Mom: Sun did you assists to your class this morning? Me: Uuh, yes i did Translator: What he means that he not, because he's to afraid to be screen captured while he's doing a dumb face, causing his class teammates laugh of him about a week, so he will just ask later for the homework and he will doit normally. Mom: ... Me: ... Mom: Who's this guy!? Edit: I try my best write this, sorry for my bad English xD.
“Does anyone have any questions?” My translator: “Yes, thirty, but he doesn’t want to ask them in front of the whole class because all these people will silently judge him forever for asking a dumb question, so he’s just going to ask somebody that looks like they were paying attention after class is over in order to minimize the potential for anxiety but you can rest assured that as soon as he understands what to do, it’ll get done. Thank you and good day.”
Matthew Wright I've been going around telling people this as it seems to be a common misconception so basically people generally don't care to judge you on anything you do and if you mess up people might snicker but no one really cares about it.
me: "I'm so sorry I'm late!" translator: "I'm late because I didn't want to come so I was doing random stuff at home to avoid coming here, or at least come as late as socially acceptable, not because I don't like you but becase I didn't feel like I had enough energy to interact with other people."
@@annachan8151 Our entire education system does us introverts no justice....Only to those smart, extroverted people who want to answer every question in class.....*sigh
my teacher: "so everyone's ok with presenting?" me: "yeah, ok." my translator: "please no, i've said multiple times i'm uncomfortable with presenting things in the past, why are you like this? why do you do this to me? don't make me do this-"
As long as I practice intently I'm fine but I basically have to memorize everything before I present. Gotta practice socialization so that it is basically an automated process. Otherwise I super overthink and stumble over my words.
A professor once gave me a choice: I could do a easy presentation in front of the class or take a very hard test. I chose the test, barely passed but I dont regret a bit.
I managed to convince a teacher once to give us papers instead of taking tests because I'm bad at those. I also convinced another teacher to let us write papers instead of presenting our information orally. I wasn't popular with the others in those classes, but I got A's in both. lol First teacher I had an in with because our fathers had gone to the same university, at different times. Second was because she saw me stumbling through a paragraph and knew I couldn't do it. I remember them both fondly.
As an introvert with GAD and DPD/DRD, I was terrified of talking in front of others through presentation or answering simple questions. Legal and illegal substances gave me some courage so in my mid 20s I decided to attend trade school but I was still terrified of what I might do/say if called upon by the teacher. Oh and I forgot to mention that math damn near paralyzes me. Anyway, the teacher loved me because I was a good student and respectful. One day she asked me to give an example of RX formulas and how cross multiplication is needed to determine accurate medication dosages. My classmates said I turned bluish-green around my eyes/mouth and face looked like pallor mortis. They all knew I had issues and could feel my terror. I didn't want to disappoint this teacher due to previous bad experiences so I went to the board and followed her instructions while explaining the formula. I got everything correct and my classmates applauded as I returned to my seat. Since then I knew I could finally do things that my family had always told me I was incapable of. We have to pick and choose our battles and thankfully many teachers nowadays see that some students need alternatives and they offer it. I just wish I'd had more teachers like that while in school versus the fuck heads that were no different than my family.
@@michellegriff13 I'm glad to hear that you got to face your fears. Just wish people were more empathic to you. I was terrified of talking in public, and still am till a certain degree. But it got a lot better.
could be wrong on this but I think teachers and professors are paid to push you out of your comfort zone. Thing is, some of us literally are never comfortable to begin with, so there's that issue.
Seriously!! I lived this exact scenario in college. When my prof saw the tears welling up in my eyes he said if I raised my hand one time I could get the full 40% for class participation. The next day he threw me a softball question and I got an A in the class.
@@heidi9645 I'm glad that teacher realized it was hard enough to raise your hand, and rewarded you for it. Too many just can't understand that it is hard for some of us. We are participating, just not verbally.
“He’d rather write a 30 page research paper every week then say a single word in front of his classmates” As someone who chose to write a 15 page research paper instead of dancing in front of my school for two years, I feel this.
@@snehaaggarwal39 I’m from Brazil, and here we have Festas Juninas, which are anual celebrations, and it has a lot of stuff including dance. so literally every school here commemorates it and every student has to dance in front of the whole school and it counts points for PE. as everyone where I study likes those parties, they all dance and celebrate, and the few who don’t want to just write 15 pages research papers on whatever the PE teacher asks
@@logan.loguito ohh okay. I didn't know it was different in Brazil. I could never be able to dance in front of everyone. Omg why is that even a requirement for PE. That is so stupid! I'm so sorry you have to go through that😔 I'd honestly write the 15 essay too 😂
Me: Im so bored My Translator: She actually wants love and attention from the people she considers friends and is hoping by saying she is bored that her friends will suggest something they can do together so she can temporarily ignore the inevitable thoughts of depression and anxiety that will resurface when they leave
I teach at Uni level; this is not comedy, but dramatic portrayal of actual conversations had with real introvert students. Hopefully, no introverts were harmed during this re-enactment.
we always prefer written communication :) our brains are working so fast that the language department can not cope with it, so we are just stuck during a conversation. however, we have tons of stuff to tell. you can tell your students to write to you. they can explain their thoughts and feelings better this way..
@@anneyamann5859 Also - and let's be honest here... a lot of us have extreme social anxiety, or asocial tendencies which have caused us to develop very fast typing skills.
@@anneyamann5859 yeah, it's not like I can't go talk, I would just not rather thought because it's awkward and no one listens to me anyway; and it's hard to keep my thoughts at the same speed as I can talk in a understandable way
@@Ollie-trolley I checked the thing you said to know if I have that disorder, everything seemed to point that way, but then one symptom came up that just completely showed that his points and adhd are not related, talking too much or having hyperactivity(the symptom), so I don't think it's ever gonna be relatable to an introvert. So the points he said and ADHD are not related at all, you don't need to have those problems to be an introvert but it's just the majority. And I don't get why many people take being introvert or extrovert by the battery theory(or symptom, I don't know what else to call that, it's the one you were talking about) there's way more stuff to make sure which one is you(introvert or extrovert), that theory is just a part of many behavioral patterns, just a basic one among the many other important stuff
Actually, one of the best teachers I ever had in college used to say this 2 or 3 times a week. "Is anyone so confused they don't know what question to ask?" and he'd patiently help us put the question into words, and answer it. I became a school librarian, and this is something I did regularly. Easier now, because you can give people a cover: "Oh [some kind of technology] can be so confusing."
Oi Felix Come here brooo sometimes people can judge you for minuscule things but the hard truth is that a lot of times they really just don't care and even if they say something that implies a negative judgment of you it is probably just an offhand comment they they will forget that they even said it ten seconds later.
All in favor of Frank James being the Official Introvert Translator, give a brief thumbs up before quickly retreating to a quiet space that is free from human contact.
The extrovert: *trying to convince the introvert to socialize more* The introvert: *waiting for someone to understand and accept them just the way they are*
@@Convoluted-and-Exiled i hate karaoke, not only because of the fact that im an introvert, but also because of the fact that i hate my voice with a burning passion. i hate it, i wish i could be mute.
@@kaloric Please don't take this the wrong way, but then.. Why not? If you hate your voice and there's nothing you can do to be comfortable with it right now. Why 'not' be a mute/the quiet type? Where is it required you have to make yourself so uncomfortable for others? There are ways to still communicate, if that's what you want to do. I say screw conforming to society. Do what feels right for you. and maybe talk only when you really must or feel up to it. Ya know? Till you feel differently. But this is my own view based merely on what you've disclosed of course. Point is it should be your choice.
Teacher: "Introvert, you're the best student in my class. Why don't you talk more? I'm sure everyone would benefit from your insight!" Introvert: "I don't talk because I'm learning. I don't give my opinion or insight because I'm not teaching. That's your job"

