    I hate that in today's world, Introverts (like myself) are always treated like they had some disorder that they need to fix. Respecting that is something I need in a friend- or relationship.

    • @Sharkie_rq45
      @Sharkie_rq45 Год назад +93

      I think it's because the generalization of introverts is that you need to be careful or gentle, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, if it's done right. It's not a problem, you don't need to fix it, but it helps to at least recognize it correctly.

      Who cares if people are introverts, you are allowed to be Introverted even if it is not accepted in society. It's a good thing to not open up to everyone, not everyone deserves to know you. Some introverts are extroverted depending on who they are with. Therefore your observations are not entirely accurate.

      Yeah as someone that’s mostly introverted I can confirm and in todays world extroversion is rewarded like for example my schools award system favoured extroverts and you were more likely to get an award if you were more extroverted which I just hate and my school was basically saying that introversion was a mental disorder that needed to be treated and this is obviously not true at all we don’t need to be fixed we’re just introverts in a extroverted world that thinks we need to be corrected which is just sad

    As an introvert, I find my own joy in music and reading. However, something about today's world is that introverts are treated as if they have some problem because we prefer to keep quiet and try to "fix us" and by doing so, they just make us more uncomfortable with sharing our interests. Btw, I love how psych2go brings psychology to our everyday life in an understandable and comfortable manner. :)

    A problem I have with todays world, is that so many people are always wanting to get to know you even when you just want to spend time alone and away from people. A while ago, there would be times at school when your new teacher wants to get to know everyone better by doing that thing where everyone says something about themselves in a circle, or they play games with everyone that includes speaking up and going out of your comfort zone. I think many people today can most likely relate to this and it can be stressful at times.

    I am an introvert. The one thing that fits me to a T is intellectual stimulation. I am really into that. I am a total nerd. I enjoy thinking about deep and complex topics. It is so fun. My favorite subject is fantasy. I also like science, religion, politics and New Age. One subject I like is psychology. So the Psyche To Go channel is right up my alley. Heck today I was writing in my first Dungeons and Dragons journal. Dungeons and Dragons is hard core hard core fantasy nerd stuff. Learning how to play is difficult due to complex rules. Yet it so much fun to dive in due to all the creatures, classes, worlds and history. It is so awesome. I am getting to the hang of playing. That is good. Then I can engage in the stuff that is cool. That might be the great grandaddy of modern fantasy games. Giving the brain a workout has mental health benefits. I am glad that there are benefits for reducing stress and anxiety. I think it also reduces the risk of dementia when one gets older. I am not exactly sure. If one keeps their mind sharp with intellectual stimulation, the mind is less likely to waste away. I would rather have an elderly person be super wise instead of being super forgetful and dim.

    This video has definitely described me being introvert. I just recently starting talking to someone at my workplace whom has been there for some months. I just decided to start a conversation with her and come to find out she is also an introvert. From my observation, she also likes the quiet like me and seems to enjoy the few one-on-one conversations we’ve had. Having two introverts trying to create a bond in a mass wide work environment is rather interesting to me. I want to learn more about her but the windows and circumstances are so thin and short. Making a connection is one thing, but expanding that connection is another challenge. There is a reason why I keep small and tight circles. Hopefully things can grow.

      I really wish you all the best! I know this feeling. Sometimes when you like someone but you're both introvert and don't have that much time to talk at work, chatting really helps, at least me. I didn't feel so insecure because I didn't have to talk right to the person but could read a message over and over before I sent it. Afterwards we started to talk more face-to-face because we had some topics from our chat conversation and things automatically went their way.

I never function in a group myself, I always feel like an outsider and I am never the 'popular' one or the leader, or an integral part. I just don't function in groups unless I'm being excplicitly told what to do or if I have the authority to tell the group what to do. But it would be draining and not my preferred way to work.

    Most of the points mentioned are so true for me. I love one-on-one conversations and observing people and my surrounding environment. I enjoy reading, listening to and playing music, studying psychology and sociology amongst other solo activities. But that doesn't mean I don't enjoy socialising. It's true that it can sometimes get overwhelming and exhausting though: need personal space and time to recharge. Thank you for the video.

