Introvert vs. Extrovert Conversation

[@NikorasuChan]

ENTJ... And I have experimented this through my real life introspective... At times, I can be extremely quiet and shy, but at the other times, I can be very confident and not shy at all when meeting people. However, as I am more oriented towards goal and purpose, I only gets energized when whatever I am doing is according to what I want (AKA teamwork and my dream). So it all really depends on the timing of when you met me. So here's a point: Depending on what kind of extrovert you are, you are energized by different kind of external world stimulation, and the same could be applied towards introverts. They can appear extroverted, but when energized by their favourite thoughts, they can spend time with it.

[@khephren6628]

Another proud introvert here! And I love it. I love the beauty of solitude, I wake up really early on school days and weekends just to be awake by myself! It's a shame we're looked down upon. It's such a great life and I see nothing wrong with it.

[@Sinesgaitz]

Understanding each other's side is not about intro/extroversion, it's about brain. Some of my best friends are really extroverted, and they understand my personality as well as we can talk about interesting things for hours. On the other side, I know a lot of brainless people at my college, no matter each one of them tends more to extroversion or introversion, they both can't understand how others think different to them. That's the kind of people that everyone who prefer to choose their friends should avoid as they only provide toxicity to your life, being unable to make a simple excercise of empathy when you "dare" to not agree them.

[@Ty98ink]

Same here except I'm the extrovert with introvert best buddies. I absolutely agree that there are toxic vs non toxic and it has nothing to do with introvert vs extrovert. This video is false in making it seem like extroverts bash introverts.

[@ahz1993]

Thank you to whoever made this. :)

[@simpbeforeusleep]

the thing is, if an introvert really is your friend, then you shouldn't need constant reminders. don't allow your insecurities to get the better of you.

[@YKSoul]

I recently noticed that I feel all positive and joyful after I had a rush of imagination earlier during the day. I feel down when there is nothing to think about and when I have to constrain my imagination. I salivate with imagery of possibilities

[@StarGyrl]

Proud introvert here! I like being an introvert, the best aspect about it is being comfortable with who you are and soaking up that "me time". Unlike extroverts who bounce off other people's energy, need to be the centre of attention and relish socialisation.

[@VapeTime79]

OMG I get that "are you depressed" shit lol

[@danaavu]

Personally as an extrovert the clubbing and partying bit in this irks me, just like introverts aren't antisocial, extroverts aren't partying their lives away. Otherwise, this was super cute to watch and hope someone finds it useful.

[@katehartwell5729]

Being an introvert for me means that leaving my room is an occasion for my parents. They think I'm just depressed or something.

[@jakegamesnake]

They are secure and confident, not to mention bold, assertive, and energetic.

[@zochbuppet448]

"I'm going to go clubbing now" ...to cheezy house music that was originally started with introvert types, alone in a studio

[@BValencia117]

Wow great job! I am an introvert as well and can relate to all the details and even learned a bit more from this video. I hate it when I am the person at the party standing around observing everything and feeling like the stuck up one when I am not. I am just focused in on my surroundings. . .

[@crawlersilverwind]

Very good explanation...this video is a keeper.

[@mmarioivann]

Indeed it is impossible and wrong to generalize, but at least from my experience and other introverted friends, we had had a hard time sometimes because of some of those prejudice descriptions the extrovert stereotype mentioned.

[@dgdaner]

I feel like this video is a less than optimal way to get the points across. Many other good vids about this on youtube

[@BerdugongPipi]

It really feels good to be alone. when im alone it is very peaceful, no arguments, im always right that way i feel so good. it is all about my ideas, my thoughts my thinking. when im alone im very powerful, im the most powerful human being.

[@weiwang2479]

That was great. Thanks. I like myself more.

[@starswater]

The text to speech in this is as terrible as it always is, but this is kind of charming hahaha. I already know I am an introvert, and I'm happy with it.

[@simpbeforeusleep]

You just only say something when you feel there's something worthwhile to say. sounds like something Treebeard would say

[@EricSchwin22]

The extrovert in this video has to be one of the nicest extroverts ever...he actually listens and learns why he is an introvert, and didn't judge him harshley at the end of the video or make fun of him.

