, but man are they getting worse during perimenopause.
I just turned 50 but also had a period. I am not looking forward to the next few years. Give me all the drugs!

I feel ya! Mine just doesn't have nightmares and falls asleep in minutes. Me? Well it's 4:43am and I don't know how much longer I will have to wait to finally sleep. At least, thanks to my wonderful man, I feel safe, so has almost cured my nightmares!
Load More Replies...YES! it's worse when your brain comes up with a SPECIFIC comeback you should have said 5 DARNED YEARS AGO.
And then you think "do the people who saw that cringey thing remember it and think about it constantly and laugh at me?"
my self deprecating thoughts of dumb s**t i have said or did sometimes go back to when i was 10 or younger.
The human mind is a very strange thing. At 45 years old, you are a CEO with a high 6 figure salary, but that won't stop your mind from reliving the embarrassment of that time in grade 7 when you tripped and fell into a puddle in front of the girl you had a major crush on.
These are not "introvert feels" they are mental health issues. Introversion is not a mental health issue, it's a description of temperament.
You are correct in that they are two different things. There is a complicated relationship between the two, however. For anyone interested: https://www.healthline.com/health/depression/introvert-depression

and then you can't focus the next day cause of your lack of sleep and adhd on top of that
The terms introvert and extrovert have been used only since the 1900s, but especially nowadays, it is widely known and is used to understand why another person feels and acts differently from you. In some cases, it can be quite difficult to determine whether a person belongs to one group of people or another since we all have introverted and extroverted sides to us. The primary difference between extroverts and introverts is that extroverts tend to be energized by external stimuli, such as being around other people and participating in social activities. On the other hand, introverts are energized by internal stimuli, such as their thoughts and emotions. They tend to be more reserved and reflective and enjoy spending time alone.
My problem isn't falling asleep, it's sleeping for longer than 2 hours. I like to say I sleep like a baby. I wake up every two hours screaming

My dad can fall asleep on a car in broad daylight while my mom is blasting music. I'm so jealous.
I once read somewhere that it takes most people 15-45 minutes, which, still seems very fast compared to my normal frew hours it takes for me to fall asleep, if ever at all.
No, it consists of forty minutes of restless trying to sleep and checking ur phone every six minutes, and both sides of the pillow are warm
Seriously, if someone invented the electric pillow, one that always stayed cool, I would be the first one to buy it
Load More Replies...I do.Usually takes me ten minutes to fall asleep or my over thinking keeps me awake for hours.There is no in between!
My stepdad can take a nap for 15minutes, including falling asleep, and come back like it's a brand new day for him. If I take a nap for less than an hour I may as well have not tried at all.

Load More Replies...You've hit the nail on the head with this one... and sometimes it feels like you LITERALLY have!
And for extroverts, it feels like u have hit them on the head
Load More Replies...The only difference is, the introvert is speaking reflexively and specifically hopes the interaction will end quickly if they achieve the correct lines of small talk.
Researchers estimate that extroverts make up 50 - 74 percent of the population, so there are rather fewer introverted people in the world. Though, not all introverts are at the same level of introversion. A lot of the behaviors are learned through experience. Even if a child is born introverted, by having enough positive experiences with social time, they may enjoy pushing the top of their range. Negative experiences may cause a child to become more reclusive and quiet.
My sister does. She is just like my mother - a toxic narcissist who never thinks about other people. I usually never text her back immediately after she texts me, but no matter how long I wait, she'll call me the second my reply gets delivered. If I don't pick up, she texts me "call me plz" and copy-pastes it and texts it over and over until I give up and call her back. She is an utterly horrible person.
Load More Replies...it has come to the point that my introversion has made me anxious about even a text message.
My husband every day! As soon as he gets off work he responds to my earlier texts and calls me as soon as he hits send. I have had way too many conversations about how he should text or call, not both at the same time!
actually ill text them, why would i make a call to the police if i didnt wanna make a call to a friend?

Worst part of Zoom was trusting my ability to remain on mute. Fortunately, I don't have a camera... um, that I know of...

