Being an Introvert is a Good Thing. | Crystal Robello | TEDxStMaryCSSchool

Introverts mostly act like an extrovert towards other introverts.

[@ssendagiremuhammad503]

Very true 😀

[@anctx]

True story 😂😂

[@jennychiem5807]

So true!

[@Trinitas666]

True. But generally speaking, I'm a lot more talkative 1 on 1. I just really had conversations in large groups because you always end up with 2-3 loud people dominating the conversation and then I just stop participating because it's annoying and I really have no interest in fighting over attention.

The reason I searched and came for this video because I felt my insecurity is I'm an "INTROVERT"! Today, i went to hospital to greet my sick uncle with my mom. There, there are my lots of relatives were there, they're talking, sharing their talks openly and freely. And I can't even able to tell my name. I become very tense, nervous, insecure, frightened! My mom's telling that I should be open n an extrovert to be in this soceity! But, i just can't!!

[@K1989L]

It's because you are comfortable around them. Do you also go silent in a group that has a lot of new people? I think it also shows in inviting people to your home. An Introvert is unlikely to invite someone who they don't know well to his/her home. Say.. it's the first day of in a new school.. who is going to invite all classmates to his/her house and have a party? An Extrovert. Introvert only invites those who he/she feels comfortable around. My house is my castle.

[@lakatoskilimandzsaro]

I feel so lonely in my class, I can't fit in. Sometimes I try interacting, then it gets awkward, other times I don't give a damn but I still want to be a part of it because I'm a team-player but at the same time can't communicate. It's so stressful. I'm so alone there.

[@goroakechi1068]

Kilimandzsáró Lakatos Oh my, I know what it feels like. I'm going to get a little personal here, I remember back in middle I wasn't able to talk to girls and make that many friends when I got super depressed. A lot of the people I've met in high-school so far don't know how to be good friends and try to help someone in need when they need it. (I'm actually a senior) I honestly don't feel at place, I feel like an interloper, a puzzle piece that just doesn't fit with the other. I have made a lot of progress since middle school with my communication skills, I still continue to try my best to improve on my flaws. Recently I have been turned down by someone, but that's another story I can tell the next time. The point is, hang in there. There's good people out there as well, just like how there's shit people there will always be amazing people out there as well, that's something I like to think. I honestly do hope this comment helped you in any way.

[@goroakechi1068]

Kilimandzsáró Lakatos loneliness is horrible, I remember I cried on one of my friends when I was feeling really sad and lonely. She hugged me and we spent more time together. She's someone who knows how to be a good friend, I need to learn to my end as well. You have to be patient as well, there's no rush. It feels like torture to be lonely, but I can give to you a recommendation that helps me get by. I really recommend to read, write, and draw a sketch. I know it sounds childish but these things are valuable things that are always great to practice, it's something I can say helps a lot.

[@lakatoskilimandzsaro]

Leo of Nohr Thank you very much for writing me back about this:) Although I'm not really good at drawing and stuff, I will try what you said and keep going. I believe when I finish high school, maybe there will be people (at university perhaps) whom I'm more "compatible" with. I hope. Anyway, thanks for cheering me up! And I wish the best of bests to you as well, my friend!! :)

[@goroakechi1068]

Yeah I'm an amateur at drawing. But it's definitely a good distraction and it's good to be kept busy with something to do for fun. Heh, I'm really glad I could help. By the way you can always message me and we can be friends as well. I might be some guy from the Internet, but that shouldn't stop anything. In fact the Internet brings people together like with how we're able to communicate right now. :D

Idk, being bullied isn't a problem since all you have to do is fight back and if you don't fight back then that isn't being an introvert its being a coward . Pretty sure all of that is depression but don't quote me on this. Maybe it's just me but I believe being introverted is not wanting to say anything because you don't need or have to say something people would always ask me why I'm so quiet but it's just because I have nothing to say. Being introverted doesn't mean being shy although it's close to that. EDIT: Either you have Social Anxiety or Depression but am not a doctor so don't take my word for it .

