Why do PEOPLE LOVE BOTHERING INTROVERTS! 😣

I just want to be left alone. Is that too much to ask?

You are totally correct, Tim! When you mind your business and don't want to be bothered, people will sense this and desire to bug you. Sometimes it's even the people you'd think wouldn't have nothing to do with you. Sometimes it's the people who have nothing in common with you or the ones who don't share your interests. Sometimes it's the people who live a totally different lifestyle than yours. Sometimes it's a group of people you want nothing to do with. Sometimes they will send their kids over to you, just to bug you. These extroverts are quick to call introverts names like arrogant and cocky. Some people just can't handle the fact that you are just simply a "Man Of Peace." It's the oddest thing! I know this personally, being an introvert myself.

Not for me! Even with obvious, cannot miss cans on my head, people insist on talking at me. I glare at them and slowly, deliberately remove the headphones, then stare blankly. It takes them a while sometimes to get that I didn't hear what they said. Then, when they start up again, I last as long as I can stand, then put my headphones back on. Goin full "moody teenager" on them makes them fuck right off.👍

[@CuteCatsofIstanbul]

At all my previous jobs, I'd have lunch on my own in a far away break room. I'd take the lunch tray from the cafeteria to this place, so in my mind I was being a loud introvert 'look at me walking away from you all to be alone because I'm an introvert!' A few people would come in, say hi, sit down, read their book or eat their food in the corner. Perfectly fine. But others .... they'd come and sit next to me, with their sandwich and drink, and they'll start talking ... eating loudly ... talking ... drinking loudly ... talking more, while I'm there begging in silence for them to leave me alone because I'm recharging here, leave me alone!

Constantly. I get on an empty bus, sit out of the way, leaving plenty of open space for others, and the next people on the bus sit all around me. I sit in a different place each time and it still happens. Reading a book with headphones on? Guess that's an open invitation for others to start talking to me. When I go outside, strangers weave around other people to try to start a conversation with me. At the store, I park my car in an empty place far from the door for a quick getaway, come out to see my car surrounded by other cars. What's going on?

[@garsto9718]

I think the worst aspect of that in a workplace is that those same people that come to you with the gossip will turn around and tell the people they were talking about what you had to say. Learned really quick to just tell people dont talk to me at work. The fakeness and backstabbing drove me insane.

[@susierogers2207]

I'm an older introvert. I've always liked be left to myself even as a a child. While I enjoy observing others I have never felt drawn to engaging in the hoopla myself. Community and having friends has been a long time study and has proven to be a happiness measure. I totally get that. However I have no study except from my own life experience and with that I've found being solitary is what brings the most joy to my own life.

[@kathleenepugh9495]

[@itstheericajean]

I majored in social science. People still question it because they tell me, “ Erica! You are quiet!

I love reading books about human psychology and evolution😀

[@exposingliars9824]

It's an evil spirit. Here's another thing you can do. I hold up my cell phone and hit record and this usually stops it. They KNOW exactly what they are doing.

You were not wrong! Sometimes I'll put headphones on just so people won't bother me, but they will still ask me random questions even though they can clearly see that I have to keep taking one of the earbuds out to hear them. I think people just assume that you're more approachable when you're alone. They don't even consider the possibility that we may not want to be bothered.

[@jendrizzyy]

This is the best comment I read. Positive or negative attention, the invaders will take either one. Sometimes, the desperate attention seekers act out for me to acknowledge them. I don't owe anyone my attention, especially those who dare to surmise me as lesser than they are. I love to ignore that type and watch their reactions. 😁 My attention is mine to distribute when and where I feel like dispensing it. Thanks for your comment.

[@Kristen-og9wo]

This happens to me all the time! I think some extroverted people don't feel fully comfortable being by themselves, so when they see someone who's alone, they assume that person would prefer to talk or have company. It's a problem of people projecting their preferences onto other people. I have an extroverted sibling who basically just confirmed this theory for me.

[@MrDepodot7]

You are right about that!

[@raykelly8853]

It’s not just you bro. This happens to me all the time. It happens at work. At the store, wherever. I just dont wanna engage with anyone or want anyone near me most of the time. So I can definitely empathize.

[@iraidushka]

I can totally relate! My fellowship group doesn’t understand that it literally causes me severe anxiety to be around people. I’m not a shy person, but I’m extremely introverted and enjoy my own company more than company of people. I can socialite, be kind and friendly, but I get absolutely exhausted after spending some time in the circle of people and naturally want to retreat into my own space. People get angry at me and think that I’m arrogant and how dare I not to desire to be a part of their group and share my life with them. I’m viewed as a person who is incapable to fend for myself and make my own gosh dang life decisions. And then the pity, the feeling of sorry for me if something going in my life not quite according to their own understanding of things. And people treat you like that, especially if you are single and have no kids. It is irritating, degrading, humiliating at times to made feel like I must rely on peoples emotional support. I refuse to submit to peoples perception of me and rather be by myself at this point in my life.