@@bigbig-g8l And that's where the birth of TOXIC FRIENDSHIP and LOVE... (breath deep in and sigh)...Ah yes...The smell of filthy "Today's Modern Society" air...
"hey, wanna go to X?" My translator: "No, but I do appreciate the fact that you consider me enough of a friend to invite me to such things, please continue to do so."
And what if it starts saying all those answers we were happy we didn't say because they were totally wrong although we though they were 100% correct? That would be quite embarrassing let me tell you that.
LOUDER. On a side note, most of the times I have the correct but never tell it out loud and when someone else say it, I'm always like "dang, I'm the boss" but quietly, I'm weird.
@@chaoticbreeze6262 I believe we have a little misunderstanding here. -- You think the answer is correct, thus you're cool with being called out at the moment, you might have even considered raising your hand, but then after someone else answers it you find out that you were totally wrong and feel like you just dodged a bullet.
I adore how he seemed to contradict his translator to be more socially acceptable but thanked him at the end. SO ACCURATE. Where can I find my own introvert translator?
find and ambivert. that's what I did. a mix of intro and extroversion means he can translate for both sides. he's actually explained stuff to other people about me and explained stuff to me about other people. comes in handy when there's a pure extrovert around and keeps the personality conflict at a minimum.
"He'll say one generic fact about the book at the start of each class, and then he'll turn his brain off until it's over". Man, I have never related to anything so deeply.
People: "Why don't you speak?" Me: "Oh, I just prefer not to." My translator: "While that is true it's also because I don't want people to judge me and they will all think I sound weird and everyone is going to think I'm stupid if I get the answer wrong, they're all going to take time out of their day to laugh at me." Also people: "Are you ok?" Me: "Yea I'm fine!" My translator: "Please don't talk to me or make eye contact with me, thanks."
See I'm a introvert but the reason I never talk is like I dont usually have anything I want to say and small talk is so difficult because I try it and then run out of topics to discuss and theirs a awkward silence and it makes me feel like I should say something but I have nothing to say and then they look at me waiting and I look at them waiting and AHHHHHH. I scared myself.
@@darthnut7089 me scared to talk at the class when there is a teacher or answer the question everyone just going to laugh when made a simple mistake then i would say who fuckn cares but I can't say that lol and i don't like talking much because like i think every move i do what will happen when i talk like that.
Actually I am one of that. And it turned out I am INFP. Made test 3 times different days. My extraversion just changed from 10 to 40% and I am still can quite easily talk with ppl, specially if I like them, but I PREFER to be alone most of the time anyway)
Right! Like, easy for them to say. We operate differently from nonintrorverts so stuff it? They don't know the mental struggle we go through and now they have the audacity to dictate what we should feel and do? Their shoes are different from our shoes.
See, I’ve got both. My voice either decides to become a cliche hulking lumberjack man with a scratchy throat or it becomes the pitch equivalent of a fangirl squeal. Even my regular voice is weird, so honestly whenever I talk it’s probably very unpleasant to listen to.
Because our current society is build mostly by extroverts, dear! We're just starting to use translators and assign the "mix" or "educated & truly social extrovert" type of people to communicate our requirements for functioning or even highly contributing to society! 😝 We would either die early, be wives to wealthy and overly busy extroverts or reside in shrines/monasteries/convents in the many ages before! 😂 Or.... you know..... have wealthy donors depending too much on our nerd skills to not bear with our "odd attics". 🤣 But in the age of internet, impersonal, voiceless written communication has become a place where most people are, extroverts retreat to pictures, videos and short communication while we leave essays without the fear of stuttering and the leasure to scroll past any uncivilised rude "grunting" that extroverts spread in a stress reaction as they're faced with complex and valid backed up argumentation. 🤓 (Please note: This comment is a joke. It's partially true yet the mean bits on extroverts are not how I see extroverted people. 😘 Thake those bits with a grain on salt. Or two.)
Depends on the class but pretty much everything you do will require communication, so knowing how to talk to people about the topic is very beneficial. Not 60% though
Someone: "So, would you rather (option A) or (option B)?" Me: "Whichever. I don't mind." My translator: "He can't answer that at this time because his mind is currently in a death spiral overload trying to simultaneously: 1): Run a full analysis of the pros and cons of both options, incorporating potential problems, his enjoyment of said option, and how likely he is to do something embarrassing and feel totally humiliated for years to come. 2): Read your mind, because he's terrified that if he chooses the option you want to do least, you'll hate him and think he's stupid, and 3): Look for any and all exits and potential escape routes, because right now his social anxiety is screaming at him to get the fuck out of dodge, run back to his room, and hide under the bed for the rest of the day.
Teacher: Why didn’t you share during class? Me: I just didn’t feel like I had anything to contribute to the conversation. Translator: This is a lie. You see, in his head, he was thinking of all sorts of nuanced opinions to share, but every time he had finished planning out exactly what to say, the conversation had either had moved onto a different topic that wasn’t entirely relevant to what he wanted to say, or he simply got too nervous to talk, thinking he might interrupt someone who was also eager to speak. Whatever the case, this lead him to completely forget whatever he was about to say in order to come up with an entirely new talking point.
Everybody Thinks I’m an Extrovert Because I Talk a Lot,But in Reality,I’m Absolutely Terrified of Other People,&,I Don’t Really Know How to Shut up After I Start Talking,When I Talk It’s Really Just me Thinking Out Loud to Myself

