WE DON'T NEED FIXING!!! Finally!!! People should understand that!! I think the most difficult thing of being an introvert is trying to convince people that there's nothing wrong to let us be!!! Thanks for letting people know!
I believe this idea of introverts needing to be "fixed" is due to the way media portrayes the World and the World feeling more extrovert friendly. That has in a way lead to people think of extroversion as "normal" and some people have gotten this urge to get rid of the things deemed as weird, sometimes without even considering that not being "normal" is good.
@@SleepingGroke This was obvious in the C-19 lockdowns where the media went berserk about the problems of extroverts; oh, the stress,oh the struggles of being forced to stay at home and not relate to people. The fact this is daily inflicted on introverts in normal life was never really noticed, and lo, we went back to normal and suddenly introverts are expected to act like extroverts again.
@@XYpsilonLPLol there is actually a quote saying "People always tell introverts to be more talkative and leave their comfort zones, yet no one tells extroverts to shut up to make the zone comfortable."
I had a close friend. She was in the middle. She tried to get me to be more outgoing. I couldn't do it. I failed. She left me in time and I respect that as she wanted to explore the world and needed a friend that wasn't all people shy and aloof. And I wasn't that friend. It's hard being an introvert when you want some contact but can't find anyone cause youre surrounded by extroverts and middle but no introverts in sight.
It’s not that I can’t talk with people. I tend to be kind in some ways (even if I don’t wanna do something, I try to see its good side for enjoyment. But not always it works) to people, and try to talk to them. But as an introvert as I am, going out seems rather tough.
Hi! I’m sorry. I don’t know how this’ll sound but I’m an ambivert or an omnivert (not sure which). If you feel like I don’t quite understand, I’m not offended, I just wanna say, sorry you guys feel like this. I really am. Either way, I’m sure you’ll find the right friend soon!
Hello Khalilah D. Iv have a Question for you Is it okay to ask if your an introvert, so i dont step on your boudaries? I wonder because am an ambivert, i never knew how an introvert would think like this ?
True ☺ its like our own world where ideas are like popping one by one but my brothers are extroverts so they thought im weird and they say they cant understand me coz i often alone in my room, i went out with my friends when needed but mostly i like to be in mybown space even my bf knows it so im happy he understands me well since its also good for him coz he also want to have his own time though hes not introvert ☺
The thing that annoys me the most is the last one mentioned. I am fine staying at home most weekends and hanging out with 1/2 friends, but apparently no one else in my environment is, always trying to force me to hang out more, to be more social, to meet more new people (which I'm okay with, but as mentioned I dislike the small talk so...) It's tiring Very nice video ♥️
@@Psych2go Some of my friends are indeed extroverted, but usually they understand that I'm not haha Mainly talking about my family. For example, for them not going out from home every single day of the week is weird, unlike for me, that going out from home every day sound horrible, and they keep making me feel weird for that every single day. Also for them hanging out only to walk with a friend or have a coffee and not partying with 20 people it's also a weird thing... Things like that Thanks for everything you do with your videos!
Wish I had access to these kind of videos growing up in the 90s so I could show my extremely extroverted dad that I didn't go hide in my room after a while of having large gatherings to be rude but I needed time to recharge. He would force me out and to interact with his friends while I had no energy to. Eventually he'd get upset that I was being so quiet that he he would tell me to go back to my room, "Seeing as you're being so rude and not participating."
Sorry to hear that you had to go through this experience. The internet really has changed things and more awareness about different personality types are created.
Your dad was the one being "rude" but he certainly did not realize it. The irony. If we are not accepting of different personality types it definitely can perceived as rude.
I always had the need to just get away and be alone after a social event. I beat myself up about it for years. But I'm just an introvert and I'm OK with that now.
As an extrovert whose partner is an introvert, and never having had any introverted friends up until now, these things took a while to figure out for me! A lot of behaviours and social needs are just so fundamentally different and it's hard to get your head around that at first when you have nothing but your own experience to go on. But it can be really enjoyable and beneficial for both people involved as long as there's mutual understanding :)
I'm glad you're improving your understanding of introverts!! Bare in mind that shyness isn't an introvert quality, it's a human quality associated with introverts. Being introverted means that you need time to recharge after a social gathering, not that you're scared to be a part of one. Just thought I'd share that information have a nice day :)
@@mimisolo7778 Oh for sure, he's great with other people, just needs a loooot of rest afterwards to the point of spending all day in bed, whereas I can just get up at 7 in the morning and carry on as usual. Really interesting how human brains are wired so differently!
@@mimisolo7778 Oh, and I guess it's also important to mention that to extroverts, some of these behaviours can even seem alarming at first, especially when (like me) they've been around people with depression or anxiety disorders or have experienced them personally. Makes it hard not to worry at first, especially when an introvert doesn't easily share what's going on in their head, so "alone time" can be interpreted as "not reaching out". As always, communication is key :)
I am in the verge of losing my partner because I’m an introvert & he just doesn’t understand my needs. I love who they are & I just want to be loved for who I am 😢
As an introvert, I completely agree with writing rather than talking. I always form my communication better as I write. When I try to talk, I usually panic and stutter a bit even though I have a sentenced form in my mind 🤣 It just takes awhile to get to know introverts. Another thing is we're patient with others as well when we peak an interest in them.
While I can speak reasonably well, unless something is urgent if you wish to communicate then I much prefer an email or text. I find people call with a phone at the most inconvenient and inopportune times.
Oh this is the bane of my existence. My mind moves quick but my mouth doesn’t. I often speak very fast, slur my words together, and sometimes skip over them. Skipping words is the worst. I’ll try and say it again to make sure I’m being understood but that requires me to backtrack through my train of thought and pick right back up where I left off, leading to mumbling or being at a loss for words. I have no trouble whatsoever with lying though. It’s probably just an artifact of my strict upbringing but I can always come up with a coherent and plausible story to explain what I was caught doing in under a second while speaking clearly.
My husband and I are both introverts, so when we have disagreements or mental health bad days, we text our feelings to each other so we can get them out in the way we want to. Mind you, if it's still tense, we take a break before talking again. :)
Here you go! 1. We dislike small talk 2. We like writing more than speaking 3. We value time alone to get things done 4. We're selective about our friends 5. We dont need fixing
As an introvert, I read a lot about introverts to better understand myself. However, this was the first time I learned that introverts prefer writing to speaking. That would absolutely be me. Writing allows me to organize and develop my flood of thoughts on a particular subject; speaking does not. In fact, I enjoyed writing so much that I studied to become a journalist in my younger years. (Sadly, that did not happen.)
