Things some of us enjoy more than anything else might sound like a total headache to others, often because of our personality type. It's especially common when it comes to extraverts and introverts. These terms, introduced by Carl Jung in the early 1920s, separate people who use socializing like a flower uses sunlight from those who need peace and quiet to recharge their batteries.

Today we’re focusing on the latter. Introverts are the perfect counterweight to all the social butterflies, but they might face difficulties interacting with them. These and similar issues are covered by the Facebook page 'Introvert Problems'. Their often amusing and oh-so-relatable content has already attracted over 3.5 million followers, and taken so many introverted people down the memory lane of such situations they’ve encountered themselves. Scroll down for some of their best examples.

When my extrovert husband has been talking too long and I'm started to get too full, I say, "You're a talker". It's an inside joke we have because that scene is one of my favorites from GoT. If that doesn't work, I ask him if he has an onion on his belt, which was the style at the time. The need to decompress is very real. the-hound-...63acfd.gif the-hound-youre-a-talker-640904163acfd.gif

Being introverted usually means you prefer focusing on your inner world and the state of your mind instead of other people and the outer world. Representatives of this psychological type tend to be more reserved or withdrawn; they might prefer working individually instead of as a team.

Such common features often lead to a prevailing misconception that they don't like socializing. This is not true, as lots of them are happy to engage in social activities - however, they might be selective about them.

So I don't leave the house for weeks at a time, and I'm really fine with it. I'm less tolerant of people, mostly the stupid and/or entitled but sometimes just ANYONE

    Yes!! My friend Aiden is the biggest introvert you'll meet, it took him a while to open up to me but when he did, I found that we had lots in common. We liked the same types of movies (JoJo Rabbit, Day After Tomorrow, etc.) We played the same games (CoD, Apex, etc.) When you come across an introvert they usually just need friends.

    Because of the way the brain is wired, introverts and extraverts react differently to stimulating places with lots of people. It’s not that the former feel some sort of animosity towards them, they simply are not 'rewarded' the same way as extraverts are after socializing.

    Psychology Today pointed out that because of the make-up of their nervous system, they produce less dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with reward, when participating in social gatherings.

    I am the loudest introvert you will ever meet. I can stand before a crowd and make a speech without a microphone, fight for justice, protect others. However after its all been said and done I return back into my solitary world and go through anxiety, panic, fears, worry, reliving it all in emotional turmoil of imaginary things I did wrong. Which will keep me in my cave for days, weeks, months trying to save myself from myself.

    Nothing will get an introvert to talk except themselves deciding on it. And trying to find the right topic to hope they open up could very well backfire on you and they will assume you are pushy, or oddly obsessive.

    Some introverted people take part in parties or large gatherings nevertheless. However, they might take some time to recharge their social battery after. They often need alone time to unwind, escape the stimulating environment, and process recent events. Not doing so can lead to feeling overwhelmed or irritated.

    It is estimated that around 25% to 40% of the population are introverts. Even though each person is different, those sharing the same personality type might face similar problems. For introverts, they often include feeling the need to recharge the aforementioned social battery, finding the right environment or people for socializing, or even making a phone call.

    I’m both shy and selective, and with relative isolation, it’s down to people whom I encounter on the street or in the supermarket. That’s a somewhat narrower perspective than I’d like.

    I hate work parties. One group of people talks constantly and make it very difficult to be heard and the other group are my subordinates and I worry they don't want to interrupt me because I'm their boss and I'm older. I'm told that I'm interesting to talk to, i don't know about that. I usually wander away after a while and clean up after people. Everyone appreciates the person who cleans up.

    Small talk can work as kryptonite for introverted people as well. Understandably so—when the percentage of your battery is getting low, the last thing you want to do is waste it talking about the weather. Introverts tend to dread it because it doesn’t lead to actually getting to know the person and seeing if there’s a way to form a deeper connection. Instead, they are draining themselves out discussing frivolous things.