@@stellaeclipse6242 honestly same. I'm really quiet until you find something to make me talk about... In which case, prepare yourself for the f*cking bible I'm about to tell you. ...Then I feel bad because I was leading the conversation without even knowing and think the other person is annoyed because I didn't let them talk.
You do realize... you're the friend right? Extroverts find us then keep us like these weird purse puppies that they show off for the benefit of other extroverts.
At Subway “What would you like?” “The club as-is” “He wants a 6 inch club with provolone and tomatoes but nothing else but since he’s afraid of getting the order wrong or holding up the line he just takes the normal club and deals with the extra toppings to draw minimal attention to himself in the hopes everyone in the room will forget about him”
Friend: How are you? Me: ahhm, ...good. My translator: With that he actually ment, that he's really doing well and just doesn't know how to answer this question, because he's afraid of your opinion and he couldn't process your reaction on his answer anyway. He also doesn't wanna say too much about his life, so that you can't judge him or hurt his feelings by answering something that is not harmful in your opinion, but could be harmful to your relationship to him. So next time you meet him you should better say something that can be answered with yes and no, so that the entry in the following conversation is easier for him, or make him a compliment which boosts his selfesteem which he definitely needs! After that the conversation may go on normally, depends on how interesting the topic is that you will start talking about now. And that where just the first 5 seconds...
"that's your whole answer?" "yes sir I couldn't think of anything else to say" "actually he has more and better answers in mind but didn't feel like saying it because he is only capable of speaking 10 words at a time"
My introvert translator: oh you were talking to ME? I never talk and am not friends with you so I didn’t expect you to ask me a question or make a comment, I just assumed you were talking with one of your popular friends cause no one ever talks to me. Quite surprised that you actually approached me.
I got a 0 in my oral mark once... I think no one in my school managed to achieve that before Edit: btw 0 is the worst mark and 10 the best in case u use a different system in your country :))
My introvert translator: Oh, sorry, but I don't even know what you were talking to me, because I was just thinking about some stupid shit I did 10 years ago that made so embarrassed Edit: 2900 likes, how is this possible😮 Thanks
Me: Oh yes absolutely, I should pay more attention. Translator: She meant that she didnt even pay attention to what you just said because she zones out and hopes that this was the answer you wanted to hear. But she still promisses to at least try to look like she is paying attention in class.
Third person: Was that video relevant to you ? Me: Actually yeah! It was quite relevant! (With an embarrassing smile) Translator: Yeah! That is too much relevant to me but it doesn't mean I am enjoying this nature. At times it just sucks. It may seem funny to you but it actually is not! It's not always fun to be the odd one in group of friends. It just drains me out! I will change this nature of mine asap and try for it every minute and will emerge into a powerful personality one day! You got it!!!
totally me at uni, paper due at 5pm Monday, I start writing it around 2pm Monday, always in the computer room in the professor's building to save time on commuting to get the paper into his pigeon hole

