Other Introversion/Alone/Solitude

[Hall Kervean]

I really wish I was spontaneous, but I have a habit of overthinking things.
In games and stuff it lets me strategise ans I'm typically pretty good at things like that, but when talking to people.. I basically don't ever know what to say.

I basically either get lucky or overthink things within about 5 seconds. After 5 seconds, it's probably too awkward to say something, so I stop thinking about that and move on... to something else in the conversation...

I'm always afraid of people moving on to a topic I don't know xP

LOL!!! Was not expecting that! bahahaha, GG

I do like my alone time, but sometimes when I'm spend too much time alone, I tend feel a bit depressed.

I for one don't mind being an introvert unlike my girlfriend who is completely extroverted.

I feel the struggles of an introvert in conversation. I always get so insecure and over-think everything. Even in my texts, I try to type in proper punctuation, then I think maybe I'm too serious and I end up re-writing it several times over.

I also feel so lost in a group. I feel like a third wheel even when it's not a date setting. I'd rather be a unicycle. XD

Look, other people. I like you, and I know you like me, too. It's not your fault. We just aren't meant to be together.

Please don't touch me.

I love my alone time, but I don’t like being lonely. It’s difficult to explain. Recharging after a stressful day is very important to me even though I enjoy spending time with friends and family. I suppose it gets overwhelming sometimes and I need a break.

I tend to be introverted even online as I usually don't talk to anyone, even writing this post is giving me anxiety. It's a thing I wish to overcome so I can become an extrovert because I want to be able to talk to people.

humans are horrible and i'd be completely content if no one ever made small talk with me again... not that i participate in it anyway.

unfortunately looking different and having an alternative style really seems to attract the 'friendly' strangers. i've gotten to the point where i've basically pre-programmed responses for the inevitable questions that my existence causes.

yes, the piercings are real. yes, my hair is real. yes, i can see even though my bangs cover my eyes. yes, i dyed it myself. no, you cannot touch it.

repeat x100 like i did today at school (first day, yay... not)

extroverts are a plague and must be destroyed!

Can I ask you a question? I'm not trying to be offensive but I've always been curious about this; why do you dress "alternative" if you actually don't want any attention drawn to you? I always used to wonder that stuff when I was in highschool.

I hate how I'm constantly seen as selfish for needing alone time. I try to tell my mom that I need it, but she always guilts me by saying it hurts her feelings.

I agree completely. People make it out to be that introverts need some sort of help living in society - like we're unhappy and miserable. I'm very happy, especially when I'm at home on my PC, reading a good book, or writing.

 

[Imaginarium]

Ah yes. The old notion that there's something wrong with wanting to be left to your own devices. You should all adopt "the INTJ deathstare". It's usually enough to deter pesky extroverts from any further attempts to disturb your peace.

A sad truth but the world belongs to extroverts.

if introverts ruled the world tbh
