Introversion has its highs and lows. While interactions with people can be daunting sometimes, spending time with oneself has simple, sheer joys. 

But if you want an excellent representation of a wallflower’s life, here’s the Introvert_Memestation Instagram page. It features posts showing the unnecessary fears of making a phone call, some intrusive thoughts while alone, and the burdensome idea of socializing

We’ve picked out some of the standout memes and compiled them in a list for you to enjoy and perhaps even relate to.

    When they f*****g say anything at all, more like. I was minding my business on Sunday walking back to my car from the grocer and this slightly unkempt man twice my size whom I do not know was walking up toward the store. I made brief eye contact and I moved out of his way and he angrily goes "I say hello (which I didn't even hear) and you get scared. It's always the tattooed people." Like, wtaf. I got scared because you're twice my f*****g size, I don't know you, and you're borderline unkempt and walking without a family. Why the f**k would I say anything to you??

    Well then, for me, I'm guessing wisdom gave up a long time ago. ..

    People who’ve been introverted their entire lives are easily exhausted, but not because of physical activity. For the most part, it is from being around new people. 

    “You know you’re an introvert if you find yourself needing to recharge your batteries on your own,” author and lawyer Susan Cain told The Harvard Crimson

    ADVERTISEMENT

    “Imagine that you’ve been at a party for two hours and you’ve had a really good time. No matter how good a time you’ve had, you might feel depleted, drained of energy. And you get your energy from being in a quieter setting.”

Possesses downright disgusting habits and s****y attitudes too. However, a tiny fraction of them are really wonderful. Damned near angelic, tbh.

    I have depression and regularly feel this way. My husband will ask if I want to talk about it or if I just want him to be with me and I've literally started saying "I'm just sad and don't know why, I'm so sorry." and that's his cue to just sit and hold my hand.

    Cain identifies as an introvert, something she struggled with during her early years as an attorney in New York. In her interview, she also touched on the common false impressions people have about her. 

    “The misconceptions about introverts are that they’re antisocial, unfriendly, uncaring, and in fact, they’re really not—they just want to socialize in quieter ways,” she explained.

    It isn’t uncommon for introverts to fall in love with extroverts and vice versa. However, specific issues could arise within the relationship because of their differing personalities. Cain has a tip to prevent these possible scenarios. 

    “Negotiate in advance how often you’re going to socialize as a couple,” she said. “Because if one person wants to be going out all the time and the other person wants to hang out at home and be cozy, that can cause conflict. 

    “You don’t want to negotiate that every night, so figure out in advance how often you are going to go out per week, agree to it, and stick to that plan.”

    Shyness is another trait commonly associated with introversion. While these two intersect at some point, Cain explains the subtle difference. 

    “They’re really not the same, because shyness is about the fear of social judgment,” she explained. “So you could be the kind of person I was describing before—someone who gets their energy from being on their own and needs to recharge that way—without being especially fearful about other people’s opinions.”

    The worst is when someone you really don’t like is suddenly really nice to you. I am always suspicious in these situations, as I fell for it once or twice when I was young and naive and took everything people said at face value, and it was nothing more than a setup for me to be the butt of a joke each time—-and from different and unconnected people too. And people wonder why some of us have trust issues. F**k. Get burned enough times and you learn to walk away and stay far far away from the flames.

    This is your mental health reminder that you don’t have to make an adult meal all the time if you’re not currently up to it! Eat a slice of cheese. Eat a slice of ham. Eat a slice or two of bread. You’ve eaten a deconstructed sandwich. You’ve eaten something, and that’s something to be happy about.

    Introverts may be reserved, but as neuroscientist Friederike Fabritius points out, they have their fair share of strengths that set them apart. One of them is their ability to focus on a particular subject matter. 

    “The ability to focus intensely is a key characteristic of introverts, who often have more extended focus than extroverts,” she wrote in an article for CNBC

    “Because they enjoy spending time alone, introverts tend to be more willing than extroverts to put in the hours alone necessary to master a skill.”

