I'm actually the combination of the four of them -I feel shy and anxious(fast heart rate and shaking)especially when I'm the center of attraction -Daydreaming or getting lost in thought was one of my habits -I am also not good at interacting on new people but feel comfortable with some people I'm close with -I also don't like change, it makes me feel sick for an unknown reason Well guess I'm a certified introvert🤷
i’m also a mix of all of them! i fit all of the ones you say except i do enjoy communicating, but it’s definitely draining, and i get “shy” as well, it’s definitely scary at times.

Honestly I’d say I’m a mixture of a social and restrained introvert, with my anxiety disorders leading to me possessing traits of an anxious introvert. I’ve always said I’m an extroverted introvert. I’m private and quieter around most, but around those I’m close with and trust, I’m loud as can be.
These 4 types became the stages of my life. When I was very young I was a restrained introvert. But as I got into elementary and high school I made friends and became the shy introvert. I like to spend time with them but oftentimes I want to get back to my own private world aka my room. By the time I was in college I became the thinking introvert. I became more observant of my environment and developed a deeper understanding of how things work. Now that I'm working and have met different personalities I've become the social introvert. I get along with coworkers at parties or other gatherings but after a long day it would require me to recharge. So yeah.
I’ve been more of a combination of a thinking introvert and a social introvert. It drives me nuts when people tell me that I am an ambivert or an extrovert. Like I honestly need and even crave my alone time and I can stimulate myself better when I am alone. Especially because I grew up with struggles with my social skills, it’s been very frustrating for me to make friends, so I’ve become very content with being by myself and sometimes I end up being restrained. I have spastic hemiplegia cerebral palsy, ADHD, anxiety, and persistent depressive disorder, which causes me to struggle with making strong friendships and be able to understand social behaviors sometimes. I always say that I am “selectively social” and I choose my friends wisely.
I’m kinda a mix of both social and an anxious introvert…? If I’m out for too long I always just end up staring at the ground or I just look around me while waiting for an event to be over
sigh, it's really hard right? I stopped being friends with some girls because I was emotionally drained at that time, and not to mention felt extremely uncomfortable while meeting new people. Though that was a few years ago... And if I'm not wrong, are you feeling a bit anxious with... well, um all this people liking your comment? If so, then don't mind us we just feel relatable.
I'm a restrained and definitely thinking introvert. I could sit in a dark room by myself for hours just analyzing how my life experiences have shaped me into the person I am and constantly thinking. My partner willl often say I think too much. I go to bed but end up thinking for hours until I finally pass out. Therapists used to tell me I have a lot of personal insight/introspection. Also, I can be spontaneous with myself but mostly I have to have a plan to do anything because I have to physically and (most importantly) mentally prepare myself for interacting with the world. Being an introvert can be exhausting but I will say finding other introverts is the best thing because we understand when we cancel plans last minute or don't respond to a message for days at a time. iykyk

Though I also share some aspects of the social introvert since I have a routine of meeting up with those who are considered my closest friends and more comfortably interact / share / and make conversation with them, mind you a little aggressively at times I assume because it's 1 time a week I meet with them, and if I had to phase the feeling as an analogy I'd say it like a being in a desert and that 1 social day opportunity is the first glass of water I've seen in weeks. Though If our scheduled hang outs are canceled I do feel disappointed but just fall back into my home habits and hope for the best the next week.
I used to be nervous and afraid when talking to other people, as stated by Psych2Go about anxiety disorders in this video. But now, I'm starting to realize I don't need to be that nervous.

Why am I always misunderstood when I try to speak? Like I know what I'm trying to say, but any time I talk to others it's impossible to convey any idea without confusing them.
I used to get so excited about what I was talking about that I’d start a sentence and then before I’d finish, my thoughts would shift to the next idea and I’d start a new sentence, and pretty soon what I was saying was a bunch of half sentences, half ideas and no one knew what I was saying. Not sure if this is your problem, but I solved it by making sure I completed every sentence/point I intended to make, and then pausing before I moved on to my next sentence or point.
I might be a thinking introvert, I just like to make my own world in my head and think of my own perspectives on the real world sometimes. I rarely share them with others unless I fully get to know them for who they are.