[@exelmans8855]

Why having a fellowship group to start with? You don’t need it it’s an illusion.

[@gnphoenix1]

I think people sense that there is something interesting and different about you, your vibe, so they will do pretty much anything to try to get your attention, just to find out what it is about you that's different. Sometimes they just want to be in your presence and will use any excuse to do so. Sometimes your awareness alone can attract people to you, magnetic-like. Could go deeper and say it has something to do with your aura, an energy-like field which others can feel and want a taste of, or want a piece of it, kind of like sucking it away from you. Be very careful of people who you don't feel you need to be around, they can seriously drain you and change you. I know. No matter how much you ignore them. Stay sharp, we'll figure this out.

Living in Manhattan, anyone who randomly yells at you, "Yo!"..."Hey, yo!" or anything of the sort is NOT worth talking to, believe me. It's usually someone that wants something from you that A) You don't have, or B) You don't want to give them.... or even C) Is NOT the kind of person you want to talk to anyway. Best thing is to pretend like you never heard them and keep walking...Besides, what kind of person yells at random people "YOOOO!!!" like we are supposed to be all happy and enthusiastic and respond because you don't know how to properly address someone? Right out the gate you're someone I don't want to talk to

They think you think you're better than them and you don't want to talk, no matter if you're humble or a complete asshole or somewhere in the middle. If you don't keep up small talk and pledge your allegiance to them or their group they'll do anything to test your patience. I'm not looking for respect or validation, I'm tired of these social dynamics, sadly that's how the way life works, it's a little too primal for me. that's why I'm moving to the middle of nowhere in my own world.

I have a shirt that says, "Don't talk to me".... That's your warning right there.

You reacted okay in all 3 situations, I would even go more rude. The thing is this: it is the way of nature. All organisms are in a constant mode of preying on weaker ones.

Being an introvert/loner I see more clearly how other people really NEED to socialize....like, REALLY need to...like they need air to breathe or something. I usually try to avoid eye contact as much as possible when I don't want to socialize at all, or I give one word answers or purposely try to be very boring so they won't want to talk to me anymore. Or I bring someone else to the conversation and then leave so they can talk to each other instead of me 😅

rants are great and satisfying.. a relief for viewers too

[@TimothyWard]

Thanks!

[@object1ion]

Its the worst when it seems like people just come up with nonsensical questions JUST to talk/bother you (like the bus question). Some people just HAVE to fill the silence and seem to really enjoy targeting introverted people, ugh.

[@MsMaxinejoy]

9:25 You've done the right thing. Don't roll your window down for anyone. Protect yourself. You owe no one anything!!

[@taiyaedwards3021]

You are just so funny 😂. The way you express everything is funny. Btw, fellow introvert here. I need to work on giving off the I don’t want to talk without being hostile energy.

[@anonm221]

It's even worse when you live with extroverts or people who can't fathom not talking all day. Im manifesting moving out this upcoming year because it happened to me today, i want to be left tf alone and my parent keep saying random stuff just to talk and then proceeds to say other family members are coming over ughhhh I DONT WANT TO BE BOTHERED! People aggravate me sometimes and its crazy because im sweet as hell but when i get in my moods of not wanting to talk AT ALL....LET ME BE GODDAMN IT!

[@naimahfaatin]

You're never wrong lol. I know you're being serious but this video genuinely cracked me up! I think like this all the time but don't want to come off rude. It's rough out here for us.

[@darrenpalliaer8928]

Watching from Australia again Sir. I swear if you repeat this story on stage at a comedy club you'll be a hit. Your funny af😂😂😂

[@w1ldthin9]

you know whats funny Tim, how much of an introvert ive become since i stopped drinking. i think ive always been this way, hence why i used alcohol to be extroverted.

[@garsto9718]

Alcohol = forced enthusiasm

[@blessednbeautiful1]

As an introvert I truly understand.🙂

[@DNA350ppm]

The covid-restrictions worked great for me! 😀 BTW the definition of extraverts is that they need their energy coming in from hte outside. Introverts get exhausted by interacting with their outside world. So extraverts have no energy to share if they don't pick it up from somebody. Introverts have their own dynamo inside - perfect targets for getting a recharge from, those who haven't own dynamos think. The worst extraverts lean over your book and asks your opinion while you are reading it! Extraverts are not aware of what they are doing, they are like childish in this respect.

