I'm kind of an Ambivert. But believe me, my introvert times are actually good.... so it's like that😄. Btw, the part you said about watching movie alone. I watched so with 'Joker' movie. Like you said: F#*king amazing.
I'm Introvert and I never go to any party or friends get together 🙃🙃 and I don't feel bad about it. Do you think I'm normal or should I try to change this...??😌
This video is an absolute favourite one to me.I could relate so many things from this one. I m an introvert and it took so long time to realize that thing. After all years of self criticism and self disapproval even after I realized that I m an introvert , it took another long period to accept myself. Wat I felt was , it feels so good and better and easy to accept myself rather than trying to change like an extrovert. But enjoyed juggling into various self help books and pdfs and articles and speeches reading about introversion.. Please do upload many videos about introversion :)
Yeah i can relate... its just bc im an introvert, doesnt mean im the most useless in group projects. My classmates ALWAYS and i do mean ALWAYS tells me that im the most useless person in the group, its not my fault its their's fault, they only give me weak jobs to be done very easily bc they think im stupid. And before this pandemic happends i always get 85+ score (considered good in my school) and my classmates just keep describing me as that one jerkish suspicious guy that no one wants to be friends with. And the pandemic makes it worse, my friends dont want to even group up with me for a group project online. But when i do solo all those group projects i got like the 3rd if not the 2nd best score on them. And my friends just kept saying "he probably stole it from somebody, or he pay someone to do it for him!" (Cuz my family is rich). I dont know what i should do to prove them wrong.
As an introvert, has anyone of you ever felt so lonely and uncomfortable in a group that you have to seek solitude for a while to feel better? That's the worst feeling ever.😣
know this may sound kind of weird . ( I’m an introvert ) how do u start a text conversation with a friend who hasn’t contacted u for a couple months without being awkward ? Should I just ask him like “ how’s everything going ?
Yeah, happened with my friends friend group. They were annoying and I refused to be around them. Short story: I got lonely af and had to fit into the group to feel better. Never talked.
Disadvantages of being introvert 1. We can't get emotional support from people quickly 2. It's difficult for us to get into a relationship (Especially if you are a male) 3. Sometimes you will feel like you are not being invited to the group Advantages of being introvert 1. You will learn everything by yourself without any complain and you will learn how to move on by yourself 2. You mostly like to avoid the toxic people and get traumatized 3. You won't get involved into any unwanted trouble
As an introvert I unknowningly sometimes get myself into troubles because when someone makes me do something and I just f*** it and overthink about it for the next days
How to get this much confidence. I am In my room all the time in the hostel. And I feel good. But then I feel like I am not going out like my other batchmates and I am missing out on things. Then I feel guilty .
if i am 70℅ introvert, than my husband is 100 ℅ introvert, and our combination is lethal, because we spent a great time in lockdown, no complains, so many talks, movies, books, gardening, arts, video games,cooking together and a lot.those moments were precious.
We are introverted too and the last 16 months have been hard only because we couldn't delegate the care of our child. So, that left us no time to recharge while being alone...
Yea ikr, and then they just stand there are keep asking rubbish questions and all n it just becomes more awkward ;-; like idk what to ask and then they just stand there expecting some questions from us.. I'd rather like to be left alone :) or wid my bestfriends
Yeah and in family functions they force me dance... I am not at all comfortable with that, I am the main point of dancing is to enjoy and if I am not enjoying it what's the whole point of dancing awkwardly to please other's
As a 70 year old introvert I want to say that this was one of the best personal comments on the subject that I've seen. It took me many years to get to feeling "normal" about myself. I wish I could have understood this when I was still a kid.
But I always irritate to join functions and parties with unknow crowd 😢😢😢 I never share my feelings with any body since as a kid till now at age 26 yrs
@@uniqueshadowplayer4651Every person including extroverts doesn't need to rely on others approval.Another human is just as you figuring out life making decisions.Things I understood is another person gets sets of opinion regarding introverts or extroverts things.We can't change their way of thinking we can only need to focus on our lives.Time will pass and go but your valuable life is not having sufficient energy.
@@mohankrishna4909I chose loner life but I can do these things to whom I can trust.Not everyone is deserving to get your whole private things.If you feel urge to share your feelings do share with trustable person whom you can connect with deeper level or good terms.Before impressing someone never forget what is your needs which are necessary to build up communication because communication is build on the foundation of interests,hobby and your entertainment if you are feeling bored with every topics in communication not feeling want to talk with them just forcing yourself you are doomed to be alone with company of people.First allmost find your type of person whom you can share your conversation.
I already worked from home and hardly went out, so the only real change for me was that I couldn't go sit at Starbucks to work like I used to do a couple times a week.
I’ve been in quarantine almost all my life. Turns out I was way ahead of the times. Quarantine was awesome; the only downside was that everyone else was indoors as well.
I've heard that supersensitive and introvert are two different things. I'm pretty introverted but not at all supersensitive. The trait you said goes more into the direction of supersensitive.
I love being in a huge crowd like at a concert where I can remain anonymous but enjoy the energy. I don't mind social crowds, but after a very short time I feel burned out and lost. The best is being one on one or with a couple people you really get along with and they don't expect you to talk constantly. We can ride in a car with some silence and no one thinks its strange or anything... Heaven.
Got that a lot growing up. When I was younger, I heard more than once, "Lets talk about everyone's favorite topic, yourself." and I could only think "I hate talking about myself" lol
Honestly being an introvert is actually a blessing because you are one of the 30%-40% of the population that can spend time alone without losing their minds. I personally find being alone desirable sometimes, just looking out the window and getting lost in my own thoughts listening to music or just watching some movies and playing some games by myself, it’s a good experience.
As an introvert, I get very frustrated when people force me to talk and socialize with others. It completely drains my energy and makes me feel like I am doing something very wrong just because I'm being myself.
Omg, I can definitely relate. Especially when it's your family members forcing you to socialize with other family relatives. What pains me the most is that sometimes, they usually don't even want to speak to the relative themselves, but has the audacity to ask you.
Exactly my teachers write on my report cards that she is too introvert she needs to socialize more it's bad Why do the hell they wrote this? I'm so bold I'm confident in my work It's just that this introvertness is in my nature I love that They mistake this as shy under confident Seriously introvert needs an different world everyone thinks you need to be an extrovert to be successful 🤷
i want to punch people in the face whenever they try to get me to hang out with them even though i already told them i need space to recharge in between conversations or hangouts. would you really want to hang out with me when im snappy and constantly want to slap everyone in the face? no, you would not. and please dont be overly clingy, i absolutely cannot stand that shit.