I've always thought I was a ambivert. Because of how much I was okay with socializing, but would get overwhelmed easily. Now seeing this it makes more sense that I act more like a social introvert
I realized that I am a social introvert as well as a thinking introvert. It bothers me so much when people tell me that I am an extrovert and not an introvert.
i always thought i was a "fake introvert" because i wasnt anxious in social situations, at least to the extent of others. Glad to know I was just a social introvert the entire time 😁
Personally, as a social introvert, I think an easy way to understand this type of introversion is to see a social introvert as someone who has a profound love for humanity, or just people in general. I love people, get lonely very easily, and can even be unhealthily co-dependent due to my many emotional needs. But regardless, as an introvert, i still get drained very quickly from too much social interaction. And yes, i'm still considered shyer than most 😅 But I would never shun a fellow human in the name of being "anti-social", I desperately want the people around me to know that I love them despite not having the highest level of energy for them. Edit: I also exhibit "anxious" and "restrained" introvert behaviour, so there's more proof that i'm not an imposter i.e, extrovert in disguise 😂 Yup, i am a hardcore overthinker and over-analyzer, who is resistant to change and is more than happy to stay at home all day as long as i'm motivated, inspired, and with the people i love. Honestly tho, it's really hard for me to self-motivate after years of quarantine, and it's taken a huge toll on my mental health. Oh well, sucks to be me i guess 🤷♀️ Any fellow introverts out there who can relate to this specific type of introversion?
I’m literally all four of these. XDD But I think I’m closest to social and restrained introvert right now. I was more of a thinking and anxious introvert in school/work settings. I think that, all in all, it really depends on the day or situation for me. I guess I’m a “true introvert”. XD
I'm a thinking introvert,because I always daydreaming,like all time and also all the other things this video explain about the thinking introvert,All of it is perfectly fit with me
Thinking and restrained come closest to me, really. Although the restrained(and anxious) one can be from bad experiences, and at some point brain damage(when i was 11) making me unable to deal with stress too long. So from nature (like i was as a kid) i'd be a thinking one... nerd :P Questioning everything was annoying to the grownups, and barely had friends, and was bullied by a guy who wasn't raised well by his aggressive father... and his mother didn't seem to care enough, i think. I'm not like your regular nerdy guys, i'm a mix of nerd and tough guy, as both parents gave me some of their better sides, too. And my father said i was a lot like his father, who was way more reserved, honest(not always possible, though), logical(mostly this for me), and very genuine. But hearing from my father about this man, makes me realize that man would've been liked way more than i am nowadays. I had to become stronger to not fall into abyss mentally, as people were not honest with me, and when i became more mature, i realized not taht many are honest and open, while a nerdy guy like myself needs that, to learn about people, so i'd know who to avoid and how to be with better people than those i'd avoid. Sorry, got carried away... happens often XD This happens a lot, which is why i'm "daydreaming" according to others. As kid i couldn't lie, and still bad at it, unless it's necessary, but still doesn't feel good. Thinking about a lot related to the topic i'm typing about, thinking about how i wanna live in the future... and i can't control it much, it just happens as i breathe... very annoying when i come up with something at night. And before i have another lifestory XD i'll stop typing now, haha! Thanks for the video, once again.
I knew at some point the animations will improve to a smooth continuous motion and here it is. I'm also suspecting future videos are totally gonna be like this as it'll look very professional. Improvement is one of the things everyone has to do at some point and I see it kind of similar to adapting when in different scenarios. See you Psych2Goers on the flip side. 😁
I find myself being a mix between an anxious and a restrained introvert. I plan every social event weeks or even months ahead- if something comes up to fast I despise it and usually will come up with an excuse not to go- and throughout the event I focus less on enjoying my time and more meticulously planning everything so that is goes perfectly right. If even the slightest thing goes wrong, I associate the problem with the event and will likely avoid it and regret attempting it for years to come.
I feel that I have changed what type I am throughout my life. As a child I was very much a thinking introvert, I didn’t mind socializing but I preferred my own little world. As I grew into a teenager I turned into an anxious introvert. I always over analyzed everything I did and replayed social interactions in my head till it made me sick. In a way I was still a bit of a thinking introvert, because my automatic self defense was to escape back into my own little world again. As a young Adult I slowed edged out of the anxious stage and turned into a restrained Introvert. If I had knowledge in advance of social events I would love going, but sudden invites and sudden change terrified me. Now as I creep closer to the beginning of being a full fledged adult (30), I am much more outgoing in social groups (more so when I am among my friends or people with the same interests) and most people are surprised to find out I’m and introvert.