I've always been fascinated by how introverts manage to enjoy their time alone Cause I definitely can't( I would love tips about that if you've got any) Also fun fact: as an ENFP, I really enjoy befriending introverted people. I find it cute when they try to open up slightly to show me they like me and they consider us close friends. I just love the adventure of getting to know them slowly... Y'all are appreciated❤️ Edit: guys I don't know how to thank you~ y'all are so kind and helpful Thanks to everyone who replied 💜
I’m an INFP! We find it equally fascinating to see extroverts socialize for hours and not need a break. Usually I will read or watch RUclips for my recharge time. When my house is empty I’ll put on loud music and dance however I want to. I tend to avoid people because I have a lot of socially based anxiety so even just being around people in silence is heavily draining. As for tips- it’s all about how you think of it. Me, I can do anything at all for my alone time because I am content with my own company/skills. I may not have any confidence but alone time is just about being in the moment and being able to do whatever you want without the pressures of people watching or judging you. Everyone judges; it may not be a bad judgement but they still judge and that’s tiring. So having those moments where it’s just you and only you have a say in what you do and when you do it is very calming. I appreciate your view of befriending introverts. I can say we really appreciate having an extrovert friend when we have the energy to go out(so you can deal with all the people) and also appreciate when they recognize when it’s too much and aren’t offended by us needing breaks.
@Pauline Elric I LOVE INFP people! Thank you for the tips btw it's really interesting to know your POV, because I simply do whatever I want in crowds and don't care about judgements :D that's why I don't get tired of socializing It's mostly staying unbothered when people don't like it when you are being you, I just avoid them And it's also helpful because at least in my community, introverts are easily misunderstood and others think they are weird or selfish... But because I had really high depression and anxiety levels, I understand them, so I tend to attract a lot of introverts, which makes me kinda scared sometimes because I'm afraid I'll make them uncomfortable. So I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts
As an introvert, I never think of it as alone time. The only real difference between introverts and extroverts is where they get their energy from, so even though I actually really enjoy talking to people(particularly close friends) I always need time to rest afterwards. Also it's important that you're spending time alone because you want to and you're doing something that genuinely interests you, otherwise you get bored/lonely. Also my question is this: if extroverts gain their energy from social interaction, do they need to recharge after time alone, or do they find it soothing? I'd love to be able to know that because I've never quite understood how people like that function:P
I agree! There are some traits of an extroverts that I'm fascinated by! I don’t fully understand them as they dont fully understand us introverts but I do love to learn more!
The last one is so true. I'm and introvert and my boyfriend is an extrovert. At the beginning he kept on trying to make me more social, but after explaining to him a hundred times that I don't like that, he finally understood and stopped trying to "make me more social". However, I have a friend, who even after explaining it to a MILLION times, he still doesn't get it. "How can you be burnt out after going out? Why do you need so much rest? Don't be lazy" 😑😑😑😑
I had that same issue. It's hard to be an introvert around extroverts. My boyfriend would be upset at me because I would not socialize with his friends, embarrassing him in the sense. I told him I'm exhausted from the day around people, from work to family. He had to give his friends some excuse that I was tired and it was past my bedtime. Again, that is not it. I get overwhelmed within a large gathering for a long period of time and i cant make a connection with people i can't see my self share a common interest in. It's who I'm. I need peace and quiet everyday before I can deal with the world. He never understood why i perfer the quietness versus his need to be in noise all the time, everyday. But eventually he understood and no longer forces me to interact with his friends anymore. He does it and I'm just listen. I didn't choose to be an introvert, none of us did, but it's our life, our function.
@@patriciapat2106 Thank you, Pat. I am glad that everything worked out with you except for that friend that keeps asking you that question. I feel you shouldn't have to explain it that many times.
Thank you SO MUCH for that last point! ❤ Throughout my life there have been several people who have tried to “fix” me; growing up I frequently felt pressure to be extroverted. I wish I could 👍 this video a hundred times myself. Here in the US, our culture is very extroverted, and there are a lot of people who still don’t understand how we’re different, even though we’re just as common as extroverts (and ambiverts).
Thanks for this. My boyfriend is an introvert and I’m quite the opposite, so it’s hard to understand what he wants sometimes. This gave me some great perspective.
Small Talk is something I only use to fill up space. I'm very selective about my friends. So when someone brings me into a group I don't enjoy it. If someone breaks my trust I get very guarded on my friendships for a long time. Which ends up making me feel lonely even when with my closest friends. It creates problems when someone is trying to find my interests based of my small talk, because half of what I'm talking about could just be filling up space. Which I can find myself being an annoyance to friends.
I love being an introvert but the worst thing about it is the lack of understanding the world seems to have of us and the assumption that we need fixing because there's something wrong😞 thank you for trying to get extroverts to understand
It's always best when you're an introvert to remind yourself to relax by yourself and recharge, forcing yourself to be in situations that drain you can lead to strained interactions with people they care about.
Yes I learned something valuable from this video. Being an introvert often I feel on the defensive because people assume there’s something wrong with me. As if I needed their approval? It makes me very paranoid too at times because I am sensitive and feel less than compared to others who are more gregarious. It’s as if They are giving me an ultimatum like Snap out of it! Or nobody’s gonna want to hang around with you ever! My response to that is OK! Because mainly I am so furious at their assumptions! Especially people who are my family and friends who think they’re doing me a favor by telling me the truth and hijacking me into activities that I don’t enjoy that make me very deregulated and resentful! so yeah maybe I just need to lighten up a little bit?
Do what you are comfortable with.There is nothing wrong with keepimg to yourself if thats what makes you calm and at peace.I can relate to what you are saying.I was treated the same way at school. ' dont be so intense.are u sad? Whats wrong with you'. Now,at age 40,I have gone through my share of life events, job loss, miscarriage,divorce,loneliness and now with depression, am expected to jump with joy at every occassion.I refuse to be untrue to what I feel.If 10 people are enjoying taking pouting selfies, I have every right to be happy sippin coffee in front of fireplace.U dont owe any explainations to anyone.If they are friends, they will stay, if they arent, their loss.Dont priortize anyone over your peace and calm, not worth it.Pamper yourself with what you want to do and what you enjoy.
Sometimes small talk can be nice for me, but it depends. I have no friends irl anymore, so when someone talks to me I feel like I am not that lonely. Feel myself a human being and that someone shows interest in me, even if just a little. And some time ago it was like an energy battery for me, talking to people from my class. I always thought that I am an introvert, and I still feel like it, but can't help but feel lonely sometimes. And "like writing more than speaking" used to be so true for me, but now it's more like "like sending voice messages more than speaking and writing", lol. I kinda learn to speak this way and if I start stuttering or something, I can always record a new one.
Most of the time even if we're different people we can still connect and communicate well, but it's always up to you to tell the other person how you like to communicate. If you feel like someone doesn't get you and you want the dynamic between you to be different, tell them! It's difficult sometimes, but it's worth doing.
I am an introverted.When I was a child I had some friends one of them used to making fool of me because I was angry and I let him do it because he was my best friend.This thing affected my personality so I used to hate my self and personality.These days some people say "why are you so introverted go out find some friends", however, I don't care I like myself and my own space.
