People used to think I hated them or was stuck up because I was most comfortable being by myself. It was tiring

I'm a depressed introvert. I def recharge when in my quiet bubble. But the lack of friends really weighs on me.

Can we address that they want to put this on the “Office Door”?

I hope not all introverts are “special snowflakes” whoring social validation on imgur.

God damn introverts, always ruining my good time!!
HaraldHartgeld
so edgy
TheGreatAku
Sometimes you should also ask yourself whether you're an introvert or just bad at socializing
RDSRELOADED
Im a super depressed introvert who was outgoing in highschool who was secretly depressed then
AvatarAang
I don't think that makes you an introvert or not an extrovert - you're just a normal person.

I never liked talking to people anyways, and get told off I need to go out more
PiGiSpi
I really dislike these "introverts are so special and unique" things made by introverts. I feel like it makes us seem like exotic animals
softestpants
This literally says: “I’m not mad, or depressed, or anything, I just need some time alone, and that’s okay.” What’s special about that?
PiGiSpi
instead of just regular people
Kenona
I have this weird thing where i dont always need to have a conversation but i'd love to just have someone around at most times.
railgap
I used to be an extrovert. Then I had a high fever. Now I'm an introvert, bordering on being a misanthrope.

Being an introvert is charging your batteries alone so you can socialize. Being an extrovert is charging your batteries socializing so you>

Thats bullcrap my dude, im sorry. It has a catchy sounding thing to it, sure, but its still just bullcrap.

>can spend some time alone.

Preach it!

I'm an introvert, but stop claiming you aren't antisocial. Introvert and antisocial are synonymous.

Morrowind is worth it.

The pinnacle of the elder scrolls series, absolutely beyond any reasonable comparison to the rest of it.

introvert? more like regular people, i'd say.

HaraldHartgeld
and the "A" in asocial stands for? ants or what?
MrRemy
Introverts unite! Alone, from the comfort of our own homes!
BrandtKadin
Best explanation I've heard is that Extroverts recharge by going out (ex. Parties), while introverts recharge by staying in (ex. Books).
sdakfsdfkjh
Its a load of bollocks tho, even if it "sounds in a way that just feels right".
PiGiSpi
That...doesn't make sense. I have never seen someone go to a party all night and come out "recharged". You mean they prefer that.
SirDownvote
Exactly. In the end, I think they mean to say that introverts are antisocial and extroverts are likely your typical human beings
rusrsdude
I hate it when people try and force me to go out even after i've said no. It just makes me dislike them and not wanna hang even more.
Nullspeak
i'm all of those

I’m an introvert that tends bar. Love my job but man I come home on empty. Netflix on ... recharge.
softestpants
I also loved bartending. I also thought I was an extrovert for years, turns out, I was just drunk.
hollywood429
Hahaha yea man that definitely helps out. It’s how I do it most of the time as well. It’s lost a lot of it’s fun tho lately which is sad

I have friends that I like to hang out with--but that I wish did not need to fill every silence with words. It's okay, I like to let my 1/

YUP (‘scus me shouting). Was trying to agree enthusiastically. Then my lack of enthusiasm for enthusiasm kicked in. Don’t get why ... reply>

Dont think you gotta go full roleplayer on it, its prolly going to be just fine.

Is everybody a social cripple autist in this comment section except you because Jesus Christ it seems like it
dEXm64
We really need to stop romanticising introversion
softestpants
Why? It’s frowned upon by so many people...
dEXm64
It really isn't though. People, usually introverts, like to think this because it provides attention that they lack from social interaction
softestpants
Huh.
LegendarySuperSwine
I've always understood it as introverts expend energy in social settings and are more energetic when alone or with small groups (<. 3)
moltencorgi
This is how it is for me. I fear large dinner parties even when I know everyone.
BeautifulNaiveSophisticatedNewbornBaby
Introverts are more easily stimulated whereas extroverts are not. That's why socializing can be mentally exhausting or feel like too much
Bstone1
Not as much energy exerted suppressing your panic attacks thinking about what to say to get out of a conversation that way.
dangerousDoc
I'm introverted and the reason is that I can listen to and follow several conversations at once when in a crowd I try to follow to many
MissAizea
That's not introversion, that's social anxiety
Muttons1337
Not always mutually exclusive. Some conditions may apply. See store for details.

Also important to remember, introversion is different than social anxiety. If you feel anxious in public and have trouble speaking you have
Lolzorski
I'm actually doing really well in social situations. I can keep a conversation and pull through awkward stuff. Small talk, serious talk /1
Lolzorski
I can manage all of that. It's just that, it requires a lot of effort. I need time to think about things, I need silence. I need to /2
Lolzorski
not watch people and constantly adapt to whatever social thing is happening. I can go several days without human contact and it refills me.
StopAskingMeForAnAccountImgurIWannaLurk
Social anxiety. Introverts just prefer to be alone and do what they want rather than having to cater to people and what they want.
danjanon
Thank you for saying this! Sometimes I see people talking about being an introvert and I'm all "that sounds worse than introversion RUOK?"
hiddenzamek
What is it called when you have both?
manslut
Then you're one of us...
McPopplers
Me too. Very frustrating

That just means you're an introvert with social anxiety. Like me.

Same love talking to people online where there are no consequences but hate talking to ppl irl when running away is socially unacceptable.
