10 Struggles Only Introverts Will Understand 

Oh

Hahaha , thank you for the one where we eat in our car, so many memories! 🤣

I have an exceptionally comfortable car, but how did you know that’s my fav lunch spot at work? 🤗

You are awesome

Good video, but we gonna ignore the fact that this man has the entire map Skyrim and 2 gorgeous bass in the background slapp like on the video and may the blood of the dovah flow with you Fun Ro Dah will happen if you dont

If this were me, I'd be like, "name one topic of conversation that isn't small talk." "Er, well... the Vikings last night... er, the weather..." "Gtfo."

@@Whimsy3692 Found the INTJ...

Fr Like I want to talk but ...... PEOPLE

I had another student go off on me in a group therapy simulation in grad school. He thought I was sitting there judging everyone.

Anyone got a good reply for that because it pisses me off that people who go out of their way to be rude are heroes but if I simply want to hold back on talking until I am comfortable to do so, then I'm rude and unfriendly?

I relate. Thoe I get up and walk around aimlessly untill someone tells me to join the group or the teacher tells everyone I still am not part of a group and finds a group for me to join.

That why you need atleast 1 friend

then end up standing there with the teacher

I would always ask the teacher to put me in a group because I was too shy to approach anyone myself

Same i usually just get stuck with whoever is left. Or no ome at all so they force we in a group of people and make me want to rip my hair out.

@Miracle is me It is not by choice.

Least we don't ramble for 3 hours completely ignoring the fact the other person is obviously disinterested

I love this description

@@MrsDazl me too :)

Real

I went to the mandatory office Christmas party and was "social". Then I got invited along on a bar hop. Yeah, no

Bro, my social battery was out for a whole week once : I had a trip to Greece with my highschool and with like 30 other students, and I didn't know anyone except for two people that were in my class but that I didn't talk to or didn't like. So I forced myself to socialize a little, during this whole 1 week trip, for exemple when I had to share a hotel room with 2 other people that I didn't know, or when we had to eat in the restaurant. The only time I had alone during this trip was like, 20 minutes once when I was the only one wanting to stay alone in my hotel room while the others visited the city. Plus I was tired and a little sick even before the trip, so my condition after the trip was even worse, but I was quite relieved when I was finally back home 😅

Literalyyy

IBZD Arts someone actually dared to inform me that I should socialize more

Sad truth :((

Why are we here... Just to suffer...

@@victorianastav4969 OK OK I was just making a meme... I get it....

Haha when you have to make a todo habit each day of talking to atleast 3 people a day so that you wont be depressed due to less socialixation and work exhaustion completely get it

Most relatable thing I have read so far

That's me!

@@maevalopez8107 agreed

The struggle is real!

same here

Yes

Now I don't feel so bad 😅

Yep. Just dies mid-sentence. You know, it’s funny how it

It's true. It's like a switch was flipped and I suddenly just want to run...run away and go hide in my closet and recharge haha!

My social battery is exactly 2 hours, then I'm a zombie XD

We 💢💫 used to call it crumping...as in I'm crumping gotta go now...or let's speak before I crump

Ouchie. Related to this one a little too much

Ugh yes I struggle with this a lot

Yp

yo if it wasn't for my anxiety, I would be fucking President with my ideas

Fax

Man tell me about it

I’ve always been practicing social distancing and feel like everyone is finally catching on😂

I used to always have a mask on just to block out any interactions😂

Yes! Kkkkkk I'm so grateful don't have to do a handshake, neither to kiss people, here in Brazil it's very comum, and it's like aaahh so unnecessary

I feel bad about all the sick people but social distance has been good for me. I'm not sad I couldn't crowd in a smelly gymnasium with you and watch you kids try and act, with 100 other parents desperately trying to catch something cute on camera for Facebook. Pass.

Yup!!😂☺️

Its just I always think maybe it was my chance to socialize but then I'm like nahhhhh

I don’t use it as a chance to socialise I’m fine with like...In my school there’s events where you play games and eat food I don’t talk to people, if I see my classmates I just say hi and ignore conversation and just eat and play games-

My school ended no last tour because of covid, and i 100% regret

A had a master degree group project with several cancelations and that was such a relief.

I didnt want to go anyway but I'm going to act like I did so it's not awkward. When a plan is made: I don't want to go but If I say No they are going to ask questions and I would like to avoid that maybe I'll just not show up, wait but then their going to ask more questions nevermind I'll go.

Yep 😊

It absolutely was!! I loved it!

That's a mood.😂😑😑😑👍

Well... I hear it a lot too but is it that bad?