Yes! And even if they're in the next room and *might be* listening to me.
not just introverts, that can definitely happen to everyone due to the nervousness. proof? i'm an extrovert and i can relate to this
The topic of introversion and its impact on individuals and society has been studied by researchers, writers, and experts in psychology, sociology, and other fields. They have explored how the trait of introversion, which is characterized by a preference for solitude and a tendency to be inwardly focused, affects people's lives and the way society views and interacts with introverted individuals.
Society's expectation of extroversion and constant connectivity can be challenging for introverted individuals, who may feel pressure to conform to social norms and may be drained by excessive social interaction and stimulation.

When you accidentally make eye contact with someone you know and you get your phone out and pretend to make a call. Or is that just me?
I'm an introvert, but I'm actually pretty social. Seeing someone I know makes me happy.
I'm still wearing a mask when I'm out. I keep telling everyone it's because I'm clinically vulnerable (which I am) but really it's so no one recognises me.
Do I REALLY have to go out today though? There's still that one tuna can in the cupboard.
Again face masks are so useful in this situation and my shortsighted eyes really help as well.
I just don't look at people. I'll never know if they're there usually. I also walk fast naturally and tend to accidentally ignore people.
With the world being more digital than ever, introverts can finally bloom. But socializing on the internet can have its toll as well. Some people claim that even though in real life they are introverts, online they tend to lean on the extroverted side. But for introverts in all aspects of their life, it is perfectly normal to feel as though social media drains you like a wild party.
The realization that you can feel differently about your social and online life is almost proof that they are just two different realities that coexist. So with that in mind, if we can have two separate personalities, we have the capacity to accept the reality that there are people in the world who think and feel differently than us.
So yesterday I fancied myself a real treat with what would happen if tomorrow I go to the bank and there will be people trying to rob it. I saved everyone in couple scenarios and was a real hero, just for the fun of it. But mostly I died in various ways. I also checked how it'd go if I just laid on the floor all the time being scared, but that wasn't juicy enough for my brain so I decided to think about the way I somehow get on the robber's side, unwillingly but everyone throught that I was their accomplice all along and I was panicking. Naturally, after such a turn of events I had to start thinking about the way I'd try to run and hide from the police and lead a life of a society's outcast.
wait... you guys can CHOOSE to think about this? i dont have a choice ._.
This is why I read until I fall asleep. So many "what ifs" to go through.

Shocked friends seeing you crying for the first time. But you're the strong one.

Rinse and repeat next time you need to go out for milk. On the upside though....oh, yeah. There is no upside.
Load More Replies...I think there is a conflation here between being an introvert and having social anxiety. I am an introvert, but I do not experience social anxiety. While I find social interaction exhausting, I don't find it stressful. In fact, it can be quite enjoyable. It just needs to be limited to a period of time, and I don't want to do it every day. If you invite me to your party, I will likely come. I will chat with you and your friends, and I will have a nice time. I will probably also be the first to leave. It doesn't mean I didn't enjoy myself. My ex had social anxiety. She would not enjoy herself, she would have a panic attack. She became agoraphobic before she finally sought help. Equating introverted people with people who suffer from social anxiety is like saying you have OCD because you like things tidy. They aren't the same.
That does explain why I have pernicious anemia and yet am always hot.
And you're wearing your winter coat on top of your stress because there's no place to put it while you're shopping.

Load More Replies...In high school, I always answered the teacher's first question (even if I didn't have the right answer), so I had peace for the rest of the lesson... I did a lot of soduku and drawing at the time (and went to art school afterwards, so that was a good tactic)
I would like to swap my teacher for your old teachers please! Mine will call upon me several times in one class
Load More Replies...Life hack: when the teacher asks a question, MAKE EYE CONTACT. Not too much at first, but don't deliberately look away. Just look calm. If the teacher seems like they're thinking about asking you, bring out the dagger stare. Works about 99.9% of the time
‘Psychology’ tip. You are less likely to get picked in class if you are looking towards the floor or to the opposite side of the room from the teacher. Maybe try to reach down and grab something from your bag or check the time if the clock is behind you.
The only reason I pick up when someone calls, is because nobody calls me to begin with, so it's usually something important if they call.
The only reason I pick up when someone calls me is because they texted me "hey can I call you" 10min ago and I've been able to mentally prepare myself
Load More Replies...The one time I didn't answer the phone at 10pm when my mom called and it was because my sister died. I answer the phone every time now.
Not unless you first text me, "Can I call you?" and I answer, "sure" after five minutes of mental preparation.
My kids or my hubby....everyone else gets a 10 min wait and a missed your call text

