Every Introvert Needs Someone Like Ike Eveland

[@Quiet.mage._.1841]

I’ll be honest I felt so bad when Mysta was trying to speak like I know they were trying to defend in the game but it just hurt. As a introvert I relate. Mysta is really sweet and especially Ike. Him standing up for him was really sweet.

[@jinwooclips]

yeahh big collabs could really be extra chaotic and it could be quite hard for introverts to speak up when there's a lot of people talking at the same time. sometimes, when you speak, you'll just be talked over especially when your voice isn't loud enough so you'll just end up staying silent. good thing ike was there

[@tuck234]

Yeah. I remember from a previous stream on his first week iirc that he mentioned that's why he isnt exactly comfortable with doing big collabs like that. I am super happy that he is def trying to improve himself and joining more into groups and even doing this OffCollab. Ike truly is great too amd iirc Vox and Nina do try to help also. But def Ike is a good friend speaking up for him to give his chance to talk. I know we all know the others dont mean to as y'all said. Big group collabs are pretty nutty and chaotic. Super glad Mysta has people like Ike extending that hand.

[@klausd.6285]

@@tuck234 Introverted people shouldn’t “have to improve” not to mention improving on being an actual introvert is literally impossible. The spectrum of introversion and extraversion all has to do with the nervous system and how the brain is wired. Yeah, let’s expect us introverts to just reprogram our whole nervous system for other people who can’t have the decency to let others talk and instead, do the rude thing and just talk over everyone. Don’t know about everyone else, but I was taught speaking over people and not littering them talk is rude af. Mysta shouldn’t have to feel the need that HE isn’t good enough and that HE has to change over something he literally has zero control over. Meanwhile, people do have control over the fact that they are being loud and speaking over people. My friends have no issues quieting down or flat out stop talking when I want to say something and give me an actual chance to talk because they know I won’t talk if I keep getting talked over and will ultimately just leave or be forgotten about. A real introvert can only handle so much before it just over loads our brains and we just shut down. Social interactions is mentally and physically draining and we can only do it for so long. My limit is any where from 30 minutes to 3 hours tops before I want to be alone and not be required to talk to anyone. Introversion is not “being shy” is not about how much time you stay at home nor is it the activities you do. Those are a side effect, expect being shy, we are just perceived that way. But it is literally just how long we can handle social interactions before our brains get over stimulated and we become physically and mentally drained.

[@tuck234]

​@@klausd.6285 We should be mindful of anyone who definitely feels or how we perceive someone maybe as uncomfortable, but that shouldn't also mean we just coddle either as if they are completely mentally defective, because introverts are definitely not. It helps no one especially said introvert. Some added context: My original comment that you replied to is a simplistic view, but I was more highlighting Ike providing the mental support especially since Among Us kind of encourages a more negative side of socially interacting (lying, arguing said lie, strategies of deception, etc.). I had no intention also of downplaying introversion as just shyness. I know it's waaaay more than that as someone who has been through similar situations. Apologies if it may have come off that way, but also we shouldn't just have others always handle as if you're always walking on eggshells around them. Treat them like a normal person.

Considering that both Ike and Mysta are introverts, and knowing what it is like for introverts because I'm one too...that probably took a lot for Ike to do that for him. I feel like I can get that way sometimes when you just kinda get that rush of bravery when you are trying to stick up for someone you care about. It was so sweet of Ike and this just killed me when they all got together irl.

Thank you so much, you just spoke my mind. People might not know Ike is also a really big introvert who struggles to talk to people as well. Im so glad Mysta has sweet people like Ike to look after him and speak up for him.

Same. For most of my elementary, middle, and high-school life, I had to pretend to be extroverted just to be noticed. But it never worked out because I never made real friends who genuinely cared about me. Most of my childhood was very traumatic so then having to emotionally and physically pushed myself out there to make friends was absolutely exhausting.

2:47 ike is my oshi from the start. this clip where he unnecessarily push the emergency button just to let mysta speak makes me love him even more.