Anyone: Hey, do you want to.... My translator: I’m sorry, we require 29 weeks notice on all planned social interactions. How else do you think “Christmas in July” became a thing?
"Why don't you talk much? Just speak your mind!" Me: Its just not my thing... Translator: If I spoke my mind, half of my speech would be incoherent screaming at the prospect of speaking at all! Also, the other half would be a mix of explicit vocabulary and rambling ideas, and lemme tell you, NOBODY wants to hear all that. Edit: Me: This blew up, uh, thanks for liking it... Translator: First of all, where in the actual- Me: NOPE! Translator: -Did y'all come from!? There's 2,000 comments, why y'all staring at this one? This is way too much attention, someone give me a blanket so I can curl up in the corner already! Me: I-I don't... Translator: Shhh... *whispers* Thank you for the support y'all. He needs to process people noticing him for a while.
*someone talking shit about their friend to me* me: "yeah.." translator: "she thinks you're a horrible person for saying these things about someone who thinks kindly of you, but she'll never say it to your face because she's too nice"
This thing with the elbow touching is so weird. Why can't we just friendly nod to each other or bow slightly, most cultures in asia never did it differently.
@@ma14.27 I wonder if the whole bowing thing started because someone didn't want to touch another person because of possible disease? I can see some uppity noble demanding a poor farmer to bow their head for that reason... The population density in Asia has always been very high compared to the other parts of the world.. Maybe some ancient genius figured it out and it spread among the educated (which was high society). I googled it.. can't find when it started, it probably came before written history.
I legit failed for 15 seconds trying to give a professor a handshake once. I'd put it up, not think he'd notice, put it down as he put it up, we went back and forth for a while.
I love that someone else is this unsure of human interaction but now I also have this new nightmare in my head to catastrophize over anytime someone wants a handshake
As a neurotic introvert who must function in an extrovert world - this hits it dead on....I totally need an introtranslator except that may add onto my anxiety of saying something that in my head works but once past my lips sounds like a toddler came up with it....Just like this. Kudos
"Rather write a 30 page research paper every week than say a single word infront of his classmates". Wow that just explains my whole school life in a sentence.
I am ENTJ but i really like watching those kind of videos and accumulating knowledge on these topics it is helpful to be able to recognise what is type of someone's personality and next you can behave right related to it.
"So what did you do in the weekend?" "Ah you know, the usual" Translator: "you ask me this question every single god damn Monday, I did the same thing i did last week, and the week before that, and before that, I set in my bed on the internet, eating whatever I had that was easy to make, and if I did something else I just don't wanna tell you about my life"
YOU GET IT. YOU. GET. IT. I hate when people ask me this question. Like no I haven't done anything new, no I wouldn't tell you if I had, no I don't wanna hear about what you did, please go away
The phone call from someone you speak to rarely "What's going on with you." And despite the 1000s of things that might be going on in the months since I last spoke to the person what comes out is "nothing much."
Is it bad that that's how I am with my therapist? 😅 He always asks me that I always say the usual or nothing really happened but if I had a translator that's exactly what would be said. Except it would be Thursday not Monday.
Aren't we so lucky to have these TH-cam videos and these relatable comment sections for expressing ourselves... --- an introvert who is happy to hear people like her
@@chaussurerl7312 Ehh. I'd actually disagree here. You'd need someone with complimentary cognitive functions, not just the "E" to your "I" 😅 That being said, ENFPs are kind of naturally good at picking up on what people actually mean (in my experience...unless you're an ISTJ) so they'd be perfect for the job.
Prof: Is sakiro here? Me: *Raises hand* Translator: By that means he doesn't want to say "present" because his popularity in this school is rather below average than any other students in here, and doesn't want any judgement applied on him, because it's in his nature to be just silent. So, stop murmuring about his low self-esteem and just be nice. Not everyone wants to be like you, no offense.
Meanwhile I'm the guy everyone hates for no apparent reason and even if i went to a different school it doesn't change even if no one knows me like I have some kind of aura that makes me hated by the world Unless I'm with social outcasts then I get along with them like butter and bread
"Why don't you talk much? Just speak out your mind." "Uhh..o...kay?" Translation: "Well, yes, talking is just speaking your mind out, but this girl over here's brain is just going crazy right now at all of the possible answers to your question, and is secretly cursing at herself because she stuttered AGAIN and used "uhh" AGAIN. And even if she did speak her mind she'd basically be just screaming incoherently and also panicking like a 3 year old little girl who has no clue where her plushie is even though it's right on the counter in front of her, and she'd also be screaming passive aggressive sentences to anyone and everyone around her. And nobody wants to hear all that at the same time, right? Well she has to. You don't want to either. Please don't talk to me anymore. Thank you."
No one asks me to speak my mind anymore, because they've figured out that 1: I'm extremely opinionated on everything but the important stuff. 2: I'll probably ramble on about some mathematical or technical problem, or I'll overanalyze something that normal people don't give even a first thought. Regarding number one, to me, this is actually a joke. If something is important enough to have an opinion on, then it's important enough to have an open mind on. But none of my associates seem to understand this. If I have a strong opinion on something, I'm probably feigning it in jest. That, or I'm hung up on some technicality.

