So, I’m an introvert and it wasn’t until last year that I really started to understand what that meant. I’ve always felt like there was wrong with me because I’m so incredibly quiet compared to most everybody else. Needless to say I’m surrounded by extroverts; both in my family and at school. Everyone is always saying “are you okay?” “is something wrong with you?” “you need to be more talkative. i hate quiet people” and so on and so forth. It would be amazing to have another introvert to talk to and hang out with. Especially since extroverts are a majority. I do love spending time with them, but somethin’s gotta give.

I can relate to all of you in some way. Me – introvert with extroverted tendencies. I can easily entertain and keep myself occupied, I find that I don’t really need people to live. But sometimes I get a nagging feeling that won’t go away, I just have to go out and have fun. I could go months without seeing my friends but suddenly realise, crap, I haven’t seen a friend for ages. It would feel to me as-if just a week had elapsed not a month or two since my last social ‘event’ (to me a social even is a movie, even a coffee).

People often mention how they like parties, how they ‘live to party’. Well, not once in my 21 years of living on planet Earth have I EVER looked forward to a party. I simply have zero excitement and 100% dread. I used to wonder why I hated parties, then epiphany! I hated parties because I hated people in groups of four or more, and wasn’t that far off hating people in general lol. I do long for an introverted pal of sorts, someone I could laugh or cry with but then abandon for a month.

Peace fellow intro’s.

It’s hard being an introvert sometimes because it’s sociable, bubbly, fun loving other half is the socially accepted form of human behaviours. To many people introverts are weird or not right, but that’s okay with me.

I’m an INTJ – the scientist, and I think most people think I’m this cold emotionless person. Most of the friends I have got are from when I was younger, and more outgoing and friendly. I’ve been finding it really hard to keep these friends, as the majority of them are extroverts, so they demand socialising and don’t seem to realise that some people don’t really like that. I feel like if I do one thing with them, they want me to do more and more and more, so what starts out as a quiet walk with the two of you, ends up to be a week long shopping sleepover extravaganza with twenty other people (okay maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration but you get my point). I like to know and plan out what is going to happen so when I’m faced with something as spontaneous as that, my mind fills with dread right until the last minute, when I’m forced to come up wih an excuse and cancel. They are getting bored of all the excuses now and I fear I will have no friends left. It seems what I need is somebody similar to my INTJ type, or at least a fellow introvert who understands me.

We certainly understand when our introvert friend says they don’t want to do something tonight – because they did something last night.

Absolutely! I hate the small talking, but I actually like parties IF a fun activity is at the center of it. At New Year’s my sweetie and I had some friends over and we did a game night. We played balderdash and I had so much fun doing that.

Cocktail parties with strangers and just sitting around small talking is like hell for me. I don’t like answering the same lame questions over and over, or the discomfort of fumbling for topics with people I don’t know and will likely never see again or for a long, long time. It seems like such a forced and excruciating way to get to know someone.

When you’re doing something together conversation comes organically and I prefer that. So much easier for someone like me who is both shy and introverted.