[@FabulousFrostine]

The exact same thing happened to me while I was in school. I don't usually talk if I don't have anything of importance to say to someone. Other people in my school didn't understand that. I wasn't shy, or depressed, or antisocial, I just didn't feel like talking. I actually came to embrace being the "quiet girl" because it was just who I was and I knew that I didn't want to change that.

[@trinidreamer85]

As an introvert I say thank you, you explained this far better than I ever could!

[@mochawitch]

finally, someone gets it.

[@BrianKimnet]

@Gapperbone Thanks for the kind words! They are much appreciated.

[@chilla523]

also id like to say if ur an introvert dont let those questions like why are you so quiet get to you.trust me..you dont want to give them that power..ull only feel like a fool in the end...be proud that ur different and not like everyone else...you just see things on a more deeper and intellectual level..god bless you and remember your a genious

[@sistersgrimmfangirl]

So true. We aren't shy. We just don't want to join in on the topics that others are discussing. We can get interested and talk if we want but it helps if the group is small and the conversation is deep. Were as extraverts would like to have small talk with a large group about what was on tv last night we prefer to discuss topics like the meaning of life or just stand back and listen quietly as we take it all in. There is nothing wrong with being an introvert even if people seem to think so.

[@peppergirl47]

Wow, their voices are so automated that it's funny XD

[@BrianKimnet]

@EricSchwin22 Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you've learned a lot. I think more and more people need to learn about this and that only good can come from it.

[@emperoraugustus62]

which is vital for establishing some networking experience that may help you in a job or help solve a problem.

[@AussieRaver1996]

Wow, I like those quotes. I'm going to promise my self from now on, that every opportunity that passes by which involves a social gathering like going places with friends, etc. I will force my self to say yes, and see where it takes me. Lets hope things change for the better.

[@2004dale]

Omg haha I freaking love this clip. The tone in which the bears speak is hilarious I'm liking this vid for that reason and favouring it for its info.

[@chonenjuanpi]

I really wish extroverts were that comprehensive and willing to listen. I tried to explain this to an extrovert friend and he said I was antisocial.

[@UnlimitlesslyFunnyDude]

its so amazing that introverts are programmed like this

[@HappyHills1011]

Nothing is stopping extroverts either.

[@BrianKimnet]

@sparksfly76 You're very welcome! I'm glad it was able to help articulate that something within you that you knew was different.

[@easton462]

I'm not judging anyone, nor do I really care. Just a typical observation. No need to get defensive.

[@roadtriiip]

I think I'm an odd, morphed, weird mix of an Introvert and Extrovert. I *love* having energetics talks with my friends and I love going places with my friends, but I can get very hyper around people who are willing to go on an adventure or a roadtrip. But I also love having interesting and engaging convorsations with my friends as well. At one minute I might me happy and exited! But then the next I might be down and wanting to be alone for a while.

[@netriosilver]

That's called being human

[@FabulousFrostine]

Thank you! Most people don't understand the feeling of not needing to say something unless it's worthwhile. :)

[@fireswan]

This is a great way to show others what introverts are like. Sure as someone said before you can go and practice and you probably should, but in stressful situations introverts like me probably find it best to read a book or play a video game instead blowing off steam at a party.

[@puregirl22]

I'm an introvert and I love being around people. I just feel uncomfortable being asked something on the spot in a group discussion since it's like giving a presentation, which is the worse. Interaction is awesome! I get my energy from both! And I love both introverts and extroverts. I love introverts because of the love, kindness, calmness, and warmth. I love extroverts because of the love, excitement, and enthusiasm.

[@Klara9]

Very nice little video that finally explains a few things! I completely understand the introvert character. I think I am a kind of socialized introvert. :P When I once did a Big Five personality test, it said I was exactly in the middle between extroverted and introverted - which might seem strange, but it´s possible. To me it made sense anyway, because I know that´s how I am.

[@BrianKimnet]

@natalieeepaigeee You're very welcome! I'm glad the video was able to help.

[@oscardelarosapineda]

coming from an introvert this is so true..it wasn't until i got older and realize that i was normal and there was nothing wrong with me

[@BrianKimnet]

@AppleFaction Yes indeed! Hopefully the conversation all introverts can have with their extrovert friends.