[@drowsyjellyfish]

I didn't expect myself to cry while watching this, but i did. growing up as someone with social anxiety and being extremely introverted, i struggled to make friends, and my parents often told me to willingly go interact with other people. despite attempting to do so, i never managed to slip in conversations or let anyone hear me, and i often got left out. that led to me feeling even worse and uncomfortable.i can deeply relate to mysta's situation, and im just so glad to know that he has someone there to support him.

[@souleaterevans4589]

It is legitimately difficult for me to watch Mysta trying to speak in that meeting. I'm also very introverted and anxious in social situations so I can see myself behaving very similarly in such a chaotic big group. I really appreciate people like Ike who make sure us introverts are included and heard.

[@hazminiq]

this makes me tear up, I understand what it feels to speak in group of many people, and being shy with low voice make you invisible. its kind of sucks and made me feel miserable but mysta is streamer and I believe he feel more terrible not able to speak.

[@soapydishwater]

waaah this hits different now

[@ShadowsOfTheSky]

To be fair, Pomu and Finana were just FREAKIN’ it and straight up ignored multiple requests to let others speak. I understand if they were caught up in the heat of the game and arguing about being imposters, but even so, they took the ENTIRE meeting screaming at each other and both Nina and Ike asked them to give Mysta a moment and they ignored it.

[@kunoxx7]

The thing is, when you're too focused on someone but other person is also trying to get your attention, you'll always focus on what you deem more important first. Maybe they didn't *ignore* them, but they were so fixated on the argument that they didn't notice, or perhaps they *heard* Ike, Nina, and Mysta but didn't *listen* to them, as in, they only mildly perceived they were saying something but didn't actually know exactly what and automatically deemed it as less important. Notice how when Ike started the emergency meeting people started talking again but he raised his voice before things got heated up again. The higher the volume, the less likely something/someone is only heard instead of listened, that's why everyone listened to what he was saying in the first place and realized Mysta was trying to say something but couldn't. Then they kept quiet and let Mysta speak as they probably would have had they known. I honestly wouldn't fully blame them, it's very natural and all of us have probably done it more than once without even noticing, it depends on how you were raised and how outgoing you are, idk if they learned from this experience tho. If they didn't then, yeah, that sucks.

[@blue7609]

yeah they really were incredibly inconsiderate and obnoxious during the game, reimu too had a lot of moments where she was just shouting and talking over people and even after Ike called a new meeting just to let mysta speak and reimu was STILL interrupting

[@blue7609]

@@kunoxx7 They're grown adults and you're trying to excuse their behaviour like they're some little kids that don't know how to behave. I think it's important to call out their selfish behaviour so that they can understand the way their behaviour can affect others in a negative way, because they are the ones responsible for the way they acted. I have had moments in life where I accidentally interrupted someone or talked over them but I always notice straight away and let the other person talk. It's really not hard, it's just basic consideration towards another person. And yes I know people have different personalities and mentalities, some people are a lot more oblivious and inconsiderate which isn't a crime and that doesn't make them a bad person. But in life you need to learn to be respectful towards others, especially when you're working a job that requires you to socialise and interact with others. You mentioned about them being outgoing but look at Luca, he's super outgoing but he also let others speak, he doesn't talk non-stop and shout over anyone else trying to talk. Many times he waited to speak and couldn't get a word out. The level of selfishness/inconsideration of certain people during the game ruined it for a lot of people. Doesn't mean that we're hating on those people, just on the way that they behaved. In the first place, yes it's lovely that Ike did what he did for Mysta but he shouldn't have had to go that far just so that they would listen to Mysta and it's sad that he had to go that far because some of them have no manners. I also think it can be fun to have that shouting and chaos sometimes, but it's not funny when it's happening the entire time with the same 3 people shouting over everyone else and not letting them get a word in edgeways.

[@kunoxx7]

@@blue7609 Not trying to actually excuse their behavior, although it might’ve come off as that to others. I did feel pretty bothered by what they did too, it was, indeed, very unfair to Mysta, I just feel like people have to understand different perspectives to make a judgement, sometimes we focus too much on the “what” and ignore the “why”, I was simply trying to describe what I think would’ve caused it, and explain other things to support that, like you’d do with any statement. I agree with you, their behavior was very selfish, but I sometimes like to look deeper in and make a second judgement. I like to understand and explore other things besides what we’re seeing, it will never make things any less wrong, but I like to do it to understand the other side. Know that I am aware that their behavior was selfish and that I never thought otherwise.