“Talk louder please” is what *i* always here. 😑

Yea im sUrE that EVEryOne says that to u

@@skulltothebone5003 no, it’s good. But I don’t actually listen lol if it goes too long I just decide to desconect

Yup, I feel like 'go away'.

ah! It’s the worst! ‘I feel like I should move my car to that other spot but I’m afraid it’ll look too obvious’ 😕

Yes

@@Lostsage01 I don’t be caring I move my car anyway 😭

@@danielaeiterer i agree.. 👍if i dont have internet i do other stuffs...

so true

It really be like that tho

Yeah..my life is just like this

One time I spoke to my best friend 3 hours non stop...😅

@@Lodosssc You have a good friend, he seems to be a pro listener

Ikr lol 😂 This one time my friend poured the wrong chemical during an experiment and messed it up and we had to start over, and when I got mad at her she was so shocked 😂 Now she basically tells all of our friends that I get really scary when I’m mad and uses that as an example lol

Yup.

It's like you're not allowed your one moment of justified anger. But everyone else does it to you all the time 😒

That is so incredibly true. People spout off and rant all the time. You have one rare moment of public anger and everyone looks at you like you just ran over their dog.

Or when you repeatedly ask someone not to do something , and after like the 6th time you get annoyed, and they have the nerve to ask why you're angry

7. Hold your pee in class because you don't want the attention 8. Being late to class is your worst nightmare

9. You have received several awards for being the quietest in class 10. Having a teacher tell you that you need to ask more questions but you never have questions you want to ask

11. Having to present in front of the whole class without breaking eye contact 12. Losing participation points because you’re too afraid to speak 13. Always being the last one to get with a partner because you’re too scared to get up and ask somebody to partner up 14. Having classmates telling you to talk and smile more

16. Teachers forget your in their class and barely acknowledge your existence. (Happened to me too many times. I just want to be seen!!!😭)

Wanting to be asked to answer a question because you know the answer but at the same time hoping the teacher will ask someone else to answer

It means their will never meet them,rite? Imfao

"Maybe ill see you there" means - " You definitely wont see me there because ill be at my house."

I'm already exhausted just thinking about interacting. Hahahaha!!!!

Maybe=OH HELL NAW IM NOT GONNA MEET YO AGAIN BITCH

LOL it means your not even gonna come

Frrr

I got so tired of that happening that one time when everyone carried on talking over me i just repeated myself incrementally louder and louder until i basically yelled it at them, but not in an aggressive way. Their reactions were hilarious, they were half confused half annoyed with me shouting and half amused by the ridiculousness of it. I said to them “I didn’t think anyone heard me so I thought I would turn my volume up”

I just talk when i must

Extroverts are just annoying

@@matthew3774 OMG that happened to me too, and then they're mad at me for shouting...

Its so true, I ignore the call and text Later on....💜💜

Me,ok

This is why I have a call block app and constantly keep my phone on do not disturb and if they don’t leave a voicemail I won’t call them back and if I know them I’ll wait for the call to end then text them. 😂 Unless it’s family or something business related.... I probably still won’t call them back... or like... doctor or health stuff.

Gets phone call: PANIK presses phone call* Person: hello is any body there? Me: dissapears

@@BananaGrace 👏🏼🙌🏼

"You don't interest me enough to be spoken to regularly." Something along those lines.

@@ExcuseMyWeebRudeness thats savage but thanks

usually I just say I'm a shy person but its gets repetitive when they ask you the same question over and over and you keep having to come up with new answers 😤

Me: why are you so loud?

"Because conversation is an inconvenience to my quietness."

Not the window bees will fly in.

People: get out of the house see the sun be social Me: sitting in the garden of the house 🏠 taking vitamin D from the sun ,being social with the ants 🐜 ( i don’t like them actually but you know the social life is hard )birds 🐦 and reading a good book 📖

But if I see the sun, the sun can see me. That's not okay.

Ceilinh Omg but that’s mean we are being social and this is what they want at least they will leave us in our special social life 😂

**rolls the window up**

Giorgia B - That’s how I am. I’m not necessarily shy. I just energize when alone or when I’m with those very close to me in my home. I get grouchy if I spend too much time with people in general. They annoy me, especially if they are mean to me and expect not to be to them in return (hypocrites), shallow, or willfully stupid (not if they are mentally challenged though for whatever reason).

facts, being shy and an introvert are two different things, but it's possible to be both.

I'm both introverted and shy 😂

Exactly, I've built strong self-confidence and am not afraid to speak and express. I actually enjoy to entertain others and definitely I am not invisible to people even if I wanted to. But after some social time I need to recharge alone and I rather spend time on my own or with one close person than go to party or shopping or whenever I have to deal with people.

@@BeardedBarley1 I relate to this so much! If I act mean to a person who was mean to me, ppl just outright say, I knew you were a snake! So, she being mean to me is nothing but if a quiet person does that in return, they are snake! Where's the logic!!