Definitely related to all of these points. I'm not opposed to going out and being around people per se but I have places I choose to go and even in those environments I won't engage with everyone. And even though I don't like small talk if I can be quiet in those instances and tune in and out of conversations involving small talk and learn about the more emotional side of that sort of person through those means I'm definitely happier. I just don't want it to be me since I don't think I'll ever understand how to take part in that style of conversation. Definitely intellectual subjects or intellectual subjects I care about like discussing a movie or TV show are what make me want to talk, emotions or how your family is doing or job stuff or life, it isn't that I don't care but that doesn't form as a question for me I feel like I'm ranting a bit although like the video discusses writing things out is more comfortable for introverts, probably why I prefer texting to phone calls but it's hard when I don't think people understand my persona and that when I see personality traits that are me in a video to not think about it in a little more depth. Regardless of those other thoughts this was a good video and I think it's one that I wouldn't mind showing to others to just say this sums up who I am. Including stating the following "I struggle putting it into words and feel like I might be insulting you by my traits but it's who I am." It's definitely something I need my mother to understand.
Similar situation here.I find it interesting to talk about a documentary I watched, an international movies, a country I visited.I am told am 'intense' and 'intimidating'. Well , it is what it is 😄
Wow, this video is so interesting and accurate! Points 2 and 3 explain so good what I could never put in words 😮 (In fact, point 3 is what motivated me to make my amateur YT channel in the first place)
As an introvert with ASD, I REALLY hate when my extrovert friend interrupts my solo time. Really loves to ruin my routines & throw wrenches into my time where I try to map out my plan for the day & wake me up during my scheduled nap along with dragging me out of the house because of his spontaneity. I just wish extroverts would just spend more time with their extrovert friends & let us recharge & have a moment to think!

Thank you… all 5 things you have addressed here have been forced on me for the greater part of my 35 year existence and what people don’t realise is the negative impact they may have in doing so (although that is likely not the intention).
Well....I agree my friends pretty much never leave me alone and think I am extroverted but no and currently I am feeling really stressed about some personal things going on in my life.... Anyone reading I wish u a good day
This is so true, I hate talking to people on the phone, and whenever I have a big motivation moment for my story (I call it a writing spree lol) and someone tries to talk to me I end up losing my train of thought
I love this channel so much. It keeps me educated and also doesn’t make me feel like I’m alone. The animations are adorable too and make difficult topics a little easier to talk about. Thank you for helping me with my anxiety and depression!
You videos just bring me so much comfort knowing that I am not feeling a certain way alone and that these emotions are totally normal and help me grow into a person I wanna be so I hope you channel reaches as many people as it can
I repeat your videos often, as RUclips offers them. I learn more each time. My extremely slow turtle style, is sometimes clumsy, but now is improving with some of your help. Many social situations are helped with your statistically valid methods. I am winning more, and being stupid less.
Can't really agree to 1 and 2. Small talk for me often is quite a good way to spend time with people who aren't my friends. Imagine, waiting for a lesson to start or a bus to come - you can talk to someone, maybe even laugh. Talking usually much better then chatting, especially with people you love.
I am an introvert and my grandma is one of the most extroverted people I know. She doesn't always get me. She finds it sad if I don't meet up with friends in the weekend and believes I need to be 'fixed' . She thinks I only avoid social contact because I am shy but she doesn't seem to understand that I looovee being alone. I remember there even was a time were she kept encouraging me to be different and compared me with people who where more outgoing than me. For a while I also thought I needed to be fixed but I no longer think that way. I know she's only trying to make me happy and wants me to live my life to the fullest but we are just completely different people. Lately my grandma has been more understanding of me. When we are together she makes sure to avoid places with a lot of people and that makes me really happy😊
Can't find much words here because everything fits to me perfectly. x3 I especially like the point called "We don't need fixing". At my school years I really had to deal HARD with it because much of my class mates were very extroverted. People who want to have loud company in big groups, or those who like to joke much around just don't understand, that WE love peace, small safe groups with values and everything, which was mentioned in this episode. Another great piece of work dear Psych2go! I really love what you guys do on this chanel! I swear. If I would know all you are showing here when I was at my school times, I would take things a lot easier than I did. Thank you for making me see the past things i na different perspective now without judging it so hard anymore. :)
I am definitely an introvert but I never connected my disdain of phone calls to it before. It makes so much sense! I have adapted to accept and make more phone calls than I would normally but I try to get the basics of what will need to be discussed beforehand so that I can prepare and be of better help during the phone call.
It’s nice to feel understood as an introvert, Paych2Go always knows how to perfectly represent us, plus the soothing narrators are always a joy to listen to as well as the animation, i always love the simple bodies with plants on their heads
Those animations 💚💙💚💙!! I don't know why !! But whenever I watch your videos !! Like i am sayin without even listening or paying attention!!.. that sound and those animations feel comforting and calming!!!! Whatever my mood is !! It just turns towards positive side!!
Omg! This video describes me to a T! I do all of these things. I try to be more social but it is draining and getting to know a person at a party is really difficult. I do enjoy 1 on 1 conversations with no interruptions. When someone else intrudes on the conversation, unless they have something to add, I disengage
This video is so correct... but for me the small talk point is a bit different. I don`t *dislike* small talk, as long as it`s a fun conversation IDC, but I do prefer talking on a deeper level cuz that lets you understand more about each other. (But I gotta agree that small talk *does* feel a bit tiring to me after it`s over) But of course, small talk is the start to socializing so you can`t avoid it, you have to at least start with it until you find a topic you two wanna talk about that is not small talk. Also, about the ``We don`t need fixing`` point, yea, that`s definitely 1 thing many introverts need to make clear to people around them. I`ve had teachers and class``mates`` in school that thought I needed be as social as others, while I do think now that I should`ve been a bit more social and should`ve tried to find some more friends, being as outgoing as other kids is NOT a need. This whole video was so relatable & something people should definitely know about introverts. P.S. The art was so cute, as always, but I feel like it definitely improved in the cuteness category.
The last point hit me. Like, some of my mates who I’m not ‘close close’ with, tend to want to offer me tips on how to be more social, and how to talk during convos. Like, dude, I appreciate your concern, but I’M FINE. Like, legit, i don’t need to be fixed or whatever.
i really liked this because this puts things about myself into words and i really enjoy that feeling of hearing something that i know about myself in the back of my head
YES, I relate to all 5! Also, people think I don't like them/others, but it is more that I need one-on-one time to break out of my shell. I need time to get comfortable; to build trust. Allow me this and I will become a great friend, and most likely having you laughing.
I'm introverted and I have social anxiety. But I can occasionally still speak in front of groups. But the only groups that I can really speak to are groups of people that I know. Fkr example I can read and sometimes pray in front of my church group (as long as someone has warned me that i will be doing that. Without warning its very stressful), but in front of strangers I almost will not speak and I certainly will not act like myself (which I mean is like my friends say that I am a very calm and kind person with actual wisdom but those who only just met me see someone who is shy and to some degree abrasive).
Once again you’ve been able to eloquently and very very gently put into words my biggest fustraitions with the world as a whole. Even I never hear from you, ever, I will love your mind for all of time.