    For me, it’s people’s names right after I’ve been introduced to them. Especially if no one says their name ever again afterward. Not a symptom of getting older, either. Has been happening ever since I was a child. Unless I see you AND hear your name everyday, it’s just gone right after meeting you. There are people at some jobs I’ve had, who I was introduced to, and who I waved at and said Hello and Goodbye to every single workday for years, whose names I could not remember, and it went on so long it got to the point where it was embarrassing to ask. Then I left those jobs and stared new ones, and the cycle started over again with new people.

    Introverted employees will have a starkly different approach to work than their extroverted counterparts. If you’re an employer dealing with the former, Fabritius first emphasized respecting boundaries. 

    “It takes up to 23 minutes for a person to regain focus after they’ve been interrupted. Don’t expect people to answer every email or Slack message immediately.”

    "I'm not pessimistic, I'm realistic." - Me (2024)

    Brainstorming sessions that involve everyone on the team can be beneficial. However, Fabritius encourages letting people be if they prefer to work solo. 

    “Letting people shout ideas at each other in a room sounds like fun. But research shows that if you want to maximize creativity, let people generate ideas by themselves before sharing them in a group. Bonus: Your introverts will be far more comfortable sharing.”

    Then you wonder why you have no friends. Assess what it is and if it's really worth losing a friend over. Sometimes it is, usually it isn't. Imagine someone ghosted you because you did a little thing they didn't like.

    Face-to-face interactions are, for the most part, the bane of an introvert’s existence. In line with respecting boundaries, Fabritius advises against imposing a specific mode of communication. 

    “The introverts in your office may prefer emails, while the extroverts might enjoy handling business on the phone. Encourage people to decide how they want to communicate (e.g., turning cameras on or off), even if it differs from yours.”

    “As an introvert, my general message to employers is, ‘Let my people rest,’” she wrote. “Like it or not, the future of work is all about more choices, autonomy, and a culture that embraces introversion.”

    My mom's coming for a visit next week. I've already made a list with the foods I want her to cook! 😊

    Just be sure to be the one who helps Mom with the cooking AND lets her relax while YOU clean everything up and do the dishes after you both eat the food she cooked. A good host never makes their guest(s) do all the work.

    I "forget" my phone ALL the time. I'm unreachable, I'm sorry (not sorry) 🤗

    I put mine on flight mode a lot of the time! Also lose it quite a lot as well. They are probably connected!

    Real question, does anybody ever actually "rest their eyes?"

    Depends on your definition of resting your eyes. 😂

    That’s a s****y thing to say to anybody when you know damned well they’re on the verge of tears—-especially if YOU are the one who caused it. Don’t taunt and belittle and make fun of them for having the most logical human reaction to the nasty s**t you just doled out to them in order to get that exact same reaction from them. A*****e.

    A couple weeks ago somebody THREW A DAYUM MARKER and HIT ME ON MY GYATTDAYUM NOSE. And then when I held my nose in pain, he continuously said, "Omg, is he gonna cry? Omg, he's about to cry! He's gonna cry!" I didn't wanna cry, and I wasn't going to until he said that, I managed to hold the one tear that was going to come out of my eye in my eye, but this proves that it's a SHIITTTY THING TO DO!

    Calls would be at the end for me. I have a difficult time talking out loud to a person I can't see

    Me too - don't enjoy phone calls at all. I can't gauge their reaction without seeing the person.

    Sucks to be them, then. I might respond sometime in the morning. Maybe. I just won’t put that sense of urgency to it. Unless it’s life threatening or life changing important, you can wait. That’s my quiet rebellion against people’s (and employers’) ridiculous expectations that I am going to be available to answer their calls 24/7/365. Nope. When it comes to that, for me it’s 1965, when only a handful of people could afford to have a personal pager or an answering machine in their homes. When it’s MY down time, you can bet I will have that ringer turned OFF, will not answer, especially when I’m asleep, and screen calls if I’m awake and curious who’s calling me. Quietly incommunicado and/or off the grid is a lovely state to be in, especially if it feels like you always have people coming at you from all sides and all the lines on your phone seem to light up at once and stay constantly lit until your day is over, and THEN try to extend the cacophony beyond those hours as well.