[@audie-cashstack-uk4881]

Cycling walking hiking totally alone it was bliss

[@MarkFrancisco_354]

No you're not wrong I understand what you mean. I be in that mood all the time. Most of the time people don't have anything I'm interested in hearing. Why can't they move on and find someone else who actually WANTS to talk?

[@rochelleking_]

Greetings Tim, from one introvert to another I can truly relate. Can be annoying. You did nothing wrong. Peace and love

[@jeanah685]

There are people who i think are afraid to be alone with their thoughts. And they resent others NOT being afraid to be alone with their's.

[@artdogg50]

Man Tim I don't even know, but I swear that's me. 😂 Apparently I'm just not allowed to mind my own business no matter where I go. Could be 100 people in the place and I swear the fixation always moves my way. 🤦🏿‍♂️

[@jaynemarie81]

This video cracked me up. I also get so irritated by people invading my personal space. AND I think it is rude when people just yell, 'Hey!' and expect you to look up - my name ain't hey! If you don't know my name, don't be bothering me 🤣 But seriously, maybe God is reminding us we have to deal with people sometimes??

[@CrummyVCR]

Its a POWER dynamic. If you don't want to talk to people they autopilot think 1. you think you're better than everyone else. or 2. They see you as weak and want to exploit whatever they can from you, be it time, resources, or whatever. I've noticed whenever anyone tries to confront me if I beat them to it and either speak before them, or directly after stating (basically back off or not interested) the problem resolves itself. I really urge you you try it. It changed my whole approach to interactions. Example: If you know a homeless person is going to ask you for something, ask them first something that pertains NOTHING to do with how they are doing but more so like " Whoa did you see that plane that flew by.?..(or whatever, make it up on the fly ) ans keep walking ...Usually that is enough to stun the auto prompted "Excuse me can you spare..."

[@exposingliars9824]

I now hold up my cell phone and record them when I see them coming.

[@MrEliaspalacios6]

No matter what you do there's always someone who doesn't like it. I'm an empath an extrovert and I love people but I can tell when people don't want to be bothered and that doesn't bother me.

[@sergiovalenti7255]

I discovered this channel recently, I feel like I found my home. I would have responded the same way to all 3 scenarios towards the end of this video. 😂

[@AuricDial17]

“He starts doing the look around” 😂😂😂😂 lol so true

[@robertbelliii7048]

You are right. It happens to me all of the time. I just moved to longmont, Colorado. They do not like newcomers here. I retired early at 60. I am also about to have surgery. They are angry because I took early retirement. One man yelled at me for just sitting in the park.

[@zachdonaldson4848]

That guy has a problem!

[@ericshawnthompsonjr.510]

It’s like people got the ENERGY to get into our business but can’t even worry about their own! No hope for humanity anymore. Just hope only for people who respect us doing our thing that’s it! We have our own bubble. People just FUCKING POP IT!! “Treat people the way you wanna be treated” includes personal space!

[@JMachien]

It's the same for me. In most cases, it's negative attention. In the past, I tried experimenting with adjusting my appearance (hairstyle, clothes, shoes, etc.) but that didn't make any difference. These days, it's a constant quest to find different places where I won't be bothered. No one place works for the long term, so always have to be searching for new ones. I love your videos :) Thanks for posting :)

[@mosescross163]

The timing of this video is so on point.

[@nakmuaydave]

As an introvert, I totally agree with what you're saying. But I think that extroverted people genuinely feel bad for anyone who is alone as they themselves would feel lonely. I do get irritated when approached especially during my zen moments, but i think it's usually coming from good intentions. Still irritating nonetheless 😂

[@nubiadandridge7231]

This was literally me yesterday morning. Just tryna get from my home to the grocery store and back, on foot as a single woman, almost felt like walking through a mine field cuz i promise you, before my time of the month, i be ready to BLOW UP and pop off I REALLLLLLY do not have the patience to be polite about thirsty dudes lurking with nothing else better to do but lurk. and they be f**kin forceful and overt. Polite = Political, Rude = RUDIMENTARY. I give myself permission to let my attitude air out right before my cycle bc it really be the drunk ones who are bored that will bother you JUST TO BOTHER YOU. But alas, woosah. namaste, namaste my ass over here cuz they're really not worth my peace of mind

[@thelabandtheyork4031]

Earphones on or off have always helped me.

[@MrAgradutsaha]

Me too i am introverted and people always wanna talk rude shit or something or whatever.. then i keep minding my own business but they dont understand. I am a good human being.. but damn people nowadays r u know very rude & sometimes friendly but too friendly i dont wanna be.. like its strange times they kinda give advice which i dont welcome & that kinda shit..