Load More Replies...Trust me, most "group projects" I had to do typically wound up solo for me anyways.
God i hateeee group projects. When we start I have a vision for how it needs to go and my autism does a great job of hyperfocusing most of the time, and I finish it all within an hour and a half with 100% credit. But with others you have to let them contribute and have to let them do the work and have to let them change your idea and I hate that. Ik that someday I’ll have to work with people at my job, but why not let me do stuff by myself while I have the option. I would rather do 50% more work on my own than work in a group.
Having to talk to other people constantly to coordinate who does what on a shared task is so distracting to my ability to get things done. There are plenty of jobs out there that let you just sit at a computer and do your own work and only have to report in to other people a couple times per week. I've done them!
Load More Replies...I'm so conflicted because I don't want to talk and deal with other people but also can't make myself focus when working alone :((
Ha... extroverts? More like "That person who depends on someone else doing aaall the work for them knowing their group partner is too introverted to speak up"
then when it doesn't get done and you have no one to blame but yourself
Love solo projects! And when doing group project, I always search for that guy who almost never shows up to class for their name and done it solo anyways
People need to get this. Some days I plan to do absolutely nothing. And that's a great plan

Crypto scams - you can do it over the internet, without meeting people. They were the rage in 2022.
I'm beginning to understand the importance of distancing ones self from reality.
I'd read a book instead if I didn't have to turn on a light and make it look like I'm at home and awake.
True, but have your friends ever paid a mentally unstable prince to sell out his family and lie on camera? See, your friends aren't so bad.
I know I'm in the vast minority and may get downvoted into a suspension, but I watched 3 of the 4 Harry interviews and find him to be a lovely, reasonable, compassionate human being, and the more context you get, the more you understand why he has done what he has done. I just feel like someone needs to stand up for him and I'm willing to lose privileges here to do it for a human being like him.
Load More Replies...Netflix needs to be reminding me about the house cleaning I'm avoiding, instead of asking if I'm still watching. I might be more productive and less annoyed that way...
What I really need is for each chore to unlock new exclusive episodes. Do the dishes? Get a new episode.
Load More Replies...They don't because apparently only introverts have feelings. These memes are less about introverts and more about selfish people with main character syndrome
Load More Replies...This isn't about being an "introvert." This is about being ignored by "friends" who 1) use social media or "Messengers," to maintain superficial level of "friendship," and 2) subsequently GHOST "our" friendship via social media. I have "friends" to whom I've literally not spoken one word in, oh... 2 years. In 2020, we stayed away from one another because "COVID," and we did occasional ZOOM meetings (hated that). I tried to reach out to these friends, individually, and was basically told they didn't have time for random discussions. I quickly realized that being single person, somewhat socially isolated (by local geography), sucks. "Urban" friends don't like to visit because "out of the way," and I don’t have easy access to public transportation. 2021 brought us vaccines, and nothing really changed, and that baffled me. Reaching out was rebuffed, again. 2022 was the worst, when I have to accept these "friends" are just GONE; but what I really don’t understand is "WHY?" I was dropped. 🤷
I've got friends that check to see where my location is (ty Google for letting my friends know I'm safe without having to reach out) besides if Netflix didn't check in then I'd miss the 2 or 3 episodes that I fell asleep watching.