My teacher: I'm tired of hearing my own voice, would anyone like to read? The class: *Silence* Me: I guess I could... My translator: Actually, they are silently praying that you don't choose them. They volunteered solely because they felt secondhand embarrassment for you, and couldn't bear the suffocating silence that followed that question. If you pick them, they will read to be respectful, but afterwards they will shut down due to the immense flood of anxiety and overthinking.

@@azearaazymoto461 Introverts don't have to be shy, but often are because they usually get less practice in social situations. Thus, the two traits are so connected people think they are the same thing.
I am an introvert-- I prefer my own company to everyone else's and in relationships I've been known to sneak time for myself, so much so that my partner suspects I'm cheating. Shy I most certainly am not. I'll go toe to toe with anyone, anywhere, anytime. I'm just usually not inclined to bother, as it takes time away from the things I am actually interested in. There's only so damn much of me to go around and so many hours in a day.
Introversion is not the same as social anxiety or shyness. As an introvert, I find social interactions draining and solitude refreshing, but I still enjoy social interactions, and I know how to shake hands, how to participate in class, et cetera. I just manage my energy differently than my extroverted friends. Introversion is not a disability nor an excuse for rudeness.
This video is from his point of view, and a lot of introverts can relate. You're right, but don't forget there are different types of introverts. In my case, the handshake is fine for me, so I was like ??? but yeah, besides that, I agree with his translator.
@@valeriaq4270 Exactly. And in my case, if I never touched another human being again, it would be too soon. I found the video pretty on point, even the slightly rude parts so, y'know, different people, different experiences.
Person: “hey what’s up?” Me: how the fuck am I even supposed to answer this question. I don’t want to say the generic “nothing much” because then the conversation will get super awkward. And that person will judge me and probably never talk to me again.
The ceiling, the sky, say something funny. And keep doing that I guess. That's what I do, and I know it's repetitive but that's okay, not many mind at all.
I am alone but not lonely. I simply want to have time to hang out with myself. If I need some time to myself, it doesn’t mean I’m mad at my friends and doesn’t want to be with them anymore. I’m not that weird like my friends because I prefer talking than just mess up everywhere. I might not be sociable but that doesn’t mean I’m shy. People say I’m too serious to have fun, but I have my own way to have fun.
Exactly! My enjoyment seems to be from entirely different activities....which tend to be solitary ones....and QUIET ones.....reading, playing online solitaire, jigsaw puzzles, mental puzzles, etc.
As an extrovert this was actually wildly helpful. Now I can communicate with my introvert friends a little easier and help them not feel so uncomfortable.
Hello sweet person! Thank you very much in the name of (I'm sure) a lot of introverts who are more than happy with having a friend like you. Because the truly powerful mixture is still, when introverts and extroverts work together and install functioning ways of communication❣️ It's great to read you cared enough about your friend to tackle exactly that.
Person: tells me to make a simple Decision that would probably take a normal person 2 seconds to decide. Me: makes croaking uhh sound. My translator: She is either compensating how this decision will affect her in every aspect of life and what she could missing out on or regret if she makes the wrong choice. OR she kinda knows what she wants but doesn't want you to judge her decision so she's trying to figure out what you want her so say. Person: just pick a movie Anyone else. No ok😁
lol I think a lot of us are introverts with a little anxiety. I'm not sure introversion=insecurity like this but I guess its more common among introverts
I found a simple solution for the "variety" question - the first that comes within your reach, Or all of the choices. For a very immersive movie, on an IMAX wide screen, I go for the most action, since it's so breathtaking everyone forgets to talk.

“Does anyone have any questions?”
My translator: “Yes, thirty, but he doesn’t want to ask them in front of the whole class because all these people will silently judge him forever for asking a dumb question, so he’s just going to ask somebody that looks like they were paying attention after class is over in order to minimize the potential for anxiety but you can rest assured that as soon as he understands what to do, it’ll get done.

me: "yeah, ok."
my translator: "please no, i've said multiple times i'm uncomfortable with presenting things in the past, why are you like this? why do you do this to me? don't make me do this-"
I feel your pain =_=
"Every presentation you make me do is -100 I Like This Teacher points."
As long as I practice intently I'm fine but I basically have to memorize everything before I present. Gotta practice socialization so that it is basically an automated process. Otherwise I super overthink and stumble over my words.
I got lucky and got to do a presentation by making a video
*loads gun*
A professor once gave me a choice: I could do a easy presentation in front of the class or take a very hard test. I chose the test, barely passed but I dont regret a bit.
I managed to convince a teacher once to give us papers instead of taking tests because I'm bad at those. I also convinced another teacher to let us write papers instead of presenting our information orally. I wasn't popular with the others in those classes, but I got A's in both. lol First teacher I had an in with because our fathers had gone to the same university, at different times. Second was because she saw me stumbling through a paragraph and knew I couldn't do it. I remember them both fondly.
As an introvert with GAD and DPD/DRD, I was terrified of talking in front of others through presentation or answering simple questions. Legal and illegal substances gave me some courage so in my mid 20s I decided to attend trade school but I was still terrified of what I might do/say if called upon by the teacher. Oh and I forgot to mention that math damn near paralyzes me. Anyway, the teacher loved me because I was a good student and respectful. One day she asked me to give an example of RX formulas and how cross multiplication is needed to determine accurate medication dosages.
My classmates said I turned bluish-green around my eyes/mouth and face looked like pallor mortis. They all knew I had issues and could feel my terror. I didn't want to disappoint this teacher due to previous bad experiences so I went to the board and followed her instructions while explaining the formula. I got everything correct and my classmates applauded as I returned to my seat.
Since then I knew I could finally do things that my family had always told me I was incapable of.
We have to pick and choose our battles and thankfully many teachers nowadays see that some students need alternatives and they offer it. I just wish I'd had more teachers like that while in school versus the fuck heads that were no different than my family.
@@michellegriff13 I'm glad to hear that you got to face your fears. Just wish people were more empathic to you. I was terrified of talking in public, and still am till a certain degree. But it got a lot better.