    I don’t know what I am.. most of these things described in the video are what I have ended up having to do as a lonely person.
    I used to think I was an ambivert because I used to have a group of two best friends and me that I loved deeply as a friend, and felt that I had deep friendships with both of them.
    I consider myself to be very personable and interpersonal and can juggle multiple people at once.
    I have learnt over the years that I’m only uncomfortable in larger groups if there is someone there that I don’t like, or if at least one person is horrible, deceitful, selfish, or unpleasant.
    I used to be a people-pleaser, it’s gotten me into so much trouble and pain as a teenager, and I’d often find myself in massive groups of people and I’d most of the time be completely left out because I’m not as wild or outspoken as some of these people, and I didn’t share their interests (promiscuity, drugs etc).
    I’ve struggled all of my life to find my own “people” which I’ve now come to define as simply empaths, as those are the only people I can cope with now.
    I don’t have any friends left because everyone has used, abandoned or abused me in some way. I’m now very cynical of the world, and have trust in absolutely no one, and I even have a strained relationship with the closest person to me who is my mother. It is very isolating having no friends who have the very high maturity and empathy levels that I have, who require more intellectual things in life. Don’t get me wrong I’m very happy to listen to dance music and party, but I also need time to do more brain-stimulating things as well.
    I’m friends with an old colleague I used to work with now, and I feel like she is also using me out of loneliness like other people have done all of my life, if not for other selfish ends. I don’t know anyone who has a pure need for friendship anymore, I’ve never met another real genuine person like myself. 😞😢💔
    And yes, I have tried looking online for friendships, but it’s hard to be friends with someone you find attractive! And if they’re not attractive, they’re more often than not a narcissist or other kind of person just using you for selfish reasons! I give up on life.. I really do. I’ve felt this way since I was a teenager. Therapy hasn’t helped me.. I’m doomed to feel alone for the rest of my life… 😢
    I am however one of the most introspective people I’ve ever met, but I wouldn’t put it down to introversion, I would put it down to the horrible life and experiences I’ve had..

    Okay, you got me. I was nodding at most of these. I love mentally exploring complex ideas to see how they're supposed to work. The puzzle of detective stories, the big ideas of science fiction, and the complex nuances of philosophy, especially politically philosophy, have often kept me thinking about things. I also like exploring physical spaces, like houses, buildings, parks, gardens, or nature trails. It's quite fun finding a secret or little-used room or space. And planning and organizing is just a matter of putting ideas to work. And if I have to talk to people, it's almost always better to talk one-on-one instead of to a group of people. Unless I need to be rescued by having someone else take over the conversation.

  • @natalienajmonova1154
    @natalienajmonova1154 9 месяцев назад +3

    I was somehow forced to be at least little extroverted when I was little. The cause was that my younger sister is shy and was almost unable to make friends with new people. So I always made "friends" with them and withdrew from the scene later. I don't like to be in big groups, but it seems I am somehow good at creating connections between other people. I identify myself like an introvert, but when really needed I can stand between extroverts for a short amount of time if needed.

  • @theaprentice6437
    @theaprentice6437 Год назад +3

    I agree with all of these. I mostly just feel overwhelmed in public settings and tend to overthink every little thing I say, do or hear. Logic tells me Im over reacting to most things, but I can’t help. Definitely makes it hard for me because (as for the “intellectual stimulation”) I have been thinking over ideas for stories that I want to post on RUclips, but it’s the actual DOING it part that has slowed me down. I have plenty of material to work with but bringing it to a public platform just makes me anxious. I’ve shared my first recording with my friend (and we both died of laughter from how awkward I sounded) but it’s been sitting there for months now. Realizing this now I’m hoping to edit it and post it before I change my mind.

    As an introvert, I just love hugs! Especially comforting ones when I am down (which i dont get, as I dont feel safe around my parents and I dont break down in front of friends). I suffer from a bad mentality, and all I want is a hug from someone. Thats the reason why I always hug my friends.
    I also love seeing people (especially classmates) getting along with each other and me. I am currently in a class who gets along with each other well. The boys include everyone in sports and I love that. It feels like I'm included.

      I also think that comforting hugs are the best!! However I myself find it pretty hard to open up to people and show them that this is what I need... I guess if you hug your friends a lot they will realise that maybe physical touch is your love language and comfort you in that way.
      It sounds really good that you feel happy and included in your class, I hope it will stay that way!!

    As an introvert, I agree with all of these things. Personally, it can be a very hectic challenge. With things I have to force myself to go through, I don't want to go through longer in the future. I just wanna have my own space, be alone away from crowds of people.
    For example, I have to work. I plan on publishing books in the future and being a RUclipsr 💗 But for now, I have to work, I have to go outside, and I have to talk to people. It's a challenge for me because I become easily overwhelmed and panic wanting to get away from everyone. It isn't easy and when I do want my own space that's not until I go home and sit in my room taking my time breathing and calming down.
    I wish there were easier alternatives for Introverts. I hope I didn't make that sound too far off.
    But it feels so much better in my own space. I tend to overthink a lot so it's normal for me daily. But I wish I had the power to create my own universal space 😂

One-on-one interactions can be great, but also scary because sometimes someone starts yelling and it hurts, making me not want to have those important conversations. For me the intellectual stimulation is my math class. I’m in the advanced math class this year and I don’t have the kids who get up and walk around the classroom for no reason other than to distract people in my class, so it helps me focus much easier. As for the planning and organization, it’s a bit of a hot mess. It’s fun to organize my books or jewelry though because it’s not a task as big as clearing my desk and reorganizing it.

When they hear that I live a solitary life they immediately demand that I put my self in situations that make me feel uncomfortable just to make them selves feel better, they feel like theyre doing something to help me but in reality theyre pushing me deeper into the little box I hide in because theyre doing the exact things that I am trying to remove my self from. I dont want those idiots forcing me into dangerous situations with people I dont know and so I stop talking to them too.
