Are you an introvert in real life? - Page 4

That's true, people aren't all the same just like animals. We all have different needs & values. Personally, I feel the most alone when I'm in a crowd. Socialising just saps all my energy which I then have to recharge by spending time with myself. Fortunately, I am able to put on an amiable facade with people. Somehow I hate the noise coming from all different directions in crowded situations too, And I hate having to fill in silence with trivial, empty words. What's so 'awkward' about silence?😕

Anyways, ditto on the travel, animals & nature point. I have a soft spot for (natural) beauty also. I even jokingly told my parents I want to join a Buddhist monastery.🤣

I would do it...but I have to give up on delicious food which is impossible.

Its like looking into a mirror .. If not for the comforts of the modern life ( i cant give up food or sex 😆) , i would have ran off to the Himalayas or some place quite with abundant natural beauty ..

That's my plan.😃 I want to attain financial freedom and pay off all my student loans first and then retire early to the Himalayas or somewhere similar. Modern life can go and take a hike.😛

yes i am, i can't bring myself up to people like my friends. i have even broken with some of my besties. we were childhood buddies, our story matches ridiculously with a crime story that came on a TV show Gumrah.

I came back to my hometown and saw my buddies all grown up, now they have boyfriends, they would regularly taunt me for not having around and not having a boyfriend. It's not like I'm not good looking but in these circles I realized how important is to have a gf/bf to maintain friendships, your friends care about their partners. For sometime, I did try to fit in but it did not work out. After a point, I accepted myself and told my friends very clearly that this is not who am I and can't change. I am introverted and I like being that. I do like meeting people but not the way you guys do. Screw you and your bf's. Spare me this horror. and we broke up.

this story was shockingly identical to one of the stories in this crime show. the difference here the girl goes on to ask a guy in her building to be her fake bf in front of her friends. She doesn't know the guy's a pervert. he does what she asks him but after that he regularly harasses her and tortures her showing off her friends that he is still her bf. Things reach to a point where he rapes her and in a fit of rage she kills him off with a dagger.

Not at all.... I was shy in my teenage but now I am as chirpy or as silent as situation demands...

Ambi.

I make acquaintances easily. I can make introvert people feel at ease during our first conversation itself.

But i do not like talking too much. I like being alone. Or I like being with people who do their own thing while i do mine. I like the silence.

I don't know. I can talk to people in real life when I want to, talk to strangers, etc. I can converse with everyone generally but I am bad at maintaining close relations. With friends, with relatives, everyone. Also, I hate crowds, parties, gatherings, etc. So, I don't know what to call myself, extrovert is a no.

Big time extrovert.

-----------------------------------

Every Myers Briggs test and its likes I have taken have classified me as INFP or INTP. So I am pretty sure I am introverted. I am a pleasant sociable person, but there are very few people I actually consider friends and want to hang out with. I do prefer solitude. I am not shy, but I am awkward.

I am an extrovert!!! And I spend a lot of time on social media!! I don’t think your assumption holds true to many!!

And thats my problem in a nutshell .. Building a rapport or talking to people ( on a need basis ) is never an issue for me .. In fact i can be quite charming when i want to be.. But I tend to drift apart and sometimes this happens after i give people the wrong impression that they mean a lot to me .. There's nothing more i hate than the showdowns between me and the people i gave wrong impression to / whom i consider normal unlike me ..

I have problem saying no. Also starting conversations with anyone who is not family. overthinking everything I do and say. It gives me depression and headache.
