[Just Dropped In To See What Condition My Condition Was In]

Ack and I hate small talk.  ?Hey! How ya doin!? *talks my ear off*

BABY, I really don?t care.

Sometimes I think ppl think I?m mean as fuck cause sometimes I?ll just legit be silent.  I don?t have the energy. And it really depends on the day if I feel like being bothered.

I?m really the nicest person ever though.

!!!
I think it's because most people are not as empathetic as they think they are and just have a basic understanding of social interaction and body language. They think: silent = stuck up, neutral face = mean face etc.
I've had people from work coming up to me asking "are you ok? everything alright?" and I'm like "Yes, everything fine", but thinking "Sorry I can't be an always happy and laughing loud mouth, if that's what being "normal" is...

!!!!!!!

Omfff

It legit kinda STEAMS me out when ppl ask me that.  Like can a bitch just be SILENT. Like, I don?t KNOW you nor do I wanna get to know you.  It?s like people get offended cause u didn?t acknowledge their presence or something. Oh well.

!!!!!! I?m always giving when people ask me dumb shit like that. Like leave me the fuck alone.

Lately I've noticed people falsly using the word introvert to describe themselves. Like RuPaul and Oprah. I mean, I don't know them personally, but I think a real introvert wouldn't be able to do the things they do.

Well Michael was an introvert as well and he still did his thing.

Some people are able to "perform" for whatever their job/career requires, but when they are at home, etc. they could be quiet as a mouse and not wanting to go clubbing and mess.

We did a personality test at my job for fun and my managers were really shocked that I came back as an introvert personality, cuz they feel as if I'm the life of the office.

But my best friend knows how I am down to a science - when I don't know a group of people, I am extremely quiet. Based on what I've heard, that sometimes leads people to believe I am something I am not (stuck up, too good, etc. ) But once I am warmed up to them, I get very warm and friendly.

Yes, but if it's 50/50 like with Michael, then it's neither introverted nor extroverted, IMO. It seems like a balancing method to cope with their job that has to do with being around tons of people.

I mean, it's not a competition of who's more introverted , but someone like Oprah saying "I'm introverted" kind of takes things away from people who really spend weeks or months being alone and being fine with it PLUS hating being in crowded places etc., if you know what I mean.

 I?m extremely introverted. I just hate social situations period.

[Scott.]

In a sense I am, but I'm cool with most people. But even then, I don't wanna be bothered. Like if I'm strolling through Wal-mart with some jogging pants on, a wife beater and a pair of dark shades, ion feel like being bothered with talking to your ass shit.

Yeah, there could be different levels to it.

Being in crowded places creeps me the fuck out.

It's one reason I put music to the side - I'd never want to perform in some hot, overcrowded club. And that's something you kinda have to do if you're making club music.  I had to really come to terms with the fact that even though I love music and the creative process, I am not a "performer" personality.

I'm a textbook INFJ.

Being real with myself helped me to go into another direction with the app. People always come to me for advice and inspiration . I'm a giver down.

My best friend hated the fact that I disliked walking through big crowds. Like at the mall, I become tense when I'm around a lot of people at one time. If I hear people laughing as I walk by, I get defensive. But that's because of my childhood.

Yea... I'm very social and I've learned to enjoy it, but it doesn't "energize" me like with extroverts, unless it's in an environment of interest and comfort.

Sometimes, I feel like being social is like a chore.. like maintenance for a relationship. I often go and do things with a friend, not because I want to, but just because I care and want to maintain the relationship. And I think that's why it can be so draining for me at times and I need that time to recharge.

Twin kinda hit it right on the fucking NAIL. I hate casual conversations and conversing with people that I don't really care about. For an example with work...like bitches can I PLEASE just heat up my fucking food or grab a coffee in PEACE without having a forced ass conversation?

[b7]

No way

I could never comfortably claim that term because I?m too ?outgoing? i suppose. Of course i have my moments where i crave nothing BUT solitude and i absolutely love it when i can retreat to that at any given time, being an only child. I?m used to being able to do that.

I grew up loving my own company and being able to entertain myself BUT i also loved all of my friends and different groups that I?d hop in and entertain as well. Just being wild, imaginative and outspoken. the class clown too which always got my ass in trouble. Afro and i would?ve been a fucking MESS, torturing students and teachers from class to class

When i experienced depression in my teen years (not knowing what depression truly was at the time) that?s when i became this shy/timid fellow that was completely unrecognizable to everyone that knows/knew me at that time. I was a loner my first two years of highschool

Now I?m back to where i was as a child from like birth to age 12. Not a full extrovert really, but certainly not introverted by any stretch

[b7]

But it depends

I wouldn't necessarily say i'm introverted because I love people. I go through periods where I don't wanna be bothered for days at a time though.

!!!! Woo! Don?t get me wrong

Those days revitalize the hell outta me   but typically when I?m in a happy go lucky, and peaceful space i WANT to share it and be around other positive, genuine people and talk about everything imaginable

[Navyman]

I do, absolutely. I've been living and travelling mostly alone in Australia for the past 7.5 months and came to the conclusion that that's just the way I am. I used to feel kinda guilty for it growing up, cause people kept telling me, directly or indirectly, "open up more! smile more! make more friends!" and that's still embedded in my brain. I usually hate large groups of people, parties, or just loud places (except for concerts, cause there would be a purpose of me being there) and I feel more comfortable in places where there's barely any people.

Oprah and Rupaul would be considered ambivent. That's a combination of extrovert and introvert. Which is were I fall.

I see what you mean

That?s why I?m very careful with claiming that like i said in my first post. That, and things like anxiety that seems to be the new thing everyone wants to say they legit struggle with on a severe level

I?ll get on twitter and see it a LOT and I?m like ?i don?t think y?all really know what that is or what it entails?

Ive experienced some of these things but not on a high level, and to my core I?m likely smack dab in the middle overall when discussing introverts/extroverts

OMFFFF!!!! That's me!! 

My friends and family have ALWAYS said that I'm very moody and have "ways", but I never realized until pretty recently. Its just when I don't get my time to recharge and get away from everyone, I become very irritable and emotionally disconnected. I'm very friendly and outgoing and a good listener, but sometimes I just don't feel like being fucking bothered. My roomie told she can sense when not to bother me.... I don't think she can though.



One time I was so drained and THROUGH that she asked "are you even listening?" and I flat the fuck out said "I'm really not..." like girl, can I just come home n collect my OWN thoughts first n get UNDRESSED in peace?

Whew! But that's another conversation for another day. Lol

And I appreciate that you keep it real.
I don't know why people WANT to have a struggle or want to put themselves into a "different" category to be edgy.

Yup.
