10 Things Only Introverts Understand

[@jackdipasquale8199]

I just enjoy being alone more than being in the company of others. I never feel alone when I am alone. I look forward to going home after work to peace and quiet.

[@Anonymous_Anon882]

You have a rich inner world. Of course you’re going to give more weight to your intuitive or subjective musings (which don’t necessarily require the vis-a-vis company of other people). It just makes you more independent (for one thing).

I’ve a friend,she’s nice& good but most of the time she irritates me.doesn’t listen to me,gets upset with me,is stubborn,sometimes forget the manner to talk,she pressurise me to do things which I probably don’t like& when I say no she gets upset. I’m an extreme introvert & don’t like being with her much. Recently I told her that I like to be alone with my family and don’t like to be with friends much. She’s again upset with me. Is this a good friendship or not?

[@edwhatshisname3562]

As an introvert myself, I can tell you that we may be fairly quiet in person but a lot more social online, specifically through text. Communication is a lot less stressful when you don't have to come up with an answer right away, or worry about people interrupting you and causing you to lose your train of thought. You can take your time to really think about what you want to say, instead of just blurting something out and potentially making a fool of yourself, or offending someone unintentionally.. or at least that's true of myself.

[@JG.Firestar]

This. I'm currently taking a French class, and writing French is _so much easier_ than speaking it. I had an entire conversation in French over Discord a few weeks ago. I would not have been able to do that when speaking. (Plus, I can look up individual words that I don’t know instead of looking like a fool.)

Over a lifetime, the people and things that I wanted to know generally turned out to be unrealistic, I put people on a higher level than they deserved. Exploring, solo, has easily been my greatest reward in life, I just had to keep exploring to find what I was looking for. Hope everyone looking finds that peace as well.

[@Sarah-ft8jr]

I’ve been with my other half for 20 years. He’s always been loud and sociable, whilst I prefer quiet time just the two of us. He’s recently decided he doesn’t like me anymore, and has been especially cruel and nasty about the fact I’m introverted. I feel like I’m at school again being bullied for being quiet. I’ve spent 20 years forcing myself to be someone I’m not. All I’ve ever wanted is a partner who likes the simple things in life like nature, camping, animals etc, I like the odd social gathering, but I’m not into small talk crap, I prefer to talk about interesting things then make stupid random meaningless noises. Why is it that extroverts are generally regarded as more likeable when usually they’re the shallowest most uncaring of all people. They spread themselves thinly and fake their way through life by being loud and stupid most of the time. Sorry for my rant 😔

Xander is worried Buffy will find out he thinks a lot about sex. Wesley tries to suppress his attraction to Cordelia. Willow is concerned that Buffy will come to know Oz better than she does. Giles is focused on finding the cause and a cure. Meanwhile Oz is considering the philosophical implications, for example that if his thoughts are the essence of his existence, and Buffy can read them, she is effectively becoming him and also everyone else around her.

Even then, it's good to be quiet to not feel like I'm over talking. On my weekends, I usually just stay in the comfort of my own place. Peace and solitude is important, and I feel most at peace.

[@jonahhex18]

I like spending time with people, but it feels like work. I have to adjust myself to be sociable and fun. I have to be willing to try new things, and compromise, and let other people get their way sometimes. When I'm by myself, none of that is there. I can be selfish. I don't have any obligations or responsibilities. I don't need to respect anyone but myself, and I don't need to push myself to do anything other than the things I personally choose to do. But that gets boring eventually, and then I want to go hang out with people. I need stimulation, emotionally and mentally and physically. It's a balancing act, and it's very important to a healthy life.

Extroverts suck up energy. Don't need them.

[@1mespud]

The main reason we introvert prefer solitude is that we don't like other people's problems jumping in line of the personal problems we already have. We think, create, stretch out and grow with less or no one around because we hate distractions and entourages offsetting our plans and ideas. We're also less likely to be narcists, braggards or showoffs.

[@Anonymous_Anon882]

And you also have your own cognitive functions which may or may not require the presence of other people in a vis-a-vis sense (to varying extents). A lead extraverted sensor by very virtue of the nature of that function is going to need a lot more social interaction than a lead introverted thinker or even extroverted intuitive (Ne might be technically extroverted but it’s not necessarily bubbly or outgoing in the way Se or even outgoing Si are). That’s why a lot of ENFPs (for example) seem like hardcore introverts until you get to know them better. The issue is when people who are co-dependent like so assume their way is the only normal way and that there must be something inherently wrong with everyone else. That’s when it becomes very offensive.