Like sometimes she’ll tell me “why are you so shy?” And I respond with “mom I’m an introvert remember?” But I tried my best to explain to her what it’s like being in introvert although she still doesn’t really understand. Although my dad is an introvert and he understands how I feel although I used to think he was an extrovert because he seems very social when we go to parties. I am not sure. But anyways I wish you good luck with explaining how you feel to your parents. And you’re not the only one who feels like this. :) I felt I needed to change so many times. I ask myself “why am I so shy?” And “why can’t I just talk to them (my classmates)”

Well done. As an introvert now in my later 20s, I'd like to point out to any younger viewers (i.e. high school and before) that you should be proud. Even if certain people frown upon your 'shyness' now, they're ignorant, and you'll meet many more people in the future that will value your thoughtfulness and compassion. You can be both shy and quietly confident at the same time.

[@elizabethwalker3344]

Davy OD Yeah I hate when people are like "Are you shy?" or "Why don't you talk?" or even "You should talk more." Note: These are all things people have literally said to me. One guy at my work (a real social butterfly) told me to just talk. Like he's SOME SORT OF FLIPPING EXPERT??! Maybe on talking--NOT on introverts! But whatever he's just a teen so I get it he doesn't know he's doing something wrong.

Gerry C Introverts have great potential. They will work hard to get what they want like other people but will usually not participate in unnecessary and mindless social talks. They like to have a small group of friends they can talk to instead of hundreds of fake friends. They find happiness with other things. They can socialize if they want but they simply choose not to usually with strangers when it's not required. It's not like they can't. Most people just follow the crowd without thinking if what they are doing is right or if they actually want to do it. It's sad how misunderstood introverts are.

being an introvert is seen as a problem at school. My effort grades are usually very good or good in the subjects that im not confident in because i don't really participate in class. You are expected to talk well in class, be perfect at presenting presentations without shaking or stuttering, work in groups, etc. When my parents come to school or when they see my written reports they're all about how 'quiet' I am. But what's wrong with that? I never get in trouble, I'm always just average or above average academically. I don't really see myself as an introvert tho. I'm just shy. Really shy.

[@aniyahlawrence8356]

Hanin Abdullah I'm an introvert. Last year( seventh grade) and before, I would always raise my hand answer question, pass tests, have very high grades. But I stopped this year. I moved to a new school. I always wanted to bet my friend Kaila that I could be quiet and not answer questions for a day last year but always failed. This charter school that I'm going to is way more strict than my other one. Now I resort to reading. Never read a lot last year cuz I got to talk, but now I can't. Teachers now always want me to participate more which is funny. But the good thing is that when my math teacher starts calling random ppl to answer a question, he never chooses me because he thinks I know. I never know and is just lucky to not be picked. Unnecessary info lol. Have a great day or night

[@JustASushiMi]

This was an amazing speech! Yes, I am an introvert and I really relate to this video. Being an introvert is not being a shy, non-talkative, or a rude person. No, being an introvert is being creative minded, brilliant, and skilled at reading the actions but also mood of other people. Like also every introvert I am quiet, that can effect how people truly see me in their own light but for me I don't exactly care. I have my circle of close friends and I like it the way it is for an introvert like me. Of course I want to make friends, of course I want to speak my thoughts to other people, and of course I want to be. An extrovert. But I know that changing myself won't do anything for anyone, and I'll never turn into an extrovert. I love every single minute I get of just quiet, it makes me calm and I don't have to deal with the over and over pounding of stress and anxiety. I tend to have an interesting mind on paper though. Drawing and sketching, any of those I love because I can what ever thought that processes in my mind then I can go through it and make it. I come off as a rude person at school though because I don't talk too much. According to one of my close friend she says, "You have a weird vibe to you, I can understand why people would think you're an introvert." Of course she only made a joke and me and her laughed it off but then I started focusing on that sentence. "People think that?" I wasn't a introverted type at all. At least that's what I was thinking. I realized that I don't show emotion at all, it's like when I looked at myself I never realized until that one day. I just get so lost in thought and feelings that I don't even say anything, that's what introverts do. I learned to accept it a while ago and I'm still believing. I think that introverts are amazing people on the inside and out. They are amazing and talented and they can have a variety of different unique ways of showing it. If you're an introvert, thank you for reading this and consider yourself as an extraordinary person. Please, in the future find hope, peace, and love somewhere in your life because you surely will find it. I am a middle schooler and this is my comment speech.

