Ryo: A Confident Introvert in Anime

[@nirika420]

This is extremely bassed. Ryo is definitely the kind of character that shows us all that to be confident, we just have to accept ourselves and be who we are without needing to 'impress' others. Let us all start eating grass jk

[@TapaniLastellar]

When it comes to confidence for Ryo, it also includes her goofy side which made her character more enjoyable than just a 24/7 calm character. inserts Ryo eating grass GIF

bocchi should learn with her. Part of Bocchi's social anxiety is because of desiring too much to impress others or be liked by every single person.

[@StuninRub]

Introverts don't lack confidence. Don't conflate somebody who has social anxiety as being the same as being an introvert.

[@TapaniLastellar]

Yep, the difference between Ryo and Bocchi.

[@confusedfrog294]

As someone with social anxiety, it’s not exactly a lack of confidence either, or at least, not a lack of confidence in myself. I just don’t trust people who I don’t know to see me how I see myself. But yeah, still not the same as being an introvert.

@@sweetcisteen Bocchi still gets drained from social interactions. Another commenter here is an example [Social anxiety and introversion are not the same thing. I, an introvert, love people and love meeting new people, I just get socially exhausted very quickly and need to recharge alone].

[@othamneil8958]

​@@TapaniLastellar I think Bocchi is an extrovert. Extroverts also get drained from social interactions, especially if they also have social anxiety, and have a fear of being judged, which exists in all people. What defines an extrovert or an introvert is their personality. Extroversion is seen as being upbeat, energetic, outgoing, and assertive, and introversion is the opposite of that.

I love confident introverts, mostly because I think that people usually don’t understand what being an introvert means. It’s not being shy and timid or hating people, is about how being around people drains your energy even if you like and love those people, and you need time alone to recharge, but you can be very confident and comfortable (in opposite to awkward) around people. We need more examples like Ryo to really make the point come across, because as an introvert I’m tired of all the incorrect assumptions that people make 😓

[@TapaniLastellar]

You nailed it! I hope more people will understand introverts and how they can be confident 🙏

[@Axterix13]

It isn't even all about being drained by the encounter. Ryo can probably gab about the latest music charts and trends from Egypt for hours on end. But if you change the topic to something she doesn't really care about, then the drain kicks in. It's a key difference. Extroverts need that social interaction. The introvert doesn't, but is often perfectly fine if the encounter aligns with their interests. Of course, we still likely wouldn't want to do that every day, or even most days.

[@lumisobolewska]

Ryo's confident enough to be her goofy self anytime. Having Bocchi in the show made it simple to show to difference between introverts too. 😃

[@TapaniLastellar]

It was hilarious to hear Ryo tell Bocchi she's alone by choice Ryo also knew how Bocchi felt too because the nickname 'Bocchi' came from Ryo

[@Resh-3221]

btw a common definition for introvert is being more comfortable being alone or with their own thoughts. its not having social anxiety. like an extrovert feeling more comfortable with others, its the opposite for introvert. but that doesn't mean extroverts feel anxiety being alone. they would just be bored.

[@TapaniLastellar]

Kita's an anxious extrovert. I remember someone else making a post about it too

[@pedroba76]

i wonder if this apllies to social media and online too, or only for real life interaction.

[@nutmeg1209]

Social anxiety and introversion are not the same thing. I, an introvert, love people and love meeting new people, I just get socially exhausted very quickly and need to recharge alone. Introvert don’t lack confidence, we just prefer some quiet.

[@TapaniLastellar]

Yep they're not the same. Introvert characters don't always need to have social anxiety attached to them, but it's a common combo. Real life is diverse.

[@MrAflac_1]

As a bassist and an introvert like Ryo, i have found myself a favorite anime character

[@TapaniLastellar]

you even have Ryo as your profile picture~

[@drumsy69]

Here's all the fact: about the four characters personalities. Bocchi: is the introverts a person whose personality is characterized by introversion a typically reserved or quiet person who tends to be introspective and enjoys spending time alone. Note: Introverts are typically more comfortable interacting with small groups of people rather than large groups (as at parties). Kita: extrovert an aspect of a personality that is often characterized by expressive and outgoing patterns of behavior. People who are extroverts tend to be very talkative, sociable, active, and warm. Ryo: is omniverts who experience extremes in introversion and extraversion. Unlike ambiverts, omniverts have trouble balancing outgoingness and shyness. As a result, they can seem like they have a dual personality depending on the situation they're in. Nijika: is an ambiverts a person who has features of both an introvert (= someone who prefers to spend time alone) and an extrovert (= someone who prefers to be with other people) in their personality: Ambiverts are sometimes also called outgoing or social introverts.

[@TapaniLastellar]

good analysis 🙌

[@E1Ns_]

Ryō is definitely one of the characters of all time that no matter the facade or different faces all of us wear , truth will just knock it off the park and instead of doing so we tend to not get real of ourselves be it shortcomings or problems regarding in socializing with others.

[@hiho9149]

Ryo is very high introversion, low neuroticism. Bocchi is high introversion, very high neuroticism. If anything I'd say she gets close to being ambiverted since she seeks human connection so much, it's mainly her neuroticism that causes her grief and makes her stay away from people.

[@Hariprasad-cd5bi]

I can relate to ryo. I'm 100% introvert but is not socially anxious or frightened to address people 🙂 I'm interested in doing seminars, can talk on stage and can interact easily among a crowd, but it drains me and being alone makes me comfortable and recharged.