    Totally agree. Before my job now, I used to stay up all night and I was so happy. I knew nothing could be done, no one would call, it was the only time I was guaranteed peace. And that's the thing. We just want a guarantee of not being bothered. Crazy neighbors, work calling, telemarketers... 2am or 3am no one is going to bother and there's this relief that comes from that peace of not always being tense and prepared to have to talk to someone or get fully dressed (and people don't talk about this one enough. I don't feel comfortable not having a bra on when being around people. So someone just showing up at my house is unacceptable to me and causes me a lot of stress having to get clothes on before letting them in. My landlord does this sometimes). I have to be up at 6am now, so I have to force myself to go to bed but I often wake up in the middle of the night and just enjoy the peace. It's worth the tiredness the next day.

    This! My wife gets up around 4am and has her quiet time at the beginning of the day, while the dogs and I are still in bed, before the teenager wakes up. She goes to bed at 10, teenager at midnight and I usually stay up until 2-3 am... just me and the animals and it's awesome. On the rare occasion, I'll wake up early or she'll stay up late and we're both apologizing to the other for intruding on their quiet time. We're kindred spirits. <3

    According to the lecturer and the author of Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking, Susan Cain, introverts have to deal with a certain social bias. In her TED talk, she pointed out that a lot of significant institutions, such as schools or workplaces, are mostly designed for extraverts. These places are highly stimulating and often require working in teams, which might be the less productive option for introverted individuals.

    In her talk, Susan Cain also emphasized that the way to maximize people’s talents is to put them in the right zone of social stimulation. According to her, introverts feel best at quieter, low-key environments, which allow them to reach their full potential, while extraverts need way more stimulation.

    I don’t answer my door. No one is allowed to come over it’s my space of peace. I’ll meet you at your house that way I can leave when I’m ready and I don’t have to make you feel bad when I kick you out of my house.

    I really hate that people think I'm antisocial because I don't like to participate in non-work activities at the office. Just because I don't want to sit in a conference room and eat crappy catered food off a paper plate while making forced conversation with people I don't like doesn't mean I'm not a "team player". I'm good at my job - that's all that should matter!

    Yes!! And while we're at it, how about the employer providing enough space to enable eating your lunch in peace and alone? I mean, I'm not talking a single small room for everyone, but we have just one room (not big either), and eating lunch there between 12 and 1 PM is a nightmare :( (I only don't eat anywhere else because either a) greater chance of getting disturbed, or b) don't want the smell of my food to linger in office room (we cannot open the windows ourselves.)

    We had a separate tiny break room for smokers and I happily used it because nobody else in my section smoked so us antisocial smokers who worked in different areas and didn't know each other could read and puff in peace. Or I'd go to my car in the underground parkade if I really really needed no people for a bit. (Don't get on my case, I've been smoke free for many years. 👍)

    In most workplaces, if you don't sit at the same table with 10+ co-workers, you're already labeled as anti-social, but it'll always be the elephant in the room. I prefer to sit with them, quietly eat my lunch in 15 min, and disappear for 45 min. This gives them the chance to ask me why am I always so quiet, to which I respond "I'm anti-social". Oh, the looks...

    They forgot to include the BEST lesson to learn. The deep satisfaction that comes with abandoning your group to finish the last part of the project on their own. I was a senior and even if I got a zero, it would not have impacted me, unlike the two juniors on my "team" that contributed nothing for the other three parts.

    Susan Krauss Whitbourne, a professor emerita of psychological and brain sciences at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, pointed out some situations that might help you determine whether you’re an introvert or not. Some include being the last one in the group to express your opinion, avoiding small talk, and using headphones to isolate yourself from the rest of the world.

    In Psychology Today, Dr. Susan Krauss Whitbourne also described some advantages of being an introvert. People with this personality type rarely let something unexpected slip in social situations. In addition to that, they don’t feel bored being on their own, and they don’t rush to interrupt people, which can make them excellent listeners.