[@MegaLokopo]

I'll also point out even once we fix our own problems, everyone is only ever even more interested in telling us about their problems, because they have seen how well we solved our problems. It is funny how they never seem to learn that their issue is too much talking and not enough listening, but if they were able to listen enough to learn the importance of listening, they wouldn't need to learn how to listen.

[@reneemcgee9623]

Thank God they have a name for us I've been in therapy all my life and I just thought I was crazy. But this is me exactly 💯

[@Anonymous_Anon882]

When people are telling you you’re crazy just because you enjoy your own company that’s going to drive an anxiety so it’s understandable you had to go through that. I’m glad you found the peace and validation you needed with this video.

[@MegaLokopo]

You should get a better therapist if they haven't already discovered you were an introvert. It isn't exactly a new concept.

[@gellerbingsgaming]

Extroverts need to watch this video and try to understand us introverts. Often I have extroverts calling me weird because I like spending time alone

[@marknewton6984]

Extroverts give me a headache.

[@vernabryant2894]

I'm an introvert and I have got to have time alone or I get stressed tired and irritable.

[@brendanagy6205]

This is probably the best video about introverts on KZbin! Thanks for posting. I'll use it as a reference when trying to explain to others what it is to be an introvert.

[@Anonymous_Anon882]

Stereotypically-obnoxious extraverts: ‘O.M.G., some people can spend weekends with a book and a solo bottle of wine only for company without being depressed/suicidal? Some people eat lunch alone and are okay with it? Some people are okay being the reserved, smart observer at parties who’s actually Gucci just drinking Sambuca and Budweiser in the corner? Not everyone’s gagging for round-the-clock vis-a-vis social validation? Some people actually enjoy their own company? It’s not okay to make baseless assumptions or gossip about perfect strangers (many of whom are blatantly already down and don’t need kicking) to pass the time?’ Ambiverts (including pensive, well-rounded extroverts) and introverts: ‘erm, didn’t your mum teach you all this when you were 5? How do you not know all this basic respect, personal awareness and social-propriety stuff at this your big age? Are you actually tapped in the head? How did you make it through high school, you stupid, silly, obnoxious little idiot?’

[@2004marmar]

Hello introverts from an introvert ;) Such true info in this vid.

[@brendawarner5415]

Made me laugh,the one about hoping plans get canceled. I check all the boxes,consider myself to be an extroverted introvert. Yes, quiet, not shy.Talking when there's something to say,when there's someone interested or interesting to talk to.

[@neko_8315]

Being social really is draining

[@pranab9315]

When i first heard the word introvert then i connected myself with this word. I always thought why i am like that but i like to spend most of time alone because first i want to discover myself and so that i can be master in my field. I always tell myself "Dear me, oneday i will make you proud" & i am working on it. I tried and i am trying to get my goal.

[@4737sdsr]

I love being alone and doing my own things in my spare time. But I'm jealous of the guys who have lots of friends and connections. No matter how good we are there're always people we can learn from in any aspect of life. But I just can't move my ass and get out!

[@Lordran__]

100% AGREED

[@Truth_Be_Told_2023]

I do not Consider / Label,,, Those in my life as Friends, ,.. I consider them acquaintance. I know more about them than there own Family. Yet the same ones, Those whom call ME there friend/ Bestfried', I have known just for a year, all the way up to my whole life, know very little about me It not that I'm hiding anything from them. I just don't volunteer or talk about myself , Education, Jobs, Places I've traveled & lived. Yep. They didn't even know I have children, until one of my children call me. Three in my life time could and enjoyed having a deep conversation every time we meet, then we both got to know each other. (To a point).🙏..

[@Aero1818]

I'm a social introvert, but most of my time I spend them in solitude. Still I have lots of connections and can navigate through many social circles, most of them are acquaintances, but my true friends are just a few.

