“Introvert Problems”: 50 Of The Funniest Jokes That Sum Up Life As An Introvert
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.

Yep, or worse you get told you are boring or repetitive or digress too much or whatever, then you realise you are surrounded by narcissists and it's not worth bothering.

I do this. I wait until 2:15ish so I can eat my lunch in peace, or I go to my car

They call it an exciting idea. I call it a frightening one. Maybe that would work for a family or friend group. It's a gigantic nope for me.

Even worse when they ask about neighbours, their names, their kids etc. I just live here, i don't keep track of everyone else in the street. I hardly keep track of myself most of the time.

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"

I have 2 people. They are my people. One is an extrovert who adopted me and has spent the last 6 months trying to assimilate me into her friend group. The other is a super chill dude I've known literally forever and could tell literally anything to.

Again, a post where "introvert" gets mixed up with anxiety, being shy, having no social skills, etc.. Being introvert does not necessarily mean that you have problems interacting with people. It just means you do not enjoy it all the time or as much as others might.

Word. Introversion doesn't mean I can't socialize -- socializing is a learned skill, not an innate ability you're born with -- it means that I just need a moment alone to decompress every once in while when I'm with other people.