Making friends as a young adult was hard! I have like 2 friends, but they've been friends with me for maybe 23 years now? I'm in my mid-30's and now I definitely revel in not having many friends.
Relatable. It really does feel SO *cringe* to get a compliment. It's a horrible experience and someone should make it illegal.
Personal opinion, the reason people find getting compliments to be awkward is because so few people are nice to each other that no one gets a chance to practice receiving compliments. It’s a skill. Here, try it out: I believe you are a wonderful person and brighten the lives of those around you. The world is better with you in it. Also, I like your shirt (whatever it is). (And the fact that I was having some trouble coming up with the words for that shows that as a society, we’ve gotten out of practice with giving compliments too.) Being nice to each other makes everyone’s lives better, let’s all try it out.
Load More Replies...Really feeling this! Every time someone compliments me - which isn't often, thank God - I try to determine if it's a stealth insult, wonder why the hell they're complimenting me at all, or I try to deflect the compliment by bringing up a counterargument, if you will. The worst are compliments about my looks, because my ugly a*s doesn't believe a single one of them.
Same. I'm self-deprecating to the MAX. If someone compliments me, even if they are sincere, I always laugh, say "haha yeah but..." and offer a counter-argument that is basically me insulting myself. I have tried SO hard to train myself to just say "thank you" gracefully and leave it at that.
Load More Replies...yup. they are either full of s**t or have horrible standards, either way I'm done with those people!
I guess that's mostly because people don't mean it when they say something nice leaving us to be skeptical of any compliment we may ever receive. I never know whether it's honest or not. It happened to me that I was wrong both ways
Don't call attention to it, or it may be snuffed out like so many if it's brethren!

I was diagnosed with avoidant personality disorder at 10, and just an FYI this is a pretty huge diagnostic pointer for it. Not that anyone should self diagnose, but if this is causing you great distress you should bring it up to your doctor.
me :( im not an introvert cause i dont feel energized by alone time but i have poor social skills so i can relate
... and yet.. if you're self-aware enough to know that your communication skills blow (or you can't get sh** done the same way/speed as everyone else due to a diagnosis)... maaybe JUST MAYBE actually WORK with it? Nothing more irritating when someone thinks it's 'no big deal' to screw others over, blame the diagnosis (even worse when it's the same one I have, and I KNOW it can be improved) then proceed to do **nothing** to screw people over with less consistency. Diagnosis does not make you free to be a jackhole.