[@Angell_Lee]

Great video as always, for the last one. I'm an introvert, but not shy. It's a stereotype that all introverts are shy. :P

[@SoulSojourner]

I used to be an introvert, but now I fit into the more rare category of ambivert. Still introvert dominant, of course. A hat tip to all the ambiverts out there, whether you've balanced yourself from extroversion or from introversion, you're not alone either. 💁‍♂🎩

[@marjorymsuku9312]

"Introverts are anything but unusual"!!😊

[@brendadrew834]

Proud to be a creative introvert though an ambivert when I was young living in NYC as a professional fashion illustrator /floral designer with all the loud noises, crowded subways and streets, starting working for corporate America at age 19! Married for 42 years, raised three kids so been there, done that! Former fitness trainer in my 40s in the 1990s. Love the peace and tranquility at age 74 now, time to read a lot i.e. a lifelong "bookaholic" and time to be even more creative painting, cooking/baking and communing with nature by the sea! It's possible to create a heaven on Earth akin to French impressionist painter Claude Monet! And as introvert American painter Georgia O'Keefe stated, "Be of the world , but not in it"!! Smart woman!

[@emskeeeee]

I’m married to an adventurous extrovert. I’m outgoing but my ideal weekend is at home…I love being alone

[@jessicaballantyne5825]

When I eat with my family, they're all discussing politics, and I quietly enjoy my meal, and maybe share my thoughts.

[@Michaketsu]

I'm an extrovert but I'm reading this cause I wanna learn the introvert's perspective in life.

[@TrollFaceHmm]

"WHY YOURE EATING ALONE?" extroverts ask "EATING ALONE MAKES ME FEEL HAPPIER" introvert replied

[@shelteredsparrow2736]

These are good and so me. A coping mechanism I have is choosing extreme extraverts as my closest friends. That gives me the ability to fade into the background when necessary

[@gandalf751]

I`m definitely an introvert, thank god my friends understands and don`t bother me when I want to be alone!

[@kellymitchell3138]

Oh my gosh, how many times when I was younger did I make big plans with friends days or weeks in advance, only to wish I hadn't committed myself and agonize all day trying to find a way out of it. But the relief and joy when plans would simply fall through? Priceless! I count myself fortunate to like my own company 🥰

[@gregorywootton3870]

yes love all the Covid cancellations, working from home, life is great.

[@MARK-dn2zm]

Indeed 😭✋🏻😅😅

[@gruppettovelo]

I was never happier.

[@gwendolynbrown1111]

Lol. Me three!!!

[@christopherx7428]

How very true! I recently completed a little project, hiking through Germany from north to south. It was just me, the path and the sky and I was happy! Sure, I stopped and talked to strangers now and then, but that was when I chose to do so.

[@flowerpower4944]

Yea time alone up on the mountain is relaxing it re charges the whole mind body and soul, when you go home you feel rested and inspired.🤗💕💕

[@hijinxvr1027]

Kinda in the middle here, as I'm big into both camping and raving. I love the peaceful solitude of the wilderness, but also love being around groups of energetic people. What an enigma!!!

[@jeevanshahi6910]

Deep connection with nature & Self

[@allicat329]

This is that simple! Be in the moment live in it; and move forward. Remember 3 things. Benefit of the Doubt, Pick Your battles, and Mind Your own Business.

[@nelsonvargas2367]

Extroverts look after they leap . Introverts look before they leap .

[@kevinjekyll1521]

I find as an introvert I get taken advantage of quite a bit of the time, I am honest with myself and expect that is the case with those I interreact with, a lot of people see that as just another of getting something for no or little effort. Being quiet doesn't equate to having nothing to say, as I remind myself daily, it is better to say nothing and look the fool than opening your mouth and removing no doubt!

[@edmilsondengo2929]

Thank u! I fill more comfortable with myself now...

[@WhoDoUthinkUr]

As an absolute introvert I can say I am not a good listener my thoughts tend to take over and I tune people out . But a few well timed nods and yeps make people think I really care.

[@Pinonyan]

Thanks for this reminder Makes me accept myself a little more.

[@jonathanlopez8982]

I love the fact that now you are uploading videos more often!

[@bonitahampton7105]

Everything is right what's in this video because I'm a Introvert. and Love it!!!

[@stevenkmiller]

If you're an Introvert but like exploring and being outside, you might look into being a long-haul truck driver. No office politics, little demand on your day other than getting there on time and pretty decent income.

[@mph1ish]

When I was a little girl I used to see these truck driving school commercials on tv and think wow what a dream job, that's for me! Makes total sense now 😄

[@stephens4175]

we introverts have an attention span and don't let our emotions guide us and we aren't reactive to everything, that is a big strength that we have, and it is a big difference between us and extroverts..