There's a misconception that introverts are shy, afraid to speak up, asocial, ... Those are problems and need to be dealt with. However, those characteristics don't make you an introvert. An introvert can function normally in a society, but they simply don't have the need to be in the center of attention, they don't feel the need to share things about themselves and they don't crave constant social interaction. A healthy introvert can socialize and communicate normally, they simply choose not to more often than an extrovert would.

[@sabsnunisa5602]

[@aurethegoldfish2202]

I believe that an introvert is a person who is able to mingle with others, but 'recharges their battery' when they are alone, unlike extroverts, who recharge their battery by being social. Omniverts are able to do both, though they may have aa preference.

[@sabsnunisa5602]

@@petepersimmons7938 they say there is a misconception of an introvert of being shy fear of speech social phobia etc, actually NO there is no misconception Introverts are really shy . Introverts don't like small talks but they also talk or like to have A meaningful conversation with 1 or 2 people not more then that. They don't like getting bothered nor they like to bother others. They stay in their own world doing their own favorite stuffs....if they are being dragged to a party they will always find themselves alone there no matter if there are 100 people surrounded. If introverts like to do party also they will choose only 1 person to enjoy that's it. They are very selective to people. An opposite person doesn't need to be an introvert to be friends with. But the vibes does. Introverts prefer only those who has a good manners, a person who can understand them dont make fun of them because introverts are really different they are complete reserved person . If you think that you can't date introverts then yes u can date but as like I say they don't trust people that easily so it will take time to work at first but once they finally accepted you then there is no way they will abandon you. Go slow with them they will test your patience level. Hence they are trustworthy ,loyal, they dont like gossips, you can complete rely on them when you are sad or need to talk your difficulties they are always there to listen to from their favt.person. Once you break their trust then there is no way they will forget it. They might forgive you but those deeds will keep on reminding them to not forget. As they choose their surrounding very limited so each person are very valuable to them.

But then I realised I have nothing to be ashamed of because introversion made me who I am, it's made me more intelligent than I would have been (not to say extroverts are below par in intelligence, my brother is certainly an example of that) and I wouldn't have myself any other way than I am now.

There is no such thing as strictly introverted or extroverted people its just a matter of what situtaion and whom you are speaking with will determine how you will react. Everyone is introverted in some situtaions and extroverted in others. ITS CALLED BEING HUMAN PEOPLE. Only with practice of self-love can you develop the confidence to allow you to become less shy in front of people and also help you decrease the need to be the center of attention and so oblivously happy all the time. The reality is everyone gets sad and depressed but everyone also gets super excited and exentric at times. Just live your life and know what ever you are feeling right now will pass and in 5-10yrs from now you will laugh about the feelings your having and acutally be proud to speak about it becuase you will have overcome it. Just remember to have loving conversations with your internal thoughts and question WHY you think the way you think and "am I upholding my values?"

Watching this amazing talk and reading the comments make me finally realize that I'm an introvert. as a child, I was so active, energetic and talkative, but growing up, I gradually see myself so lonely. there was a time that I had nothing to say, it seemed awkward around everyone, even with my best friends and my family... I had no idea what was wrong with me, and when it became so silent and awkward I said silly things, just asked a question so many times and tried to make sounds to drown out. Sometimes I think talking is the hardest thing in the world... But recently, I've found out that all I need to do is being myself, say what I think ( not make up sth to avoid silence), just being comfortable with my true feelings and my head will feel lighter. Along with being an introvert, I'm kind of a person who think a lot and easily get negative feelings: I can be mean, jealous, arrogant even though I want to smile and happy. As a monitor in my class, I feel depressed often, at first they all didn't listen to me, and now after 5 months, they do, just because they have to, and I've struggled a lot but we can't really get along, can't tease each other and I feel like I'm not cut out for this position, I'm afraid I'm not good enough (in both study or personality). there are other girls better than me: they're prettier, richer, dynamic and don't think as much as me. All I have is a responsibility and high scores, though recently not like that. I don't hate being an introvert as it helps me meet good friends, and know myself clearly, but I hate the fact that I can't stop thinking, worrying, being anxious and not confident to show what I got, which resulted in me being angry and upset because others take that chance .......