By the time someone asks me to say it again...i forget what i said,it happens all the time so my usual reponse is:nvm (but it's pronounced that way)

It also happens to me aaa

Nope. All the time. Sometimes when I speak in a conversation that's a relevant to the conversation they look at me with this look like they'd rather have someone else speak even though what they were saying was just as boring but somehow people liked it more. I don't speak in school too much anymore. It's happened too much. Even if it's just answering a question.

This right here. The one I hate the most. Don't push/ask me to talk if you won't listen. Argh. Happened quite often before already that it pushed me to stop trying anymore haha

Same hear, my voice is just gone like a breeze, oof.

they try to comfort me......i just wanted to recharge in the middle of class by sleeping

Me just causally minding my business and someone thinks something is wrong. It's quite annoying honestly.

@@anissa2361 same. Just let me and my resting b!t©π face just sit here we didn't ask for you to speak to us.

Yes! 😂 sad but so true

Suki?

Anonymous Turtle laughing...he’s not the only one either. Has lots of ignorant friends...

Kirsten Cowan , uuuuh, you mean friends of whom he is ignorant?

INFJ I presume?

brownin329 who?

Omg, yes! No one believes it when I express things like that. I can understand why though, listening to the words that come out of my mouth I can hear how stilted and unnatural they sound and I'm thinking, "that's not what I meant!"

People are constantly accusing me of being sarcastic 😭

DUDE IKR

I can relate to that.

people bringing their babies into work is a big one... I have to fake like I'm amazed, actually I'm thinking wow 7 billion people on planet, hardly an accomplishment

Emma Rahner I switch it on consciously.

Like when people say "don't look so angry!"

Uuugh and all those times I get why are you always angry? Questions ....

@@Karo27007 oh yeah totally! I noticed I always look the angriest when Im concentrating myself, so the more I concentrate to get along with people, the angrier I look.

@@iTzProLike1 so true!! 😂

Welcome brother, to our introverted s o c i e t y

Yeah ikr.. I literally liked all the comments when reading😂 so relatable

Now if only some of these people went to high school with me. Then again being introverts we’d probably glance at each other once and remember it as a little awkward or not at all and it wouldn’t go anywhere else so it wouldn’t really matter anyway

one of us! one of us! one of us!

I'm happy to be here too lol welcome

yup

So relatable 😂

accurate

That sounds more like social insecurity than introversion. It implies that you want to join in, get angry when your excluded, but then experience fear or aversion when you do have the opportunity. Unlike the many of the assertions in this video introversion is more about how a person recharges their energy reserves. For the extrovert, the dopamin that accompanies social interactions is a strong motivator. Introverts are more sensitive to acetylcholine, a reward endorphin closely tied to memory. Introvert can find the same levels of happiness alone that an extrovert requires company to achieve. But with your post you have hit upon a truth that is often times not understood. And that is the fact that there is more to a person's personality than simply introversion and extroversion. We read that, and think, well of course. But it is amazing how often we need to be reminded of the obvious. In the MBTI model of personality makeup, four factors are looked at that predict very well how a person might behave and feel. That system has been expanded to a fifth factor that deals with how actively a person takes action upon their choices. In each of these factors there are, on a sliding scale, those who tend either more cerebral or more carnal. And by carnal I simply mean social up to and including the more carnal of activities. And so with the addition of this fifth element we can see that there are indeed not only sixteen but rather thirty two distinct personality manifestations. Every one of these manifestations save for just one, has some factor that tends toward the carnal. And thus we can now see clearly why many if not most introverts both want to engage socially but simultaneously shy away from what part of their personality is driving them toward. And it tells us the role personality plays in the propagation of our species. Thirty one out of thirty two distinct personality types and tend toward, at least in part, the carnal end of the spectrum. The one personality type that is not at all tended toward the carnal, is the INTJ-A. The takeaway here is, that is can be enormously helpful to know and understand your particular personality type. When you do this, it's much easier to find strategies that will help you better deal with conflicts such as the one you describe. Either by allowing you to overcome your tendency toward finding a way out of things your invited to. Or by simply embracing the chance for solitude without regret or resentment. #endhatrednow

Empathy is only human wow omg that’s actually something I never thought about. That really explains it a lot. Thank you!

Mine usually dies by the last hour...it's when my classmates ask me ALOT of questions like:Translate this,explain this,is there homework and if there is can i copy it then please translate it,help us clean up etc. etc. And i still need to fix my uniform and bags since i never clean it up throughout class and i live in the Phillippines so there aren't any lockers and all of them are either social butterflies or jocks(though we don't have a field since i live in the capital city and we're surrounded by small houses & stores 1 meter from the gate,1 of the latter broke the teacher's desk when trying to backflip and 1 of the butterflies kept talking to me i almost forgot a test though the entire class are asking me to translate it to english(3 of our subjects are in english and i'm the only byelingual who speaks both English and Tagalog( Filipino))

I feel your pain

Mine is already dead the moment I get to class when I haven’t even said anything to anyone

@@Jay_Park_ same but i sleep in class and it gets drained again right before school ends

I felt that.

