Spending time with your fellow human beings is important, fun and incredibly rewarding, but it doesn't come easy to all of us. Some people are simply happier alone, or at least with a select few, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that!

However, because of you know, society, there are times when contact with people is necessary, even for the most introverted of us. That's why when a blissful moment of solitude does occur, an unexpected cancellation for example, or a glorious moment of communion with nature, it is truly something to savor. People on Twitter are sharing their #IntrovertTurnOns, and we are sure that you'll find many of them relatable!

We here at Bored Panda have compiled a list of our favorites for all the introverts out there. Scroll down below to check them out for yourself, and feel free to share your own in the comments! (Cover image: CoCreatr I Facebook cover image: SchuminWeb )

So true. Not everyone is a good talker. In writing, you have time to phrase whatever you need to say properly with no outside pressure of a real-time conversation with another person.

I consider myself introverted but phone calls have never bothered me (it's the face to face that wears me down). I never understood this until one day, my father, who is even more introverted than I am, asked how I was able to talk to strangers on the phone so easily. I realized that for him, even a phone call to a stranger was stressful and taxing. It had never occurred to me.

Even we on the other end prefer working on chats. Hate talking to people, plus we can make fun of the customers to our colleagues. Only problem is the trolls we get sometimes.

This is typically better overall. A lot of overseas call centers do better with text than speech as far as I've noticed.

i sometimes am that person who sits on the other side and the first question i get is "can we switch to a call?" No , Karen, if you wanted to talk you should've called the regular number, not click a link for chat.

Not sure why this was downvotes. Not every CS is this way but due to the way companies run their business now days it is a common norm.

Peculiarly, I live in a small village where a lot of the locals know me, and I find that reassuring. We talk or wave every time that we pass, and the tourists and other blow-ins say nothing. I think it's the combination of community with the rural person's understanding of space...

A really good teacher will know the difference between ”shy” and knowing when a person is just comfortable being quiet. There is a huge difference!

To those people complaining about the times you need help, this is EXACTLY how it should be. Speaking for both introversion and efficiency, you should only have to call upon someone when you actually need help. Then when they do help you, they do it as quickly as possible, so they can get back to overseeing a half dozen other shoppers who might need them. The alternative is faking a smile to a cashier forcing small talk and judging your purchases - not always silently - forcing you to buy a bunch of c**p you don't need in hopes of distracting them from the wart cream and 50 Shades book you came in for.
