Spreading awareness of the needs of introverts is a public service. If more extroverts are willing to divert their attentions toward more receptive quarry it will be a benefit to all involved.
I don't talk to strangers unless it's someone who is the spitting image of someone I care about "you're the spitting image of a nice person I know from school/work/visiting the library. Are you related to...?" Otherwise I don't like to talk to strangers. And even with the doppelgangers, I prefer to skip the small talk.
As an introvert, I can relate. I'm up at 4am for 5 hours of silence and alone time, before the wife and dogs intrude, and I must...speak. I grocery shop at 6 am to avoid "crowds". Recently, I read a comment in a YT video about introverts: when I speak to somebody for an hour, I need to be alone for the next 24. My wife finds this strange, given that I can do public speaking to hundreds of people and think nothing of it. People often think that shyness and being an introvert are the same. Nope.
So true. I am a hyper-introvert but also quite performative, it makes people really confused when they first meet me and then later on they can't get me to talk to them again. They think I hate them but really I'm just in recovery lol
As an introvert one of the most romantic things my husband can do for me is when he notices I’m missing something or my meal is wrong and he just quietly goes to get it for me. 🥺❤️
Every now and then, as I’m ducking between racks to avoid someone that I just don’t have the energy to talk to, I find myself wondering “How many people duck *me* ? How can I let them know that an up-nod and a ‘Hey’ is perfectly fine with me?” Introverts can be highly pleased to see someone *and* not really want to chat. A big smile and heartfelt “Hey, girl!” are really all we need most of the time.
I'll admit that there have been times when I've seen people I know in public and have diverted course to avoid having to interact. It's not even people who I don't like. It's just that I was not expecting to have to talk while I was out is all.... :p
Slo-mo on the HOA president chasing her prey had me laughing so hard with the description of high knee high elbow and showing the closing gap between them!!! 😂😂
Lolol this is so relateable😂 my husband and I were just last night laughing at footage we got on our porch camera of me sitting on the porch reading and then bolting the minute I thought I hear the neighbor’s car (nothing against them, but I was in relaxing mode and didn’t want to talk😅)…I was inside in 3.4seconds 😆😆
😂 I like my neighbours but I’m alone for the first time ever overnight and everything! So I really don’t want to see anyone but I need to go outside. The back and forth I’m doing mentally is exhausting
Brought so much joy as usual. But I love the style of this video, Penn narrates it like an episode in Discovery Animal Planet on Kim, the introvert human species 😂
Aghh seeing people you know in public, when you don’t know what level you’re at with them, is awful 😫 and that silence thing is so true, I sat outside on my lawn for three hours yesterday and just read my book with no one around, it was ✨divine✨
I think the difference between an introvert and an extrovert is we both enjoy immersing ourselves in a book but after three hours, the introvert looks for the next solitary experience and an extrovert looks for someone to talk with about the great book they are reading.
@@holdernessfamilylaughs Recently I took a cue from a young family member who is on the spectrum... someone was yammering on at me and I just said, "I'm done listening now" and walked away. It was empowering!
Imagine being a introvert who ended up working as a sales associate in a small store. And still giving off those retail vibes to folks who need help. Especially a introvert who is also on the spectrum.
THIS IS SO ME! You captured our personalities perfectly. I have hidden in grocery aisles when seeing someone I didn't feel like chatting with. I see them.....then quickly back up....then move to the other side of the store.
This is almost my day to a tee! Get up early, enjoy the quiet… become exhausted by just interacting with the cashier at the grocery store… recharge by walking alone… assuring my spouse she will have a much better time at social events without me (she’s an extrovert & in the know, she gets it). We have a great balance, introvert married to extrovert works out well for both. ❤
I was an extrovert when I was younger, mainly because my job demanded it and the money was good. Now I never want to leave the house unless I’m being dropped directly into the solitude of nature. I just need a very long, empty hallway to the nature.
I feel you, because my husband is such an outgoing talkative person, it's easy to just let him take the lead when we go to parties, I sometimes don't say anything to anyone other than simple greetings. So amazing.