could be wrong on this but I think teachers and professors are paid to push you out of your comfort zone. Thing is, some of us literally are never comfortable to begin with, so there's that issue.
Ugh. That's the worst. Especially when they just call you out in front of the class....
Seriously!! I lived this exact scenario in college. When my prof saw the tears welling up in my eyes he said if I raised my hand one time I could get the full 40% for class participation. The next day he threw me a softball question and I got an A in the class.
@@heidi9645 I'm glad that teacher realized it was hard enough to raise your hand, and rewarded you for it. Too many just can't understand that it is hard for some of us. We are participating, just not verbally.

Then take pity on us
we always prefer written communication :) our brains are working so fast that the language department can not cope with it, so we are just stuck during a conversation. however, we have tons of stuff to tell. you can tell your students to write to you. they can explain their thoughts and feelings better this way..
@@anneyamann5859 Also - and let's be honest here... a lot of us have extreme social anxiety, or asocial tendencies which have caused us to develop very fast typing skills.

@@Ollie-trolley I checked the thing you said to know if I have that disorder, everything seemed to point that way, but then one symptom came up that just completely showed that his points and adhd are not related, talking too much or having hyperactivity(the symptom), so I don't think it's ever gonna be relatable to an introvert. So the points he said and ADHD are not related at all, you don't need to have those problems to be an introvert but it's just the majority. And I don't get why many people take being introvert or extrovert by the battery theory(or symptom, I don't know what else to call that, it's the one you were talking about) there's way more stuff to make sure which one is you(introvert or extrovert), that theory is just a part of many behavioral patterns, just a basic one among the many other important stuff

WHY is participation even a requirement? Seriously it makes no sense.
Because our current society is build mostly by extroverts, dear! We're just starting to use translators and assign the "mix" or "educated & truly social extrovert" type of people to communicate our requirements for functioning or even highly contributing to society! 😝 We would either die early, be wives to wealthy and overly busy extroverts or reside in shrines/monasteries/convents in the many ages before! 😂 Or.... you know..... have wealthy donors depending too much on our nerd skills to not bear with our "odd attics". 🤣 But in the age of internet, impersonal, voiceless written communication has become a place where most people are, extroverts retreat to pictures, videos and short communication while we leave essays without the fear of stuttering and the leasure to scroll past any uncivilised rude "grunting" that extroverts spread in a stress reaction as they're faced with complex and valid backed up argumentation. 🤓 (Please note: This comment is a joke.

Third person: Was that video relevant to you ?
Me: Actually yeah! It was quite relevant! (With an embarrassing smile)
Translator: Yeah! That is too much relevant to me but it doesn't mean I am enjoying this nature. At times it just sucks. It may seem funny to you but it actually is not! It's not always fun to be the odd one in group of friends. It just drains me out! I will change this nature of mine asap and try for it every minute and will emerge into a powerful personality one day! You got it!!!
"I wouldn't write it the night before."

I DIED
totally me at uni, paper due at 5pm Monday, I start writing it around 2pm Monday, always in the computer room in the professor's building to save time on commuting to get the paper into his pigeon hole
If you can write a 30 pages research paper the morning it is due that would be very impressive.
Oh no! You are reading this comment.
YOU'RE ALIVE. HA! 😎
That part was me, like right now I'm procrastinating in an essay that it's due for tomorrow, and studying for a math is test that I have, also tomorrow.
Idk what am I doing with my life haha :')
is 100% me.... 😬
Anyone: Hey, do you want to....
My translator: I’m sorry, we require 29 weeks notice on all planned social interactions. How else do you think “Christmas in July” became a thing?
This deserves more likes
I love this
Yesss! 😂😂
You do Christmas In July too?
"Why don't you talk much? Just speak your mind!"
Me: Its just not my thing...
Translator: If I spoke my mind, half of my speech would be incoherent screaming at the prospect of speaking at all! Also, the other half would be a mix of explicit vocabulary and rambling ideas, and lemme tell you, NOBODY wants to hear all that.
Edit:
Me: This blew up, uh, thanks for liking it...
Translator: First of all, where in the actual-
Me: NOPE!
Translator: -Did y'all come from!? There's 2,000 comments, why y'all staring at this one? This is way too much attention, someone give me a blanket so I can curl up in the corner already!
Me: I-I don't...
Translator: Shhh... *whispers* Thank you for the support y'all. He needs to process people noticing him for a while.
this is so me
Because if I did, a third of the class would be having a panic attack, a third would be laughing, and a third would be utterly motionless.
If I did it would just be me banging my head on the wall,Screaming,Swearing at myself and going insane
that's me everyday
everyday i have random thoughts and thinking about memes,music at random intervals at any given day
*someone talking shit about their friend to me*
me: "yeah.."
translator: "she thinks you're a horrible person for saying these things about someone who thinks kindly of you, but she'll never say it to your face because she's too nice"
actually everyone should just thumbs up now. Handshakes have become a thing of the past. This must have been made pre-pandemic
This thing with the elbow touching is so weird. Why can't we just friendly nod to each other or bow slightly, most cultures in asia never did it differently.
@@ma14.27 I wonder if the whole bowing thing started because someone didn't want to touch another person because of possible disease? I can see some uppity noble demanding a poor farmer to bow their head for that reason... The population density in Asia has always been very high compared to the other parts of the world.. Maybe some ancient genius figured it out and it spread among the educated (which was high society). I googled it.. can't find when it started, it probably came before written history.
I shook someone's hand a couple of weeks ago. It felt good and normal. Can't wait for it to catch on again.

