Thank you for touching on this topic. I once made the mistake of trying to “include” an introvert in a casual group conversation. She stated exactly what you said. She didn’t feel like she had anything to contribute to that part of the conversation. I learned a valuable lesson that day. Some people are just content listening.
That's me in a nutshell. I find general small talk very boring, but what makes it interesting for me is to observe how others find it energising, and musing over body language in relation to statements that are casually made. I find body motions fascinating, so that's how I would typically enjoy myself in such a setting. I definitely observe more than I participate!
Being alone doesn't really bother me but I do have a very strong desire for family, friendship and intimate relationships. It's a desire almost as much as eating. I see people all over the world of all different ages, cultures, social status that have friends, family and connect with others. I get so depressed at times because just like a neutered dog I just don't get it. I just don't understand why it's impossible for me to get what people everywhere get so effortlessly. And I've put myself out there and tried but all my relationships end the same way with them abandoning me. I don't even try anymore. I've pretty much resigned myself to my fate
I'm an INFJ, and I can be either an introvert or ambivert depending on who I am around. I am not anti-social, I am selectively social. I am definitely an HSP. That's why I can only tolerate other people's energy for so long, I can only handle their emotions in short stints. Subjects of interest will keep me engaged, small talk is the bane of my existence. I NEED my alone time for my sanity and recharging.
Thank you for explaining me so well! My dad and all of my ex-boyfriends are very extroverted and none of them understood me. We always had people at our house for cook outs, stay overs, etc. because my dad loves an entourage and it would drive me nuts as a child!!! I wish this video had been available when I was a teenager so that I could educate people in my life about my needs. It wasn't until my early thirties that I realized fully what I am and that there wasn't anything wrong with me. Thank you for another clear, informative, helpful video!!
I am so impressed with your mastery and the way you relate such deep and meaningful and varied topics to all of us out here. I am so grateful to be on the receiving end of your teachings. Much love and gratitude for your brilliance and mastery.
Excellent presentation. I’m in introvert/anxiety . In grad school for psychology. Yes , highly empathetic .it is draining and exhausting. Yes , decompress helps. Yes, I hate small talk. but interesting conversation’s or in Depth I prefer . I prefer being alone most of the time . I prefer one on one .
Its because its to much feeling. I feel everybody's feelings. And then I feel like I have to make everyone happy. Dont make anyone upset. . Thats why it makes us so tried
Doc Snipes, your video sessions are such a good reminder of all the things I spent 2+years in therapy learning about myself and about how interact with others. Thank you very much for your time and keep up the wonderful lessons. Much love.
I greet you well, Doc Snipes, as a first time viewer, it delights me to have discovered the gems of your teachings. Thankyou for your illuminated content. I have happily subed and hit that bell.
Quarantine didn't bother me too. I think I'm an introvert and avoidant because of traumatic experiences. What about my anxiety in telephone? I needed to take propanolol just to do phone calls for work. I don't know what therapy should I do to overcome this phone anxiety.
Thank you for clearing this up.. introverted and sometimes social when in the mood but I’m not avoidant as I thought… I feel good within and like ppl I just have to be in the mood lol
THANK YOU WO MUCH, your God sent. I am going through avoidant personality. Do you have any other videos on how to treat avoidant personality types, I would really appreciate it!
Oh this is so helpful.. thank you.. 🙏🙏 I am like your husband, I don't mind people , but am perfectly happy being alone sometimes, and small groups other times... with the covid situation, it didn't bother me at all to stay home... 👍😃👍
As an introvert I feel on edge in customer service when dealing with a hectic weekend especially when the customers make a mess of the case and I’m expected to bounce around and multitask in an already understaffed environment trying to make the place look presentable esp when everyone is on edge (coworkers) to not upset unkind upper management lol
AvPD, we exhaust socially in our masking, anything social is a threat because anyone could know you and reject you. To us it’s automatic because of our self loathing.
I always thought i was an extrovert until a life changing event. Maybe it changed me? Or was it just that I have always been putting on an act wanting to be an extrovert but i was always truly an extrovert? I guess I’m a little confused about myself. Marriage, betrayal, isolation made me more comfortable being alone. I recently took the mbti test and it says I’m a INFJ. It surprised me but when i read into it, it definitely resonated with me as well.
Im introverted but more on the extroverted side. I dont like deep conversations as i find them draining. I would rather talk about many different things for a short period of time. I also tend to avoid people although i do initiate contact. I do tend to withdraw as well. I like being in groups but dont like talking much id rather listen. I couldnt spend all day with one person. I go for talkative people, quiet people freak me out as i dont feel comfortable around them and i dont like talking about myself. I prefer talking about hobbies and interests but nothing personal. Im not that trusting. I also have Social Anxiety but its not as bad as it used to be.
Oh cool. Thanks. I think I’m just a classic introvert. Lol. Good to know some of these traits are so very “normal.” 😬 I think what I hate the most is some chaotic, noisy environment that is so annoying, interrupting and distracting. Lol. And PLZ do NOT speak to me before Ive had my coffee. 😅😅
We cant talk about introversion and extroversion and not acknowledge energy as a contribution. Listening IS a contribution, one's mere presence IS a contribution. Any therapy group or addiction recovery meeting knows that. It bothers me to hear you put your stepdads listening as not contributing, which also devalues listening. It was very much a contribution. Without words, we can be more aware of the energy exchange that is very much happening, and is a contribution, and is valuable. You would think in a post pandemic world having a person that listens and is present would be more valued.
8:28 after moving through childhood anxiety i realised im kinda a social introvert - number 7 / the penultimate point i seem to want to know a lot, but about a lot of things. whoops, it's on the verge of impossible to keep up that level of knowledge ahh haha
Avoidance Personality Disorder is a fear that you will discover our inferiority worthlessness, and am terrified of that. So we have a expectation of doom in social exchange, you will auto reject us the more you know us!
I am disappointed, I was expecting an explanation on the difference between avoidant personality disorder and social anxiety, but instead I simply heard that introversion is a very broad and general spectrum of temperament, not a disorder. That's cool, but I have a disorder and I'm confused about what to ask for help with 😂
Autism and introversion are distinct concepts, each with its own set of characteristics. Autism is a developmental disorder that affects communication, behavior, and social interaction in various ways. It is a spectrum condition, meaning it can present differently in each individual, with symptoms ranging from mild to severe. People with autism may have difficulties with social communication, exhibit repetitive behaviors, and have a strong preference for routines. They may also have unique strengths and differences in how they perceive the world around them. Introversion, on the other hand, is a personality trait characterized by a preference for quiet, minimally stimulating environments. Introverts tend to feel drained after socializing and regain their energy by spending time alone. This is not due to a developmental disorder but rather a natural variation in personality. Introverts may enjoy deep conversations and have a few close friends rather than a wide circle of acquaintances. They are often introspective and may need downtime to reflect and recharge. It's important to note that while introverts may find social interaction exhausting and need time alone to regroup, this is not due to the same reasons as the challenges faced by individuals with autism. Introversion is a way of interacting that is common in healthy, empathetic, compassionate people and does not stem from a developmental disorder. In summary, autism is a developmental condition with a wide range of symptoms affecting social interaction and behavior, while introversion is a personality trait where individuals prefer less stimulating environments and may need alone time to recharge. Both can influence how a person interacts with the world, but they originate from different causes and have different implications for the individual's life and relationships.

I hope she was still included in other conversations. We do not contribute much but we still want to be included.
