@@stormbreaker82 my friend group changed after I had a big argument with my original one. I went from the quiet nerds to the more popular kids. Quite fast, I became more like them and I wanted to know more people. Cos most of my friends knew other people, I wanted to do the same. Now I can go up to people and make friends rlly easily. You become like the people you hang out with, so pick your friends wisely Edit: I’m not saying ditch your old friends to become more popular. I’m just saying, if you get one new friend who is an extrovert, then slowly (or quickly) you will start mirroring them and meeting new people. Also, I find having a ‘dont really care’ attitude helps alot
Darn and this hit me hard again coz it's the truth. Seriously, other people can't understand sometimes that not everyone can be so freakin' SPONTANEOUS. I want to, but my introvert a** can't.
Introvert here. So yea, it is the worst. Sometimes I take it to just end it quickly, or maybe there is actually something useful to hear. I have quite an extroverted friend of 15-16 years. And oh boy, the random unexpected calls comes.when I clearly state, text me. So I can prepare for the silence I bring in awkwardly.
So accurate and true. I've talked to people about calling someone that they really need to talk to, for health reasons but hadn't yet. They didn't admit it but they were too busy to prepare "emotionally" for the call
I remember my teacher made us do a mock cold call for a class project to help us students get over the fear of it. I have been more confident ever since. I love her for it.
Introverts aren't afraid of socialization. We just don't like doing it. Some become introverted out of necessity for their job or because they end up offending people unintentionally. For me, i think it's because I have a tendency to offend people unintentionally. So, I just don't want to have to deal with it anymore.
I can relate I have a birthday party to go to from a week from now and I'm picking out my clothes trying my makeup exactly what I want it to look and practicing how conversations can go in my head. I guess that's what social anxiety feels like
Not just strangers. Family members, friends, bosses. Especially if it’s unexpected or they want to talk about nothing or if they want to talk about something. 😢Anybody over anything really😅
For some reason I am exactly like This when it comes to The Phone “like making DR appointments and such” but if I am Just passing by The office and go in and make The appointment in person it’s not A big deal at all😂