@@lauramcclain8651 pro tip: Always pick the table with the talkative person. All you have to do is nod and make "I am listening" noises. Takes all the small talk and carrying the conversation stress away 👍🤣
I can imagine Kim and Penn going to Target and Penn having a full fledge conversation with a Target employee, and Kim already in checking out! 😊 Edit: thanks for the likes 👍 😊
I've always considered myself somewhat different but not antisocial and now you are helping me understand I'm not the only one who is into my solo journey in life and it's very comforting to know I'm not crazy just quietly happy with my hot coffee . Thank You.
Reading "Quiet" made me finally feel as if someone saw me for who I was. I love people--being around people exhausts me though. And small talk--I just don't get it.
3:08 The wig really hid the identity of your Midwestern Neighbor... And talking without the accent! Almost thought it was someone else! And the serious expression in the outro! 😂😂
At least it wasn't the grunting jock. Who assumes that due to him being male and Kim being female. That he has to mansplain how to 'use' that item of equipment 'properly' in his view.
As an introvert, I was shaking my head when the venture capitalist took the machine right next to her when the gym was empty. People should understand the rule that you only take the adjacent machine if it is only the vacant one (same applies to bathroom stalls and subway/bus seats). Otherwise it is creepy and I want my space away from people 😊
@@fancynancy2888 I will plead guilty, I look for an introvert when I am in a gym. Gym time is Me time. An introvert will leave me alone AND will NOT have a “quiet” phone conversation while working out. 😁 Best is being in-between to introverts. I am guaranteed my desired Me time because neither of them is interested in conversation.
When I'm on my walk and people have the audacity to be outside near me, the way my heart starts racing and I quickly look down or for ways to avoid them, terrified they'll say hi. I'm exactly like a deer in a field that hears a noise.
I know this is supposed to be a funny sketch, but there is a total difference between being introverted and being anti-social and having social anxiety. Introversion is, by definition, a typically reserved or quiet person who tends to be introspective and enjoys spending time alone. Not one that hides and can't be in a social situation. I'm introverted, but I can pretty much talk to anyone, I would just prefer to be by myself more.
Completely relate to you Kim. I've just spend most of my day on the lounge & when I did push myself to go do food shopping (did contemplate whether it was necessary or if I could try be creative with what was left in the fridge & pantry), I had the ear buds in the whole time.
🤣🤣 Totally agree and understand, as I'm the introvert. I try to stay out of the wild and in my natural habitat. I would eat in the car. The loud people at they gym are so annoying. I love the "you're doing your husband a favor, you owe me" trick. lol
Tips for shopping for introverts. Go to the store as soon as it opens, and on weekdays as there are far less people and most of them are introverts. Make a list based on the layout of the store to ensure you are in and out as quickly as possible. Be sure to purchase enough to last you at least a month to limit the number of trips you have to make. NEVER make eye contact or smile at other people. This is often interpreted as an invitation for them to engage. Develop your “Don’t F*ck with me” look in case you accidentally make eye contact. Use the self checkout lines to lessen the chances of being trapped in a line with other shoppers. Use the scan and go app if available so you can skip the checkout area altogether. Park close to the cart return so you don’t have to walk to far to return the cart. Return home, unload your car, lock the door, and begin the process of recovering from being out in the wild. 😊😂
when she was on the couch sighing in relief at the end, I was waiting for the kids to come barrelling in. :) Only thing that could have made this better. GREAT job guys!
This was hilarious! I specifically relate to the getting up before the family so you get some alone/quiet time. I get up two hours before everyone each morning so I can enjoy my coffee and watch MY tv shows before I wake the house up and help everyone get ready for the day. If not for those 2 hours I'd never get to watch my shows. lol
I was late to the grocery store today (because of a "small" bicycle race in my timezone) and I was almost alone in the store! That actually made me very happy. I had to queue behind the two others that decided to pay at the same time though, so the happiness meter sank a little bit. But then I bought one of my favorite fast food dinners, so it went up again.
