I may be an introvert, but I'm not shy. Was when I was little though.
 . I am never lonely, and the only thing that tends to "bore" me is people who can't stop talking.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Sorry dude, but you sound pretty ignorant on the subject. This is common, though. Most people can't conceive of people that think differently than they do. Being introverted is not "inhibited and shy". It's also not a choice, and whether or not it's a benefit or a detractor is entirely dependent on the person and the situation. It's OK, though, you don't have to believe what those of us who actually ARE introverted say, you've got it all figured out, so plow on full steam ahead. We'll just sit back and enjoy the show.

Psychiatry is junk science. The fact that Jung or whoever made up a label for something means exactly dick. On turd island. You ever read up on psychological testing? It's garbage. People take this stuff and turn it into masturbation. Like this thread. Here we have a bunch of people congratulating themselves for being shy and anti-social. But they explain that their shyness is part of the beautiful inner life that radiates creativity and thoughtfulness. The amazing life of the introvert! They get to sit back and "enjoy the show" of the extroverted buffoons making fools of themselves. And the extroverted people are noisy louts who are only extroverted because they're insecure and desperately seek approval! I have a different psychological theory. I think a person can be anything. I think they can spend 12 hours directing thoughts inward and 12 hours directing thoughts outward. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I like to be alone or with my family. I am great in groups, especially work related, but during these times I'm "in character." It takes a lot of energy. I've described it as assuming the persona for the situation. It is how I can function in society. Even then, it is sometimes an effort to keep from panicking. |

GOT IT. You're basically taking the anti line of "guns are all the same, why do you need more than one?" and applying it to people's brains, how they think, their personalities and how they process input and stimulus. That certain traits that are demonstrably different aren't really different. I bet you're a regular in all the threads with "STOP LIKING THINGS I DON'T LIKE" posts, too, huh? |

I normally declined the birthday shindigs (all I did was show up that day - not a grand, unique accomplishment). For my 50th my wife and daughters insisted it was a special event and it was going to happen. OK. It was a small quiet dinner with a couple close friends. Much more satisfying than loud room full of casual acquaintances. |

do you self described introverts see that as a negative trait? A lot of extroverts seem to take exception to it. Some are outraged that I don't run my suck as much as they do. "Why aren't you talking? You need to smile. Right now." There definitely are drawbacks. One of the worst things is an extrovert who thinks they have a personal mission to convert introverts into extroverts because they think we are broken. That can result in walls covered with blood. |

I'm introverted. Dealing with people wears me out. I also believe that I'm the loudest introvert in the world. Introverted Type-A will kill me before I'm 65, I imagine.

Fuck no being introverted is so boring I could never be that way you can be anything you want to be if you have enough nut sack Thanks. We needed some full-blown retardation in this thread. People are not impressed when you write insults on the internet. The exact opposite is true, it makes you look defensive and weak. My viewpoint is that these faux psychology labels are meaningless and self-limiting, even though people blow out their o-ring trying to valorize them. This frustrated several guys. So they replied with insults and goofy straw man arguments. It doesn't reflect on me in any way, it reflects on you. 99.999% of people don't know what the terms introversion and extroversion actually mean. They mistake these labels used for empirical assessment of personality traits for a specific brain function that Jung was describing. Introversion and extroversion are related to how the brain experiences rewards for stimulus. Since human beings are highly socialized animals, the effect is often observed in social behavior. But you could be an extremely extroverted person and still prefer solitude. Most of the personality traits that you guys are describing technically belong to the "intellect" realm. Some of you guys describing yourselves as introverts are actually describing a narcissistic personality. If you dig down into any topic, you'll find that what most people think about that topic is so dumbed down that it's meaningless. Most things are too complicated to be properly understood without putting a lot of work into it. |

If I had the energy I could probably dance into the white house. Honestly though being in large groups of people is more physical draining then working. No. |

b/c you're not an introvert and draw energy from others... Introverts are drained by others. We're constantly taking in information and analyzing it....so large groups overwhelm. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Yep I go to work and work then go home and stay home. I buy groceries at 3 am and order most everything online. I have a small group of good friends and that's it. I cant imagine having a small group of friends . Lol b/c you're not an introvert and draw energy from others... Introverts are drained by others. We're constantly taking in information and analyzing it....so large groups overwhelm. I'm a hyper-analytical extrovert. Being around people gives me energy. |