So spot on, it’s uncanny. Thanks for the video. It’s perfect for sharing with my extrovert friends to invite them to have a small understanding of how introverts prefer to live life.
I am a mixture of both. Though recently, I have been really experiencing introvert side more often. And a lot of what was mentioned in this video is really something that I feel is true with me. Really great content.
One of your best videos ever! As an autistic individual, all of these traits make me feel very validated! Thank you for delivering such a beautiful animation 😄!
I love this account so much!! it helps me understand certain things and communicate better🤍 I will forever love this channel and love ur vids!! I will continue to support and congratulate you guys🤍🤍 Love you guys and your amazing artwork ❤️
Related to every single one. I even write out my prayers! I used to think I was extroverted until one day my pastor suggested I take the 16Personalities test and discovered I’m 96% introverted. Blew me away. I mentioned it one time in my exercise class and one woman said If you were that introverted you wouldn’t even be able to step outside your door. After a comment like that I almost wished I hadn’t. But it explained so many things about me. I’m a retired nurse and at the end of a 12 hour shift I would walk to my car, get in and have to sit for a few minutes before I could even put the key in the ignition. I used to think I was just tired. I was but my mental state was so drained from being “out there” all day I was absolutely drained. Add in ADHD with Inattentive Presentation (just discovered) pretty much explained my whole life. All of this recently discovered stuff at 70 years old! Thanks for the video!!
In middle school, I knew I was an introvert, but I was always pushed to be more social and make lots of new friends. And yet no one could figure out why school was so exhausting for me...
im an extroverted introvert. i like being alone, but also hate not being able to talk to my friends i like texting, especially to express my feelings, but i'd rather call so i can get what i want to say faster i dont really like getting helped, but i like helping small talk is basically awkwardness i dont have that many friends that r actually friends and not school friends
As an introvert i entirely agree. Thats just me. I also thank you so much for your efforts put into these vidios. I struggle with mental health and these vidoos have helped me stay ontop of things and figure things out. Im forever greatful for this chanel 💗❤💖
These kind of videos help not only those trying to figure out introverts, but also introverts trying to know themself better and seeking validation for their quirks, like me! Thank you so much for this type of content, P2G! TwT
As an introvert I really understand the “we don’t need fixing part”. All the people I’ve been friends with claim their introverts but when I tell them I didn’t go to homecoming freshmen year they tell me “you can’t stay in your house all day and read books” or they say “your a boring person”. I don’t like social events and I never have liked them. I’m always so over stimulated, my hands are always clammy and sweaty, and I’m never just myself because I don’t like being around crowds and I think that’s what people need to understand about introverts :-)
I like how they showed it from another's point of view. I identify as an introvert with some extrovert traits, so I appreciate how they show how these different personalities can get along when they listen and understand each other.
Paired with being an introvert and having social anxiety disorder, I HATE small talk. Nothing annoys me more than when people try to engage with me saying things like "Any plans for the weekend?" or "Lovely weather today, isn't it?" It feels so pointless, cringy and draining.
There is always such a fine line between all personality traits! Everyone is a combination of many things with different levels and degrees, and people are always devolving and evolving! It is all such an irony and a paradox!
The writing than talking makes very sense fot me, although i'm not a writer, i like to write "long" sentences on internet, but i'm usually more quiet irl. Another good vídeo :)
I have been an introvert all my life .When I was younger I thought something was wrong with me and felt very insecure and closed up.I struggled with my shyness and found it really hard to trust people or make friends.I got picked on too for not being a talker or just being so different .Now that I'm much older I have accepted my introverted ways and know this is me ,no matter if people like it or not.I don't have to "Fit in" to what people think is the Norm.Its ok to be quiet and in peaceful solitude.🌻🍃To all the introverts out there ...It's ok to be you and don't change so others can accept you.Love yourself ❤️🍃🌻
The best thing about this was it was so liberating. I am an introvert and i akways push myself to be 'normal' and it is exhausting and demoralizing. But now, thanks to you, i will not do that anymore . Thank you♥️⚘🧙♀️
This all resonates with me. My partner is an extrovert, and I've been with him about 5-1/2 years now; he's finally got a project that requires him to be out of town a lot, and I'm finding myself unable to take advantage of my alone time simply because I have a cold (no 'Rona--I did get tested, but it always felt like a garden- variety cold). So disappointing, though healing is important too.
I am an introverted person myself and I even tend to watch these videos even though they are meant for extroverts to watch and know what's going on inside our minds. I relate to every each of these signs!
Although I believe I need to be fixed in certain ways, alot of this hits home good info keep up the videos I really like how calm your voice is and the animations

WE DON'T NEED FIXING!!! Finally!!! People should understand that!! I think the most difficult thing of being an introvert is trying to convince people that there's nothing wrong to let us be!!! Thanks for letting people know!
Maybe this is worth a T-Shirt "We don't need fixing!" o^.^o
It's so exhausting when someone is trying to fix you -_-
I believe this idea of introverts needing to be "fixed" is due to the way media portrayes the World and the World feeling more extrovert friendly.
That has in a way lead to people think of extroversion as "normal" and some people have gotten this urge to get rid of the things deemed as weird, sometimes without even considering that not being "normal" is good.
Exactly because try fixing an extrovert, it wouldn’t be socially acceptable. With us, somehow it is
@@SleepingGroke This was obvious in the C-19 lockdowns where the media went berserk about the problems of extroverts; oh, the stress,oh the struggles of being forced to stay at home and not relate to people. The fact this is daily inflicted on introverts in normal life was never really noticed, and lo, we went back to normal and suddenly introverts are expected to act like extroverts again.
@@XYpsilonLPLol there is actually a quote saying "People always tell introverts to be more talkative and leave their comfort zones, yet no one tells extroverts to shut up
to make the zone comfortable."
I had a close friend. She was in the middle. She tried to get me to be more outgoing. I couldn't do it. I failed. She left me in time and I respect that as she wanted to explore the world and needed a friend that wasn't all people shy and aloof. And I wasn't that friend. It's hard being an introvert when you want some contact but can't find anyone cause youre surrounded by extroverts and middle but no introverts in sight.
Sounds like you have the same issues as some of the other people who commented here too.
Hey! Like attracts like. So just be you and you'll be attracted to the same type of people like yourself!
But SOME EXTROVERTS MIGHT HAVE A HIDDEN INTROVERT ATTRACTION ✨💫🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It’s not that I can’t talk with people. I tend to be kind in some ways (even if I don’t wanna do something, I try to see its good side for enjoyment. But not always it works) to people, and try to talk to them. But as an introvert as I am, going out seems rather tough.
Hi! I’m sorry. I don’t know how this’ll sound but I’m an ambivert or an omnivert (not sure which). If you feel like I don’t quite understand, I’m not offended, I just wanna say, sorry you guys feel like this. I really am. Either way, I’m sure you’ll find the right friend soon!
As an introvert I can confirm this is true especially the bursting with ideas when alone ❤
Glad to know I can relate
😁
Hello Khalilah D.
Iv have a Question for you Is it okay to ask if your an introvert, so i dont step on your boudaries?