I legit failed for 15 seconds trying to give a professor a handshake once. I'd put it up, not think he'd notice, put it down as he put it up, we went back and forth for a while.
Oh, i love you. Want to get married?
I love that someone else is this unsure of human interaction but now I also have this new nightmare in my head to catastrophize over anytime someone wants a handshake

As a neurotic introvert who must function in an extrovert world - this hits it dead on....I totally need an introtranslator except that may add onto my anxiety of saying something that in my head works but once past my lips sounds like a toddler came up with it....Just like this.
Kudos

This is sooo me.

I am ENTJ but i really like watching those kind of videos and accumulating knowledge on these topics it is helpful to be able to recognise what is type of someone's personality and next you can behave right related to it.
My translator:
*Sorry I'm late for class, I was watching Frank James's new video*
"So what did you do in the weekend?"
"Ah you know, the usual"
Translator: "you ask me this question every single god damn Monday, I did the same thing i did last week, and the week before that, and before that, I set in my bed on the internet, eating whatever I had that was easy to make, and if I did something else I just don't wanna tell you about my life"
Why are people always expecting a good answer to this question?
YOU GET IT.
YOU. GET. IT. I hate when people ask me this question. Like no I haven't done anything new, no I wouldn't tell you if I had, no I don't wanna hear about what you did, please go away
The phone call from someone you speak to rarely "What's going on with you." And despite the 1000s of things that might be going on in the months since I last spoke to the person what comes out is "nothing much."
@@arly380 I'm also trying to be more sociable, that's why I always try to answer boring questions, so that people like you don't have to feel bad
Is it bad that that's how I am with my therapist? 😅 He always asks me that I always say the usual or nothing really happened but if I had a translator that's exactly what would be said. Except it would be Thursday not Monday.

How does the Translator know what we want to say? Is he an ENFP?
I think it's because he would be the Extroverted version of our personality type.
I don't know all mbti personalities and their characteristics but I guess if you are INFP(i am) the ENFP should be the best translator
@@chaussurerl7312 Exactly like that
@@chaussurerl7312 But he still shouldn't say too much...
@@chaussurerl7312 Ehh. I'd actually disagree here. You'd need someone with complimentary cognitive functions, not just the "E" to your "I" 😅
That being said, ENFPs are kind of naturally good at picking up on what people actually mean (in my experience...unless you're an ISTJ) so they'd be perfect for the job.
The whole “talk once to turn off your brain” is so real
Prof: Is sakiro here?
Me: *Raises hand*
Translator: By that means he doesn't want to say "present" because his popularity in this school is rather below average than any other students in here, and doesn't want any judgement applied on him, because it's in his nature to be just silent. So, stop murmuring about his low self-esteem and just be nice. Not everyone wants to be like you, no offense.
Meanwhile I'm the guy everyone hates for no apparent reason and even if i went to a different school it doesn't change even if no one knows me like I have some kind of aura that makes me hated by the world

@Dracø Is All Elite do you want to talk?
"Why don't you talk much? Just speak out your mind."
"Uhh..o...kay?"
Translation: "Well, yes, talking is just speaking your mind out, but this girl over here's brain is just going crazy right now at all of the possible answers to your question, and is secretly cursing at herself because she stuttered AGAIN and used "uhh" AGAIN. And even if she did speak her mind she'd basically be just screaming incoherently and also panicking like a 3 year old little girl who has no clue where her plushie is even though it's right on the counter in front of her, and she'd also be screaming passive aggressive sentences to anyone and everyone around her. And nobody wants to hear all that at the same time, right? Well she has to. You don't want to either. Please don't talk to me anymore. Thank you."
No one asks me to speak my mind anymore, because they've figured out that
1: I'm extremely opinionated on everything but the important stuff.
2: I'll probably ramble on about some mathematical or technical problem, or I'll overanalyze something that normal people don't give even a first thought.
Regarding number one, to me, this is actually a joke. If something is important enough to have an opinion on, then it's important enough to have an open mind on. But none of my associates seem to understand this. If I have a strong opinion on something, I'm probably feigning it in jest. That, or I'm hung up on some technicality.
How do I translate in word : 3 colors; 6 pictures; 2 sound and feeling which are very different and at the same time have meaning only taken in common AND do not have meaning taken in the moment that would be translatable with words ?
At the limit, I have his which comes a little close to it : th-cam.com/video/qNtkSL4TMgc/w-d-xo.html
I've been told to speak my mind once
*once*
Me: let’s handshake
Translator: What he meant to say let’s do finger guns
My teacher: I'm tired of hearing my own voice, would anyone like to read?
The class: *Silence*
Me: I guess I could...
My translator: Actually, they are silently praying that you don't choose them. They volunteered solely because they felt secondhand embarrassment for you, and couldn't bear the suffocating silence that followed that question. If you pick them, they will read to be respectful, but afterwards they will shut down due to the immense flood of anxiety and overthinking.