[@paulwritesfights]

cant you find 2 people who can read dialogue?

[@LadyMiah]

Word. :) I experienced that extroverts help introverts to communicate their ideas more often (so they don't fall to deep into their minds), and introverts help extroverts to stop for a sencond to think (so they don't just believe "you get what you see"). Roughly speaking.

[@Kotothebotto]

I'm actually more confused on what I am, I'm the type to not start a conversation but am able to hold it long. I at times don't think of what I want to say, but sometimes take the time to analyze what to say in certain situations like debates. in a small crowd I can at times fall weak, but in a large crowd I can confess things with ease. I don't talk much, and am shy, but when people get to know me it's hard to shut me up(especially in a debate). What am I?

[@Aurouse]

I had to drop my friends because they didn't understand why I liked having so much space. And their constant coming on to me started driving me insane so I ended up doing something to get rid of it. Alone time is the most peaceful experience I ever find. Short conversations make me feel awkward so I tend to leave or retreat into thought most of the time. People think I'm weird and am unhappy but honestly I've never been happier in my life now that I've been left alone at last

[@3TAforever]

when I was younger, before I learned what an introvert was I used to wonder why I used to get anxious when I couldn't get my much needed alone time I thought I was having anxiety attacks.

[@GypsyBackwards]

it sucks most of my classes in highschool are extroverted including the teachers, especially this semester, but no now i'm stuck with all extoverted teachers and i'm falling asleep in my classes because i cannot handle the mindless conversations in the back round when you say "get drained by social situations" i know excatly what you mean, all i do all day is sit at my computer and watch stuff like this and skype with two friends

[@zedooncadhz]

I overcame that by deciding not to push myself and drain my energy by trying to make conversation all the time, like the guy before said, I decided to only say something if I felt I wanted to say it or it was relevant or had a point to it. It takes a great pressure off and has stopped me feeling drained. You still have to push yourself every now and again almost like exercise, its healthy to try and interact a BIT more than you feel like otherwise you might decide not to say anything at all

[@bornonmoon4222]

I like to be moderate. Not introverted or extroverted all the time. As I appreciate solitude very much, partying and hanging out would be cool too.

[@Yogscastfan18]

Then you are ambiverted

[@0xssff]

BornOnMoon ambiverted !!

[@Mehki227]

Wish my mother had seen this when i was a kid. She never understood that I needed to be alone to decompress after being around my noisy family. She would say I was shutting everyone out. Like nothing better than a rainy day and a book.

[@MyKokujin]

i go through this with so many people it just gets to the point especially at work when i just have to say something stupid just so people wont look at me like im crazy and talk this bs to me about depression.

[@morglostick]

I feel that. I'd like to be good at talking with a bunch of people and hanging out, but it gets overwhelming, and I feel like I'm making too many mistakes. Then, it's like, I need to be in my own head to regain my sense of self. It's just hard to click with most extroverts.

[@BrianKimnet]

@sroden1711 I'm glad you enjoyed it! Try it one more time for the whole thing. As ridiculous as it might seem, there's a lot to it if you give it a chance.

[@MrVkirdag]

I see a lot of people getting carried away by these labels. It is through conditioning that we come to create and identify with these labels. So just chill out and enjoy who you are and what you do.

[@LaPersonaNonGrata]

I am an introvert, but I have social anxiety. I am accepting the fact that I am an introvert, and that being an introvert has many advantages; but because I have this social anxiety that won't go away, I feel as I am missing out on the few times us introverts like to be sociable.

[@oliverstratton1794]

Is there somewhere I can download it?

[@TekkenDude08]

There is no irony. As a personality trait, extroverts benefit more from society. There is nothing more to it than that.

[@AppleFaction]

what an intelligent conversation between two freinds

[@multikyari]

great video!!! i'm an extrovert according to my Jungian code type but I find I also need time to myself.I think within us..there are both extroverted and introverted tendencies..it just depends on which side you lean more to...thanks for uploading the video..you did a good job educating society..