It feels so awful and when it happens frequently for years on end it really messes with your self esteem, like you always feel that nobody cares about what you have to say.

[@Haruuuuu02]

Sometimes it takes an introvert to stand up for another introvert. I see a lot of people relate to Mysta a lot but I can say that I am mostly Ike in this situation, I'm an introvert who fortunately doesn't have any social anxiety or shyness to public. Despite being an introvert I could speak a lot, I just don't wanna talk if I don't need to, and I will support my friends who's struggling to present themselves because I understand their feeling. I used to think it's nothing, and I used to think maybe I'm too overbearing, maybe I could've pushed them too much, maybe I should've respect their decision of not wanting to speak up. But seeing people, including Mysta actually appreciating these kind of gesture made me glad that I do what I did. Don't feel bad if you need support, and please say if you really don't want the extra push or support if it's too overbearing. We got this, introverts!

[@nicodalusong149]

I totally get this so I really appreciate what Ike did for Mysta. It's a real problem for introverted folks to assert ourselves in conversations because that's just not how we operate. We would very much prefer organized discussions if with large groups precisely for this reason. I'd be like Mysta and just give up and keep quiet because that's so much easier to deal with mentally and emotionally than trying and being ignored. It's equally emotionally and mentally draining to speak to a large group only to be met with awkward silence because you aren't very good at explaining or expressing yourself for one reason or another and they're trying to figure out if you're done or not or they just didn't get anything you said (which amounts to them discarding what you said).

This actually happened to a friend of mine during a discord call. I'm super introvert and more likely, a listener but I fucking can't tolerate when someone is talking, somebody else cuts them off in between their sentences and talks about a different topic. Like it makes me so mad. So I frequently use my age (or just me being serious all the time) card to tell them to let others finish what they're saying because it's clearly getting noisy and such. After the call, the friend of mine messaged and thanked me for letting her talk even if it wasn't important and it was the first since she joined the server that someone let her finish.

That was really sweet of Ike. One time I had to do a presentation on school alone (I choose to do it alone because I was in a new class and was a little anxious of doing it with other people) and I really can't keep talking while someone start to speak along with me, because I don't talk much and tend to forget what I was saying if someone interupts me in presentations. So this angel in my class stood up and told everyone to make silence for me to do my presentation and I could do it without any problem.

I can relate with Mysta a lot. Though I may not come off as introverted, I do have a hard time with large calls and hanging out with more than 3 people.

[@roselii49]

There’s nothing wrong with having smaller calls! I have plenty of friends that stream and they usually have a 4 person limit in their own calls (the streamer themselves, and 3 others), since most multiplayer games allow 4 people. I also have a limit of 4 people in stream calls with me. Don’t feel obligated to be in larger calls - set your boundaries and be honest with your limits.

[@Proteus-zb6qv]

man i felt this. not only bc of mysta but actually bc of ike. it's so frustrating when people cannot speak during among us debates with friends bc everyone is just fking screaming and not letting others talk. when that happens i usually do what ike does, saying things like "hey let's hear what this person has to say" or even go like "SHUT UP AND LET THEM TALK". if you know someone is trying to talk but can't bc of all the noise then stfu for a minute and let them speak jfc. it's not that hard. i'm so proud of u ike for standing up for mysta. 😭

[@Mylesdesu]

Yep, introvert here too. I've been in Mysta's situation so often in the past, not being heard just felt like being ignored and it hurt. However as time passed and I got more confident, I've gotten better at speaking up. When getting talked over really gets on my nerves, I legit _sarcastically_ say "I'm not done talking/sure talk over me." But that's usually reserved for when that one person won't let up lol. During this collab I'm pretty sure I was yelling at the screen to let Mysta talk lol. Bless Ike for doing this for him. I still haven't gone back and watched the irl collabs of these four, so I missed this part!! thank you!!