My cousin is an introvert, whenever we talk he always change the topic to paradoxes, facts and space things like the theory of relativity by Einstein. He's like your dose of fun facts.
@@sgtpepper1456 yeah, we have a lot of different views but we’re really close so it’s a bit weird how we don’t like the same things but have the greatest times together XD
I am an introvert , I was bullied when i was in school . These bullies were physically weaker than me , but still bullied because i was a quite person . I requested them many times not to make fun of me . One day the three of them caused a great embarrassment to be infront of teachers and other students. This angered me , on the same day I beat all the three persons and warned them. They never bullied me ever again
What a coincidence this happens with me as well in school days. As i am the Silent boy in my school. People always make fun bullied me. 😂😂😂😂 those days.
LOVE IT. Dude, this was exactly me. While at a new school in the 6th grade, and into the 7th, I was relentlessly bullied and harassed by a group of aggressive tools I hadn't ever done anything to, especially this one POS in my class and his older brother. It wasn't just verbal, either, there were plenty of physical encounters. One day, I just finally had it and threw all caution to the wind and told myself I would happily accept whatever the results were, but I was going to rear up and do something. I can't even remember exactly what he had done that sent me over the edge, but one morning, early during English class, as I was walking my homework up to put on the teacher's desk, I walked by his desk, stopped briefly, swing my hips and drove my fist into the side of his head with everything I could muster. There was a tremendous "thud" from the fluid in his skull cavitating as he went flying out of his seat, and he let out of a spontaneous "F**K" after landing on the floor. The teacher, who was writing on the chalkboard at the time and had her back to the class, wheeled around and demanded to know the reason for his outburst. He pointed at me and wailed that I had sucker punched him, which of course, I had. She asked me if it was true, and I denied it. She sent him down to the principal's office. Later in the hour, the vice principal came and pulled me out of class to talk to me out in the hallway about the incident, and he asked me point-blank if I had struck him. Again, I had already accepted I was going to be punished as a result of what I did before I even did it, but in that moment, time seemed to freeze, and I had a startling realization: 10-15 other kids in that class saw what happened, and not a single one of them uttered a word to rat me out or to defend the bully. I was a quiet, bookish kid who didn't have beef with anyone, so I knew it wasn't because anyone feared any retaliation from me, and instantly realized what had to be the truth: they believed he deserved what he got. Which, of course, he did. Which meant it was just. So I looked that VP in the eye and confidently said "No, I didn't." The bully received in-school suspension for his use of profanity in class, and I walked free. That kid and his brother never even spoke a word in my direction again.
@@drmwpn what a coincidence i also bullied when i am in 6 grade. But f**k all of them. I have some problems in leg so they also make fun of me after 2 years i leave that school.
I too get bullied a lot, and I know that I have strength to fight back, it's just that i am scared, what if I hit too hard? What if I don't hit too hard? What if a teacher sees me? What if he calls his friends? Fuck life
I am an ultra introvert. When I was in school, my teachers constantly tried to make me an extrovert. They compelled me to be the class leader , to sit in front row. There was an extra extrovert girl in my class. They told me to be like her. They were considering my introvert behaviour as a disorder. I felt so bad about myself during those days. But after school I moved out of my place and rediscovered myself. Now I love my company ❤️
Exactly I also hate being a class leader and participating in speech and dramas 🙄 but my mom forces me to do speech 💬😢 but I forget the words when I am in front of crowd 😭
@@abhijithk4225 It's not right to think that way, because your intelligence has nothing to do with your nature. Being an introvert myself and having observed other introverts, we are actually quite smarter than we think, becoz as we talk less and are not very social , we get a lot of time to observe oneself and Introspect ourselves :)
Every student in online class : mam when will the school open when can we meet our friends? Me : okay Like am I the only one who literally loves this type of life 😅
Introverts are not necessarily shy. We are also the majority (51%) but no extrovert will tell you that. Social media has made it less obvious how normal introversion is. Thank you for this thoughtful content!
I'm pretty sure social media probably accelerated being an introvert combined with covid because it made going outside unnecessary and covid made it impossibpe
Introverts know their boundaries....they can be anything they want...introverts arent antisocial..its a choice..to spend time alone...or stay reserved...
know this may sound kind of weird . ( I’m an introvert ) how do u start a text conversation with a friend who hasn’t contacted u for a couple months without being awkward ? Should I just ask him like “ how’s everything going ?
I went to breakfast with my bf and his friends. And this lady tells me….. “quiet people make me uncomfortable, like are they listening to every word I say to use it against me?” Sighhhhh the narcissism. I’m literally quiet because they never talk about anything I would think is important and I can’t fake it. I immediately got on my phone and started playing Pokémon go and was in my own little world. I hate when people tell me how uncomfortable my peaceful state of mind makes them. Sorry I can’t fake like I’m interested in you and make small talk about waffles 🥴
People like that get on my nerves. Like why are you projecting that on me. If me being quiet bothers you it’s your problem. At least I don’t have to change myself to make others comfortable especially if I’m minding my own business.
Literally crying and laughing at the same time. So relatable, the fact that someone else being content is enough to piss some of these people off. What they are really wanting to say is “I can’t figure you out in two seconds and put you in a box, and it makes me uncomfortable, and it’s your fault”.
@@smrutichandra4986 just do as you want but keep in mind to not to hurt someone, if being introvert is kind of ego. than yes, I'm an egoistic person and I'm not ashamed of it.
Many online definitions are actually written by people who dont have any knowledge about personalities such as introvert or extrovert. Being introvert doesnt mean being shy or talk less , its just some people prefer staying indoors enjoying theirselvs and have no relation to being shy. XD I am an introvert too and i can talk about stuff for hours if the topic interests me
@@Wat3rCoCk thats debatable, socialising is a choice. And may be its the society and system we live in, that we have subconsciously made a wrong judgement about introverts that they are shy, and hence as a result extrovert tend to be more confident in socialising near introvert
The one I hear a lot is phrased like: introverts get energy from having alone time while extroverts do so with socializing I happen to be what people think is a stereotypical introvert But even when I have opportunities with friends and family etc, I find myself sometimes still wanting to just do my own thing and keep to myself Too much socializing is draining for me
Most of my classmates told me that i have mental disorder and mental issues just bc im shy around ppl (well cuz im an introvert and i dont really open up to a lot of ppl)
I was going through a deadly depression in 2017...at the age of 17..I started spending time with myself. I read...I read so much...I watched cinema so deeply...from that day to today..I am still a mystery to the world.. except my family and my one friend.no one knows me. No ask me how I am doing and it's ok...I am used to this peace...And It's kinda making my solitude more powerful. From last six years...I go to restro alone...I go to cinema alone... It's very crazy to say but I watched 9 movies in theatre all by myself on a single month. And in this last 6 years.. I've watched around 250 to 300 movies in theater All by myself alone. I enjoy this life. It's me who matters
“Why don’t you talk like them?” Because I actually think about context and how every single person will respond to what I say and how I say it. If I spoke like them I’d give myself constant anxiety attacks. If I spoke like them I wouldn’t be me.
One of mine friend was introvert.. Believe me it's very hard to understand introvert people.. Bcz they never share their side of story.. And most of time people assumed that they r rude or egoistic
I always waited to be asked my side of the story. I am to blame for my loneliness. So true what you said. I'm often thought of as anti-social. I hear the whispers. I use it to my advantage.
Some people believe that they should only share their own experience if they are asked. And some people believe that others want to know about their experience, even if they don't.
You know as an introvert I actually tried to open up a bit...but people won't listen to my side of the story. Which in turn made me feel like going to my own secure shell is good for me so I started to listen to others instead. Online friends tho are a lifesaver I got! I shared a few things with them & they listened so I actually got more confident in sharing my side ^^ tho yeah sometimes it's really annoying when you want to share your side of the story but nobody is willing to listen (and a fact for me that I can't even tell if they're actually listening to me or not)
Being an introvert is actually a gift. You can be someone who can focus on yourself and don't care about the society and live your own life. While many where sad about quarantine I actually loved it. I don't like these family interactions or social groups but prefer one on one conversations deep ones with people whom I love and care about. You can be an introvert and a great communicator. Introverts can have great careers and can be truly successful.
@@Koustobdas1894Yoù can read a magazine, watch comedy on tv, play a musical instrument, call a friend .You dont run out of options. I am one of them I never feel bored.
@@gowthamanjaiganesh3210I love your response. Currently learning to just accept myself and only seek to be around those who understand me. There's so much more peace in that. I'm tired of always feeling exhausted or scared of being around friends and especially my very extroverted family simply because of how much they openly judge and criticise me for being "too shy".
These lockdowns have been so bad for mental health. It's gonna be tough to rehabilitate that, but I hope you can get it back. I'm sending moral support vibes
@@seanregner8934 In order to be happy, there should be enough money for basic stuff, but having a lot of money doesn't guarantee you happiness. For instance, you can never know if someone likes you for who you are, or because of your money. Happy people don't overaccumulate wealth IMO.
@@alexeysaranchev6118 but you don't have to have a lot of people around you or all of them having a good view of you to be happy. people like different things, so specific things make one happy. someone may seek happiness in creating a big family of friend group and someone in spending time in nature or do what they like that doesn't enquire communicating (e.g. drawing).
It always annoyed me when someone tells me to "speak" or "say something" just for the sake of talking when I really have nothing to say because I am either thinking or observing or just listening. One of the reasons I hate attending parties and gatherings is not because I hate people but because I wouldn't want to ruin other people's mood. As some people aren't used to quiet people like me, they would often tell me indirectly that I'm killing the mood of the party/gathering. I can talk if I actually have something to say or if there are people who would actually listen, but most of the time, they just want me to talk for the sake of talking. They don't really care. I spend my words like I spend my money. I spend it wisely and with intention.
I got the same, only one time I got to talk a lot in a party and was because I met another person with my same passion in games. We talked for about 2 hours non stop, was really awesome
People are cruel. Just cause us introverts aren't speaking doesn't mean we're lazy. We're thinking of what to say because we don't want to insult anyone or we don't want to be on the wrong side. We don't talk with everyone, we pick the right ones that we feel comfortable with.
Lol they think as if its some disease or disorder what's worse is them saying, "I was introvert before, look how i am now. Even you can be smart like me" ... and in my mind im like "Whooooaaaatttt"
Every time I'm with my class, people I dont't know very much or even sometimes with my family I'm doing or saying really dumb things because (Or maybe I'm an idiot after all? Who knows) theres a lot of negative thoughts in my mind like ,,You're an idiot'' "Nobady's listening to you" or just simply the 'awareness' that I for sure will make an idiot out of myself or I'm going to do something wrong even at the most basic activities such as shopping. And yeah, most of the time that's how it happens. But as I'm alone I feel more confident about myself because I know that if there's noone around nobody's gonna laught at me or judge me, I can focus on the problem or a task, think about it and solve it. It's fucking annoyng.
Sometimes I feel like I need to push myself to be more extroverted, or else I’ll get a sense of FOMO for missing on social opportunities.. Does anyone ever get that way too? 🤷♀️
I do but I always failed and made myself look awkward...it was embarrassing...later I realized that I should be myself and not to fake myself as some one else whom I look up to...cuz that person is outgoing and extroverted...
@@kalyansapsd1Same. I realized that the "fomo" is more just "fear of being left out again unless I blend in awkwardly". SO much better to just accept who you are.
People or introverts can go out or to events and don't have to socialize. There are other things you can enjoy at events or places. Or just observe. You can also leave anytime or early. Or stay in a secluded spot.
Yup but that’s all just myth made by f*cking a*holes only dude! U only bcom safe frm many possible negatives when u choose to be alone. U can enjoy that way too but with the right ppl u love. There comes the real happiness
Do it. You'll be happier if you make friends and meet new people and have fun conversations. A study found that introverts who were compelled to act like extroverts were happier as a result. It's not really that hard to talk to people. It takes a bit of practice, but once you get it down it will seem weird you ever thought it was a problem. One thing to remember is that most people are just like you- most people are shy when meeting someone for the first time, most people get self conscious sometimes, everyone sometimes struggles to come up with stuff to talk about. All that is natural, even relatable to most people.
I had never seen an introvert girl in my entire life n I had thought girls cannot be introverts but looking at the comments Im wrong there r so many girls🙂🙂🙂🙂
@@abhijithk4225Girls are introverted too I'm one of them. I like talking to kind people but people either ignore me or hurt me by their words so I choose to be alone coz honestly I'm invisible for everyone except my family so I don't wanna bother people
Thanks Raunaq, for articulating the exact feeling of every introverts. It's almost like introverts are all connected. Everyone experiences the same feeling or goes through the similar situations at some time in their life. I used to copy somebody's character traits to be accepted from other people. But always I end up regretting the action. I advise anyone who is reading this please don't try imitate to somebody. You'll lose your originality, and your true self. Yes, It's difficult live in a world of extroverts but with some self-love and self-acceptance you'll get through life easily. I'll consider this comment as a reminder to myself :)
The worst thing that happened to me was in high school. I was popular in class and funny, but I was quiet and every time I finally started talking, someone always had to say something like "oh, look who knows how to talk," except to just behave normally. Then I get even quieter.
I hate when teachers pick on me, especially when I don’t know the answer to a question. I am the only person in my class that barely says a few sentences per day, and everyone just stares at me when the teachers do that, and it doesn’t help that there’s always one person laughing when I get the answer wrong, like honestly, they think they’re helping me come out of my shell but in reality they’re just pushing me in more.
@Areeba Rizwan I’m going into the next year soon, so I’ll be in a class with different people, hopefully not everyone will be as talkative as the people in my old class.
Damn, glad that I am not the only one: - to feel socially awkward and out of "society" - tried to be the "society" - felt happy being accepted - lived for while - then started questioning who the fack I am - had an identity crisis - before finally resetting the expectations about myself and thus accepting myself.
Being an introvert,getting married to a family which is completely strange,not being able to socialise with them which leads to depression and anxiety and imagine if the girl is just 19 ..That’s me😇
I am 19 and introvert too..i also feel anxious all the time even w my freinds or family but now everyone has accepted me the way i am nd they feel i look more standard this way.. don't worry just show everyone who degrades you have got high standards nd that's it nd after that people will get used to your intoversion
Being married at a young age is more depressing than anything.I know how hard it will be for you to go through all this. Dont let yourself down. Stay Strong ❤️
Today morning a classmate just attacked me for being an introvert. It hurt me a great deal coz it's not the first time someone is doing that. Only that this one was a little extra harsh. Being an introvert is really difficult especially in college where everyone expects you to always have something to say about everything. They expect you to be outgoing and the "hello" you say while passing by is never enough for them. They take one's quietness for a weakness,low self esteem and confidence. They literally take you to be a weakling! Incapable of doing anything at all. Whereas the truth is that introverts prefer it that way. I personally hate small talk. And unless something is really of importance/ relevant to me at that particular time,then I'd rather not get involved in it. But of course there are two people you lose yourself around. You can talk about anything with them freely. I feel that the world should just look at everything from the bigger picture.
Lockdown made me understand more about myself... I enjoy being alone. I was actually pretending to be happy or cool by being in a group. I am very happy being a group but this makes me more happier and more peaceful perhaps.I ate alone in a restaurant ... Oh god... Awesome experience.. though everyone around me judged me.It was much better dinner.I really loved the silence in the restaurant and being lost in the thoughts. I ate the food I wanted and i actually enjoyed it. That acceptance thing is so true... Thank you Ranauq.❤️
lockdown was pretty much a boon for me as well :) happy to know that you're discovering new joys from being comfortable with yourself and when we start accepting things about ourselves, life automatically starts to get better :) thank you so much for watching and sharing ur stories!
I am a highly sensitive introvert. Not like I cry at the drop of a hat, just I feel so deeply about things and I can cry easily about it. I have been told I get too emotional and I am too quiet, like I haven't heard that all my life. People need to stop assuming I am a snobbish cry-baby, because if people would only get to know me I am very witty and smart.
I totally relate to what you've said. I'm almost always seen as snobbish and a tad cold, but this this period has been a huge turning point for me. I always asked myself, "What is wrong with me??" *Why can't I express myself or communicate properly??"😰 I felt absolutely terrible for a long while. And after a real traumatic incident, I was shaken up so badly that I completely shut down 😖 But now, I'm doing alright... It's a work-in-progress. I got to know about the extroverts and introverts. But going even further, I learnt that there were more classifications like in the 12 temperament theory, and the 16 MBTI personality types. It's been really helpful to me 😊 I really like this one channel in particular, if you wanna check it out (Frank James). He goes into these things really well, makes really funny and relatable jokes about these types of stuff (it's just wholesome all around😌). And I found I wasn't as alone in this as I thought. So give it a try, okay?? Hope you find some peace. God bless 😊
I am a 14year old & I talk to myself, daydream & stay alone almost the entire day. Sometimes even my mother calls me mad & says that I have developed a really bad habit because I talk to myself. I love reading books & drawing, but I also like the idea of Adventure & travelling (though I haven't traveled anywhere). I laugh at myself - on my own & prefer exploring things on my own. Everyone of my relatives describes me as a shy child with not much confidence to talk (they always ignore that I score 90% above in most tests without any tuitions - even though they themselves ask how much I scored). Actually I mostly express myself freely in the comments section of TH-cam videos.
@@Cusp_of_magic YES, I've also had people think that I'm not talking to them or the group they're talking with, right next to me, cause I'm "stuck up", 'think I'm too good for them, above them",etc... which is just flat out hurtful and Not true. Like, I'm sorry I don't want to talk behind a co-workers back OR I don't find your tone deaf conversation interesting...geez... I'll be eating my lunch in the breakroom, minding my own business, not interested in small talk or the company gossip. Wow, I just must be So Rude! lol..wth? !
being quiet isnt a bad thing. if i dont have much of a reason to talk then i wont talk. and i dont understand why people view introverts as being stuck up just because they dont talk much. ive always thought that was stupid.
Yes - My reaction to question1 Yes - My reaction to question2 Yea - My reaction to question3 Yessess - My reaction to question4 Yes - My reaction to question5
I'm quite the opposite, i always loved the fact that I'm an introvert.. I felt confident because none of my friends would go to a movie or a restaurant alone which on the other hand I loved to do. I actually felt more confident about myself knowing that I'm an introvert..
For me being introvert isn't a problem, it's just a problem when you have to meet new people or even starting a date, I've never done the last one for that reason, I just don't know what to say, And also sometimes when your friends ask you out and your mind wants to be in solitude and not with friends, but other than that I love being alone with my own thoughts for 100% of the day
It's true about when u don't know what to say to others...most of the time there is nothing to tell and when there is something to tell extroverts don't like that much
i am an introvert but i am not shy or reserved ..i m pretty confident in myself and i only choose to have a small group of friends where i can be completely social and outgoing ... I don't really care about being an extrovert or building an extravert personality ..i m just proud of myself and i don't give a f in this damned world
Thanks for the representation🥺 I have been called as a selfish person for making my sanity a priority which really hurts. Hope people understand us introverts better🙃
i know, we get that a lot, don't we? it's a lot to hope for everyone to understand us but let's try taking the effort n keep the few people who understand us close to us :)