[@SpiderMan-ni8ek]

Where does your extreme hate of extroverts come from? Extroverts doesn't want to spend time alone? Where the heck are you getting this from? You'd think an introvert would try to think more before judging others.

[@woodfur00]

Did you even watch the video? Introverts don't hate anyone, we just work better on our own. We don't like to have to depend on other people, and having time to ourselves helps us think.

[@SWAGSecretlyWeAreGay]

@grungekitty77(Google Plus took away the reply button) This is what the awareness is for, to let you know that we don't hate you and to let you know that we deserve our recharge time to be alone just as much as you deserve your recharge time to socialize with your many friends. Do not feel that you did something wrong and do not expect us to run to you when you miss us because that is just as hurtful as it may seem to you that we push you away.

[@BrianKimnet]

@toneyrush Hopefully you've already had the conversation or will :)

[@DrTranofEvil]

Introvert here. I agree, a little socializing is pretty nice, but I really like to have breaks in between and I am pretty happy being alone (although too much time alone and I get a little strange, so I like having SOME interaction). I used to think extroverts were obnoxious, but I came to understand that there really isn't anything wrong with either. They just enjoy company more than I do, and I'm not an island, so I can't really pass judgment. Great video. :-)

[@metairalfy7514]

I love the way they designed the characters. It makes sense that they're talking about swagg and all the other "notice me" shit. I also loved the explanation, I couldn't have done it better myself.

[@davlor86]

i really hate it when people tell me i'm shy just because i dont talk too much. Actually i consider myself way more confident than many extrovert people i know, when i talk in public i do it very well, the only thing i don't like is socializing that much with people, being loud or talking about or making stupid things all the time. I just prefer being alone and talk when i'm really going to say something funny or intelligent.

[@TitantheWise]

Oh, wow this opened my eyes.

[@enchiladaplatter1]

@sroden1711 how could you type such a message as an introvert? I don't get it. Is socializing only draining in person? You seem pretty happy with talking about a puppet video, wheres the puppet video. who decides who is introvert and extrovert anyway.

[@ThisandThat642]

very well put together

[@bose8270]

Obi-Wan said that because he knew what Anakin was going to do, because he did the same against Darth Maul. If you watch the scene, Anakin was going to land in front of Obi-Wan just as Obi-Wan landed in front of Maul. But Obi-Wan learned from Maul's mistake and sliced Anakin before he could land.

[@gierk27]

This video is spot on. If we all could learn the dfferences between the two, we would understand each other better. The funny thing is, I bet the people who actually took the time out to search for a video like this are prob INT. EXT are too busy talking to all 5000 of their "friends" on FB... I laughed at the end when he said, go and tell your other extroverted friends as the chances of them learning about introversion or even knowing what it is, is slim to none.

[@alexisecstatic]

I feel understood. More people should see this!

[@LadyMiah]

People who can't speak their minds are shy. Shyness is fear. Being introvert is not being shy. Introvert gain energy by (at times, not all the time) being alone to be in their minds (explore, read, draw). Extrovert gain energy from everything around them. Eg. in a company, it's not uncommon that the higher bosses are introverts taking long-term and sustainable decisions, while managers could be extroverts taking short-term decisions and delegating work on the spot. Both are awesome! :D

[@hunglikehuang]

Also there may be some benefit to the extrovert's advice to get you to go out to socialize more. The way to have more energizing socializations is to PRACTICE. When you practice, you can develop ways to connect with people easier. To just say oh I'm introverted because that's just the way I am so I don' t need to go out to socialize is a cop-out.

[@TheUberman666]

He was extremely expressed, he vocalized his Ideas(writing about them in "Mein Kampf"), and for common sense he was great orator for damn reason you would have to be very good with people to pull that off, also when you study his behavior around people he adapted to people very well showing that he was like a social butterfly, source nor source just research(History Channel, Internet, Neo-Nazi websites, psychological profiles by governments) that helped.

[@Unlimitedmike410]

I understand buddy. However, the way we feel about ourselves is much more important than how others think or feel about us. Sure it's nice to have support or acceptance, but even with everyone accepting or supporting us, it means nothing if deep down we do not support ourselves. Just be happy and if you're not happy do whatever is necessary to feel that way.

