Absolutely. I told my boss exactly how much money I needed to save the country from mass death the other day. I am still right but I am too introverted to mention it again. I know he knows. It's enough to know I know he knows. I still think about it often though and wonder if I was right. Trust me, I am not joking.
No matter the situation just put your hands in your pockets. Then they wont just idly hang on the sides looking stupid and thatll keep you from crossing them over your chest making you look very unpleasant and aggressive
besides the brutally honest commentary, what never fails to amaze me is the capacity of the people standing next to him as he speaks to keep a straight face. wonderful.
@@pieter490 Well, that should make it especially hard, because if they are listening--especially with as much effort as you are ascribing them, so much that they carry a straight face merely from their efforts--then they would be more likely to pick up on the subtleties of his humor, or the humor in its entirety, which would in return create laughter.
Being an overthinking introvert is like being casted as the least liked character in a low budget movie because you're a perfect fit for the role,but you're not embarrassed because at least the theater is empty
Because he’s a Frankie. His entire species is biologically geared towards revealing and relating the truth of a culture, just like a Canadian is instinctively focused on being nice and boring, or a Whovian is for digging into the physics of the subject matter, while occasionally getting into debates on which Doctor was better, completely ignoring that every one is portrayed and defined by their own enjoyable personality and stories. …. Or us French are towards being pretentious pricks towards most other people. (Nowhere near as bad as hipsters, but still.)
“They exist in a liminal space of human subjectivity” This made me laugh at first, but now I realise how accurately this describes a feeling I’ve been having lately. I’m in a burnout and have been pretty much forced to do very little for the past months, sometimes just staring at the ceiling for hours on end. It’s this feeling of loneliness combined with an extreme awareness of existence and time. Everyone and everything around you is passing by, but you are standing still just observing. It is the feeling of being outside of time, in a way. Your description finally made me understand it and allowed me to put it into words. You’re a genius Frankie! 🔥
Quite accurate indeed! I feel you, lately I've been feeling detached from almost everything and everyone, plus being exhausted. I hope you get real rest and do fine. Sending you love ❤
@@perspii2808 He's using very advanced words to describe something simple, and that's what the humor is about. "Liminal space of human subjectivity" to describe somebody being moderate and reasonable.
Some introverts are so introverted that their own brain suppresses that self-importance feeling to the point that they don't even feel it or realise they care so much about themselves, making those replays of embarrassing situations feels 100x worse, because they fail to realise that not a single random person remembers them, and anyone who did, just dismissed anything potentially awkward as 'they were just nervous'
the balance between ruthless genuine critique and funny jokes strikes a perfect balance to make people that this video can apply to actually reflect, this channel is truly unique
This is not a just a great fun video but completely true, insightful and genuinely really helpful and therapeutic as an autistic introvert myself, this video is perfect, and genuinely like might make me less crazy, thank Frankie for calling us out
What about them? I might end up wearing Crocs at the airport sounds kinda funny Funnier still is that, if I were at the airport it wouldn't even be because I'm traveling, I'd be seeing someone off in crocs
I start atleast 500 conversations with myself about these useless subjects almost every day. Most of the time they are focused on something negative too.
@@yamatanoorochi3149 "People who wear Crocs clearly prioritize comfort over preparedness, as does a society who seems not to think about the future, blinding themselves voluntarily as an escape from the harsh realities of the world". Edit: typo
...When an introvert refuses to fill the silence with pointless noise, society labels them as rude, arrogant, or depressed -- and although an introvert can be all three of those things, they are usually just two at most.
I'm an introvert and definitely not rude. Definitely depressed. I can be arrogant in some ways, but most of the time I feel like i don't know anything and don't believe in myself. I sometimes realize that I just lack confidence and I'm actually really good at a lot of things, but lack of confidence makes me overthink too much to the point I can't function.
People don't think introverts are annoying specifically, they think they are annoying generally. So if you're an introvert, don't worry; people don't think you're annoying; they just think your kind is annoying. Don't let anyone know you're an introvert and they'll never judge you as annoying. Crisis averted
I’ve been binging these for a while now since the Irish American one🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was there(literally clicking on that video) for practically every reason you mentioned and I’ve loved your videos every since! Keep gettin on em’🤣🤣
This is scary accurate. Feeling like I'm the first person to ever think of something, replaying awkward social encounters at night, feeling important because I don't follow the herd and can forge a new path, it's all there. It also meshes really well with the Gen X mantra: I don't want to be on a team, just get out of my way and let me do it.
