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 )

Bliss! The only thing that makes it better is when you managed to convince them to cancel, without them realising that you were doing it...
"You should socialise more" "I joined a club, we meet alone, separately, in our own space"
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.
Load More Replies...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.
That is exactly what I felt when I read this Particular post.
Load More Replies...I actually prefer dealing with the "press 1 for..." than talking to a person.
Except when you get stuck in an endless loop because their "systems are down."
Load More Replies...Texting and emailing - no-one can interrupt you and you can get all your thoughts out clearly.
I always tell people that I must have missed the call because my 'phone was on mute, even if it wasn't. Sometimes I even feel guilty for doing so.
I frequently forget my phone is on mute! Never feel guilty - if you need the space, then you need the space.
Load More Replies...Phone calls can actually put me in a perpetual state of melancholy for the rest of the day.
on Facebook people keep on calling me I just pm them that I just do chat or by email only.
Hate hate hate talking on the phone unless it's my husband or parents. I feel awkward even talking with the rest of my family. They'll ask how things are going and it's just the same old lines over and over. I've gotten to be fine with ordering carry-out and such though.
We should get together and ignore each other sometime.
Load More Replies...This is also an “ambivert“ turn on (I can identify with introverts extroverts on almost equal parts). I love people I can equally talk and enjoy silence with.
My best friend. I can literally sit with her holding her hand for idk how long and we don't have to talk. We've been best friends since childhood. I love it .
I know two guys, friends of mine, like this. I hang with them for hours doing our ow things and no one says a word aside from "Hey", "See you" and "There's too much blood in my head, I'm getting down now". Such fun. Don't know any girls like this though. They're all doing the same thing as us so we never meet.
The Jekyll/Hyde thing when two introverts figure it out and start to talk is difficult to describe to others, but a real delight when it happens!
The other way around is a godsend as well...Becoming an introvert when another extrovert is around!
Stop making me sad. I don’t have anyone to do this with. I lost my best friends.
I become extroverted with anyone or manyones for a couple of hours a week. Then it's Stay Away!
Introverts don't befriend extroverts... They simply get adopted by them🤣
That's how relationships are made. Finding someone you can do nothing with that allows you to have an out for doing things with others
I literally get a migraine when my friend comes over with her toddler,He runs amok,She lets him run amok,and I'm going crazy,My OCD is triggered and just want to be alone. :(
I'm an introvert who wants to have people over but, yes, after a while the effort taken to be social wears me out.
To sum up: In one post on Bored Panda, an introvert cooks for 27 on his birthday and only 2 show up (post has become a 404 not found page) and here the writer is happy when her guests leave her home. It's hard to find a balance!
Yes. followed by a clean sink, and the settling down to delve deep into the abyssal end of YouTube, where videos of wax jobs mean violent pulling of ones own hair and not about perfecting the art of car detailing.
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...
I live in a urban area and I also find it refreshing to talk to other pet owners at the dog park. We talk about our pets and light talk that don`t make me uncomfortable, but isn`t too meaningless as to bother me either. Some small, familiar interactions are really nice.
Load More Replies...Even in large cities... People do remember your face in the neighborhood. And engage in small talk. And ask personal things sometimes. But that's good. Better ask personal things than make comments based on wrong assumptions built upon misconceptions and stereotypes. (Happens a lot to those of us living abroad)
I have a couple fish tanks. So I only have to speak to Alexa to turn the lights for them on :)
YES! If someone sits next to me, and I can see that other seats are available I'm like: What, you HAD to sit next to me!? You f*cking piece of sh*t. (I never say this out loud of course, but I's be thinkin' it)
On the other hand, look at it this way...they had plenty of seats to choose from but they sat next to you because they feel safer that way..meaning you look like a good and honest person to them.
Load More Replies...Not having to take the bus (chose to have some form of transport over affording holidays or any entertainment that costs money, also needed it to get to work)
Riding a motorcycle allows you to wear a full face helmet and be unrecognised.
I love your name!! I have an accent grave in my name, too, and no one can pronounce my name except my friend's wife. She's French! :)
If people would stick to waving only, I wouldn't have to lower my head not to be recognized in the streets!
Are you kidding me, I change pavement just to avoid passing infront of the stores that they know me cause I don't want to have any form of contact with anyone but at the same time don't want to be rude to them. :P
Load More Replies...YES! Why small talk when you can wave! ..or just a simple head nod will suffice, actually.
Looking at the phone number and knowing you don’t have to answer 🙈 Hoping for rain so you don’t have to go out 👌🏻.
I don't know if I would consider myself an introvert, but I absolutely despise small talk!
I do this to tailgaters that I leave stuck in the slow lane......
Load More Replies...Balm for the soul. Dogs and my lovely husband who is so similar to me in what he enjoys.
