hello...just your fellow introvert

I bring all the boys to the yard

@blue_topaz

I hide in my room because social interaction

@Grace<3

Hey guys
its nice to have a chat for introverts :)
I have a story…the other day at school we had to take a personality test and the introverts had to go in one group and the extroverts had to go in another group. As a group, we had to write down a list of traits of being an introvert (or extrovert, but I was in the introvert group). When it was time to share with the class, nobody from my group wanted to read our list so we all just stood there awkwardly XD
When you put a bunch of introverts together, what else do you expect lol

@Imperfect_Autumn

Lol! Yeah, that sounds about right!

@blue_topaz

Yup, pretty much sums it up

@ravens

Lol same

@Nanashima Haru

Why can’t other people understand that I want to be alone? Is it really that strange to nat want to talk with others?

@ravens

Can you not see I am perfectly fine with being alone? I’m not lonely and if you see me not smiling it’s not because I’m depressed, it’s because nobody feels like smiling all the time.

@Lavy-the-Nerdy-Sci-Fi-Birdy

I know! Like, seriously, I'm not going to conform to the notion that I have to be smiley and social to be fine!
There's nothing wrong with me!

@ravens

IKR? Like I'll be talking to my dad and he'll keep asking "Are you okay?" and apparently he doesn't quite know what "Yes I'm fine" means because he'll respond "Are you sure you're okay?" like jeez dad I don't have to smile 24/7

@Imperfect_Autumn

My family has realized that my neutral face isn't a smile, or even necessarily happy-looking. They just go with it.

@Lavy-the-Nerdy-Sci-Fi-Birdy

Yah, my sister's resting face looks like she wants to murder.

@Imperfect_Autumn

Like Jeremy Renner?

@Primnip

Hello.
Question, why are people so hard to deal with?

@Googly_I (inactive)

Im an ambivert, but mostly on the introvert line.
as a kid i was way too different. I would cry everytime i had no one to sit next to on the bus.

I dont understand my 1st - 2nd grade self at all, man.

@Googly_I (inactive)

I am a fellow introvert. My parents made me stop reading during lunch to make me actually talk to people. They took away my book and said that I had to actually talk to people. Does this happen to anyone else?

Feel you.
Once my mom gave me a lecture about how i need to make more friends since the ones i currently have are jerks. I can understand why she'd say that, but she threw in a bit of mocking me even though shes an introvert herself.

Also, why does having only one or two close friends result in the teacher writing a note to your mom that you need to ‘branch out’?

@Lavy-the-Nerdy-Sci-Fi-Birdy

Like Jeremy Renner?

Yes, like Jeremy Renner.

@HadesKidatHeart

Ok, I and totally an introvert, but I do have a couple close friends and I have this problem that every time they ask to hang out I feel like I have to. Does anyone else get this? It is like if I don't say yes they may never ask me again (also I have a lot of anxiety, so that could be what that is)

@blue_topaz

Yes I get that too!

@HadesKidatHeart

Yes! Thanks so much! Do you just go with it, or sometimes call it a day and ignore them anyway?

@blue_topaz

I always go with it, my friends mean well and I enjoy their company, even when I’m tired.