If I am on a bus , airplane or doctors office etc.. I will never start to talk first, mainly because I’m not interested in small talk at all. I don’t even like being around people that talk a lot, because to me it’s just meaningless jibber. I would much rather be alone with my thoughts or a book or pretending to be on my phone. Sorry I guess that being an introvert is actually being antisocial. Are used to be fairly friendly, but I find the older I get the more I just like to be in my own company, although I do have a few friends who I see quite often.
@@sushih3302 it's kinda like something is projected at u and I get so concious of myself that I can't concentrate on my work and keep looking at the cams turned on and if my chance comes to speak I bcome nervous...
I am an introvert, but when I socialize I do feel confident. I enjoy time alone, I’m always busy in my mind and doing projects. In social situations I always find the people who talk the least are listening the most and have the most interesting things to say. You only get one life as who you are now, enjoy it and screw everyone else.
I am a shy introvert I love taking to people who have same interests but individually not in group 🙃I need 3-4 days to get along with my cousins coming and after getting along I talk freely but after they leave and visit after some months the same process goes on ... I need much time to get along with people 😩but I love my alone time enjoying my own world 🌎🙃
Too relatable 🙂 When my cousins or any relatives come to our home , it takes me time to adjust with them . Bcoz of this nature of mine everybody keeps telling be "Why are you so quiet ? Be like your sister becoz she is an extrovert !" It takes me much longer time to adjust with new people but once I'm comfortable with them then I used to talk with them confidently 😀
Most introverts don’t care to be popular but I get what you’re saying. I’m pretty introverted but also people gravitate towards me for some reason. I think it’s the mystery
You know what...my mom is an introvert like me but she doesn't know ...and somehow she never found a person who could understand the importance of one on one conversations in her life...she was always surrounded by extroverts in a joint family where everyone thought they understood her but didn't knew even a glimpse of her personality ....now when she sees me making choices just like her....she fears that I might also end up being alone in a crowd....she considers being introvert as a mistake..... generations of people like us have been overlooked and misunderstood ....sad for all those who will never get another chance to be themselves Infront of society!! This kind of awareness is necessary so that many people can feel free of compulsions the orthodox society forces on them!
Thnx...I needed this. I have no one to talk about how I feel as an introvert when I introspect my actions and sometimes blame myself for being like this.
No... not for me... i know im an introvert and im probably the only one in my class, no one wants to be friends with me and in the group projects im always known as the worst, the most useless student on the group. But then even when i got told that i somehow still able to get 85+ marks on my exams (for some country 80 above score is B) and many people started seeing me as the suspicious type of guy that no one wants to be friends with. And until now, i dont know what is my goal and what should i do to make things right 😔
Yeah, I'm quite sociable in small groups and with people I feel comfortable with, so those people never believe me when I tell them I'm an introvert. But when it's time to leave, I can't wait to get home and have my alone time.
yes, this is me. unfortunately, there were people that took this offensively but if im not close to them then of course im not going to be as warm and social around them.
yes I guess I'm more of a ambivert learning towards the introverted side, as I gain/loss energy depending on who it is. I'm not rlly shy tho I just prefer to keep my thoughts in my head.

