all of the introverts I know IRL (about 20) and most of the pages I read on them make it sound like being an introvert is like the hardest thing in the world. some of the most common things they say are
- no one understands me
- people think I'm antisocial
- I don't know anyone else like me
- I really like people, but I don't know how to show it
- people drain me
- I need to be alone so much
at least 12 of them say they wish they were extraverted and I'm sitting here thinking 'nigga you crazy!'*
- you don't need people
- you don't have to urge to talk non stop, whore for attention or do things that are impulsive or stupid
- you can focus better (although this applies much more to J than I)
- your natural tendencies are so much more mature and classy (especially INTJs)
- you're grossly overrepresented in the gifted community
- if you are an introvert and stupid, people still assume you're intelligent
- you can say nothing for extended periods of time and then pop out bad ass one liners than make people go "oh ssssssshit!"
- you're naturally mysterious and bad ass
- you have an excuse to be left the fuck alone
so what do all the introverts out their think? do you like being an introvert? is it hard? do you wish you were an extrovert?
*I'm white, but I feel like this phrase best matches my mental response to them saying that (white people language lacks attitude, edge and personality). please don't turn this into an "Elfboy is a racist!" thread