This is absolute heaven. I'm losing my s**t just imagining being there....omg
It’s a really famous tourist attraction - Lago Di Braies - it’s ALWAYS brimming with tourists
Load More Replies...The problem with this is 'how the market and the pharmacy could reach me'.
Well, that looks like an awesome place for a serial killer to catch his victoms. :P
Ironically this is Lago Di Braies in Italy, which is a huge tourist attraction and never is as quiet as it looks here
Yes!!!! People never understand when I say I'd rather go here than Disney or on a cruise.
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!
Agreed .most people would want to make us socialize,like we are missing out all tge fun
Load More Replies...And parents...and their friends...and neighbors...and postman...and random people. It took a lot of time to learn to say aloud ´f**k off´. Now I´m ´that rude one´.
I feel sorry for people who don't enjoy their own company enough to be alone for any length of time. I'm fine around other people (when I have to be) and happy socialising with the ones I actually like but if I don't get enough alone time I turn into a crabby b***h.
I think a lot of extroverts just think they have the right to tell people how they should act because they won't shut up long enough to think about what comes out of their mouths
This speaks to me more than anything. I hated people making me feel like there was something wrong with me; like I had to be a different person to fit in. It became a puzzle as to what that person was, so I barely tried to make friends.
I read recently about someone who thought being shy is rude and disrespectful :(
If only our honesty could be seen as it is and not as rudeness. BP has too many over-sensitive people throwing daggers at me for not sugar coating their b******t.
I hear you. My daughter was 'shy and 'too quiet ' and 'needed more socialization ' i said bugger that and let her be. found out she was autistic in college.
I'm just reading a marvellous book called "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can't Stop Talking" by Susan Cain. It's such a relief to know that I don't need to be fixed!! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Quiet-Power-Introverts-World-Talking-ebook/dp/B0074YVW1G/
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.
I am far too busy packing to talk as checkout staff are very, very quick. No longer interact to pay as you stick a card in a machine. Self service checkouts go wrong frequently and even when they don't I still need a person to scan my car park card. If you are so worried about the wart cream and fifty shades then I suggest online shopping and an e-reader.
Load More Replies...One time the self checkouts were all closed and a cashier told me I would have to "actually talk to someone". I had to fight down the urge to put my items away and flip them off as I left.
WOOOOW, I can't believe they said that. How incredibly rude, I definitely would've dropped my items right there and walked out.
Load More Replies...I'm an introvert, but I only do self checkout if I have a few items. Otherwise it's a nightmare to have a cart full when the bag area always wants to accuse you of stealing.
Oh I wish I can do that! I'm one of the people who can't where a watch and something always goes way wrong with the printers whenever I try to use self check. Oh course as the person comes over to help they have that look of she has no clue what she is doing. After them fiddling with it for a bit it never fells they say it has never done this before!
I used to be a cashier so it gives me such relief to be able to do my own checkout. In and out super quick. It drives me nuts and my anxiety up the wall to see people who have clearly never touched a cash register or bagged their own bags using the self checkout. That is not for you people and you slow down the whole system.
Except when some manager comes over to "Help," ruining the no human interaction idea of self checkout.
Too bad we don't have one of those around here. I'm an idiot magnet on BP and everywhere.
I went to Home Depot just to get a couple of things, I was ecstatic to see self-checkout!
I understand someone liking it, but is that now considered polite? Good god, I hope it's not gotten that bad.
Load More Replies...But I always tell my friends to call whenever they want to, even if it's nice to receive a txt asking. Talking costs nothing, and sometimes gives relief to suffering souls.
Things like Whatsapp and Telegram are my saviors. It allows my friends who like to actually speak to do so while I can text back. Even when I do speak back, I can listen and then talk after I think properly, and not send if I think I said something bad - much better than a phone call.
Load More Replies...Answerphone on landline. Both phones...if I don't know the number I will wait for a message
Sending a mail before texting to see if it's ok to send a text. And asking on facebook chat before sending the mail.
This. I have a friend who never texts to say she's gonna call or if it's okay if she calls or if I wanna talk. My girlfriend and I always ask each other if it's a good time to call and okay it with each other. I love it~
My suggestion: Don't say their names, sometomes they take it for granted.
Load More Replies...Literally do this all the time. I have hearing loss so at work sometimes I pretend I can't hear them lol #sorrynotsorry
I do this a lot cuz people don't get my weirdness. It's just better to avoid them til I find a fellow weirdo.
Certainly applies to me!! I've enjoyed avoiding the heatwave the same way!
Load More Replies...I once went outside to watch the rain for 5 minutes only to come back in to 10 phone calls from my frantic mother. I was 24....
For me it's: Having a sunny day and playing video games/watching anime while drinking Coca-Cola :D
Sitting by the window on a rainy day os so soothing.. Now I wish it rains