Load More Replies...A friend I haven't seen in a while told me "you're looking really happy". I was honestly shocked, but then said, "yeah, things are going great". Because I just didn't want to get into it.
nobody would look at you judgementally if you cräp on random stuff in public
Load More Replies...You ever surprise-woken a cat? Now imagine a REALLY BIG cat. Don't wake the lion.
I'm doing something weird... That's why they're laughing... I'm weird...
If I was a bird I probably wouldn't be depressed so nah. ACTUALLY unless I'm stupid enough to so maybe.
I wish i had more than one upvote to give you.
Load More Replies...I HAVE THEM. THEY ARE WONDERFUL. Except for producing insane amounts of static electricity when it's dry, and me nearly slipping and cracking my skull on any flooring that isn't carpet, because I'm clumsy af XD
Load More Replies...Why is this ? I want to integrate with society, see museums and visit libraries…and yet this cat is my life. Lol
I still can't accept this "lazy" part of me, to be honest. Seems like if you don't do all these wonderful things, don't try new, don't pursue /insert whatever/ then you miss out and not living. I know it comes to some people more naturally, and I just don't have the energy and maybe internal motivation to do the same, but logic is yet to win over frustration
I do want to travel, but I’ll be happy to stick to open world rpgs to do that
You can also make robbers freak out that someone was home the whole time and jump out the window because they didn't want to say 'Hi' because of their social anxiety.
You can still stare at a blank phone, just need to hold it differently.
Friend, this is an article about introvert memes. No way in higgedy-hell I'm gonna TALK to people.
Load More Replies...come up with nicknames for all the people around you...if there aren't any then make some up.
Same, but for some reason my math teacher knows I know the answer and keeps calling on me. Like, I'm sitting in the back corner for a reason, and its not for the social opportunities.
Cuz what if it was actually not the answer the teacher was looking for, or it’s the wrong answer after all, or you suddenly pronounce it weird, or…
Yeah, my teacher was all hey clown fish you know the answer. Tell the class!
My teacher would make me turn my camera on because I didn't get permission from a parent to turn it off 💀
Load More Replies...Or you accidentally enable the camera and just turn your whole phone off and never return to that class
Or are sensitive to ascending and descending (seriously i get dizzy and feel inwell).
Load More Replies...My brain wouldn’t do this unless it was a distinct possibility, right?
I have serious trust issues, but once I find my people I tend to overshare. This is painfully relatable.
Well they would at least like you enough to not want to hurt your feelings, wouldn't they?
My sad song playlist is called "for everytime they respond "ok"" lol
I'm in my mid 40s, I've been in my career for 25 years, and I ask myself this all the time!
Sometimes we spend so long agonizing over juuuust the right wording for the reply that by the time we settle on what we want to say, we've forgotten that we didn't actually SAY it.
Load More Replies...I do this but irl. Someone will say Hi and I will think I said hi when I actually just kinda nodded
I do that for like an hr then I need to text them cause I get lonely
Who said anything about wanting to be in a relationship? No thank you
I’m in a relationship..with me, myself and I. Add my cat and that means I really don’t have time to add someone else to my busy schedule! Lol
Ah yes, that one. "Enjoy your meal too, when you eat one. Whenever your break is, and you get that chance, I hope it's good"
Load More Replies...Or when you say you too when someone says "Enjoy your food"
My brain takes that statement and runs with it. Breathing IS cool, but wouldn't it be cool to breathe underwater. I wonder what I would do if I could live in the ocean. I would definitely build an underwater fort. But what about sharks, they are freaky. Okay, I'd have to build some shark defense systems. Killing sharks when I'm in their territory is pretty uncool. I would need a deterrent system, rather than something lethal. Meanwhile you're attempting to have an actual conversation with me, but out of the blue I will say "I wonder if I could produce a sonic shark deterrent, that won't short out under water". You will think I am crazy, and you will be correct.
Load More Replies...That's not overthinking -- I'm just lucky I was in the kitchen when my ceiling fan fell onto my bed.
the random scratch i just heard is a flock of birds up in the ceiling and they are going to break through the ceiling and fall on me!!
bro i feel so called out by this because i have overthought about this before multiple times. Aaaaaaaaaah
I always do that- and go into the weirdest position to avoid it if the fan did fall 🤣😭🤣
For this exact reason I never hang anything on the wall my beds headboard is against.
If somebody pressures me to decide something quickly, my answer is always no. I have an opportunity for you but I need to know right now. Then no. I've got this great deal on this car, but you need to sign up for it today, or the deal goes away. Okay, no. If you won't give me the time to think about it, it's probably a scam. Kindly do f**k off.
When I see someone that slightly resembles someone I used to work with because I don’t actually know anyone
Ever see a person you know out and about and you do this but then realize they are also doing the same thing? Happened to me the other day with a mom of one of my kids school friends.
"That time"? "A mistake"? Only a singular mistake? My, my, SOMEONE sure is lucky.
Not if u only have 1 mistake because it's ur whole life
Load More Replies...Brain.exe stopped working. Wait till the fųcking buttons are gone and it will only last qn hour more before it will start working.
It's especially worse when you mom calls, "oh, hey, Lakota, come out here and sing that song that you learned in voice lessons last week for your aunt and uncle!!!!!"
And it's the aunt and uncle you've never met before. or they were there when you were born so why don't you remember them??
Load More Replies...I'm the lid, and the cup is all the responsibilities and friendships I need to maintain.
"Used to talk"? What on earth? Y'all really out there changing your speech patterns over time? I have so many questions...
Who doesn't, really? There are phrases we used to use as kids, etc, that are now called lame & stuff. I don't care much though, I use whatever lol
Load More Replies...For the eight millionth time: social anxiety and mood disorders ARE NOT THE SAME THING AS INTROVERTS. For the love of god, bp. Why are we still doing this once a week???
Obviously they have no clue about the difference between introversion and anti social personality disorder which is what a lot of this sounds like. Introverts like people…just not all at once and not all the time.
Load More Replies...Social anxiety, shyness, and being introverted are not all the same thing. FFS
I am SO glad I am not the only person irritated with the fact that the majority of these were actually memes about mental illness and NOT introversion. Labeling these as introvert memes is about as ignorant as assuming all introverts are shy. I am extremely introverted and not at all shy. And not every person who'd rather hang out at home with their dog and a good book on a Friday night is necessarily depressed. Very few of these were actually relatable to a genuine introvert.
This made me feel better after my gift for the whole community got -3 points, thanks BP
I'm an introvert but I don't dwell on it or feel it's a bad thing or a handicap. Maybe 2 or 3 of these things were relatable two me. Not sure what the rest of them were about.