That’s your best video yet! Nice touch with the British Voiceover! As an introvert, I feel so seen with your videos. As I was watching this video, I got a text from an old friend “Come see me at my party tomorrow! It’s going to be great!” Let’s look at repertoire of excuses for introverts: do I go with “prior commitment” or that I don’t feel well? 🤔
My husband and I love your videos, even though he still can’t get your name right. To him, you’re the Holdersons 😂 Thanks for bringing a laugh and a smile to our week. ❤
The restaurant thing is so true. I can't stand to get a server back over to tell them something is not right. As long as I'm not allergic to it, it's probably fine 😂
I am a weird combination of introvert and extrovert. I can talk to strangers, but after a half hour I need to be alone for at least two hours to recover. The introvert half usually rules, though. I once went on a two week vacation by myself and didn’t speak to anyone. At all. I was glorious.
I'm fairly introvert (I was an Only Child), but I do like a good chat with good friends/interesting people. What drives me spare is BORING people... who don't know they're boring 🤪. Great video - as always.
My neighbor across the street likes to hang out in his front yard. He opens his garage door, gets a chair and just sits there. (He has a perfectly fine backyard. I don’t know why he doesn’t sit there!) if I’ve been out and am just getting home I often tell him I have to pee so I don’t have time to talk. He probably thinks I have bladder issues! 😆Great video! And so true!!
I would rather small talk with a stranger than have to talk with an acquaintance. At least the stranger small talk can be less than a sentence where as an acquaintance you’re more likely having to answer to the horrible question of “what’s new with you?”
I tend to self-edit when asked that question. "Well...I could tell him about this one thing that happened or this difficult thing I've been pondering...but he's not going to find it interesting like I do, so that's not a good answer. What else can I talk about? Think!" And it comes out as, "Oh...not much. You?"
🤣 so funny and true! I'm going to have my husband watch, maybe he'll understand me more. I was working at my desk near our front door the other day and someone rang the door bell and I ran to the other room...he was like what are you doing?🤣
Sunrises are the best for me. No one else is awake or around for 3 hours, just me, a drink, some gaming and my diary on whatever equivalent of a balcony I have at the time. Bliss.
Kim I so feel you with this video! I’ve done something similar at a store when I see someone I know but don’t want to talk to them! Lol! Also, I love my husband, but I do enjoy it when he is not at home and I have the house to myself! 😂😂
I've gotten really, _really_ good at keeping just out of someone's line of sight without being obvious about it. It's lead my brother to accuse me of being a ninja on more than one occasion, but of I don't have to make awkward small talk, I will take it!!😅
Introvert here. I only go shopping on the average once a month. I love online shopping for various things. And not all introvs hate conversations. I end up having one during physical therapy. As well as with my social worker and counselor. Since I'm a sahm. I get at least four hours a day of me time. As well as try to get an hour of it before going to sleep. I'm also on the autism spectrum. So if it gets to be too much. And this only happened once for over stimulation, a meltdown. Makes me wonder if there is a difference between a introvert meltdown or a AS introvert meltdown.
Relating! So that's why I get up so early in the morning 🤔😁😁 I liked that u didn't say " End Scene", slapping ur hands together. I hope that was constructive criticism 🥰🥰 Love ur channel!!!!
I've been stuck at home after a car accident, in the country trying to defeat sadness and the only thing that has helped has been yalls viseos. Thank you
People that talk crap about self-checkouts really don't understand us. "I'm not an employee," "They're not paying me," "I'm not trying to do their job and not get paid for it" etc. They really don't see how self checkout is one of the greatest things to ever happen. 90% of my trips are through the self-checkout and it's beautiful. I only don't go through it when a place doesn't even have it.
I am an introvert, but I don't wake up super early for peace and quiet. I sleep in until everyone else has left the house, and then I hang out by myself the entire day 👍
As an introvert, I can't tell if I'm being validated or called out. I'm good with either.
Spreading awareness of the needs of introverts is a public service. If more extroverts are willing to divert their attentions toward more receptive quarry it will be a benefit to all involved.
Just so long as we don't have to talk about it, right? ;)
😂omg this comment. 😂( as if the video wasnt perfect enough!)
Mostly validated. I'm about to put this on my facebook account the video that is.
As an introvert myself I felt something ...recognized maybe 😅🤭🎉👀
Being exhausted by being out in public is so on point.
I need to decompress and recharge.