Thank you, sir. I admit that I have been feeling more and more alone lately. And it’s not just about being around other people-you can be in a crowd and still feel alone.
As an extrovert I 100% agree with this video, my best friend is an introvert which is kinda weird but introverts are looked at in a negative light which is dumb because people are different.
Being an introvert and having a best friend who is an extrovert is great, provided you understand each other. You can go to social do's, and the extrovert does the talking, breaks the ice, introduces you to people who they know be able to get along with, or if they're really good breaks the ice with a person you're interested in and then steps back at the right moment to leave you alone with them and also know when to rescue you. 😁 For the Extrovert they know they have a real friend, someone for whom a friend isn't some superficial thing, but someone who has your back in the difficult times, somebody they know they can call at 3am when life is too much.
This is so much relatable that I wanna throw this video on the face of all those relatives and so called friends who don't understand this simple concept. But then again being an introvert it's not "our thing" to do so. 😂
I mean, I just throw videos in people's faces and wait to see their reaction. Though I don't like talking about whatever, I like debating, testing and grinding my ideas until I get a nice tempered which I use to stab people's flimsy comments when they least expect it. So, yeah. This guy's party, this person's wedding, I am silent. I don't exist when people ask for pictures for this video or when people ask for volunteers for this event. Bring me something like a philosophical idea, an argument on certain political situations and you will have me talking arguing and counter arguing you all day.
All my life i always felt like I was trash, the way my family talked to me made me feel like i was an alien. I had some though like "why am I like this? Why me? Why I'm not normal like my sisters or cousins? " I lacked confidance for so long, and i still do. I'm actually 19 right now.
Being an introvert I would pretend many times like not being present in the house eventhough someone knocks the door or rings the bell.. and I love to do it because it makes me feel good and peaceful 😅.. just to avoid ppl😂🙊
Ive got dangerous relatives. Realised this when I once tried to do this and my uncle started breaking the car garage door down, Im certain he would have broken in if i really wasnt there. FUCK RELATIVES.
40 years old here. Not really struggling with being introvert, only struggling with loneliness sometimes. But I find your video very thoughtfull. Subscribed. Keep creating these thoughtfull content!
Please tell me that you have a partner. My biggest fear is to stay single for life because of my introversion that don't allow me to find a girlfriend.
Thank you so much for making this video. My whole life I’ve been known as the “shy girl”. I was and still am terribly insecure about it. Fast forward to about a month ago, I went to a party and I felt so out of place and my mind keeps telling me it’s because I’m an introvert so I’m shy and can’t talk to people. When you said “Accept that you can’t please everyone” I suddenly felt the urge to cry. Of course I’ve heard this before, but living in the society of extroverted people your constantly being told being an introvert is a bad thing, or automatically assume you want help. I need to realize that one party, and one situation like that doesn’t define who I am as a person. Another thing I struggle with is that I already don’t have a lot of friends, and when I’m not listening to people I’m perfectly happy with that. But there is this one friend (let’s call her Sarah). Ive known Sarah since kindergarten and we’ve been friends ever since, but lately (the past year) ive noticed we’ve been drifting apart. We don’t have alot in common anymore and ive been trying my best to tell Sarah my interests and all that but I don’t think she’s taking the hint. I feel like I’m so afraid of losing her even though I’m not any happier having her as my “friend” right now. I’m so happy that I got to watch this video, because it isn’t another case of “extrovert thinks you need help” and it’s from another introvert whom has struggled with the same thing as me. I’m really hoping instead of “becoming more social” I can accept myself on this journey of self improvement.
Being an introvert I sometimes feel bad seeing other people having so many friends bcz i hardly have 4-5 friends but then I feel thankful also bcz the ones I have are the people who have accepted me for who i am they don judge me...also i feel socially awkward wen i'm around relatives they talk talk & talk n wot i do is just sit quietly and listen to them nd answer them in my mind 😂🤭
Me too I have very few friends. I talk a lot when I am with them but rarely texted them and never called them by myself. 😂🤣😂 I see whole comment section is filled up with amazing introverts 😝
you are right :) IT IS an extrovert's world. Even thou there are so many introverts we are just "weird"? I don't even think my mom know what is an introvert so I'm just like a weirdo who doesn't like to talk. probably seen as lazy too
Having that best friend is cool too... nothing's more great than going to some place to eat something and talking about the awesomeness we just saw in the theatres with enthusiasm cause lol small talk sucks.... deep talks with best buddy.... hell yeah But in home, i love to put on earphones and watch alone... nothing beats that
This is the most relatable thing i've seen in my entire life. Its giving me hope that i'm not alone, that there are other people out there who are just like me.
I almost feel guilty for loving being alone so much. Sometimes,I take vacations from work, just to stay at home and be alone. And listen to retro wave music all night lol
Being an introvert doesn't mean being self conscious or having low self esteem.Maybe some people have these problems but that doesn't mean all introverts are shy and lack confidence...It simply means that these people enjoy their own company more,they know the value of time so they don't spend time gossiping or going to weekend parties..They spend time reading books and working towards their goals that develop them as a person..And the biggest irony is that they don't really feel shy while talking,infact many of them have great speaking skills because they have the patience to listen and understand.They just don't spend time speaking about things that don't matter to them. Well I'm not a complete introvert but I too enjoy my company..But I enjoy hanging out with friends and socializing💖
Being an introvert myself I would love to comment on this video as it feels more spacious than any other place as...... Thank you for such an existence that really exist
My mom's friends to my mom : why your daughter behaves like dumb and shy and finally compares me to their extrovert daughter.. But actually they don't know, how my analysis and humours going inside my mind.
@@shivashakti1210Yes you are right but, If I try to act same like extrovert then I feel like uncomfortable 😐 , and I wish I won't exist there and also as, I won't see those person ever.🙁
I had a therapist in high school who considered being an introvert a form of mental illness. He claimed it was part of "Antisocial personality disorder" I was also on the autism spectrum. I went through some form ABA education (Appropriate Behavior Analysis) My parents and aunt wanted me to become an extrovert. They said being an introvert was bad for me, I'd never be successful. They would force me to go to large family parties. They forced me to talk to every person there. I had to shake hands and make small talk. My therapist said I spent too much time alone. I had a few friends and went out socially with them. I was friends with them since I was in grade school. My therapist and family said I needed to make new and more friends. (They wanted me to spend time with mentally ill and people on the autism spectrum) They said I should "stick with my own kind" SMH! I fought them and kept my old friends. They decided to commit me to a mental institution then make me live in a group home. Where I could "get socialized. They told me "it was for my own good" They wanted me to stop being an introvert because it would make me become a sociopath. I had a huge breakdown. I had no privacy there. Had to share a room with 3 other people. I wasn't allowed to have anytime to myself. I had to be with someone at all times. After my breakdown, my parents realized that it was wrong to force me to change. I told them I was an introvert and not "anti-social" I am glad there are TH-cam videos toady that show being an introvert isn't bad.
I have indeed been tormented by other people because I am an introvert, but regarding your experience, it is more. Dude, I cried a little and feel sorry for you
Bruh that’s horrible. Being Introverted does not equal a Mental illness! It’s just the way we are, we can’t control it. yeah, we can have friends but this doesn’t make us extroverts, even with friends we’ll still be introverts and no one can change that. I’m glad your parents changed their minds.
Are you an introvert, extrovert or an ambivert(a balance of both)? And what does it make you feel about yourself? Discuss :)
I'm kind of an Ambivert. But believe me, my introvert times are actually good.... so it's like that😄. Btw, the part you said about watching movie alone. I watched so with 'Joker' movie. Like you said: F#*king amazing.