[@mightypopkorn]

This is what i was always thinking, if you're introvert doesn't mean you're afraid of every single person in the world, you could be really good at social skills but you like to be alone more, that's still introvert, but bocchi has social anxiety, she kinda wants to have friends and gain attention but she's too afraid to talk to other person

[@TapaniLastellar]

yep like when we get those scenes of Bocchi's thinking about being famous/popular Ryou managed to sell the band tickets without a problem and still prefers to be alone

[@Sloth0815]

I like to say that Ryo is just like me fr but she isn't, I lack the confidence. But I will get there, some day.

[@teamur57]

While thinking of Introverts in anime, I think of Yuru Camp. One of the main characters Rin Shima is introverted, isn’t high energy like her friend Nadeshiko, yet she’s not making her loneliness a problem. Instead, she enjoys calmness of her own time to think, to read, to collect with thoughts. Yes, she sometimes overthink, but it’s okay for people in general. So my message to fellow introverts, don’t hurry. Take a breath in, count to 4, breath out. Come to problem rationally and don’t go hard on yourself. Kind people will understand your position. (Says someone like me, lol)

[@TapaniLastellar]

Rin's an excellent example! She loves her solo trips and still makes time to hang with her friends

Being an introvert and being an anti social are not always related. The only difference between an extrovert and introvert in that regard is that one need time alone to recover and the other needs social interaction. You can be extrovert and anti social, which sucks. Needless that you can still love social interractions as a introvert. But you will probably need some days alone after that one big party. Don't let one trace of your personality dictate how you live

[@placeHolder-tj2od]

this was a nice video! i love the idea of unconventional introverts as too often they're boxed into the same type of characters (get it? boxed? bc bocchi gets... nevermind) also side note but i also think okabe is an introvert? i percieved him as one at least, i always thought it was just the facade that made him come off as confident but he did strike me as an introvert for the most part also some of the comments are kinda mean i dont think you're saying introverts are inherently lacking in confidence just that it's rare to see them portrayed like this

[@TapaniLastellar]

I got the idea from seeing so many comments about "me fr fr" when it comes to Bocchi. Surely there introverts without Bocchi's level of social anxiety that people can relate to as well. In comes Ryo! Okabe seems like those loud introverts that need a recharge, nice to see that you also felt like he is one. No I don't introverts inherently lack confidence, I meant the way most introvert characters are in anime. Real life is too diverse for me to use as an example.

[@placeHolder-tj2od]

@@TapaniLastellar the thing about okabe is that in moments where he isn't using his facade, he's actually not that sociable, from what i noticed he actually isn't that sociable at all and he really only sticks to his group of people and goofs off with them, but when he puts his facade off he usually feels like an introvert, especially in zero

[@666-d5y]

being an introvert in terms of socialization preference to the norm has nothing to do with traits like confidence/self-assurance. id suggest people to not try to emulate characters from anime, or any character at all, infact, trying to induce traits within oneself when one has limited understanding of the origins and implications of that personality trait is the least efficient way to achieve that certain headspace. keeping unnecessary romanticization to the minimum is crucial to avoiding the barnum effect. the obsession of anime people with these minor and ultimately unimportant traits is irrational, but ive been there too so i get it - when i was 12. in short - dont base your personality around this one small arbitrary trait. there is no 'introverts vs extroverts' competition. dont try to constantly self-validate yourself

[@TapaniLastellar]

yeah it's good to get inspiration from anime characters but don't treat it like religious text

[@dertulip]

I am confident by my own but when I get into society I'd like to dissapear. Today I tryed to display my presentation with guitar but I just couldn't breath and my eyes got dark then I almost fainted and couldn't spell a word (we won't say that I couldn't even hold guitar). Also the problem is my personality type - it's impossible to me to get attached to anyone, I just don't care about others? because others don't care about me

So confident introvert = selfish jerk that constantly borrow money from friend that she will never repay (she only did repay bocchi because nijika literally forced her to do so) She isn't an introvert, she s literally just a weirdo that enjoy being called weirdo because she thinks this is cool and feel like that s how a rock star should act. (which is something that was literally stated both in anime and manga) Everything she does is pretty much for her own amusement even at the expend of others.

The other thing Ryo has that a lot of us (non-socially anxious) introverts have is that she's very capable of being chatty and such... when the topic interests her. She likes what she likes, and isn't really interested in doing things related to other stuff. If we liked more popular stuff, like the sports ball, hey, we'd be harder to distinguish from extroverts. But the short of it, the topic of conversation matters.

[@basedalex]

Yeah its wrong to divide people/characters into just two groups. I could even argue that Bocchi herself is not an Introvert and just socially awkward extrovert which is her inner conflict, she wants people to acknowledge her, she wants people to compliment her playing, she wants to spend time with friends, but she has no idea how to get all those things. Actually this is why I find her so relatable, because I dealt with similar problems (only missing the fact I was only mediocre on guitar). You're right that people usually misinterept introverts as being "shy, socially anxious, lonely". Even if you search "anime introverts" in google you get those characters you stated at the start of the video.

Man, these AI interpolated visuals are atrocious

[@TapaniLastellar]

interpolated visuals were a test, do you prefer my other video's style?

Sir please do a review of the magic that is bakemonogatari. If you haven't watched it yet, then go do that now. And if you're not sure about the 'correct' way to watch it then the answer is to watch it in the order they were released. That's how the author intended it. Because the first season that was published starts somewhere in the middle of the show's timeline, there are people that think the show should be watched based on the first things to happen in the timeline. Those people are wrong, watching it like that spoils so much stuff extremely early, and it'll take away the suspense and curiosity that builds up while watching

[@TapaniLastellar]

I haven't watched the monogatari series at all. It wouldn't be efficient for me to binge watch it for the sake of a review video. I believe you'll find someone else that will fit the bill 🙏
