Introverted doesn't equate to socially inept. I can and do make friends. I just prefer to spend more time alone than I do with them. They're cool with it- they still invite me, but don't get upset if I'm not up for it.
No.
I do not want to be adopted.
I want to be respected.
I like living alone. I like my own company.
I do not want to be adopted and "fixed" by some pushy extrovert.
an extroverts view of what an introvert is. Introvert = not the same as being shy. Here's an introverts view of an extrovert - they drain the energy out of me and I need to recharge.
I had the idea of going to a bar to meet new people, but then I realized those people would want to go to the bar and that I’d have to explain to them I don’t like bars and only went there to meet people.
this is also why i hate the "if a friend doesnt reach out to you theyre not your friend" bs
if someone talks to me, ill bombard them with questions of how they are. but i never reach out first, as my mind refuses to allow it
I'm an introvert, I have a small social battery and need to be alone to recover, but I have a habit of randomly showing up in people's lives and they can't get rid of me
Or! An extrovert bothered and pushed their way into their life and it was just easier to give in🤚. There she is now going to ask me why I am up peacefully coffee'ing... Jesus! After 10 years still pushing her way into my life. No getting rid of some people! No matter how hard I glare. 👁️👁️
And as an introvert, these kinds of people deserve to be taken out back to The Shed of No Return. Or in the more legal sense... served with harassment charges. THAT, they understand, because no extravert in their right mind wants to be tagged as a Lifetime stalker. Oh, they'll be mad, but so what?
You are so right!!! A neighbor had taken on a responsibility for a volunteer organization where the work was being done manually. I helped her computerize it and now, at 80, have more friends than I had the entire rest of my life.
As an extroverted introvert, I must say that being an introvert ≠ being antisocial. Being an introvert just means that you get exhausted because of social interaction (even if you enjoy it) and you recharge when spending time alone.
They get invited to play MTG, and the rest is herstory!
You barely have to interact, and you get to punish the extroverts with counterspells and targeted removal of their commander!

Introvert couldn't stand the extrovert, all the incessant noisy useless blather, and went back to the box for some peace and quiet😘

I'm not even housebroken.
Extroverts are annoying AF and I just want them to leave me alone.
Please spare me for all the extroverts in the world.
I do not want or need to be adopted. Thanks.
Nothing is more irritating than some extrovert that does not respect our life choices and thinks that they are going to "fix" us.
Do you want something to eat at least?

Come let’s go on grand adventures.
sorry, not sorry...
... and I like it.
It was pure Hell.😄
Doesn't make you shy.
An extrovert likes to be in other peoples space.
Doesn't make you welcome!