I try to understand but it's hard. A quick conversation with a stranger invigorates me. At least I learned to respect people's personal space!!
@@CheleBoxy - You get points for accepting "I'll see you around" as the end of a conversation.

Agree. Your public speech is planned and rehearsed and then you are out of there. Spontaneous conversation is a lot different.

Yup, my mate is an introvert . That is exactly what she does.
Car eating is the best.
💯 eating in the car or driving back to my natural environment to eat in peace
I have to weigh “do I want to have to interact inside, or risk choking alone outside” sometimes😆
In a big parking lot far away from all.the other cars!

I absolutely put in the AirPods when I go to the grocery store. I’ve also been known to duck my head into the freezer section to avoid a conversation.
takes planning, right?
I’ve done that SOOOOO many times.
I will cross the street to avoid talking to someone I know and like.
This is the funniest video of all time 😂 I invented not talking 🤣
So relatable! Introverts need that time to recharge. We aren’t always shy exactly but socializing drains energy! Love my quiet time

This video was awesome. Penn's British or Australian accent is so authentic. It sounds just like National Geographic nature documentaries.
I didn’t know I was an introvert until I read “Quiet” by Susan Cain. Changed my life. Best defense mechanism 📚
Reading "Quiet" made me finally feel as if someone saw me for who I was. I love people--being around people exhausts me though. And small talk--I just don't get it.

Tips for shopping for introverts.
Go to the store as soon as it opens, and on weekdays as there are far less people and most of them are introverts.
Make a list based on the layout of the store to ensure you are in and out as quickly as possible.
Be sure to purchase enough to last you at least a month to limit the number of trips you have to make.
NEVER make eye contact or smile at other people. This is often interpreted as an invitation for them to engage.
Develop your “Don’t F*ck with me” look in case you accidentally make eye contact.
Use the self checkout lines to lessen the chances of being trapped in a line with other shoppers.
Use the scan and go app if available so you can skip the checkout area altogether.
Park close to the cart return so you don’t have to walk to far to return the cart.
Return home, unload your car, lock the door, and begin the process of recovering from being out in the wild. 😊😂

I am a weird combination of introvert and extrovert. I can talk to strangers, but after a half hour I need to be alone for at least two hours to recover. The introvert half usually rules, though. I once went on a two week vacation by myself and didn’t speak to anyone. At all. I was glorious.
I am an introvert, that was spot on! Love it!
I’m a very social introvert. Love people but they exhaust me. I’m often tempted to just wear a sign that says “please ignore me, I’m not really here”
I'm fairly introvert (I was an Only Child), but I do like a good chat with good friends/interesting people. What drives me spare is BORING people... who don't know they're boring 🤪. Great video - as always.
I have a co worker like that. 30 minute long stories of absolute torture..
I'm an introvert too, but I would have gone back for the baguette.
I can so relate to this video. I try to avoid people just because I don’t want to make small talk.
At 53 years old, I only like to go out with family now. I'm done with fake lunches with others. Boring. I don't want to be fake anymore.
My neighbor across the street likes to hang out in his front yard. He opens his garage door, gets a chair and just sits there. (He has a perfectly fine backyard. I don’t know why he doesn’t sit there!) if I’ve been out and am just getting home I often tell him I have to pee so I don’t have time to talk. He probably thinks I have bladder issues! 😆Great video! And so true!!
Kim was great in this video. Penn Attenborough was great too. Keep on bringing the great videos. Thank-you.
I would rather small talk with a stranger than have to talk with an acquaintance. At least the stranger small talk can be less than a sentence where as an acquaintance you’re more likely having to answer to the horrible question of “what’s new with you?”
I tend to self-edit when asked that question. "Well...I could tell him about this one thing that happened or this difficult thing I've been pondering...but he's not going to find it interesting like I do, so that's not a good answer. What else can I talk about? Think!" And it comes out as, "Oh...not much. You?"
@@kynn23 haha yes I do the same😂
OMG!! You've been following me around, and this report is really about my life. 😂
You got us lol
Other than 2 phone calls and talking to my cat , i spent the entire day in complete silence. It was great!
