Bluebellstar Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I am definitely and proudly an introvert. Being around other people is so draining. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Introvert for sure. I like my alone time and have no problem filling it, but I have no problem chatting with decent people as long as they start the conversation and it’s not small talk. Link to post Share on other sites
failing adult Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 yup im an introvert, I can act extroverted in social settings if I need to but thats unnecessary since I am staunchly against going places that have people. Me and my partner are both extremely introverted, but we've somehow cancelled that out in regards to each other and can spend whole days together and we talk over messaging every day. we'll just spend time together , while we do our own things, like I'll read and they will cross stitch etc. however I have not spoken to anyone other than my partner and one friend (memes, in which we just go 'lol u') in over 4 weeks I still live with my family but I maybe see them like, twice a day since I'm actually a cave dweller and leave my room for no one and i am extremely content, literally never been happier Link to post Share on other sites

SenAlkazar Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I'm an introvert as well 😄 my closest friend group for the longest time was only like 4 ppl. Funny thing is, two of us were introverted and the other 2 were extroverted. I don't mind staying at home all day to watch videos or draw but it's nice to get on voicecall every once in a while. We're all too busy to really do that atm tho, so I've been pretty lonely. Can only stand my family for so long before I want to be w/ friends.... Link to post Share on other sites
Ldlelee Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I'm so introverted that sometimes, I forget that a lot of people are not. I just looked up the ratio, and extroverts outnumber introverts 3:1. 😳 But yeah, I'm introverted and always will be introverted. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 @Sean_Bird I guess a lot of performance artists are actually introverts so that makes sense. Link to post Share on other sites
Ceebs Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 2 hours ago, Moon Spirit ☽ said: @Sean_Bird I guess a lot of performance artists are actually introverts so that makes sense. Yeah I think so. I'm friends with someone who's a somewhat well-known folk musician and he's a great storyteller on stage, very politically outspoken both offline and on, happy to talk to anyone who attend his gigs... but also very very private in some ways and he clearly guards his personal life carefully. You can sense a certain reservation even when he's chatting to people. He lives way out in the middle of nowhere on a farm with his wife (she's big into horses) and also has little place in very rural Nova Scotia where he spends a lot of time in the summer, usually alone. He's told me about anxiety he used to have before going on stage when he was younger, which is part of the reason he used to drink a lot (been sober for decades now). But you'd never really know he was as private and introverted as he is if you just saw him on stage. He seems very at ease (and probably is at this point). Link to post Share on other sites
Raindrops Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I am very introverted. I've had no friends for years and been fine with it. 😗 I run out of energy very quickly when I'm forced to socialize. Link to post Share on other sites
AavaMeri Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I'm an introvert, specifically a person with limited social battery. I may be very talkative and social a share of a day, but don't bother me when I run out the battery, or I bite. Link to post Share on other sites
Colossal Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Full-blown, incredibly stereotypical introvert. My social battery is reserved for when I volunteer at nerd conventions, mostly. Link to post Share on other sites
clawdy Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I'm a total INFJ introvert. Socializing with people drains mw. I love doing everything by myself and when I have meetings with friends I literally have to psyche myself up to do it. Back in high school my friends and I would go out every weekend and I had to invent being sick at least once a month. I was always known as the sickly friend. In time though they all realized I was just faking sickness to ditch them 😅 Link to post Share on other sites
daveb Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Oh, when I was younger I also invented excuses to get out of weekly meetings with friends some of the times (thinking it would avoid hurt feelings). These days I try to tell people the truth, that I didn't feel like it that time or that I wanted to be alone (or occasionally, that I have a migraine or some other thing that stops me even if I wanted to go). The people I spend time with get to know that I am introverted and sometimes am not up to being with people, especially in noisy crowded places. Link to post Share on other sites
_Neon_ Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I'm an introvert. I can exist around other humans for a max of about 4 hours before needing a break. Significantly less if I'm not really good friends with them. Link to post Share on other sites
N8ty L3asT Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 For the most part yes, going into big drives me to insanity but small groups are ok to some extent. Link to post Share on other sites
