Introverts feel more comfortable focusing on their inner thoughts and ideas, rather than what's happening externally. They enjoy spending time with just a few close people, rather than a large group or crowds, and these folks make up an estimated 25% to 40% of the population.
However, misconceptions about this personality type are still plentiful. For example, many think that being an introvert automatically makes you socially anxious or shy, which is not always the case!
So let's try and get a better understanding of this unique bunch, shall we? For that, we at Bored Panda suggest taking a look at the Instagram meme account 'QUIET.' Its relatable content is like an introvert's virtual diary.

Actually it’s healthy, mentally and emotionally, to cut off people who hurt you and don’t admit, or even recognize, that they did it. Why continually subject yourself to that? F**k that. Hurt me and don’t acknowledge and apologize for it? Then you become persona non grata to me.
SadieCat17 (she/her) 2 years ago (edited)
Please don't barrage me for this comment, but I absolutely hate people that do this. I care a lot about people and it hurts like hell when they start avoiding you and pull away without telling you what they're thinking. I'm left there wondering what I did to chase off the people I love while these people that refuse to communicate just try to disappear. Obviously this doesn't apply if someone did something absolutely horrendous and refuses to apologize, but it doesn't make you funny or quirky or introverted to do this, it just makes you a terrible friend.

All true!! And SLEEP when and where you want, wearing what you want or nothing. love it
American writer, journalist, and introvert Jonathan Rauch thinks that extroverts are relatively easy for introverts to understand because they spend so much of their time working out who they are in voluble, and frequently inescapable, interaction with other people. Rauch says they are as inscrutable as puppy dogs.
On the other hand, he believes that extroverts have little or no grasp of introversion. "They assume that company, especially their own, is always welcome. They cannot imagine why someone would need to be alone; indeed, they often take umbrage at the suggestion," Rauch writes. "As often as I have tried to explain the matter to extroverts, I have never sensed that any of them really understood. They listen for a moment and then go back to barking and yipping."
And that, he claims, is the reason why introverts are so often misunderstood compared to their more social peers.

It’s perfectly fine to be self-aware. In fact, it’s a quality that’s sorely missing in grown adults these days. The problem comes when you start dwelling and ruminating on the things you are aware of in yourself that you think are bad (and may not be bad, but maybe someone said something not so nice about it once—-people can be real s**t sometimes, btw)

Furthermore, Rauch says that introverts are, in a way, oppressed. "For one thing, extroverts are overrepresented in politics, a profession in which only the garrulous are really comfortable."
"Look at George W. Bush. Look at Bill Clinton. They seem to come fully to life only around other people. To think of the few introverts who did rise to the top in politics—Calvin Coolidge, Richard Nixon—is merely to drive home the point. With the possible exception of Ronald Reagan, whose fabled aloofness and privateness were probably signs of a deep introverted streak (many actors, I've read, are introverts, and many introverts, when socializing, feel like actors), introverts are not considered 'naturals' in politics."

What I like about texts and emails is that I can decide when to answer, and can even rehearse what I’m going to say, especially if it’s important. With a call, if I can’t just let it go to voicemail, then I am forced to have to answer and deal with it right then and there, with little to no preparation. I hate that, unless it’s someone I really want to talk to.

Since extroverts dominate public and social life, they are also the ones who set the expectations. "In our extrovertist society, being outgoing is considered normal and therefore desirable, a mark of happiness, confidence, leadership. Extroverts are seen as bighearted, vibrant, warm, empathic. 'People person' is a compliment."
"Introverts are described with words like 'guarded,' 'loner,' 'reserved,' 'taciturn,' 'self-contained,' 'private'—narrow, ungenerous words, words that suggest emotional parsimony and smallness of personality," Rauch explains.

I have a pic of myself as my wallpaper. I read somewhere that this is a good idea because if you are ever in an accident with multiple people (like a car crash, etc.) and get separated from your phone, that first responders can more easily match it to your (presumably unconscious/injured) body and can more easily notify your ICE contact (In Case of Emergency). And you do have an ICE number in your phone, right?

However, it's worth mentioning that a few studies have found support for some connections between introversion and depression.
For example, this research suggests introversion may play a part in the development of the condition when people also have a greater sensitivity to feelings and emotions as well as neuroticism, a personality trait linked to a tendency toward negative or distressing feelings.

Not really! Bosses and HR often judge employees based on their participation in work social/team events. As a highly sensitive person, my MO is to show up relatively early, be seen by boss/HR, participate for a reasonable (IMO) time, and leave. If pressed, one can always find a reason for early departure.

When messages from others imply that introversion is a negative trait, you might worry there’s something wrong with you and try to change this part of yourself.
But scientific findings show a complex relationship between personality and mental health symptoms — and that's before you even begin to consider any external factors. Therefore, it's difficult to draw a definitive conclusion from them.
Personality generally isn't something you can mold as easy as clay. Forcing yourself into frequent interactions without taking the time you need to rest and recharge your emotional reserves will probably just leave you feeling unhappier.

it's from the dust ferries. Because honestly, I don't know how that much dust and dirt gets stuck on a fan that never stops.

Yeah, dust faeries. Leave it at that. You don't want to know what dust actually is.

Try owning a golden retriever. They shed golden fibres of joy that coat every surface until you can't notice the dust.

"If the state of my place offends you, feel free to come clean it yourself." My Mom did that to a Fussy Friend, right after we had moved. Fussy Friend came over, spent all day cleaning, and it was still a disaster. That was the last time Fussy Friend criticized my Mom's housekeeping.

That would probably explain why it is significantly easier to fall asleep in the early mornings than when it's bedtime

Oh, so it's not my husband snoring that keeps me awake, it's the busy signal from the sleep server.

Had a postie come to the open kitchen door while I am chopping vegies for spag bol and belting out Faith No More "falling to pieces". He just left the parcel on the doorstep and I only saw it when I turned to the fridge to get out mince.

See, this is when you lower your expectations. A delicious pastry with your morning coffee? Hell yeah. Cat being extra cute? Snap a pic. Dig up your favorite pair of socks and wear them. However small the source of even the most fleeting speckle of joy, hang onto it and make it a big deal.

This was one of the best pieces of advice my therapist had ever given me. Wish I’d remembered to use it.

Also, I'd rather perform on a stage than be in a crown, or heaven forfend I have to network.

I absolutely agree. I taught speech in college during my grad program and teaching and making speeches or presenting was never an issue for me. Put me in a room and ask me to network or small talk and I would rather have a root canal.

Kinda crazy how 'introvert memes' are always like 95% self hate. I mean, I'm not a great example, but I'm pretty sure there's happy introverts on earth, right? Right?

I am an introvert in person, online I'm fine but out in public I suddenly feel as if I am a proctologist and forever dealing as a******s.

Introvert means someone who gets energy from alone time, and can enjoy peaceful quiet time alone. Not depression and self-hate, that's legit mental illness that needs to be addressed by professionals rather than being 'relatable' memes.

BoredPanda, do you even bother to read what you copy-and-paste from Reddit? You are confusing depression and social anxiety with being an introvert. Introverts can love being active and hanging out with friends, however, they just need some time to recharge. Introvert does not equal depression and isolation! Do better, BoredPanda...