[@exposingliars9824]

I see alot of people thinking quiet people are dumb. It's the narcissists. They are projecting their stupidity.

[@RainesJade]

They do it to everyone. You're dealing with drunks and people that have lots of problems. You're someone they haven't seen before so they're going to test the waters. Good for you for not rolling down your window. Stay safe.

[@mateaukalua4426]

Everyone ignores save for homeless people, addicts, gay people, and old women. 😂😂😂😂

[@fireguy96]

Because we're basically like exotic creatures, all graceful in the moment while they're chaotic. And it's conflicting

[@demond5961]

I completely agree with you Timothy!👍🏿

[@susanhannon7596]

Your analysis of the situation is perfect. Fellow Introvert here. ❤

[@alvinanthony2070]

Hey Tim, you are absolutely right. Some people would asked me what time it is ? Others asked me how to get to a certain place. Many people asked me questions that they already know. I would tell them as the bus driver. Others would just start a conversation with me and keep on talking non-stop. Small percentage of people would asked me "what do you do"?

[@ashleyiz2008]

100% agree. I started saying "I don't know" to random questions because I'm relentlessly bothered by strangers asking for directions, information, etc.--sometimes it works but other times they'll persist in asking; I even had this one woman say "I don't believe you" when I told her I didn't have directions for her. It's mindblowing, like take the hint and leave.

[@MaggieG70]

Thank you for bringing this up!😊I am the same way though I have been married 50 years and have 6 kids! I love my husband but I am so glad when he leaves the house on errands and I have it all to myself. The kids all know you are not coming back this way. Keep you a place. And yes we all get along good and love each other.😂

[@teemadarif8243]

😅

[@rickynunez3109]

So I used to be very extroverted but do to circumstances I've been forced to become more introverted. But yeah, I do get bothered by people who don't mind their own business. The way I see it I'm so used to having my personal space. I don't like sharing it with others because I may just associate those people to negativity. I prefer to be around positive, uplifting and supportive people. Just like you. Tim, we as humans dislike foul things. We step away from them and we usually move more toward pleasant things and feelings that make us feel good

[@magnefficientgaming4327]

still a extrovert just mature

[@smf427]

Maybe you’re an ambivert 😊

[@magnefficientgaming4327]

impossible infp@@smf427

[@Brijustmeh]

This happens to me all the time! Like when I’m out in public doing my own thing and random people just get too close to me. Like, do you not know what personal space is? It frustrates me because I’m just minding my own business.

[@clayfranklin1282]

I like being alone a lot. I've learned that people who are way more social then I, I feel sorry for them because they are probably sad , not happy in their minds, have problems with their alone time. I believe it's close to mental pains. So I believe their magnetic vibe picks up on those like us for comfort talking to us so they don't feel alone

[@andradeb2695]

Yup same thing happens to me but sometimes its the opposite of friendly its usually people trying to stare me down for odd reasons or maybe they are just intimidated of my presence idk. No matter where i park there's usually people going around me or parking next to me im like WTF!? Mind you i also have tinted windows how do they know im in my car? This superpower of sensing people's energies is ALIEN to me are these people human or part alien? Are we in a Matrix? Dont get me wrong im not a A-hole ill help people if they tell me clearly but if you stare me down then we have a problem

[@exposingliars9824]

It's an evil spirit harrassing introverts in the land.

[@etekac710]

I remember one time in Riverside, CA there was a guy sitting with other people in a fenced-off dining area (outside eatery) and he just started yelling "HEY!" I just kept walking like they didn't even catch my ear. People can be annoying!

[@50plus_withYvette]

😂🤣 This is all so funny but true. Why? I haven’t fully figured out why these situations happen to us introverts.

[@krissy_elle]

I hate when I'm minding my own business then some annoying person says something stupid to me. I look at them like they're stupid and then they proceed to state what they think I'm feeling, which is literally never correct 🙄 they try to figure us out but never can and never will.

[@veganpajamas4211]

introvert here. my thought is that some people like to push buttons on the different because either theyre jelous or just wanna see if they can get a rise out of ya lol.

[@devin5312]

I’m the type of introvert that pretends to be on my phone to keep people from talking to me 😂

[@wiebkescantick947]

I think they do it because they think we're shy, timid, and an easy target.

[@Wellziee]

Being an introvert quiet and having autism I can relate. I like my own space, peace and stress-free lifestyle.

[@ymotechnopopfan]

Same.

[@NB-yu4lj]

I’m convinced America hate introverts