This video is an absolute favourite one to me.I could relate so many things from this one.
I m an introvert and it took so long time to realize that thing. After all years of self criticism and self disapproval even after I realized that I m an introvert , it took another long period to accept myself. Wat I felt was , it feels so good and better and easy to accept myself rather than trying to change like an extrovert. But enjoyed juggling into various self help books and pdfs and articles and speeches reading about introversion..
Please do upload many videos about introversion :)
I'm ambivert 😎 I hate these "ooma kusumbans" introverts..
Society is pathetic, they make us feel bad for just being ourselves
true
It Really is.
@Siri How is this suck?
Introverts act superior, in fact many people think solitude makes them strong idk why tho
Yeah i can relate... its just bc im an introvert, doesnt mean im the most useless in group projects. My classmates ALWAYS and i do mean ALWAYS tells me that im the most useless person in the group, its not my fault its their's fault, they only give me weak jobs to be done very easily bc they think im stupid.
And before this pandemic happends i always get 85+ score (considered good in my school) and my classmates just keep describing me as that one jerkish suspicious guy that no one wants to be friends with. And the pandemic makes it worse, my friends dont want to even group up with me for a group project online. But when i do solo all those group projects i got like the 3rd if not the 2nd best score on them. And my friends just kept saying "he probably stole it from somebody, or he pay someone to do it for him!" (Cuz my family is rich). I dont know what i should do to prove them wrong.
Introverts can actually be very social. Just with the right people.

As an introvert, has anyone of you ever felt so lonely and uncomfortable in a group that you have to seek solitude for a while to feel better? That's the worst feeling ever.😣
know this may sound kind of weird . ( I’m an introvert ) how do u start a text conversation with a friend who hasn’t contacted u for a couple months without being awkward ? Should I just ask him like “ how’s everything going ?
All the time, it's more lonely in a sea of people than it is being alone in solitude.
Yeah, happened with my friends friend group. They were annoying and I refused to be around them.
Short story: I got lonely af and had to fit into the group to feel better. Never talked.
Yes I do I feel that way in groups a lot.
YES, HOLY SHIET
Disadvantages of being introvert
1. We can't get emotional support from people quickly
2. It's difficult for us to get into a relationship (Especially if you are a male)
3. Sometimes you will feel like you are not being invited to the group
Advantages of being introvert
1. You will learn everything by yourself without any complain and you will learn how to move on by yourself
2. You mostly like to avoid the toxic people and get traumatized
3. You won't get involved into any unwanted trouble
bro 🫂❤
whenever i try to become extrovert , then i get involved into any unwanted trouble
As an introvert I unknowningly sometimes get myself into troubles because when someone makes me do something and I just f*** it and overthink about it for the next days
When I try to become extrovert I end up looking like a clown 🤡

I'm an introvert. I like people, but I like them a few at a time. Crowds stress me out!
I love being in a huge crowd like at a concert where I can remain anonymous but enjoy the energy. I don't mind social crowds, but after a very short time I feel burned out and lost. The best is being one on one or with a couple people you really get along with and they don't expect you to talk constantly. We can ride in a car with some silence and no one thinks its strange or anything... Heaven.

How to know you're an introvert: The words "Let's go around the room and introduce ourselves." trigger an internal panic attack.

@@kylie5209 I think you may be social introvert. There's 4 kinds of introverts tho
Honestly being an introvert is actually a blessing because you are one of the 30%-40% of the population that can spend time alone without losing their minds. I personally find being alone desirable sometimes, just looking out the window and getting lost in my own thoughts listening to music or just watching some movies and playing some games by myself, it’s a good experience.

It completely drains my energy and makes me feel like I am doing something very wrong just because I'm being myself.
Omg, I can definitely relate. Especially when it's your family members forcing you to socialize with other family relatives. What pains me the most is that sometimes, they usually don't even want to speak to the relative themselves, but has the audacity to ask you.

I am an introvert , I was bullied when i was in school . These bullies were physically weaker than me , but still bullied because i was a quite person . I requested them many times not to make fun of me . One day the three of them caused a great embarrassment to be infront of teachers and other students. This angered me , on the same day I beat all the three persons and warned them. They never bullied me ever again
What a coincidence this happens with me as well in school days. As i am the Silent boy in my school. People always make fun bullied me.
😂😂😂😂 those days.
I agree with you I also did the same thing. 😅 let's stay silent rather than being violent but those bugs digusts me. I taught them a big lesson.
LOVE IT. Dude, this was exactly me. While at a new school in the 6th grade, and into the 7th, I was relentlessly bullied and harassed by a group of aggressive tools I hadn't ever done anything to, especially this one POS in my class and his older brother. It wasn't just verbal, either, there were plenty of physical encounters. One day, I just finally had it and threw all caution to the wind and told myself I would happily accept whatever the results were, but I was going to rear up and do something. I can't even remember exactly what he had done that sent me over the edge, but one morning, early during English class, as I was walking my homework up to put on the teacher's desk, I walked by his desk, stopped briefly, swing my hips and drove my fist into the side of his head with everything I could muster. There was a tremendous "thud" from the fluid in his skull cavitating as he went flying out of his seat, and he let out of a spontaneous "F**K" after landing on the floor. The teacher, who was writing on the chalkboard at the time and had her back to the class, wheeled around and demanded to know the reason for his outburst. He pointed at me and wailed that I had sucker punched him, which of course, I had. She asked me if it was true, and I denied it. She sent him down to the principal's office. Later in the hour, the vice principal came and pulled me out of class to talk to me out in the hallway about the incident, and he asked me point-blank if I had struck him. Again, I had already accepted I was going to be punished as a result of what I did before I even did it, but in that moment, time seemed to freeze, and I had a startling realization: 10-15 other kids in that class saw what happened, and not a single one of them uttered a word to rat me out or to defend the bully. I was a quiet, bookish kid who didn't have beef with anyone, so I knew it wasn't because anyone feared any retaliation from me, and instantly realized what had to be the truth: they believed he deserved what he got. Which, of course, he did. Which meant it was just. So I looked that VP in the eye and confidently said "No, I didn't." The bully received in-school suspension for his use of profanity in class, and I walked free. That kid and his brother never even spoke a word in my direction again.
@@drmwpn what a coincidence i also bullied when i am in 6 grade. But f**k all of them. I have some problems in leg so they also make fun of me after 2 years i leave that school.