    The problem with this though is that it makes it hard to meet people if you aren't social. I'm a bit introverted but I would like to meet people but I'm just not willing to go to bars or clubs. You end up having to do online dating which is horrible a lot of the time. I just wish there were more places in person to meet people even just to make friends. I moved a couple of years ago and I don't have any friends here. Going by myself somewhere is really awkward. I want to organize a introvert meetup of something fun, like everyone has a family style dinner at a restaurant on a long table, and that way everyone can talk to each other and then for dessert everyone can break off into smaller groups if they want. Or maybe a similar thing for a game night. We could have multiple board games set up and you can sign up based on if you're looking to meet friends or for a relationship. I don't know, just something fun with a group instead of one-on-one which is way worse for my anxiety.

    Even though people usually suggest the two options when it comes to personality types, there is actually a third one—the middle ground between introvert and extravert. People who feature traits from both sides are known as ambiverts, and are believed to make up as much as 68% of the population.

    My family just accept that I'm agoraphobic and don't bug me. I'm not really. I just can't deal with people most of the time. Being in my front garden weeding means somebody will speak to me and I don't want a conversation. I just smile and shrug and point to my ears.

    It’s why I hate hate hate a micromanager. While you’re training me, OK. Stick around, because I might have a question. Once I know what I am doing, then leave me tf alone! Breathing down my neck all damned day won’t improve my work. In fact, it will make it worse, so you’ll only be f*****g yourself by reducing the productivity of your department, as YOU will be the one that upper management chews a new a*****e for, not me. So here’s how it needs to happen: You place the pile of work to do on one on side of my desk, then leave for 8 hours. CLOSE MY DOOR ON YOUR WAY OUT, PLEASE. Don’t call me. I will let it go to voicemail and email you my reply anyway—-but don’t overload my inbox either. If you do, then don’t expect me to reply within 10 minutes, because you’re dreaming. Ain’t gonna happen. Don’t give me a list of 100 numbers to call—-cold call, even though I am NOT in Sales. DON’T BOTHER ME UNLESS IT’S AN EMERGENCY (yes, I really would like to be told if the building is on fire or something like that). If you just leave me be, then when you come back at closing time, the entire pile will be on the other side of my desk, complete and correct—-and believe me, I can get through a TALL pile of work if you leave me alone—-because I was able to concentrate on it without constant stupid and unnecessary interruptions! F*****g hate it when management bitches about productivity, yet constantly interrupts you with b******t, and make up other b******t requirements that eat up all the “head down” time people need to concentrate and get their work done, completely AND correctly.

    My ex is an extreme extrovert. When the first lockdown hit, and we were stuck inside for like 2 months, he was climbing the walls after 2 days, but I was just chillin 🤣 he then asked me "how can you be so okay with this! Don't you miss going outside?" And I was like "why? So I can sit in a bar and watch you make jokes and drink beer, and think about how I could be spending this time progressing further into my Spyro game?" He looked at me as if I had grown 3 heads that were created by Picasso himself. I just continued playing Spyro.

    So true. A neighbour of mine once tried to hit on me by asking if he could use my iron and ironing board. So of course I said yes and even offered him a coffee. It was many days later when I finally realised he *could* have asked other people much closer if it had been a *real* problem. He was drop dead gorgeous, but I missed the golden opportunity because I take everything at face value and couldn't get the hint! Still kicking myself to this day!

    Sending signals in the hope that others understand them is so hopeless because extrovert, introvert... it doesn't make a damn bit of difference. If you want something, say it exactly how you would like it... Just imagine you're h*rny and telling your SO "you're hungry".... they'll fix you something to eat instead of fecking your lights out ;) Just saying, if you want something, make it clear what you want, that's the way to not be misunderstood, even though it doesn't always get you what you want.

    It also allows us to choose when to reply, if at all. Face to face or on the phone, or worse, on Zoom, we’re forced to reply when the other person is done talking. If the other person is not in your tiny comfortable circle of trusted friends, it is f*****g exhausting.

    After an argument with my introverted boyfriend he told me he preferred when we argued over text because he had time to think and delete any angry words. I'm extroverted, but it's a fantastic idea. We agreed that once we start arguing, we take out our phones and argue via text

    Yes. If I'm having a text/DM conversation, it takes a lot of the pressure off: I don't have to say something immediately just to let the other person know that I'm still on the line, and if I can't remember whether I already something I meant to, I can check. I can also do it on public transport without feeling awkward about strangers overhearing me.

