  • @JohnthePixelizedGuy
    @JohnthePixelizedGuy 3 года назад +71

    The question "does being around groups off people make you energetic or does it make you exhausted" makes me conflicted because on the one hand I tend to overthink a lot in social situations due to struggling with social anxiety at the moment. But on the other hand, when I'm not socially anxious, most of the time I'm actually the most extroverted person in the room and I totally thrive off of social interaction. If anything, when getting into new environments I tend to search for people to interact with and that I may be compatible with, but then what tends to happen is over time I get drained and just want a break. It sucks to say the least lol, but it also kinda sucks that there doesn't seem to be much attention to my kind of personality. Even the way Peterson said it: you either thrive off of social interaction, are drained by it, or if you're in the middle "you can take it or leave it in regards to social interactions". It's not always that simple (idk why I wrote all this haha, but there you go for anyone that's interested I guess)

      I too relate to this.
      I did the understandmyself,com test and turned out I am fairly high in extraversion but extremely high in neuroticism. That did explain it for me, as in that sense people like us percieve a new environment as a place of potential danger, but once we make sure thats not the case, then we can act like ourselves.

      Cuz one direction towards the extreme is not healthy in the long run. Too much introversion will border on social anxiety, which will hinder social interaction and self improvement. I'm not on the extreme end, but wish I was more in the middle. Hard to get to know people when I'm more introverted than I want to be. My ideal mix would be a dose of both.

    I'm introverted, but I learned to switch to extraversion on occasions that required it at university due to FOMO. I have not stopped being introverted, but I made certain friends and attended certain events that meant I forced myself to be sociable just to fit in at least for the duration of those events. On the whole, I like being alone or with few very familiar people, but I find that can limit my experiences and opportunities. It also builds me up for more anxiety when meeting or even just briefly engaging with new people. The whole world becomes a massive field of anxiety pins waiting to pop my introspective balloon. As I have gone into my 30s, my introversion has returned in its original intensity, maybe contributed by the lockdowns. I cannot stand social obligations that guarantee new people will be present and will demand my acquaintance. I cannot stand unannounced surprise social encounters or engagements. I cannot stand social occasions of any kind that put me out of my own driving seat in whatever context. But I also find that extended periods of time alone make me depressed. I am at a loss as to how to strike the right balance

      I feel what you feeling and I envy you for the fact that you could manage attending events and you forcing yourself to be sociable.

  • @hh-tf6zr
    @hh-tf6zr Год назад +1

    Usually, people who are more social are happier. Introverts, don't be too upset. Extroverts, don't be too happy.
    The key is to find a suitable environment for you. Being an extrovert in the Tyrannical age is a catastrophe.
    Extrovert sees the world as an opportunity to socialize. Introvert sees the world to be a retreat and be alone.
    It is a quite stable trait. you are able to learn skills to expand your introvert/extrovert character. But, it is not that much.
    choose your working environment that matches your personality. choose your partner with a similar trait.

    • @nyc4life448
      @nyc4life448 2 года назад +13

      This is why sum introverts don't like extroverts. Where is it written that everybody has to run their mouth all day? You can get close to an introvert but you have to be the right person. Anybody coming across as fake, shallow, stupid, annoying, and immature, will get rejected by the introvert. Not all extroverts are annoying but every annoying person I know is extroverted. They ask questions about things that shouldn't concern them. They give their opinion when whatever's going on is none of their business and nobody ask what they think.
      I got my earphones in my ear but the extrovert is still talking. "What's in the bag?" "Why are you wearing that hat?" "That's all you're wearing?" "You're not cold?" "Why you have a bald head?"
      "You never shave your beard." You see, annoying stuff like that. This is why we don't like most or half the extroverted population. You're the life of the party. Great! Good for you. Everybody's not a talker. Sum people run their mouth all day and sum people don't talk much. It's called a different personality, nothing to do with being anti social. Genetically the introvert is wired to be introverted just like the extrovert is genetically wired to seek attention by running their mouth day, always gotta stand out and be seen. The quiet one has nothing to prove. That's part of the reason Why quiet people are quiet. I get to work in the morning, say good morning to my supervisors, clock in on the computer and then go upstairs and get to work, simple as that. I'm not looking for anybody's validation, don't need it. This is because I'm comfortable in my skin. I don't see the necessity in talking just to be talking, makes no sense. Just say a few words and that's that. My extrovert co workers have to stand there and speak layers upon layers upon layers upon layers of gibberish. And then they can go upstairs. Jeeez, trying to get the extrovert to understand introversion is a severely complicated task. We have to be labeled as anti social, don't trust the quiet ones, serial killers, mass shooters, krazy, depressed, low self esteem. It's really the other way around. The one that's always talking most likely has low self-esteem. Introverts for the most part wanna left alone. Extroverts gotta be seen and heard.
      Theres an old saying that goes "empty cans make the most noise."
      "I'm here everyday always talking and laughing but how do you know I don't cry myself to sleep every night when I'm at home."
      That was said by my extroverted highschool teacher.
      We keep hearing all these negative stereotypes about introverts but I'm willing to bet the people who really need to check themselves are extroverts.