I am an ultra introvert. When I was in school, my teachers constantly tried to make me an extrovert. They compelled me to be the class leader , to sit in front row. There was an extra extrovert girl in my class. They told me to be like her. They were considering my introvert behaviour as a disorder. I felt so bad about myself during those days. But after school I moved out of my place and rediscovered myself. Now I love my company ❤️

It's not right to think that way, because your intelligence has nothing to do with your nature.

Introverts are not necessarily shy. We are also the majority (51%) but no extrovert will tell you that. Social media has made it less obvious how normal introversion is. Thank you for this thoughtful content!
I'm pretty sure social media probably accelerated being an introvert combined with covid because it made going outside unnecessary and covid made it impossibpe
A lot of shit that extroverts do seems utterly pointless to me. Sometimes it's so tiring to even watch them

I went to breakfast with my bf and his friends. And this lady tells me….. “quiet people make me uncomfortable, like are they listening to every word I say to use it against me?” Sighhhhh the narcissism. I’m literally quiet because they never talk about anything I would think is important and I can’t fake it. I immediately got on my phone and started playing Pokémon go and was in my own little world. I hate when people tell me how uncomfortable my peaceful state of mind makes them. Sorry I can’t fake like I’m interested in you and make small talk about waffles 🥴
People like that get on my nerves. Like why are you projecting that on me. If me being quiet bothers you it’s your problem. At least I don’t have to change myself to make others comfortable especially if I’m minding my own business.
The tuition sir used to tell my father that quite people are the most dangerous he meant me
Literally crying and laughing at the same time. So relatable, the fact that someone else being content is enough to piss some of these people off. What they are really wanting to say is “I can’t figure you out in two seconds and put you in a box, and it makes me uncomfortable, and it’s your fault”.

Many online definitions are actually written by people who dont have any knowledge about personalities such as introvert or extrovert. Being introvert doesnt mean being shy or talk less , its just some people prefer staying indoors enjoying theirselvs and have no relation to being shy. XD I am an introvert too and i can talk about stuff for hours if the topic interests me
@@Wat3rCoCk thats debatable, socialising is a choice. And may be its the society and system we live in, that we have subconsciously made a wrong judgement about introverts that they are shy, and hence as a result extrovert tend to be more confident in socialising near introvert
The one I hear a lot is phrased like: introverts get energy from having alone time while extroverts do so with socializing
I happen to be what people think is a stereotypical introvert
But even when I have opportunities with friends and family etc, I find myself sometimes still wanting to just do my own thing and keep to myself
Too much socializing is draining for me
@@V.U.4six exactly!
Most of my classmates told me that i have mental disorder and mental issues just bc im shy around ppl (well cuz im an introvert and i dont really open up to a lot of ppl)
Same! I’m a bit of a social introvert so I don’t really connect with those online definitions!
I was going through a deadly depression in 2017...at the age of 17..I started spending time with myself. I read...I read so much...I watched cinema so deeply...from that day to today..I am still a mystery to the world.. except my family and my one friend.no one knows me. No ask me how I am doing and it's ok...I am used to this peace...And It's kinda making my solitude more powerful. From last six years...I go to restro alone...I go to cinema alone... It's very crazy to say but I watched 9 movies in theatre all by myself on a single month. And in this last 6 years.. I've watched around 250 to 300 movies in theater All by myself alone. I enjoy this life. It's me who matters
i am also introvert but i think in the last sentence it should be it is I
“Why don’t you talk like them?”
Because I actually think about context and how every single person will respond to what I say and how I say it. If I spoke like them I’d give myself constant anxiety attacks. If I spoke like them I wouldn’t be me.
i dont talk like them because i genuinely dont know what to say a lot of times. plus, i havent gotten comfortable around them yet.
Exactly
That's not being an introvert that's social anxiety (you can be both tho lol)
Something extroverts will never understand
Man that long sentence... Your potential is very high, all the best, actually I am also same as you😶
One of mine friend was introvert.. Believe me it's very hard to understand introvert people.. Bcz they never share their side of story.. And most of time people assumed that they r rude or egoistic
Some people thinks I'm rude, which i like it. Less people to bother me.
I always waited to be asked my side of the story. I am to blame for my loneliness. So true what you said. I'm often thought of as anti-social. I hear the whispers. I use it to my advantage.
They assumed they r rude, bcz they always assume the worst🙄.
Some people believe that they should only share their own experience if they are asked. And some people believe that others want to know about their experience, even if they don't.
You know as an introvert I actually tried to open up a bit...but people won't listen to my side of the story. Which in turn made me feel like going to my own secure shell is good for me so I started to listen to others instead. Online friends tho are a lifesaver I got! I shared a few things with them & they listened so I actually got more confident in sharing my side ^^ tho yeah sometimes it's really annoying when you want to share your side of the story but nobody is willing to listen (and a fact for me that I can't even tell if they're actually listening to me or not)

Being an introvert is actually a gift. You can be someone who can focus on yourself and don't care about the society and live your own life. While many where sad about quarantine I actually loved it. I don't like these family interactions or social groups but prefer one on one conversations deep ones with people whom I love and care about. You can be an introvert and a great communicator. Introverts can have great careers and can be truly successful.

Idk why a lotta money in your possession would make your life miserable..
@@seanregner8934 In order to be happy, there should be enough money for basic stuff, but having a lot of money doesn't guarantee you happiness. For instance, you can never know if someone likes you for who you are, or because of your money. Happy people don't overaccumulate wealth IMO.
@@alexeysaranchev6118 but you don't have to have a lot of people around you or all of them having a good view of you to be happy. people like different things, so specific things make one happy. someone may seek happiness in creating a big family of friend group and someone in spending time in nature or do what they like that doesn't enquire communicating (e.g. drawing).
@salt gamingg he is an introverted
It always annoyed me when someone tells me to "speak" or "say something" just for the sake of talking when I really have nothing to say because I am either thinking or observing or just listening. One of the reasons I hate attending parties and gatherings is not because I hate people but because I wouldn't want to ruin other people's mood. As some people aren't used to quiet people like me, they would often tell me indirectly that I'm killing the mood of the party/gathering. I can talk if I actually have something to say or if there are people who would actually listen, but most of the time, they just want me to talk for the sake of talking. They don't really care. I spend my words like I spend my money. I spend it wisely and with intention.
Exactly.

Respect to all the Introverts out there and STOP making ppl define you else you won't be happy!
People are cruel. Just cause us introverts aren't speaking doesn't mean we're lazy. We're thinking of what to say because we don't want to insult anyone or we don't want to be on the wrong side. We don't talk with everyone, we pick the right ones that we feel comfortable with.
Very true

Every time I'm with my class, people I dont't know very much or even sometimes with my family I'm doing or saying really dumb things because (Or maybe I'm an idiot after all? Who knows) theres a lot of negative thoughts in my mind like ,,You're an idiot'' "Nobady's listening to you" or just simply the 'awareness' that I for sure will make an idiot out of myself or I'm going to do something wrong even at the most basic activities such as shopping. And yeah, most of the time that's how it happens. But as I'm alone I feel more confident about myself because I know that if there's noone around nobody's gonna laught at me or judge me, I can focus on the problem or a task, think about it and solve it. It's fucking annoyng.
Sometimes I feel like I need to push myself to be more extroverted, or else I’ll get a sense of FOMO for missing on social opportunities.. Does anyone ever get that way too? 🤷♀️
I do but I always failed and made myself look awkward...it was embarrassing...later I realized that I should be myself and not to fake myself as some one else whom I look up to...cuz that person is outgoing and extroverted...
@@kalyansapsd1Same. I realized that the "fomo" is more just "fear of being left out again unless I blend in awkwardly". SO much better to just accept who you are.
People or introverts can go out or to events and don't have to socialize. There are other things you can enjoy at events or places. Or just observe. You can also leave anytime or early. Or stay in a secluded spot.
Yup but that’s all just myth made by f*cking a*holes only dude! U only bcom safe frm many possible negatives when u choose to be alone. U can enjoy that way too but with the right ppl u love. There comes the real happiness
Do it. You'll be happier if you make friends and meet new people and have fun conversations. A study found that introverts who were compelled to act like extroverts were happier as a result.
It's not really that hard to talk to people. It takes a bit of practice, but once you get it down it will seem weird you ever thought it was a problem. One thing to remember is that most people are just like you- most people are shy when meeting someone for the first time, most people get self conscious sometimes, everyone sometimes struggles to come up with stuff to talk about. All that is natural, even relatable to most people.