Love this one. One of their best. Pen’s faux nature documentary commentary is spot on and hilarious.
We need one of these for an extrovert! Love this so much!!
Kim is my spirit animal!!!! 💗
I was actually fist pumping at the idea of getting four hours at home alone and ive lived on my own for more than 3 years now
🤣 so funny and true! I'm going to have my husband watch, maybe he'll understand me more.
I was working at my desk near our front door the other day and someone rang the door bell and I ran to the other room...he was like what are you doing?🤣
I always run too. Unfortunately I have a young child who likes to ask at full volume "WHAT ARE YOU HIDING FROM MOMMY?" 💀💀💀
The fact that they acknowledged introverts speak “nature documentary narration” just solidifies this whole video for me ☺️
“Jag-you-ahh”. Music to my ears!
I hate the fact that people confuse being introverted with being shy or not liking people but this was pretty funny
That was more Social anxiety in the wild. But hilarious tho..
I feel this!! I get anxious in public and crowds make me feel like crying. Give me my nice, safe home any day.
This is too funny. Love the narration. It’s spot on Penn.
Sunrises are the best for me. No one else is awake or around for 3 hours, just me, a drink, some gaming and my diary on whatever equivalent of a balcony I have at the time. Bliss.
Funny AF! A lot of these only apply to introverts with anxiety though, my husband and I are introverts without having those issues thankfully lol
Introverts without anxiety exists?!
The beginning where the camera comes up over the houseplant was * chefs kiss *
Kim I so feel you with this video! I’ve done something similar at a store when I see someone I know but don’t want to talk to them! Lol! Also, I love my husband, but I do enjoy it when he is not at home and I have the house to myself! 😂😂
I've gotten really, _really_ good at keeping just out of someone's line of sight without being obvious about it. It's lead my brother to accuse me of being a ninja on more than one occasion, but of I don't have to make awkward small talk, I will take it!!😅
Penn doing a perfect Davis Attenborough and Venture Capitalist Guy. 😂
This was epic and wildly good, pun intended! Also the Jag-u-ar pronunciation was pretty funny. 😊
My coworkers, "Why don't you ever come out with us for happy hour?" My thoughts are my "happy hour" is being at my house being left alone.
Absolutely amazing and incredibly accurate!
Introverts everywhere thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Love the narrative voice and this is so funny
Introvert here. I only go shopping on the average once a month. I love online shopping for various things. And not all introvs hate conversations. I end up having one during physical therapy. As well as with my social worker and counselor. Since I'm a sahm. I get at least four hours a day of me time. As well as try to get an hour of it before going to sleep. I'm also on the autism spectrum. So if it gets to be too much. And this only happened once for over stimulation, a meltdown.
Makes me wonder if there is a difference between a introvert meltdown or a AS introvert meltdown.
Relating! So that's why I get up so early in the morning 🤔😁😁
I liked that u didn't say " End Scene", slapping ur hands together. I hope that was constructive criticism 🥰🥰 Love ur channel!!!!
Thanks for the feedback 💛 enjoy your quiet time this morning!
I've been stuck at home after a car accident, in the country trying to defeat sadness and the only thing that has helped has been yalls viseos. Thank you
🤣❤️ I love Pen narrating. The best...Pen you need to do voice overs
As an introvert in the South--so relatable. 😂 Thank you for sharing!
I didn’t give you permission to make a documentary of my life.
So sorry you had to find out this way!
@@holdernessfamilylaughs thanks for the laughs. ❤️
People that talk crap about self-checkouts really don't understand us. "I'm not an employee," "They're not paying me," "I'm not trying to do their job and not get paid for it" etc. They really don't see how self checkout is one of the greatest things to ever happen. 90% of my trips are through the self-checkout and it's beautiful. I only don't go through it when a place doesn't even have it.
😂😂😂
Again so relatable ! And Penn’s voiceover was on point !!
I am an introvert, but I don't wake up super early for peace and quiet. I sleep in until everyone else has left the house, and then I hang out by myself the entire day 👍
Yo… Not sure how I feel about Penn revealing all our secrets for navigating the wild! How will we now survive? 😂
You guys have hit it out of the park with this one. Alltime favorite.