[@shioriamane]

I can relate to mysta so much that's why he became my oshi. But I am happy he got friends to back him up like me. I am so grateful for my friends watching this. No matter how much I cry, and think I created a drama by the end of the day. They support me . Love them so much

[@Alex-bt5xb]

Every introvert needs Ike istg

[@Plumpersis]

I like how Ike bravely stands for Mysta. And I know how Mysta felt when there's a lot of people around you, I'm also not good at calls/group calls or being around with a lot of people. I know how it feels when an introvert suddenly wanna speak their minds but ended up getting ignored. It hurts, but at the end of the day we'll just stay quiet. But, I'm glad there is someone like Ike as a friend. I want that kind of friend too. I hope we all have someone like Ike.

[@Manasama3ffect]

I want friends like that omg 😭 this is so wholesome

[@lilith-4687]

Ike reminds me of my bestie how she'd always try to include me with stuff Fck my eyes are sweating wohh

[@sleepyan_u]

STOP CUTTING ONIONS. No but to be real for a second, I've been struggling with social anxiety for years and people hardly do something like this for me, so to see Mysta having that space, without even asking for it, just his friends being genuinely amazing, brought me to tears. I'm so happy they found eachother

[@hansgodfrey]

Us introverts and Mysta whispering: "Shit, I forgot to ask for water..." Ike being the lovely human being he is to a waiter: "Excuse me? They want water, please." THANK YOU IKE EVELAND FOR BEING THERE FOR OUR LIL MYSTA RIAS❤❣❤❣❣❤❣❤❣❤

[@alexis_louise]

I too, an introvert myself, know what Mysta feels like when you wanted to talk but you're so shy and get overpowered by the voices of others, so you just tend not to speak at all. And if ever I encounter a person like Ike, I would be so happy and blessed.

[@hossierdaddie4717]

Bruh i remember watching the among us stream and getting so ticked off because some of the streamers were talking over each other, too loudly, and dare i say it's like some of them don't really care to give space for others to talk. This is my first full stream with NijiEn and I'm not going to lie I didn't have a good impression with some of them (I've watched more of these streamers and my perception towards them have changed a little bit). I admit it's more of a personal thing because irl I'm the one that usually mediates discussions and ushered people to talk more so I really get how Ike (and maybe others too) was stressed on that one. I felt really bad for Mysta and Petra especially on that stream because I get that these things aren't something easy to 'fix', you can't just expect introverted people to suddenly be assertive. With this kind of people you have to be extra attentive to them and make sure they don't feel left out. I'm thankful that Ike, Nina, and perhaps others that I haven't noticed were there to help the quiter ones to speak out.

[@Isegmfu]

Honestly, I 100% agree with you. While watching the whole collab stream, for some reason, it was so obnoxious for them to not let other members to speak, especially for Mysta. Like, I understand how they wanted to sort of defend themselves in-game, but with all the screaming and interrupting as if there weren't any other members there really rubs me the wrong way. Don't get me wrong, I love all of them. But that one collab stream really changed the way I see them (just like you said). I may said something wrong, but I'm just giving my two cents. Hope nobody's triggered ^^;

[@hossierdaddie4717]

@@Isegmfu I guess that particular stream enlightened us on who's more assertive within the bunch huh ;) among us aside though, my perception has greatly changed since the first time I stumbled upon NijiEN and honestly everyone's pretty sweet! I just hope that everyone will get a chance in the future to play a similar game and will be more equal in terms of who gets to speak.

[@ashtraypup]

since this was 4 months ago you’re view might’ve changed but i don’t think it’s fair to let this change your impression of them because not everybody is gonna be able to hear everybody and they all just wanna defend themselves lol. it’s just how among us is. i really doubt that anyone playing among us would’ve been able to let everybody speak because.. that’s just not how a lot of people are. + imo it wouldn’t have been all that entertaining. i’m sure none of them meant to ignore the other it’s just something that happens

[@HunnyVeemo]

@@ashtraypup You took the words right out of my mouth, plus i believe it was the fact that the louder streamers were more aquainted with each other and more comfortable with streaming, its kinda wrong for your opinion to change on someone in a collab where the game is literally quick debate most of the time with play fighting and yelling when you should base your opinion by a streamer themself. A lot of people were saying the female vtubers were annoying or obnoxious for their behavior but they’ll be looked at like that if the streamer THE VIEWER is watching is the more timid type.