Thanks Raunaq, for articulating the exact feeling of every introverts. It's almost like introverts are all connected. Everyone experiences the same feeling or goes through the similar situations at some time in their life. I used to copy somebody's character traits to be accepted from other people. But always I end up regretting the action. I advise anyone who is reading this please don't try imitate to somebody. You'll lose your originality, and your true self. Yes, It's difficult live in a world of extroverts but with some self-love and self-acceptance you'll get through life easily. I'll consider this comment as a reminder to myself :)
The worst thing that happened to me was in high school. I was popular in class and funny, but I was quiet and every time I finally started talking, someone always had to say something like "oh, look who knows how to talk," except to just behave normally. Then I get even quieter.
I regret not having a courage to reply like "FK off" and continue to say what i wanted to say louder
@@SirusStarTV I have the courage now, but I have problems because of it.

I hate when teachers pick on me, especially when I don’t know the answer to a question. I am the only person in my class that barely says a few sentences per day, and everyone just stares at me when the teachers do that, and it doesn’t help that there’s always one person laughing when I get the answer wrong, like honestly, they think they’re helping me come out of my shell but in reality they’re just pushing me in more.
@Areeba Rizwan I’m going into the next year soon, so I’ll be in a class with different people, hopefully not everyone will be as talkative as the people in my old class.
Damn, glad that I am not the only one:
- to feel socially awkward and out of "society"
- tried to be the "society"
- felt happy being accepted
- lived for while
- then started questioning who the fack I am
- had an identity crisis
- before finally resetting the expectations about myself and thus accepting myself.

Today morning a classmate just attacked me for being an introvert.
It hurt me a great deal coz it's not the first time someone is doing that. Only that this one was a little extra harsh.
Being an introvert is really difficult especially in college where everyone expects you to always have something to say about everything. They expect you to be outgoing and the "hello" you say while passing by is never enough for them.
They take one's quietness for a weakness,low self esteem and confidence. They literally take you to be a weakling! Incapable of doing anything at all.
Whereas the truth is that introverts prefer it that way. I personally hate small talk. And unless something is really of importance/ relevant to me at that particular time,then I'd rather not get involved in it.
But of course there are two people you lose yourself around. You can talk about anything with them freely.
I feel that the world should just look at everything from the bigger picture.
Lockdown made me understand more about myself... I enjoy being alone. I was actually pretending to be happy or cool by being in a group. I am very happy being a group but this makes me more happier and more peaceful perhaps.I ate alone in a restaurant ... Oh god... Awesome experience.. though everyone around me judged me.It was much better dinner.I really loved the silence in the restaurant and being lost in the thoughts. I ate the food I wanted and i actually enjoyed it. That acceptance thing is so true... Thank you Ranauq.❤️

I am a highly sensitive introvert. Not like I cry at the drop of a hat, just I feel so deeply about things and I can cry easily about it. I have been told I get too emotional and I am too quiet, like I haven't heard that all my life. People need to stop assuming I am a snobbish cry-baby, because if people would only get to know me I am very witty and smart.
this is literally me. we are not cry baby it's just that we can express emotions more as compare to someone else. it's ok everyone is different :)
I totally relate to what you've said. I'm almost always seen as snobbish and a tad cold, but this this period has been a huge turning point for me. I always asked myself, "What is wrong with me??"
*Why can't I express myself or communicate properly??"😰
I felt absolutely terrible for a long while. And after a real traumatic incident, I was shaken up so badly that I completely shut down 😖
But now, I'm doing alright... It's a work-in-progress.
I got to know about the extroverts and introverts. But going even further, I learnt that there were more classifications like in the 12 temperament theory, and the 16 MBTI personality types. It's been really helpful to me 😊
I really like this one channel in particular, if you wanna check it out (Frank James). He goes into these things really well, makes really funny and relatable jokes about these types of stuff (it's just wholesome all around😌). And I found I wasn't as alone in this as I thought. So give it a try, okay??
Hope you find some peace. God bless 😊

I am a 14year old & I talk to myself, daydream & stay alone almost the entire day. Sometimes even my mother calls me mad & says that I have developed a really bad habit because I talk to myself.
I love reading books & drawing, but I also like the idea of Adventure & travelling (though I haven't traveled anywhere). I laugh at myself - on my own & prefer exploring things on my own. Everyone of my relatives describes me as a shy child with not much confidence to talk (they always ignore that I score 90% above in most tests without any tuitions - even though they themselves ask how much I scored).

yep, this is me because if i decide to let someone into my life, i want to make sure they're a good addition to my life.
If I am on a bus , airplane or doctors office etc.. I will never start to talk first, mainly because I’m not interested in small talk at all. I don’t even like being around people that talk a lot, because to me it’s just meaningless jibber. I would much rather be alone with my thoughts or a book or pretending to be on my phone.

There are ways to draw introverts out of their shell. I am living proof that someone can be an introvert, and still be the popular person in the room.
I don't why someone wants to be popular. How dumb this feels?
Most introverts don’t care to be popular but I get what you’re saying. I’m pretty introverted but also people gravitate towards me for some reason. I think it’s the mystery
I think it’s because people rarely see us come out of our shells, so when they do, it’s unexpected. I think it’s that way for me at least
I feel like a lot of introverts would be more popular than most extroverts if we came out of our shells in front of people more often
Being introverted & being popular are not mutually exclusive.
You know what...my mom is an introvert like me but she doesn't know ...and somehow she never found a person who could understand the importance of one on one conversations in her life...she was always surrounded by extroverts in a joint family where everyone thought they understood her but didn't knew even a glimpse of her personality ....now when she sees me making choices just like her....she fears that I might also end up being alone in a crowd....she considers being introvert as a mistake..... generations of people like us have been overlooked and misunderstood ....sad for all those who will never get another chance to be themselves Infront of society!! This kind of awareness is necessary so that many people can feel free of compulsions the orthodox society forces on them!