I wonder because am an ambivert, i never knew how an introvert would think like this ?
Facts
True ☺ its like our own world where ideas are like popping one by one but my brothers are extroverts so they thought im weird and they say they cant understand me coz i often alone in my room, i went out with my friends when needed but mostly i like to be in mybown space even my bf knows it so im happy he understands me well since its also good for him coz he also want to have his own time though hes not introvert ☺
Same
The thing that annoys me the most is the last one mentioned. I am fine staying at home most weekends and hanging out with 1/2 friends, but apparently no one else in my environment is, always trying to force me to hang out more, to be more social, to meet more new people (which I'm okay with, but as mentioned I dislike the small talk so...) It's tiring
Very nice video ♥️
Sounds like you have a really extroverted circle.. how do you usually meet everyone? or that they really like hanging out with you.
@@Psych2go Some of my friends are indeed extroverted, but usually they understand that I'm not haha
Mainly talking about my family. For example, for them not going out from home every single day of the week is weird, unlike for me, that going out from home every day sound horrible, and they keep making me feel weird for that every single day. Also for them hanging out only to walk with a friend or have a coffee and not partying with 20 people it's also a weird thing... Things like that
Thanks for everything you do with your videos!

As an introvert, I approve this message
I second this comment!
Introverts unite. ✊🏽 Separately and quietly. 😆 As a Gen Z INFJ enneagram type 4w5, I say aye to this message.
@@youtubecommentergal4346 oddly specific
@@thenachothief , lol yeah felt like being those specific people. 😆
Wish I had access to these kind of videos growing up in the 90s so I could show my extremely extroverted dad that I didn't go hide in my room after a while of having large gatherings to be rude but I needed time to recharge.
He would force me out and to interact with his friends while I had no energy to. Eventually he'd get upset that I was being so quiet that he he would tell me to go back to my room, "Seeing as you're being so rude and not participating."
Sorry to hear that you had to go through this experience. The internet really has changed things and more awareness about different personality types are created.
How the heck was this comment a Month ago? lol
Your dad was the one being "rude" but he certainly did not realize it. The irony. If we are not accepting of different personality types it definitely can perceived as rude.
I always had the need to just get away and be alone after a social event. I beat myself up about it for years. But I'm just an introvert and I'm OK with that now.
Same 🥺
As an extrovert whose partner is an introvert, and never having had any introverted friends up until now, these things took a while to figure out for me! A lot of behaviours and social needs are just so fundamentally different and it's hard to get your head around that at first when you have nothing but your own experience to go on. But it can be really enjoyable and beneficial for both people involved as long as there's mutual understanding :)
I'm glad you're improving your understanding of introverts!! Bare in mind that shyness isn't an introvert quality, it's a human quality associated with introverts. Being introverted means that you need time to recharge after a social gathering, not that you're scared to be a part of one. Just thought I'd share that information have a nice day :)
@@mimisolo7778 Oh for sure, he's great with other people, just needs a loooot of rest afterwards to the point of spending all day in bed, whereas I can just get up at 7 in the morning and carry on as usual. Really interesting how human brains are wired so differently!
@@mimisolo7778 Oh, and I guess it's also important to mention that to extroverts, some of these behaviours can even seem alarming at first, especially when (like me) they've been around people with depression or anxiety disorders or have experienced them personally. Makes it hard not to worry at first, especially when an introvert doesn't easily share what's going on in their head, so "alone time" can be interpreted as "not reaching out". As always, communication is key :)
Glad you're trying to understand us pal, very much appreciated
I am in the verge of losing my partner because I’m an introvert & he just doesn’t understand my needs. I love who they are & I just want to be loved for who I am 😢
As an introvert, I completely agree with writing rather than talking. I always form my communication better as I write. When I try to talk, I usually panic and stutter a bit even though I have a sentenced form in my mind 🤣
It just takes awhile to get to know introverts. Another thing is we're patient with others as well when we peak an interest in them.
Same here, hell i usually deviate from the sentance i had in mind when i talk, to the point at which my actual point becomes a dull edge
While I can speak reasonably well, unless something is urgent if you wish to communicate then I much prefer an email or text. I find people call with a phone at the most inconvenient and inopportune times.
I’ve been told in interviews that I come across in person as totally different from what I wrote on my application or intake form.
Oh this is the bane of my existence. My mind moves quick but my mouth doesn’t. I often speak very fast, slur my words together, and sometimes skip over them. Skipping words is the worst. I’ll try and say it again to make sure I’m being understood but that requires me to backtrack through my train of thought and pick right back up where I left off, leading to mumbling or being at a loss for words.
I have no trouble whatsoever with lying though. It’s probably just an artifact of my strict upbringing but I can always come up with a coherent and plausible story to explain what I was caught doing in under a second while speaking clearly.
@@qwincyq6412 same here
My husband and I are both introverts, so when we have disagreements or mental health bad days, we text our feelings to each other so we can get them out in the way we want to. Mind you, if it's still tense, we take a break before talking again. :)
Here you go!
1. We dislike small talk
2. We like writing more than speaking
3. We value time alone to get things done
4. We're selective about our friends
5. We dont need fixing
What's weird is I hate reading and anything with English at school yet I'm always gonna be better at writing than speaking.
@@TNTz1ooChannel facts
As an introvert, I read a lot about introverts to better understand myself. However, this was the first time I learned that introverts prefer writing to speaking. That would absolutely be me. Writing allows me to organize and develop my flood of thoughts on a particular subject; speaking does not. In fact, I enjoyed writing so much that I studied to become a journalist in my younger years. (Sadly, that did not happen.)
Time traveler here, nice video.
Yes
Why hello! How are you?
how
💀
But how though? The video just came out! Like how can you make a comment if the link didn’t exist yet? 0.0
As an introvert, this is so relatable.
I've always been fascinated by how introverts manage to enjoy their time alone
Cause I definitely can't( I would love tips about that if you've got any)
Also fun fact: as an ENFP, I really enjoy befriending introverted people. I find it cute when they try to open up slightly to show me they like me and they consider us close friends. I just love the adventure of getting to know them slowly...
Y'all are appreciated❤️
Edit: guys I don't know how to thank you~ y'all are so kind and helpful
Thanks to everyone who replied 💜
I’m an INFP! We find it equally fascinating to see extroverts socialize for hours and not need a break. Usually I will read or watch RUclips for my recharge time. When my house is empty I’ll put on loud music and dance however I want to. I tend to avoid people because I have a lot of socially based anxiety so even just being around people in silence is heavily draining.
As for tips- it’s all about how you think of it. Me, I can do anything at all for my alone time because I am content with my own company/skills. I may not have any confidence but alone time is just about being in the moment and being able to do whatever you want without the pressures of people watching or judging you. Everyone judges; it may not be a bad judgement but they still judge and that’s tiring. So having those moments where it’s just you and only you have a say in what you do and when you do it is very calming.
