How to interact with the introverted : Link

Basically, be honest, get to the point, and be responsible.

and don't take silence as an insult...

Cheers Mate

This means that they naturally find most interaction exhausting....
just a low tolerance for stupid bullshit.

exactly.

toronto is full of extroverts
vancouver had a lot more introverts
i miss being around people like me.....

Great post, OP.

i wonder if introverts are "more secure" than extroverts...since intros give and extros take.

any thoughts?

intro.... extro.... are you writing a script or some shit, with someones life in the middle

that would be the climax....or apex of the story line

the extro is the conclusion

the intro is the setting...not the scene/s...

are we not the authors of our own lives?

but to answer your question, i merely abbreviated the terms...

if i have to spell it all out for you, i gladly will.

it's my life that is in the middle here, so it's "intro"spective.

Obviously they are if they dont need to be surrounded by people 24/7.

Extroverts are very insecure.

They need to feel important as they have a very low level of self belief.

You can see these people go to pieces in times of extreme stress.

more self justifying so more balanced.less highs n lows imho.
there's just no reason to talk all the fucking time.[thats what the internet is for]get that shit out.in time it might click that no one gives a fuck.one observation,extroverts are terrible at reading body language,and introverts can be so conscious of their body language that it looks like they have a nervous tick or something.watch the eyes!!!see a pretty girl in the street=stare at the pavement.

Finally, a guide I can hand out to people who want to get
to know me.

thanks... this little article puts things in a simple perspective for those that get aggravated with our outlook.

please share it with whomever you can.

wave a sausage in front of their face, works every time.

"sausage" has many different connotations where i'm from, so please be more specific...

I go into a daze when I'm in Toronto. Cannot stand it, any of it. Not my cup of tea for sure. Introverted farm person, TYVM.

Nice post OP.

Yes, I was indeed before I was placed on a gangstalking list.

That's the only problem with being an introvert especially a woman.

Your isolation or lack of social connections "so to speak"
make you an easy target as you have no protection.

So being an introvert can definitely have a negative side if you are unfortunate enough to attract the attention of the wrong people. Your whole life can be ruined fairly easily.

here's a simple test

[link to www.theguardian.com]


You scored 20 out of a possible 20

You have a tendency towards being introvert. The higher your score, the more introvert you probably are. The nearer to 10 your score is, the nearer to being an ambivert you are (yes, there really is such a word). But even if you answered every single question as an introvert or extrovert, that doesn’t mean that your behavior is predictable across all circumstances. We can’t say that every introvert is a bookworm or every extrovert wears lampshades at parties any more than we can say that every woman is a natural consensus-builder and every man loves contact sports.

As Jung felicitously put it, “There is no such thing as a pure extrovert or a pure introvert. Such a man would be in the lunatic asylum.

lol OP i got 19/20. are we really that different? i wonder what the percentage of introverts to extroverts is.

bump (not too loudly, I am an introvert) for later.

Perhaps there is nothing left to say.

20/20

I can put on the acting mask and be around people for a length of time, such as in a job or family event. But then I have to go home and crash.

My family refers to it as going home to my cave. Just me, my pets, and the tv/internet/good book.

If I could just find a way to make a living without having to deal with people, I could live quite happily in a cabin in the woods where it takes a 6 hours drive to see another human being. (As long as I can get internet.)