Right. Sometimes family is the worst.

bruh

Family just talks about other people's life and stories and gossips and it is so boring.

Can't even tell them i got an A on an exam like a month ago...

My sister was the first extrovert to take me under her wing.

thats am i xd

thats true every time I say something louder than normally my friends or classmates say it... when I told them (my friends) not to they didn't understand that it makes me uncomfortable, only once I didn't regret it when a girl said that I have beautifull voice

Whenever i speak to express myself, people would stop me from talking even though they nag how quiet i am in the first place

@@light8697 Same. It's annoying. Do people think that you are mean, because you are quiet? I get that a lot.

I know!

I can relate!!! LOOOL

Hahaha, yup. Also hiding when you see someone who knows you, like in a store.

Sameeeee

I do that too, omg

Or waiting 5 to 10 minutes in a bathroom stall until you hear that the entire bathroom has been emptied because you’re too afraid that you’ll intrude on the conversation

Add: “to you.” at the end of this. I have stuff to say to the right person.... sometimes quite a lot if it goes well. But honestly I can’t risk engaging with anyone that I don’t find holds my interest. It will only encourage them.

@@GG-wc3nx I can relate. With some friends I talk a lot, but with most people I just don't have nothing to say

@@GG-wc3nx same

Very simple introvert logic i agree

fr. my parents think i'm depressed because i'm so quiet but like, nah fam. i just don't wanna fake enthusiasm and pretend to be interested in irrelevant topics.

🙌

Ouch. I feel attacked.

Yep

YES

*ABORT MISSION YOU'VE BEEN EXPOSED*

I can relate to this too... I did not like that

My mom says I think I'm too good for everyone cause I don't want to talk that much..... Yippee I'm living the best life 😐

I get the opposite. New friends will tell me about how I’m not as innocent as I look😂

@@gunybjarnadottir7870 bro same

@@gunybjarnadottir7870 I've gotten that too.

When my battery runs out either the wall or my phone becomes really interesting lol so I can relate

One time at a little cousins house I was playing with them, then I go into what seemed like a semi-unconscious state. Then I emerge from it, probably at least 5 minutes latter. I don’t know what happened then, I’m unsure of how much time passed, and someone was probably trying to talk to me. Overall it was a fun experience that took me away from the socialness of it all and gave time to recharge

Yes! Me too! Like I'm still looking at them and sometimes even nodding and still knowing when to say things like "that's great" or "wow" - but I have no idea what they are talking about anymore. I feel like a jerk, but I just can't focus anymore.

You’re not crazy. I can totally relate!!

Same! I usually excuse myself to avoid being disrespectful, though.

@Divoký Lev Wow I can so relate. I often feel relieved when people cancel but at the same time I feel ignored and unappreciated. And those are real triggers for me, I hate that feeling. I have a deep need to feel like I matter and count, which is probably confusing for people since I often withdraw. I think introverts live with many contradictions. Feeling alone but not wanting to meet people. Wanting to feel that people try to included u but not actually wanting to be part of it. Life is hard😅

@@eleonore-8969 with internet . Introverts life is more simple

Yes! Then I guilt trip myself for the next week or so! 😆

i hate going to crowded restaurants where you have to wait even 30 minutes to just order. Waste of time.

If I had a dollar everytime my family said " Why won't you go talk to someone" I'd be richer than the entire country of America.

If I had a dollar for everytime someone asked me are you depressed I would have like 1 or 2 dollars

If I had a dollar for every time that happened to me, I’d be able to pay for my entire fucking college tuition.

Every freaking time!

thats so true, I sometimes feel like a ghost when I suddenly have something cool to say and nobody reacts to it, even tho they totally heard it.

@@iTzProLike1 why does that even happen?like I'm present right there, and no reaction at all.

Not much gets me down more than going someplace thinking it'll be quiet and finding a huge crowd. Once I went by myself to a family-style restaurant and the manager wouldn't leave me alone; he actually asked me why I was alone and didn't I have any friends. I just felt like being around people without having to interact with them, but I guess that was too much to ask.

Living at a varsity accomodation I always cancel cooking when I find people in the kitchen

Me every time...even when I need some air and go to the roof...I have to peep to make sure there's no one out there

had that at school recently, we were gonna have big lunch so i was like woo everyone goes at their own times right? no, all classes came and i just sat away in a corner eating my own things

Happened to me at the store today. Went in to buy shoes, too many people, then decided I don't need shoes today.