There's a line between shy and introvert
There's a line between not wanting to talk and being nervous to talk.
And maybe I am somewhere in between 😌
Finally someone who understands that.. thank u
I think I'm both. Sometimes I'm just nervous, other times I'd rather not be spoken to.
@@azearaazymoto461 Introverts don't have to be shy, but often are because they usually get less practice in social situations. Thus, the two traits are so connected people think they are the same thing.
I am an introvert-- I prefer my own company to everyone else's and in relationships I've been known to sneak time for myself, so much so that my partner suspects I'm cheating.
Shy I most certainly am not. I'll go toe to toe with anyone, anywhere, anytime. I'm just usually not inclined to bother, as it takes time away from the things I am actually interested in. There's only so damn much of me to go around and so many hours in a day.
"I'm in this photo and I don't like it."
I have an extroverted friend that translates for me, she was an introvert back then and I was an extrovert, now roles have changed
As an introvert myself, I can say this is 100% true. I need one of these guys.
Introversion is not the same as social anxiety or shyness. As an introvert, I find social interactions draining and solitude refreshing, but I still enjoy social interactions, and I know how to shake hands, how to participate in class, et cetera. I just manage my energy differently than my extroverted friends. Introversion is not a disability nor an excuse for rudeness.
Thank you
This video is from his point of view, and a lot of introverts can relate. You're right, but don't forget there are different types of introverts. In my case, the handshake is fine for me, so I was like ??? but yeah, besides that, I agree with his translator.
@@valeriaq4270 Exactly. And in my case, if I never touched another human being again, it would be too soon. I found the video pretty on point, even the slightly rude parts so, y'know, different people, different experiences.
Well said. Thank you.
anxiety and introversion aint exactly a good combo

Hahahh love that😂❤

Who else wants to hear about Frank's scalding hot takes on Anna Karenina?

Ditto
I love how he is all mad but at the end he goes “thank you”
“How Sadistic can you get old man?”
Well that went downhill fast.
Person: “hey what’s up?”
Me: how the fuck am I even supposed to answer this question. I don’t want to say the generic “nothing much” because then the conversation will get super awkward. And that person will judge me and probably never talk to me again.
I felt that in my soul
@@mario-oc2if LMAO, I was about to say this, more or less. It's so damn true.
The ceiling, the sky, say something funny. And keep doing that I guess. That's what I do, and I know it's repetitive but that's okay, not many mind at all.
How/why would they "judge" you?
@@commanderriver2840 That, my friend, is social anxiety. I'm afraid of breathing wrong, let alone saying something wrong.
My translator would a perpetual windows error sound effect
Lol 😅😘
Everyone needs this
I am alone but not lonely. I simply want to have time to hang out with myself. If I need some time to myself, it doesn’t mean I’m mad at my friends and doesn’t want to be with them anymore. I’m not that weird like my friends because I prefer talking than just mess up everywhere. I might not be sociable but that doesn’t mean I’m shy. People say I’m too serious to have fun, but I have my own way to have fun.
S---, I can have those moments too, but not often. And I hate that they might think you are well or something.
Exactly! My enjoyment seems to be from entirely different activities....which tend to be solitary ones....and QUIET ones.....reading, playing online solitaire, jigsaw puzzles, mental puzzles, etc.
participation is 60% of the whole grade? what a nightmare
"What? How sadistic can you get old man?"
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I THINK
I need one of these translators. Seriously.
I believe that more people would think or notice I can be rude if it wasn’t for my introversion.
As an extrovert this was actually wildly helpful. Now I can communicate with my introvert friends a little easier and help them not feel so uncomfortable.
Hello sweet person! Thank you very much in the name of (I'm sure) a lot of introverts who are more than happy with having a friend like you. Because the truly powerful mixture is still, when introverts and extroverts work together and install functioning ways of communication❣️ It's great to read you cared enough about your friend to tackle exactly that.
Person: tells me to make a simple Decision that would probably take a normal person 2 seconds to decide.
Me: makes croaking uhh sound.
My translator: She is either compensating how this decision will affect her in every aspect of life and what she could missing out on or regret if she makes the wrong choice. OR she kinda knows what she wants but doesn't want you to judge her decision so she's trying to figure out what you want her so say.
Person: just pick a movie
Anyone else. No ok😁
Wow you just explained my thoughts like a auto-biography
My unknown sister! Exactly what you said.✌😺
Soooo me
lol I think a lot of us are introverts with a little anxiety. I'm not sure introversion=insecurity like this but I guess its more common among introverts