I set this up in my room and I could pull the curtains over and draw.
I find shops to be exhausting. Yet online shopping makes me anxious. I wish I could just... Draw it and it becomes real. Or have Doraemon as a friend.
Load More Replies...Before online shops I would phone local shops to see if they had what I wanted so I didn't have to battle the crowds for nothing.
Now if there was a way to not deal with the delivery driver! My sister and I always argue about who will go to the door. “I went last time! It’s your turn! I’m paying, so you go! Come on, pleeeease, you get the door.” Every single time.
Living in China it drives me mad that I have a store assistant following everywhere in shops, invading my space. Now I do almost all my shopping online
lol, over here in North America those people are called security guards.
Load More Replies...I HATE shopping online. I like to involve my five senses when shopping. Plus I don't always get along with technology and I can't stand to sit for too long. (lol stand to sit)
I find it really hard to start a conversation. It's like i find it hard to think of a topic and i feel that u should keep the conversation going if u started it
Same here. Furthermore, I happen to be interested in stuff most people are simply not so passionate about... *sigh* So hard to find a topic. It needs to happen spontaneously.
Load More Replies...I have a friend with high social anxiety who is always amazed and pleased when someone strikes up a pleasant conversation with her. It's the highlight of her day.
That`s exactly how I am. I have social anxiety, and can't talk to people even if I want to. When someone comes talk to me, allowing me to continue the conversation, and I get to feel like I'm normal, it makes me really happy. If you talk to me nicely once, I'm already gonna act like we're friends next time - but I absolutely can't be the one starting the conversation.
Load More Replies..."And you, why are you so loud ?" Seriously, people, why do y'all have to talk so LOUD ?
If it's in a "special" occasion like a party, I'll just say sorry, I'm just tired today or something.
Or volunteering to work the graveyard shift because you can take your coffee break outside at 4am when the streets are quiet and even the birds are asleep....
I guess you must have that experience,haha~ sounds interesting but a little bit horrible.
Load More Replies...I don't usually talk to the other drivers when it is busier. But this is still a cool feeling.
Scary. Santo Domingo has too many bums at that hour that would go after you if they see you alone or defenseless for your money, butt or your blood. And many are the immigrants from Haiti.
I just love the sound of rain period. Whatever time of the day, whenever...I just love to hear it. Plus the smell of mud and the trees (?!) is really calming.
I adore rain, thunderstoms, lightnings....they make me feel so relaxed
something that's weird is that even if i go out and enjoy myself, i still need 5+ days of no human contact, with optional cat obsession
Heh, heh - didn't know cat obsession was optional! ;-)
Load More Replies...Mine is executing the dodge when I walk down the corridor to work without having to say good morning to everyone else...
That one teacher the other teachers can't stand--if you aren't careful, they'll corner you and trap you in a dreadful one-sided conversation.
As an introvert myself I find this extremely rude! You not only disrespect that other person by ignoring him, but you are actively running from a conversation. This is not introversion, it's plain antisocial attitude.
Wow, you're an idiot. Of course i'm running from a conversation because its damn uncomfortable for me you moron, my stress level raises up to one thousand. Something I dont need at the morning. It's rude not to respect that.
Load More Replies...Except for the cat. Cats, dogs, other pets don't count as people, but we're so glad to see them.
Yes I don't see them annoying unlike if I saw someone already in the house just lying in the couch.
Load More Replies...Idk bout this. I'm fairly quiet but I also get lonely , I need my fam lol
It's true, but for many of us, being alone and independent is a bless. For that, i'm never lonely. I had to deal too much with my family, so i'm better without them.
Load More Replies...Well, I'm claustrophobic so I always take stairs and avoid people cus all people hate stairs....bonus, take the stairs and you can also avoid fainting from body odour
When someone is waiting by the elevator at work, I will always take the stairs. 4 floors of stairs over being in the elevator with someone I vaguely know. :)
How can you switch between being an introvert /extrovert ? I thought once you are, you just are. Like isn't it supposed to be a part of your personality?
Load More Replies...God, I've been trying to put that into words for myself and others all my life. That is exactly how I feel. I would want people around me but not to interact with me. Thank you so much for verbalizing it for me -I always thought I was just a freak.
I tell everyone at work I NEED my days of to recharge my "nice" battery. I wear a green apron...nuff said...
But many don't get this and some become offended if you tell them off.
Sometimes I catch myself thinking, what even is the point of ordering online so I don't have to go to the store, if I'm gonna have to talk to people to get my mail anyway?
Recently got tinnitus in one ear, now i can really hear silence in the most annoying way.. ☹️
Sounds like a great horror movie though. 'The sound of untapped solitude' sounds much better
Trying to read something while in a moving train would likely make me puke. Is that similar to a shy smile?
Oh, I'm motion sick too. But trains are okay. For some reason, it's only cars and busses that make me dizy and sick to my stomach. Planes are good too, but only while flying, I noticed, if it does get me a bit dizzy to read while still on land.
Load More Replies...Bit creepy to be taking photos of strangers on the subway, or is it just me? Regardless of whether they're male or female -or whether or not you delude yourself into thinking they're 'shyly flirting' with you it's still an invasion of privacy.
Wanting people to take notice of you out in public surrounded by public people. How introvert.
Now how many are reading because they want to and how many are reading because they have a term paper due on the title soon?
I could never concentrate on a book in a train I like to look at people and my surroundings.
Beauty, it's all for the beauty. Would you look nicely at an 'ugly' person?