    Oh man I did this to someone on my birthday. Invited a few friends out for dinner/drinks and sleepover. A few days before this person tells me they got tickets for an art show the next day and I was freaking out internally at having to spend two days socializing instead of one. Even started thinking up excuses to cancel the whole birthday plan before telling them honestly I didn’t feel up to going out two days in a row. They still came to the sleepover and went to the show with someone else so all’s well, but I still feel like a jerk.

    I feel so bad about this. My parents are in their 70s and I know I'll miss them when they're gone and I wish I could just force myself to go visit them more. But I already work a job where my introvert/anxiety is pushed to the limit (call center- which is literally the worst possible job for me but it's all I could find at the time). I keep trying to get them to do video calls with me so we can feel like we saw each other without having to get dressed and drive there. I know I'm in the wrong- I should really push myself to do it. But it's just too hard for me. I just need to not talk to people those 2 days to prepare myself to do it again the next week. I try to go once every 2 months but I wish I could do more.

    I used to get judged so hard for not wanting to go for drinks with co-workers after work. I woke up at 5am, left the house at 6am, got to work at 7:15, spent ALL day with people I don't even like, then I have another hour and 15 minute drive home so I'm not getting in the door until almost 6pm. From when I walk in the door until I have to go to bed to do it all over again, I have 3 hours in which I have to make dinner, catch up with my husband and find a little time to unwind. I want to spend none of that precious free time hanging out socially with my co-workers. Why anyone would want to do that is baffling. Maybe if the day was 30 hours long and not 24, but as it stands, no. Plus you can't drink and drive, so what am I going to do at a bar? Drink a soda and wish I was home instead? Yep.

    When you reach the point you've had enough, that's the moment you go home, maybe say bye to the host and thank them for a lovely time, but than really, go and find your good place.

    I've lived in the same tiny city my whole life, so I could tell you lots of juicy gossip, but my directions are usually something like "turn left at the painted flowers. Go straight until you get to the house that always has crazy decorations for every holiday. Follow the road that is named after some random flower until you get to the toilet mannequin. Turn at the apartments. No, not those apartments, the ones that got painted last month!"

    Especially if it's a driver seeking directions to get somewhere by car: I don't drive, so I might know how to walk somewhere, and if you're lucky, with a bit of mental effort I might even be able to explain that in words that make at least some sort of sense, but pedestrian directions don't always work for cars and I probably haven't even noticed things like one-way streets.

    Weirdly, nobody *ever* asks me that when I am in my home town. Perhaps my 'go away or I will find a way to kill you' vibe puts them off. However, whenever I am a tourist, lots of people ask me for directions! Often I can even tell them, because I don't visit unfamiliar places.

    I don’t believe this is an introverted thing. I think most people do this. Introverts and extroverts alike. Maybe introverts do it more because we are often avoiding people and we feel guilty about evading them? Love to hear others thoughts.

    Them: politely asks the standard "How are you". Me: launch into details of how COVID has ruined your pelvic floor control after your prostate operation. Has worked the last 5 or 6 times I've tried this. I have a backup plan based on complaining about inflation pushing the price of incontinence pads.

    Don't be. Over share once and they'll never talk to you again. Works all the time. Specifically go into your mental issues. You can see their face change from "let's be friends" to "I will cross the street and turn the other way if we see each other again"

    My mom told me to put "stuck up" as one of my three personality straights in my college questionnaire "about me" because she could not understand my personality. I was the worst, because I wasn't extroverted. Still hurts. But I get she couldn't understand a personality other than hers.

    No, no, the people must talk to ME first. They must then complete a series of challenges involving them starting conversations and me glaring grumpily from the corner. Eventually, my brain will decide that they are trustworthy. They are now my friend, and I will continuously overstate until they eventually get bored of me and move on with their lives because I'm not worth their time. Then the cycle begins again. And again. And again...