[@ashtraypup]

@@HunnyVeemo yeah exactly!! letting everybody speak would be ideal but it would take way too long. i saw a lot of people complaining about the girls ignoring ike which i mean they were (not that they meant to i’m sure) but luca also was.. he wasn’t exactly yelling but he was still continuing on and talking. i relate to mysta a lot in that scenario because i’m also a major introvert and also have social anxiety but i can’t blame people for not hearing him since he was quiet and they were in their own world

[@spirit1730]

Okay, I'm tearing up over Amogus

[@jinwooclips]

something that we didn't expect we'd cry over T.T

[@zomboids2100]

I love how right as mysta tears up Nina goes in mom mode immediately hugging him after opening up like that, makes me love her more then I already do. 💙 That Q&A with those 4 is just heartwarming and shows how close they really are.

[@fhen_]

I feel bad for mysta, dude when you're an introvert and everybody around you is an extrovert it really kinda sucks cause you can't talk, and you determine everything you might say might not be as important. Everybody should have a friend like ike, and nina.

[@lostineveland]

Oh god, I'm crying. I can totally relate with Mysta. I really appreciate people like Ike when it comes to these situations, because I can't handle them. TT

[@minyerim2516]

OH GOD IM CRYING NOW YSAGJS IM IN CLASS AND IM CRYING BRUHH

[@polyxeme]

I cried bruh I can relate sm, this happened to me like a week ago? There were too many people and I felt so bad and anxious jsjsjs Anw Ike is so sweet and kind 😭

[@verinacallista1618]

I'm very touched by the way Ike and the others treat mysta well, especially Ike when in the clip Ike really cares about mysta and cares about him I'm always worried about mysta because she's a little innocent child :'' Luvv mysta and everyone

[@lightmegaz]

This actually hit close to me right now. A week ago, I raised some concern about our research to my group bcs I said something is off about it, but they just said it'll be fine nothing to worry about. And being introverted I am, I just ok and nod. And when it comes to our defense, I actually said something, but nobody can hear me bcs my voice is soooo low. And some of the points our panelists speaks is actually in line to my concerns. I just shrugged it off and said it's fine but honestly, I wish I push it more before so at least we can get more better outcome. P. S. It went fine at the end, but I feel our performance was half cook at best. Edit: Also, get a friend like Ike! He's precious 💙

[@Quarin.x]

I cried watching this because I related to Mysta so much, and to have someone like Ike jump in and to have Mysta be able to speak is really sweet. Everyone needs an Ike in their life

[@unieveland9198]

I wish my friends were like this, I always get ignored in calls and end up leaving feeling depressed, I need an ike.

[@jinwooclips]

awwww. hope your ike comes sooner. hugsss 🧡💙

[@TubeofDestiny]

That's a precious moment of humanity right there, paying attention to each others and lending a hand, just because it's the right thing to do. It's the little things like this that will give you hope again: maybe there's a few people out there who are genuinely nice and will help others not because of constraints, or public judgement, but because of their own personal morality and ethics, what makes their private character, that will drive them to not accept what's wrong and act to ease the suffering they can see. It's not much there, sure, but it speaks about the type of person Ike, and people like him, would be and possibly do in other situations. This is the sort of empathy I really like to see in this world.

[@byulstar3936]

WAIT IM CRYINGGGGGGGGGG😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 THIS REALLY SADDENS ME, WE ALL NEED A FRIEND LIKE IKE FT. NINA😭💓

[@SISYPHEAN44]

Bro, mysta was relatable there and like, damn, this made me tear up. The way Ike stood up for him, omg, Im gonna cry thats so precious and nice i cant. Ik im late to seeing this but still, this warmed my heart aaaaa.

[@nanarosex3]

okay but ike sighing when he wasn’t being listened to honestly felt that

[@CenturianTale_Halo]

Everyone absolutely needs a friend like Ike because while I'm not very introverted, I do have a hard time being heard when a lot of people are talking and sometimes I just give up or wait for it to finally be quiet. I understand not being able to speak and what Ike did was incredibly sweet.