Jesus, mate you are worse than me, i go out time to time , are you Japanese or something they are extreme over there. Unfortunately I love the semi-hermit lifestyle most don’t understand it, just saving to buy a cabin jk gonna buy a pre frab house and have a paper house like the Americans😂
I’m glad I’ve grown past the point of believing I’m secretly everyone’s whipping boy. Now I realize they’d have to care about the boy-in some negative fashion-to actually pay attention to him. The only time I get social attention is when I do something that inconveniences another person, no matter if I’m helping someone else; even in online spaces in which the perturbation is only a few lines of text on the screen viewed while mindlessly scrolling. I know I’m not alone in this: I wish those loud and stupid types were half as withdrawn as I am and I wish I was half as assertive as those types are. (You’re cool loud and intelligent/passionate people)
That last point is important -- we all worry about what people think about us at any given time, but the sad, freeing reality is that nearly everyone yoy worry thinks badly of you doesn't think of you at all, except perhaps in passing or as part of a fleeting memory of their own that you'll never know. Be free, fellow sufferers of paralytic social anxiety, worriers of legend all. You are free to live your own life.
At the time of reading this, it was an inspiring message. Within 20 seconds the brain shaped it into a damning condemnation. It looked like a way out, but this is not an exit.
idk why but this advice never worked for me. the idea i'd be judged for even a second was too upsetting to me. i've gotten better because of spite, exhaustion with being anxious, adhd meds, probably turning 21, and a general realization "god i fucking hate you people none of us know shit why should i care what you think". still have more room to improve but we getting there boys
@hel2727 yhe two go hand in hand whether you want to admit it or not. I became an introvert because of social anxiety and many others too. People aren't supposed to be alone.
I have a lot of introverted tendencies but I can’t stand it when people make it their entire identity to excuse anything they don’t like doing. Avoiding growth, avoiding healthy forms of communication, or just being a complete asshole.
"rather than listen to you waffle on about how Fred Again has done more for modern culture than Banksy" this is five star cross generational sarcastic commentary. Ps. The correct answer is Mike Skinner.
I'd like to think of myself as a relatively harmless house cat who has read Wuthering Heights. Quite presumptupus on your part to think I'm an Oscar Wilde fan. 'Now will tuh be ganging???'
I'm so introverted I began to overthink the contents of this video while watching this video and also the content of this very comment oh no this is weird now isn't it my comment is so weird what have I done I knew I shouldn't have written that I'm going to read a book and ponder on the existence of bathroom pump systems
I’m sorry, but if you want to be less awkward, less cringe, less scared make yourself HEARD!!! You actually don’t have a choice if you want to be less paranoid about literally everything in life. If you don’t like something, say it, who cares about what other people think ? At least you have the bullocks to point it out ffs. I might be a bit harsh, but I feel like introverts have an extremely low self esteem and prefer to suffer in silence instead of growing a pair of balls (or ovaries) and face their struggles and problems, why ??? Not every introvert of course, but you get my point. So, stop being scared for everything and just say what you want to say and I can guarantee you, you WILL feel a lot better if you open yourself up, like a blossoming flower :) So go outside, be vulnerable and even if people deceive or injure you, don’t close yourself completely or else you’ll be sad your whole life. For those who had the patience to read that stuff, congrats! Have a good night dear introverts, take care and don’t be too afraid, ok ?
A lot of people are contraverts, who claim to be extroverted around introverts and introverted when around extroverts because they are just bad conversationalists who hate being quiet, despite a meager understanding of latinized English. I made that up. Pseudopsychology is fun.
i believed you until "latinized English" - what does that even mean??? are you just throwing random latin words into english??? "yo i'm feeling pretty homunculus today"
On my end I'm more afraid of what damage I could do if anything about my few and far between actions had any impact on anyone at all than what others think of me, although that's also pretty prominent in my mind
I get a lot out of going on nature walks and doing mindfulness meditation, I use a book called 30 Days to Reduce Anxiety by Harper Daniels, it helped me relax as an introvert :)
The way to deal with introversion is the same way to deal with anxiety: Depression. You can't feel shame about your behaviour when you don't care about yourself. Likewise, you can't be anxious about stuff when you don't care about anything. Depression! It cures all that ails you!
