@r.babylon2885 10 лет назад

This reminds me of work. People believed me to be depressed and antisocial because I'm quiet, but because I always had the best ideas, everyone comes to me. Unfortunately, because of my demeanor, I've been passed on two promotions. Instead, extroverted people with perky behavior have been elected. I trained them for their positions and both of them still come to me for ideas and help in their leadership roles. I took on the task of mimicking extroverted people at work so I might get a promotion. Sadly, now the higher ups think I'm weird. Just can't win.

introverts also have a tendency to desire an intelligent conversation with one or two people, (no more, because then it becomes a head ache) so if you ever want to talk to introvert, please approach with something worth thinking about. btw, im not mad, im thinking.

@gavinstarks2761 6 лет назад

free00to00ryhme I'm an extrovert and I enjoy intelligent conversations and debate immensely. Most kids get mad when I use words such as intelligent or analytical. They tell me I'm too smart but I think people just use too small of words today. Lit, hella, shook... they just don't seem grammticaly correct. So people ever tell you that you say too big of words? I don't think I do.

@@gavinstarks2761 typical extrovert with your emotional knee jerk reaction to your predisposed assumption that something was directed against you specifically. Not sure where you went with that comment but big words isn’t a sign of intelligence on its own. Anyone can spend time learning new words in a dictionary that isn’t used by commoners. You must be in middle school or starting out in high school when you wrote that comment to think that intelligent and analytical are big, uncommon words. Please point out to me in my original comment where I made any insinuation that extroverts don’t enjoy meaningful conversation and debate. You looked way too deeply into my comment and your insecurities came bubbling to the surface. I admire your pursuit of a higher thinking mind, but you’ll always fall sort if you allow your emotions to overcome your forbearance and lead the articulation of your interpretations, precepts, and judgements.

@ElectrifyMySoull 10 лет назад

Samuel RF That's not ADD. Lack of interests isn't a lack of attention which is what ADD is.. Attention Deficit Disorder. It's the inability to stay focused on one thing without your mind wondering to another. I have ADD and it's been quite the struggle all my life. Our schools are catered to the children without ADD and therefore make us who have it, struggle and suffer with the idea we're 'too stupid' or 'lazy'. All false judgments, however, I've learned to live with it though and found myself a great career that allows me to be.. me =). I'm a voice actor =). I love every minute of it and I get to put all my jumping thoughts and add them to my characters.

@Kevin15047 10 лет назад

@Dowlphin 10 лет назад

Based on this, I'd say introverts are good leaders for introverts, and extroverts are good leaders for extroverts. But it also means that extrovert leaders are good at keeping everything as it is and have an easy time doing that, while introverts are trying to improve things for everybody and have a difficult time. Basically the same dynamic that you get in all affairs of 'mediocre mainstream'. This I-E distinction is becoming quite the explosive matter, because it implies that introversion is the smarter way which yields new insights and understanding necessary for envisioning and then shaping a better world. Because of that: I realize the distinction is useful for illustration and clarification, but I prefer to see it not as an either-or, but as a scale. You're not so much looking at two different things as looking at the same concept from two sides. Still, it seems I'm quite introverted, and that, combined with experience, also makes me see how extroverts tick. Apparently people often *allow* themselves to be easily distracted because they are afraid of looking inside, of listening to the inner voice/silence, because it is too painful for them. Not sure whether it's defining for the whole extreme of the scale, but extroverted behavior can be a desire for external distraction from internal issues. Related to that, I also don't believe that saying about acoustically isolated chambers driving people crazy. I think this only happens to people who can't stand to be alone with themselves. Bottom line: Yeah, I got awesome qualities, but in a very extroverted social environment it's usually not received well.

@pieceofpeace35 11 лет назад

The short answer to that is yes because it describes me very well. :) Sometimes I'm very loud and I seem like an extrovert because I'll talk to everyone in the room and be a big part of the party. But after a day or 2 of going places with friends or being social I NEED some alone time with myself. (Like I even shut my family out of my brain.) That's when I'm reminded how much of an introvert I truly am because of how re-energized and focused I feel after being alone. Hope that helped. :)

The group ended up getting an A+ for the project but I had forgotten to put my name on it :(

Being an introvert really does makes me feel to strive on focusing one thing at a time, but also it makes me feel distracted. That's why I usually get away from being into social groups and start living in my solitude. And motivations are essential too like hearing music and other things.

@tesla_autopilot 10 лет назад

As an introvert, I spend half of the school period shushing my friends and telling them to stay on task. I love anticipating the future, and I am not so well at group tasks. I always like to go solo, and I share my ideas with those who can understand the ideas (I am 5 grades above my grade level), because most people think I'm boring. I also enforce diplomacy, and I have sent letters to the President about ideas to solve issues in the American society. I accept and recognize my "introvertiness"!

It's not that you're too weak to assert yourself, you're weak because you don't assert yourself. To find strength you must actually search for it, which requires effort. In time, given the opportunity, you'll find your bravery to assert your voice and lead based on the building blocks of reason as opposed to the flames of passion.

I've always been a thinker, I love being with myself and when going out I often prefer to be on my own, even when I go out with a group of friends, I go my own directions.....when on the road I see someone I know and if I find it possible I avoid the greeting, is there a test to take?

@WCephei77HD 8 лет назад

Amy Tat I'm guessing it's correct that I might be a bit of an ambivert, although I love the idea of being an introvert and I feel mostly identified as such. Yes, at the cafe or club... good question to serve as an example... I like meeting and interacting with a lot of people but at the same time I tend to keep it rather short and look around for ways of escape when I get stuck with people who are too good at talking, unless of course I feel interested in the topic... Yes I like watching around and thinking but I also love being funny when I'm comfortable and making people laugh, I'm sometimes good at that. Depending on the situation yes, I would stick to the small group in the busy atmosphere but I guess I prefer variety and being on my own wandering around is awesome.

I agree. Thinking time especially is bad for me more often than not, because if I get too much time to think, I can't stop thinking, then I forget what I was trying to think about in the first place, but then I've drained myself mentally from so much thinking that I have to take a nap or something. xD At the same time, most of my best thoughts and ideas do surface when I think things through, so...double edged sword I suppose.

I don't know about that. When I get focused, you could call my name for a minute or two, but I won't notice you. However, it is simplistic to use this thinking paradigm of people as either introvert or extrovert. We all have some combination of the two "pure" personality types. You can be a strong introvert or a strong extrovert, but you can also be that happy medium of being only slight more introverted/extroverted than extroverted/introverted.

@DougGCMweb 11 лет назад

[2/2] My advice: take care of yourself at camp. Extroverted activity can be really draining for someone who's more introverted. Don't necessarily avoid the group activities, but get some serious alone time each day - maybe to start and end each day - to recharge, so to speak. Read, journal, pray, nap, whatever you need to do. Know yourself and take care of yourself. That's my advice. From one introvert to another. :)

@thefool5999 11 лет назад

It's been said that being "shy" isn't actually the same thing as been in introvert. An introvert isn't fearful of social situations, but they feel drained by them. An extrovert on the other hand feels energized by social interaction. A shy person feels anxiety about social interactions. It's actually possible to be an extrovert and shy (from what I've heard) which obviously causes significant problems.

I think I am a weird mixture of both. I get distracted easily but when its something I love to do no one can distract me, even a good friend.

Finding things like this actually make me really sorry for trying to change who I am to gain more acceptance... Right now I feel like an in-between with no benefits whatsoever.
