I don't know about any of you, but I cannot stand when people who consider themselves extroverts feel that they have to "adopt" introverts into their friend groups and show them how to be the way everyone is expected to be. Or the assumption that introverts can't make friends without extroverts. We need less forcing of introverts conforming to an extrovert world and more encouragement for introverts and their alternate ways of doing things and enjoying life. What are your thoughts on those kinds of statements made about introverts?
Extroverts get a rush from being around people, and they can't understand when others don't also want that. For all the time they spend around others, they are often blissfully unaware of other's points of view. From their point of view, they are just trying to give others what they want because they incorrectly assume that everyone else wants the same thing.
It's because of the misconception that introversion and shyness are synonymous. I'm not shy at all. I just choose not to engage.
@Listener59 I could have written what you just said. 100% agreement
Actually, for me, a large group is anything more than one person. If I'm talking to someone and another person walks up and joins the conversation I will remove myself . I don't have a very loud voice and people tend to talk over me, which drives me crazy
Fuck those assholes....I love shy people just the way they are.....the so called extroverts are just aggressive bigots....psychobabble bullshitters....from your post it appears you are a good listener and remember well their impudence while you gave them honorable patience they don't deserve........I hope no Atheist here is pissing on your page....sexist pig boys you try their manipulative messages upon you should be blocked without warning....I do whenever the creeps show themselves on anybody's posts....fire away at them if you want to blow off steam but you decide at your own pace when or if you respond
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink. Efforts such as what you describe may be well intentioned, but are ultimately going to fail because they show an inherent lack of understanding on how introverts interact with their social surroundings.
I find those who talk the most , have the least to actually say , they just enjoy talking over the ones who know more .
Amen ! (Can an agnostic say that?)