No... not for me... i know im an introvert and im probably the only one in my class, no one wants to be friends with me and in the group projects im always known as the worst, the most useless student on the group.
But then even when i got told that i somehow still able to get 85+ marks on my exams (for some country 80 above score is B) and many people started seeing me as the suspicious type of guy that no one wants to be friends with. And until now, i dont know what is my goal and what should i do to make things right 😔
me when someone ask me to be an extrovert: "Fuck it , i literally dont care"
Introverts will be extremely social around the people who they know and people who know them (basically people who they're comfortable around)
Yeah, I'm quite sociable in small groups and with people I feel comfortable with, so those people never believe me when I tell them I'm an introvert. But when it's time to leave, I can't wait to get home and have my alone time.
yes, this is me. unfortunately, there were people that took this offensively but if im not close to them then of course im not going to be as warm and social around them.
yes I guess I'm more of a ambivert learning towards the introverted side, as I gain/loss energy depending on who it is. I'm not rlly shy tho I just prefer to keep my thoughts in my head.
@@cc10higasame here, on a fieldtrip, they put me with some strangers. And when I told them that I would rather stay with my classmates, they said “aRe wE nOt eNoUgH tO mAkE yOu hApPy??”
Its not social if its only with a few people. Social people interact with society and few people aren't society
Thank you, sir.
I admit that I have been feeling more and more alone lately. And it’s not just about being around other people-you can be in a crowd and still feel alone.
Me: Raunaq, why are you so good ?
Raunaq: I'm Introvert.
hahaha nothing like that :D
As an extrovert I 100% agree with this video, my best friend is an introvert which is kinda weird but introverts are looked at in a negative light which is dumb because people are different.
Exactly. The extroverts are the real narcissists.
Aw, we love people like you! Keep being yourself!
Pretty much we get called out for not being in the crowd. It's just what it is
Actually you're all the same
Being an introvert and having a best friend who is an extrovert is great, provided you understand each other. You can go to social do's, and the extrovert does the talking, breaks the ice, introduces you to people who they know be able to get along with, or if they're really good breaks the ice with a person you're interested in and then steps back at the right moment to leave you alone with them and also know when to rescue you. 😁
For the Extrovert they know they have a real friend, someone for whom a friend isn't some superficial thing, but someone who has your back in the difficult times, somebody they know they can call at 3am when life is too much.
This is so much relatable that I wanna throw this video on the face of all those relatives and so called friends who don't understand this simple concept. But then again being an introvert it's not "our thing" to do so. 😂
@Arjun Warrior Prince but introvert girls reject everyone.😂
I mean, I just throw videos in people's faces and wait to see their reaction. Though I don't like talking about whatever, I like debating, testing and grinding my ideas until I get a nice tempered which I use to stab people's flimsy comments when they least expect it.
So, yeah. This guy's party, this person's wedding, I am silent. I don't exist when people ask for pictures for this video or when people ask for volunteers for this event. Bring me something like a philosophical idea, an argument on certain political situations and you will have me talking arguing and counter arguing you all day.
@@ODDnanref kinda relatable !
All my life i always felt like I was trash, the way my family talked to me made me feel like i was an alien. I had some though like "why am I like this? Why me? Why I'm not normal like my sisters or cousins? " I lacked confidance for so long, and i still do. I'm actually 19 right now.
Being an introvert I would pretend many times like not being present in the house eventhough someone knocks the door or rings the bell.. and I love to do it because it makes me feel good and peaceful 😅.. just to avoid ppl😂🙊
I do the same
Thats soo me😂😂
😂😂 this is so true !!!
Same
Ive got dangerous relatives. Realised this when I once tried to do this and my uncle started breaking the car garage door down, Im certain he would have broken in if i really wasnt there. FUCK RELATIVES.
40 years old here. Not really struggling with being introvert, only struggling with loneliness sometimes. But I find your video very thoughtfull. Subscribed. Keep creating these thoughtfull content!
Please tell me that you have a partner. My biggest fear is to stay single for life because of my introversion that don't allow me to find a girlfriend.
@@mente_anima3 Seems like no
Finally I am feeling good for being an introvert!
glad that you could connect and feel a little better :)
I am proud introvert
Yeah, I already knew. But who cares about other f*cking people's opinions?
You should. Introverts are cool
Really? You need permission to be yourself .Pathetic.
Thank you so much for making this video. My whole life I’ve been known as the “shy girl”. I was and still am terribly insecure about it. Fast forward to about a month ago, I went to a party and I felt so out of place and my mind keeps telling me it’s because I’m an introvert so I’m shy and can’t talk to people. When you said “Accept that you can’t please everyone” I suddenly felt the urge to cry. Of course I’ve heard this before, but living in the society of extroverted people your constantly being told being an introvert is a bad thing, or automatically assume you want help. I need to realize that one party, and one situation like that doesn’t define who I am as a person.
Another thing I struggle with is that I already don’t have a lot of friends, and when I’m not listening to people I’m perfectly happy with that. But there is this one friend (let’s call her Sarah). Ive known Sarah since kindergarten and we’ve been friends ever since, but lately (the past year) ive noticed we’ve been drifting apart. We don’t have alot in common anymore and ive been trying my best to tell Sarah my interests and all that but I don’t think she’s taking the hint. I feel like I’m so afraid of losing her even though I’m not any happier having her as my “friend” right now.
I’m so happy that I got to watch this video, because it isn’t another case of “extrovert thinks you need help” and it’s from another introvert whom has struggled with the same thing as me. I’m really hoping instead of “becoming more social” I can accept myself on this journey of self improvement.
Being an introvert I sometimes feel bad seeing other people having so many friends bcz i hardly have 4-5 friends but then I feel thankful also bcz the ones I have are the people who have accepted me for who i am they don judge me...also i feel socially awkward wen i'm around relatives they talk talk & talk n wot i do is just sit quietly and listen to them nd answer them in my mind 😂🤭
I just have 2 ..but i talk to many(rarely) on text :)
Me too I have very few friends. I talk a lot when I am with them but rarely texted them and never called them by myself. 😂🤣😂 I see whole comment section is filled up with amazing introverts 😝
The 4 friends i have treat me like use and throw dishes
@@muktakoli6656 then leave them ..and live your life fullest! Theres no place of Toxic ppl in our lives
TRUST ME! ;))
@@muktakoli6656 How about taking first step and stop refering to them as friends
you are right :) IT IS an extrovert's world. Even thou there are so many introverts we are just "weird"?
I don't even think my mom know what is an introvert so I'm just like a weirdo who doesn't like to talk. probably seen as lazy too
Same here 😑
Can't relate more.
As an introvert, One of my desires is to go and watch a movie in theatre from my first salary package but I got a job only after corona😭
you'll get there soon :)
Having that best friend is cool too... nothing's more great than going to some place to eat something and talking about the awesomeness we just saw in the theatres with enthusiasm
cause lol small talk sucks.... deep talks with best buddy.... hell yeah
But in home, i love to put on earphones and watch alone... nothing beats that
This is the most relatable thing i've seen in my entire life. Its giving me hope that i'm not alone, that there are other people out there who are just like me.
I almost feel guilty for loving being alone so much. Sometimes,I take vacations from work, just to stay at home and be alone. And listen to retro wave music all night lol
Being an introvert doesn't mean being self conscious or having low self esteem.Maybe some people have these problems but that doesn't mean all introverts are shy and lack confidence...It simply means that these people enjoy their own company more,they know the value of time so they don't spend time gossiping or going to weekend parties..They spend time reading books and working towards their goals that develop them as a person..And the biggest irony is that they don't really feel shy while talking,infact many of them have great speaking skills because they have the patience to listen and understand.They just don't spend time speaking about things that don't matter to them.
Well I'm not a complete introvert but I too enjoy my company..But I enjoy hanging out with friends and socializing💖
Being an introvert myself I would love to comment on this video as it feels more spacious than any other place as...... Thank you for such an existence that really exist
True! I'm very comfortable with fellow introverts.😊
:D
In life I don’t want more than just one best friend, And it’s hard to make that one friend.
"If you stare at a call till it is over"
Oh yes introvert
My mom's friends to my mom : why your daughter behaves like dumb and shy and finally compares me to their extrovert daughter..
But actually they don't know, how my analysis and humours going inside my mind.
🤭samee here
This is the reason that I started questioning myself and try to change and behave like others at every step.
Same 😝🤣
@@shivashakti1210Yes you are right but, If I try to act same like extrovert then I feel like uncomfortable 😐 , and I wish I won't exist there and also as, I won't see those person ever.🙁
Whenever I see these aunties, I judge them, mock them, counteract them and make offending jokes about them...in my mind!
I had a therapist in high school who considered being an introvert a form of mental illness. He claimed it was part of "Antisocial personality disorder" I was also on the autism spectrum. I went through some form ABA education (Appropriate Behavior Analysis) My parents and aunt wanted me to become an extrovert. They said being an introvert was bad for me, I'd never be successful. They would force me to go to large family parties. They forced me to talk to every person there. I had to shake hands and make small talk. My therapist said I spent too much time alone. I had a few friends and went out socially with them. I was friends with them since I was in grade school. My therapist and family said I needed to make new and more friends. (They wanted me to spend time with mentally ill and people on the autism spectrum) They said I should "stick with my own kind" SMH! I fought them and kept my old friends. They decided to commit me to a mental institution then make me live in a group home. Where I could "get socialized. They told me "it was for my own good" They wanted me to stop being an introvert because it would make me become a sociopath. I had a huge breakdown. I had no privacy there. Had to share a room with 3 other people. I wasn't allowed to have anytime to myself. I had to be with someone at all times. After my breakdown, my parents realized that it was wrong to force me to change. I told them I was an introvert and not "anti-social" I am glad there are TH-cam videos toady that show being an introvert isn't bad.
I feel bad for you man
I have indeed been tormented by other people because I am an introvert, but regarding your experience, it is more. Dude, I cried a little and feel sorry for you
You had such a bad time. Hope you are doing great now and pray to God to give u all the happiness❤️
BUT LIKE WHY THE HELL DID YOUR PARENTS THINK YOU COULD SWITCH FROM INTROVERT TO EXTROVERT
Ambivert in the spectrum here
Bruh that’s horrible.
Being Introverted does not equal a Mental illness! It’s just the way we are, we can’t control it. yeah, we can have friends but this doesn’t make us extroverts, even with friends we’ll still be introverts and no one can change that.
I’m glad your parents changed their minds.