Agree. I'm extreme introvert, but even I sometimes need people.
Load More Replies...As long as the delivery guy doesn't try to make a move on me, i'm good. For Pete's sake, i'm not even pretty. Desperation, maybe?
I can not stand ordering online. I do it though for points to a free pizza
I don't think that is what was meant by rola. Just that you mention not being an introvert earlier and here state a preference for not using an introverts-preferred method of shopping. Just a thought as to the point made and not an opinion.

Although I enjoyed the book, I was already swooning the first time I saw the movie and Harry and Ron have their Christmas in the Gryffindor common room (without all the other Gryffindors!), but when Harry got his invisibility cloak I was transported to heaven...

While I agree entirely, it depends on the person. If they're driving by and looking through windows to see if your really busy or away (after cancelled plans) then it's aweful. But I have a friend that I love so much she can (and has) walked up to the window, watched me do my thing for a second to asses the situation, knock and come right in.
NO. Just. No. Not even my sisters would get this option. Pick up the bloody phone and make an arrangement.

Looking back at Daria's remarks, i'm very sure that if any of her lines were said by me, nobody would've though of it as a good advise just because nobody likes the ones that are different in real life. As somebody said here: This is Bored Panda, even the cure for cancer would've been down-voted here.

That's a good husband. Whenever there is a thunderstorm and I go to bed before my husband does, he always cracks the door in case I need anything and shuts off all the lights so I can enjoy the lightning show.
Sounds perfect, i like it even more when mine joins me and reads a book of his own. Both completely separate but still together.

I have found that communicating with unseen, unknown professors, working through coursework problems etc. only online is highly stressful for someone with social anxiety. If the professor knows you and knows your personality (strengths, quirks, and weaknesses), then taking online classes with her is a breeze.

Displaying my talent leads to people leaving in a hurry, or calling an exorcist.
I saw a bumper sticker that said "13.1 hours of Netflix watched in a row. 26.2 Oreo cookies eaten in one sitting." That is an introvert night.
I don't know if these turn me on, but some of them are examples of things that I like or engage in, as I imagine many other people do, whether introverted or not.
I feel these are standard human emotions when there is already enough stressors out in life. Having some personal space, some quiet or some alone time is refreshing for everyone at times. The pushing of "introvert vs. extrovert" seems a bit too extreme.
Load More Replies...I like people, when they don't come to close and when they don't start talking to me !
Load More Replies...These mostly sound like social anxiety to me. Is that the same as being an introvert?
Not uncommon to have a little anxiety if you're severely introverted, I think. But yeah, for me being introverted is more about getting tired when being around a lot of people over some amount of time, and enjoying my own company. I do enjoy some socialization from time to time, though! Just not a lot.