I appreciate your view of befriending introverts. I can say we really appreciate having an extrovert friend when we have the energy to go out(so you can deal with all the people) and also appreciate when they recognize when it’s too much and aren’t offended by us needing breaks.
That's sweet ❤ thanks
@Pauline Elric
I LOVE INFP people!
Thank you for the tips btw
it's really interesting to know your POV, because I simply do whatever I want in crowds and don't care about judgements :D that's why I don't get tired of socializing
It's mostly staying unbothered when people don't like it when you are being you, I just avoid them
And it's also helpful because at least in my community, introverts are easily misunderstood and others think they are weird or selfish... But because I had really high depression and anxiety levels, I understand them, so I tend to attract a lot of introverts, which makes me kinda scared sometimes because I'm afraid I'll make them uncomfortable.
So I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts
As an introvert, I never think of it as alone time. The only real difference between introverts and extroverts is where they get their energy from, so even though I actually really enjoy talking to people(particularly close friends) I always need time to rest afterwards. Also it's important that you're spending time alone because you want to and you're doing something that genuinely interests you, otherwise you get bored/lonely. Also my question is this: if extroverts gain their energy from social interaction, do they need to recharge after time alone, or do they find it soothing? I'd love to be able to know that because I've never quite understood how people like that function:P
I agree! There are some traits of an extroverts that I'm fascinated by! I don’t fully understand them as they dont fully understand us introverts but I do love to learn more!
The last one is so true. I'm and introvert and my boyfriend is an extrovert. At the beginning he kept on trying to make me more social, but after explaining to him a hundred times that I don't like that, he finally understood and stopped trying to "make me more social".
However, I have a friend, who even after explaining it to a MILLION times, he still doesn't get it. "How can you be burnt out after going out? Why do you need so much rest? Don't be lazy" 😑😑😑😑
I had that same issue. It's hard to be an introvert around extroverts. My boyfriend would be upset at me because I would not socialize with his friends, embarrassing him in the sense. I told him I'm exhausted from the day around people, from work to family. He had to give his friends some excuse that I was tired and it was past my bedtime. Again, that is not it. I get overwhelmed within a large gathering for a long period of time and i cant make a connection with people i can't see my self share a common interest in. It's who I'm. I need peace and quiet everyday before I can deal with the world. He never understood why i perfer the quietness versus his need to be in noise all the time, everyday. But eventually he understood and no longer forces me to interact with his friends anymore. He does it and I'm just listen. I didn't choose to be an introvert, none of us did, but it's our life, our function.
@@YunaxRikku23 I'm glad he finally understood. I totally get your struggle ❤
@@patriciapat2106 Thank you, Pat. I am glad that everything worked out with you except for that friend that keeps asking you that question. I feel you shouldn't have to explain it that many times.
Ugh toxic friend alert
@@YunaxRikku23 Oh well, some people are difficult hahah. It's not doing a big problem for me (?) (Idk how to say it properly)
Thank you SO MUCH for that last point! ❤ Throughout my life there have been several people who have tried to “fix” me; growing up I frequently felt pressure to be extroverted. I wish I could 👍 this video a hundred times myself. Here in the US, our culture is very extroverted, and there are a lot of people who still don’t understand how we’re different, even though we’re just as common as extroverts (and ambiverts).
*ONE OF THE BEST QUOTES*
“Your mind is a powerful thing. When you fill it with positive thoughts, your life will start to change” - Gautama Buddha
Thanks for this. My boyfriend is an introvert and I’m quite the opposite, so it’s hard to understand what he wants sometimes. This gave me some great perspective.
Small Talk is something I only use to fill up space. I'm very selective about my friends. So when someone brings me into a group I don't enjoy it. If someone breaks my trust I get very guarded on my friendships for a long time. Which ends up making me feel lonely even when with my closest friends.
It creates problems when someone is trying to find my interests based of my small talk, because half of what I'm talking about could just be filling up space. Which I can find myself being an annoyance to friends.
I'm a #introvert
I always wonder why I could never manage to socialize very good and now I know why.
I love being an introvert but the worst thing about it is the lack of understanding the world seems to have of us and the assumption that we need fixing because there's something wrong😞 thank you for trying to get extroverts to understand
It's always best when you're an introvert to remind yourself to relax by yourself and recharge, forcing yourself to be in situations that drain you can lead to strained interactions with people they care about.
Yes I learned something valuable from this video. Being an introvert often I feel on the defensive because people assume there’s something wrong with me. As if I needed their approval? It makes me very paranoid too at times because I am sensitive and feel less than compared to others who are more gregarious. It’s as if They are giving me an ultimatum like Snap out of it! Or nobody’s gonna want to hang around with you ever! My response to that is OK! Because mainly I am so furious at their assumptions! Especially people who are my family and friends who think they’re doing me a favor by telling me the truth and hijacking me into activities that I don’t enjoy that make me very deregulated and resentful! so yeah maybe I just need to lighten up a little bit?
Do what you are comfortable with.There is nothing wrong with keepimg to yourself if thats what makes you calm and at peace.I can relate to what you are saying.I was treated the same way at school. ' dont be so intense.are u sad? Whats wrong with you'. Now,at age 40,I have gone through my share of life events, job loss, miscarriage,divorce,loneliness and now with depression, am expected to jump with joy at every occassion.I refuse to be untrue to what I feel.If 10 people are enjoying taking pouting selfies, I have every right to be happy sippin coffee in front of fireplace.U dont owe any explainations to anyone.If they are friends, they will stay, if they arent, their loss.Dont priortize anyone over your peace and calm, not worth it.Pamper yourself with what you want to do and what you enjoy.
@@sadia2395 Thank you! You are absolutely right! Nobody can intimidate me, unless I let them!
Sometimes small talk can be nice for me, but it depends. I have no friends irl anymore, so when someone talks to me I feel like I am not that lonely. Feel myself a human being and that someone shows interest in me, even if just a little. And some time ago it was like an energy battery for me, talking to people from my class. I always thought that I am an introvert, and I still feel like it, but can't help but feel lonely sometimes.
And "like writing more than speaking" used to be so true for me, but now it's more like "like sending voice messages more than speaking and writing", lol. I kinda learn to speak this way and if I start stuttering or something, I can always record a new one.
Lol like I always say; my mouth doesn't have a backspace button 😅
Most of the time even if we're different people we can still connect and communicate well, but it's always up to you to tell the other person how you like to communicate. If you feel like someone doesn't get you and you want the dynamic between you to be different, tell them! It's difficult sometimes, but it's worth doing.
That's true. You have to tell them straight up sometimes.
@@Psych2go Exactly! We can't expect people to read our minds, it's important to communicate what we need.
I am an introverted.When I was a child I had some friends one of them used to making fool of me because I was angry and I let him do it because he was my best friend.This thing affected my personality so I used to hate my self and personality.These days some people say "why are you so introverted go out find some friends", however, I don't care I like myself and my own space.
You are doing it right.👍🏽 Please continue to be so and stop caring about people who cant accept you for what you are.