[@marcytrancy2090]

I honestly feel Mysta on that one. When people talk over and stuff, you just kind of go quiet and either wait or never say a word. (admittedly I sometimes speak over people and I always feel bad and ask them to say it again qwq) So Ike standing up for him was just sweet and kind. Kudos to you Ike for being there. As for Mysta, good job doing your best in being more outspoken. You're improving every day and we're all so proud of you.

[@emmaskaniner2196]

omg noo this is so sweet- i'm crying too-

[@justaphone334]

More reasons to love love love Ike omgggg 🥰😍♥️ poor mysta😭

[@Hitsuji-senpaiVT]

Fuck, a moment like this hits hard. I never knew this about Mysta, but I know how he feels when it comes to being in a group. I'm more introverted too and when it comes to having anything to say in the group I'm in, there's always 3-4 people taking the lead on group chats and I never have a proper opportunity to give my input. It makes you feel ignored and like an outsider of the group. I know people doing most, if not all of the talking don't do it on purpose. I'm sure they're just unaware of what they're doing and how it affects the other members of the group who are more introverted, like Mysta and myself, but it doesn't mean it hurts any less when we aren't given a chance to speak. So for Ike to speak up for Mysta, even though Mysta feels like what he had to say was unimportant, Ike wanted Mysta to be able say his piece as well. They're all a team, and everyone deserves a chance to participate. Bless Ike for his awareness and initiative on Mysta's behalf. And bless Mysta for speaking up about how Ike spoke up for him. Warms my heart.

[@cyaeisha2247]

This was sooo wholesome of Ike 🥺 This is why Ike is so special ❤️

[@Ranrinrunren]

IKEEEE OH MY FJCMFIR GOD... Right after I thought I couldn't love this man more.. No, he's really is a blessing. Oh, I really look up on him now. Oh these kind of people, hope in humanity. I really understand Mysta's feeling, as an introvert myself it's hard to talk with a lot of people in a group. Often being talked over. And what Ike is doing is... Very very precious, that's so precious like- literally if I were in Mysta's position I know how harddd it is and Ike's action can mean a lot. Really appreciate it if someone would do that, like thank you bruv. I would cry too tf- I'm crying. Like.. Yes it could be very tiring, and idk maybe as a Vtuber they have a "responsibility" To make their viewers/fans satisfied. So ofc he's trying so hard, and I get that. Having someone who's LITERALLY stands up for you is- Oh god Ike... 😭 this vid-(cause I don't watch their streams actually, but I watched their clips). Ike really has a calm, comfortable energy.. These boys(Luxiem) or members from the NIJISANJI EN, I hope they really get the best in life and get what they deserve :')

[@jinwooclips]

yes they do. they deserve everything 🧡❤️💙💜💛

[@fennekufoksu8822]

i... i love him so much, something about this man just pushed me to like him and this pushed me over the edge. watching this made me tear up as well ;; and also seeing all of the comments made me feel less lonely about these kinds of experiences.

[@JoJ0Kun]

i like so much mysta and i really felt his pain in the collab, empathizing with him and just being silenced because of being introverted into that scenario made me cry like a lot, i have been on that situation and i know how it feels. i'm really happy to know that he has people who can help him out like ike.

[@RainbowY0]

Now in crying 😭💓💓💓I love everyone and in so happy they have each other's back 😭😭💓

[@jinwooclips]

luxiem ❤💙🧡💛💜

[@Alicapy]

No cuz I cried during the QNA stream too?? Like I understand how it feels to have your voice drowned out and for Mysta to have Ike (and Shu) stand up for him. I really love the support Mysta gets now. Ty for the multiple clips xo

[@jamieramsey5881]

This is the sweetest thing I've ever heard anyone say to ike

[@rika362]

Omg thank god Ike was there. I feel bad for Mysta. He genuinely was trying his best but everyone's speaking so they can't hear our lil bean 😢 I was also quite stressed too like Ike when they won't shut up

[@bam6907]

I just want to hug Mysta and Ike and oh dear

[@Biscatronthebiscuit]

idk about anyone else but this really makes me want to be someone's Ike