[@raea3588]

There is a difference between social anxiety and being an introvert. Some introverts, like myself and maybe you, have social anxiety because we feel presured to be like everyone around us who can be more outgoing, make small talk. You can learn these skills and use them when you are socializing. But you should want them because it's easier to communicate in different social situations not because you think you should change who you are. People will tell you who you are until you tell yourself!

[@DafneMarchesan]

I feel you. Sometimes I think I'll never find someone because no man seems to be interested in deep conversations -.-

[@StrivingSinner]

If I were overtly emotional I'd cry for what I just saw. I like being introverted. But as I grow and continue to listen to those who also continue to grow, I learn more about standing out, just as this little guy did. Seems like the only time when the extroverts listen is when their down in the dumps. Well, from the extro-people I've encountered, anyway. Not saying they all don't listen. But, there does come a time when they do, and it seems to come from a emotional experience on their part.

[@curmosc]

Good luck getting an extravert to listen like this one did.

[@DRNEGOLICIS]

i do the same thing its normal, i like my own little world, being so disconnected is awesome, i have friends that are to connected to society and make them selves sick with stress

[@babo85]

Well.. I kinda understand.. My tactic is timing. I Think I have a good sense of timing, so when in a group, I make a joke, which brings the attention to me, and usually there's someone who takes the joke a step further, so I can sit back and observe again. This way I'm able to control when the attention is directed to me, so it doesn't feel like a presentation. and at the same time, it's amazing to see what people can do with your joke!

[@Stop2smellroses]

I'm an introvert, and enjoy my relationships with other introverts most.

[@BeautifulDidem]

I am highly misunderstood too, it is really hard to deal with for the long term.

[@Big30MasterShake]

this really hit me where i live

[@dubst5p]

Yeah if there is stuff constantly going on that catches my attention then I'm all for it. Stuff that I actually feel noticed or apart of. Once I get bored, though, I just start thinking "I could be playing on the internet right now" lol

[@123blueapple]

I'm an introvert and I have never been ashamed of it. If tell people that I am happier on my own or with a small group of close friends they always look at me like I'm an idiot or like there is something wrong with me. I don't judge them for extroverted, so stop judging me for being confident with who I am.

[@brodersami]

@emperor0013 I personally think the commercialization of home computers is one of the biggest advancements in civilization in recent times. He might not have come up with the theory of general/special relativity but no doubt he has influenced the world in ways we can not even begin to imagine.

[@UmbrArcanum]

I agree, but I'd like to illuminate a portion of your comment regarding the shy extroverts and confident introverts for a moment. C. G. Jung once stated, "There is no such thing as a pure introvert or extrovert. Such a person would be in the lunatic asylum."... Now, a lot of people don't realize this and define each disposition as absolute. I somewhat subscribe to Jung's notion as well. The proclivities of being introverted or extroverted work on a spectrum, rather than individual points.

[@TekkenDude08]

@Sood81 Hmm no, not too much. What I have is perspective, something you clearly don't have if you can't side the extrovert side of it.

[@bamboozled5672]

OK, I understand. I'm introverted and have social anxiety as well. I'm just saying that you shouldn't have to try to be something that you are not because of social pressures. I'm suggesting that we be authentic. Keep on reaching for your goals, that's good, but I'm saying don't give up on who you really are....because there is nothing wrong with that. cheers!

[@fallenmidnightstar]

I can read a thousand page book in less then 8 hours can you?

[@Lov3IsTheOnlyWay]

These sort of topics interest me , hwow it feels good to put things in the conscious state, knowing andl

[@BrianKimnet]

@TheKenjeman It's definitely one of the major keys to closer relationships.

[@SystemFreaKk13]

Being an introvert kinda sucks, but at the same time it lets my mind be full of complex and abstract ideas that help with me writing on a daily basis.

[@MrVkirdag]

Just to clarify a few things, Introvert = inward focused destiny i.e. a deep personal purpose in life extrovert= transcendental destiny i.e. their gift is with the other

[@UnlimitlesslyFunnyDude]

introvert = not gift with the other extrovert = no deep purpose in life