Definitely related to all of these points. I'm not opposed to going out and being around people per se but I have places I choose to go and even in those environments I won't engage with everyone. And even though I don't like small talk if I can be quiet in those instances and tune in and out of conversations involving small talk and learn about the more emotional side of that sort of person through those means I'm definitely happier. I just don't want it to be me since I don't think I'll ever understand how to take part in that style of conversation. Definitely intellectual subjects or intellectual subjects I care about like discussing a movie or TV show are what make me want to talk, emotions or how your family is doing or job stuff or life, it isn't that I don't care but that doesn't form as a question for me I feel like I'm ranting a bit although like the video discusses writing things out is more comfortable for introverts, probably why I prefer texting to phone calls but it's hard when I don't think people understand my persona and that when I see personality traits that are me in a video to not think about it in a little more depth. Regardless of those other thoughts this was a good video and I think it's one that I wouldn't mind showing to others to just say this sums up who I am. Including stating the following "I struggle putting it into words and feel like I might be insulting you by my traits but it's who I am." It's definitely something I need my mother to understand.
When i do, or hear small talk i just try to hear oblivon music
Similar situation here.I find it interesting to talk about a documentary I watched, an international movies, a country I visited.I am told am 'intense' and 'intimidating'. Well , it is what it is 😄
Wow, this video is so interesting and accurate! Points 2 and 3 explain so good what I could never put in words 😮 (In fact, point 3 is what motivated me to make my amateur YT channel in the first place)
It took me forever to finally accept that there’s nothing wrong with being an introvert. This video was very relatable 💙
As an introvert with ASD, I REALLY hate when my extrovert friend interrupts my solo time. Really loves to ruin my routines & throw wrenches into my time where I try to map out my plan for the day & wake me up during my scheduled nap along with dragging me out of the house because of his spontaneity. I just wish extroverts would just spend more time with their extrovert friends & let us recharge & have a moment to think!

Once, one of my friends tried to "fix" me.
Let's just say that I ended up not talking to them for 4 weeks.
When someone tries to fix you, it's time to run away as fast as you can.
Thank you… all 5 things you have addressed here have been forced on me for the greater part of my 35 year existence and what people don’t realise is the negative impact they may have in doing so (although that is likely not the intention).
I am an introvert and relate to everything said in this video. Love it!
I have friend who's an introvert,always kept to himself in public but when it was just me and him he was absolutley flowing g energy. Gotta love em
Well....I agree my friends pretty much never leave me alone and think I am extroverted but no and currently I am feeling really stressed about some personal things going on in my life....
Anyone reading I wish u a good day
Do you have a counsellor or someone to talk to about your struggles?
@@Psych2go No not really but I am fine ig
Ohh, this video is just like a gentle hug saying "you are ok" in the cutest way to me. 💜
This is so true, I hate talking to people on the phone, and whenever I have a big motivation moment for my story (I call it a writing spree lol) and someone tries to talk to me I end up losing my train of thought
Me too last the time I talked on phone was over a year ago.
Well actually I remembered a phone call I think from February, but if we don't count that, then.
I love this channel so much. It keeps me educated and also doesn’t make me feel like I’m alone. The animations are adorable too and make difficult topics a little easier to talk about. Thank you for helping me with my anxiety and depression!
My mom literally forces me to socialize and I hate it like mom I will socialize when I'm ready jeez
You videos just bring me so much comfort knowing that I am not feeling a certain way alone and that these emotions are totally normal and help me grow into a person I wanna be so I hope you channel reaches as many people as it can
Time to show all my extroverted friends this :)
Don't forget to record the reactions lol.
I repeat your videos often, as RUclips offers them. I learn more each time. My extremely slow turtle style, is sometimes clumsy, but now is improving with some of your help. Many social situations are helped with your statistically valid methods.
I am winning more, and being stupid less.
Introverts be strong ✌️💪✌️
Can't really agree to 1 and 2.
Small talk for me often is quite a good way to spend time with people who aren't my friends. Imagine, waiting for a lesson to start or a bus to come - you can talk to someone, maybe even laugh.
Talking usually much better then chatting, especially with people you love.

I am an introvert and my grandma is one of the most extroverted people I know. She doesn't always get me. She finds it sad if I don't meet up with friends in the weekend and believes I need to be 'fixed' . She thinks I only avoid social contact because I am shy but she doesn't seem to understand that I looovee being alone. I remember there even was a time were she kept encouraging me to be different and compared me with people who where more outgoing than me. For a while I also thought I needed to be fixed but I no longer think that way. I know she's only trying to make me happy and wants me to live my life to the fullest but we are just completely different people. Lately my grandma has been more understanding of me. When we are together she makes sure to avoid places with a lot of people and that makes me really happy😊
Can't find much words here because everything fits to me perfectly. x3 I especially like the point called "We don't need fixing". At my school years I really had to deal HARD with it because much of my class mates were very extroverted. People who want to have loud company in big groups, or those who like to joke much around just don't understand, that WE love peace, small safe groups with values and everything, which was mentioned in this episode. Another great piece of work dear Psych2go! I really love what you guys do on this chanel! I swear. If I would know all you are showing here when I was at my school times, I would take things a lot easier than I did. Thank you for making me see the past things i na different perspective now without judging it so hard anymore. :)
I am definitely an introvert but I never connected my disdain of phone calls to it before. It makes so much sense! I have adapted to accept and make more phone calls than I would normally but I try to get the basics of what will need to be discussed beforehand so that I can prepare and be of better help during the phone call.
Spot on! We enjoy living this way & are tired of people trying to change us. This is our comfort zone.
It’s nice to feel understood as an introvert, Paych2Go always knows how to perfectly represent us, plus the soothing narrators are always a joy to listen to as well as the animation, i always love the simple bodies with plants on their heads
Those animations 💚💙💚💙!! I don't know why !! But whenever I watch your videos !! Like i am sayin without even listening or paying attention!!.. that sound and those animations feel comforting and calming!!!! Whatever my mood is !! It just turns towards positive side!!
Omg! This video describes me to a T! I do all of these things. I try to be more social but it is draining and getting to know a person at a party is really difficult. I do enjoy 1 on 1 conversations with no interruptions. When someone else intrudes on the conversation, unless they have something to add, I disengage
This video is so correct... but for me the small talk point is a bit different.
I don`t *dislike* small talk, as long as it`s a fun conversation IDC, but I do prefer talking on a deeper level cuz that lets you understand more about each other. (But I gotta agree that small talk *does* feel a bit tiring to me after it`s over)
But of course, small talk is the start to socializing so you can`t avoid it, you have to at least start with it until you find a topic you two wanna talk about that is not small talk.
Also, about the ``We don`t need fixing`` point, yea, that`s definitely 1 thing many introverts need to make clear to people around them.
I`ve had teachers and class``mates`` in school that thought I needed be as social as others, while I do think now that I should`ve been a bit more social and should`ve tried to find some more friends, being as outgoing as other kids is NOT a need.
This whole video was so relatable & something people should definitely know about introverts.
P.S. The art was so cute, as always, but I feel like it definitely improved in the cuteness category.
The last point hit me. Like, some of my mates who I’m not ‘close close’ with, tend to want to offer me tips on how to be more social, and how to talk during convos. Like, dude, I appreciate your concern, but I’M FINE. Like, legit, i don’t need to be fixed or whatever.
i really liked this because this puts things about myself into words and i really enjoy that feeling of hearing something that i know about myself in the back of my head
Yup, it all makes perfectly good sense to me. No further explanations are required.
YES, I relate to all 5! Also, people think I don't like them/others, but it is more that I need one-on-one time to break out of my shell. I need time to get comfortable; to build trust. Allow me this and I will become a great friend, and most likely having you laughing.
I'm introverted and I have social anxiety. But I can occasionally still speak in front of groups. But the only groups that I can really speak to are groups of people that I know. Fkr example I can read and sometimes pray in front of my church group (as long as someone has warned me that i will be doing that. Without warning its very stressful), but in front of strangers I almost will not speak and I certainly will not act like myself (which I mean is like my friends say that I am a very calm and kind person with actual wisdom but those who only just met me see someone who is shy and to some degree abrasive).
I'm introverted, and this was a very accurate video, good job.
I love how she says'WE'
it gives us a sense of comfort it's like we're not alone
The ending screen is super cute~ i love it! Thanks for the helpful psych content ♡
Once again you’ve been able to eloquently and very very gently put into words my biggest fustraitions with the world as a whole. Even I never hear from you, ever, I will love your mind for all of time.
So spot on, it’s uncanny. Thanks for the video. It’s perfect for sharing with my extrovert friends to invite them to have a small understanding of how introverts prefer to live life.
Just here from your community post 😉 hope that my favorite channel grows again!
RUclips algorithm gods, this video needs to be higher up on the recommendation list pls!
I am a mixture of both. Though recently, I have been really experiencing introvert side more often. And a lot of what was mentioned in this video is really something that I feel is true with me. Really great content.
I love your Chanel and I request that you give a summary of every video so that it is easy to remember the points discussed
One of your best videos ever! As an autistic individual, all of these traits make me feel very validated! Thank you for delivering such a beautiful animation 😄!
As an introvert I can agree to all of it! Also I love the content! Keep up the good work!

Related to every single one. I even write out my prayers! I used to think I was extroverted until one day my pastor suggested I take the 16Personalities test and discovered I’m 96% introverted. Blew me away. I mentioned it one time in my exercise class and one woman said If you were that introverted you wouldn’t even be able to step outside your door. After a comment like that I almost wished I hadn’t. But it explained so many things about me. I’m a retired nurse and at the end of a 12 hour shift I would walk to my car, get in and have to sit for a few minutes before I could even put the key in the ignition. I used to think I was just tired. I was but my mental state was so drained from being “out there” all day I was absolutely drained. Add in ADHD with Inattentive Presentation (just discovered) pretty much explained my whole life. All of this recently discovered stuff at 70 years old! Thanks for the video!!
In middle school, I knew I was an introvert, but I was always pushed to be more social and make lots of new friends. And yet no one could figure out why school was so exhausting for me...
im an extroverted introvert.
i like being alone, but also hate not being able to talk to my friends
i like texting, especially to express my feelings, but i'd rather call so i can get what i want to say faster
i dont really like getting helped, but i like helping
small talk is basically awkwardness
i dont have that many friends that r actually friends and not school friends
As an introvert i entirely agree. Thats just me. I also thank you so much for your efforts put into these vidios. I struggle with mental health and these vidoos have helped me stay ontop of things and figure things out.
Im forever greatful for this chanel 💗❤💖
This animation style is so cute! I love the bright colors and big head and small cute face!
This channel is super helpful! RUclips should promote the heck out of you all.
These kind of videos help not only those trying to figure out introverts, but also introverts trying to know themself better and seeking validation for their quirks, like me! Thank you so much for this type of content, P2G! TwT
Beautiful and fascinating animation 🤍🤍🤍 plus the voice is so soothing ✨
As an introvert I really understand the “we don’t need fixing part”. All the people I’ve been friends with claim their introverts but when I tell them I didn’t go to homecoming freshmen year they tell me “you can’t stay in your house all day and read books” or they say “your a boring person”. I don’t like social events and I never have liked them. I’m always so over stimulated, my hands are always clammy and sweaty, and I’m never just myself because I don’t like being around crowds and I think that’s what people need to understand about introverts :-)
I like how they showed it from another's point of view. I identify as an introvert with some extrovert traits, so I appreciate how they show how these different personalities can get along when they listen and understand each other.
I relate to all of them. Thank you for making this video. I plan on sending this to everyone that I know :)
This video is solid truth from stem to stern. As an introvert since childbirth, I can relate.
I love the narration of these videos, and the animations are adorable.
Paired with being an introvert and having social anxiety disorder, I HATE small talk. Nothing annoys me more than when people try to engage with me saying things like "Any plans for the weekend?" or "Lovely weather today, isn't it?" It feels so pointless, cringy and draining.
Love the animation and the first point pegged me, I always try to avoid small talk.
There is always such a fine line between all personality traits! Everyone is a combination of many things with different levels and degrees, and people are always devolving and evolving! It is all such an irony and a paradox!
The writing than talking makes very sense fot me, although i'm not a writer, i like to write "long" sentences on internet, but i'm usually more quiet irl. Another good vídeo :)
I have been an introvert all my life .When I was younger I thought something was wrong with me and felt very insecure and closed up.I struggled with my shyness and found it really hard to trust people or make friends.I got picked on too for not being a talker or just being so different .Now that I'm much older I have accepted my introverted ways and know this is me ,no matter if people like it or not.I don't have to "Fit in" to what people think is the Norm.Its ok to be quiet and in peaceful solitude.🌻🍃To all the introverts out there ...It's ok to be you and don't change so others can accept you.Love yourself ❤️🍃🌻
Exactly! 🧡👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽
mann this channel is waayy under rated
The best thing about this was it was so liberating. I am an introvert and i akways push myself to be 'normal' and it is exhausting and demoralizing. But now, thanks to you, i will not do that anymore . Thank you♥️⚘🧙♀️
I feel introverts could people the most communicative people in the right environment with the right people who makes them comfortable
Love your videos, keep up the good work guys
This all resonates with me. My partner is an extrovert, and I've been with him about 5-1/2 years now; he's finally got a project that requires him to be out of town a lot, and I'm finding myself unable to take advantage of my alone time simply because I have a cold (no 'Rona--I did get tested, but it always felt like a garden- variety cold). So disappointing, though healing is important too.
I am an introverted person myself and I even tend to watch these videos even though they are meant for extroverts to watch and know what's going on inside our minds.
I relate to every each of these signs!
I appreciate you saying "us." That alone helps a lot
Although I believe I need to be fixed in certain ways, alot of this hits home good info keep up the videos I really like how calm your voice is and the animations
More of an introverted person. Love more one on one conversations and getting things done by myself