I am social introvert. I have no idea why but it's mixed with the restrained introvert but that is just how is it 😅 I have social anxiety too and a lot of people mistake me for being the shy introvert and don't believe that I have social anxiety. Sometimes they even say social anxiety isn't even real but I gotta be strong 😊 Sending a lot of love to everyone reading this comment 💕
It's always nice to understand myself just a little bit kore without having to sacrifice hours of research in some direction. Definitely fit into the Social Introvert. 😎
Hey this was a very interesting video. I related to all four types so I guess I'm a overachieving introvert!! Thanks for the very educational post! (-:
I'm somewhere between a social introvert and a thinking introvert. I'm comfortable in social situations even though I don't prefer them, but you can often find me daydreaming
I'm a thinking Introvert and can be a social introvert when the situation requires it. All these introverts types had manifested on me at some point in my life, they overlaps a lot.
Seem to be heavily 2 and 4 with a little of 3 and not a lot of 4. Like my routine and having things planned in advance, not spur of the moment. Ruminate on every social encounter I have and what I did wrong or could have done better. In a social setting will just sit quietly and be to myself for the most part unless someone calls on me.
I'm a social introvert all the way. I've always said, "The smaller your group of friends, the less crap you have to deal with." I do need those few friends though, because otherwise I'll feel trapped.
If I had to catagorize it I'd say reserved. I dislike change, I like following a set schedule and hate looking for filler for the day especially at work. At work it gets me in trouble sometimes. When things are slow and it's time to find something to do it's like oh hey groups of people at each task. Oh yes broom yes let's do that
The social introvert goes for me✌️ I am literally happier the moment me and my friends get off the bus and back towards home, like, I'd be excited to go out, then after two or three hours I get tired and want to go home, and the moment we're off the bus I'm excited again cuz we reached home 🤣🤣🤣✨
I am definitely a retrained introvert, but I definitely have qualities of the other 3. Thank you for this video, your videos help me understand myself so much. I am now understanding, a little late in my life, that it's ok to be an introvert.😊🥰
i mean, i relate to all of these to some degree. on the one hand, i am rarely ready to do anything when i wake up, rather spending an hour on the pad before breakfast, on the other, when i talk with my single close friend, we barely pause to breathe. if someone asks me if i can do something on the day, i will. for practicality's sake (because i share a car) its better if you ask me ahead of time so i know whether i have the car available, but if i can go now, i will. (though that may be a consequence of living in a smaller town where nothing happens and nobody my age lives.)
I'm definitely #1, but I'm so greatful for this video. I get so sick of being called an extrovert just because I'm able to function at a planned outting (Usually with my pet snakes since they keep me calm). I'm sharing the crap out of this to those who were quick to label me lol! It's great learning as well since many people just assume 2 different sides with no diversity.
I am a mix of social introvert and thinking introvert because with my friends and family I can talk a lot but usually not and I daydream a bit too much since sometimes when people ask me questions I don’t know how to answer or I just don’t listen because of it since I just build a wall around myself ,basically Hope you have a great day :)))
I related most to the Restrained Introvert. Though years of working at Chuck E Cheese has honed my ability to act like an extrovert, in non-business situations I am loth to talk to strangers. It's hard to tell where the acting ends and my actual social personality begins. I always feel someone cut off from even my closest friends. I feel like I don't really know them like best friends should, and that I've somehow prevented us from being more intimate, like I actually lack the ability. It's confusing because I feel almost like I have two personalities.
i think im a social introvert my mental health can get really bad if i don’t go outside and hangout with my friends. i dont get low on “social battery”, i think i get just tired but dont mind the company of my friend in the room at the end of the day. i love hanging out with my friends. im only quiet if i am near a group of people i dont know: like a party, a gathering, dinner, and a classroom. but if im with one or two of my friends in those places, then i am very energetic and friendly
I'm literally the social introvert, i act extroverted but i can't stay like that for too long imma burn out😭 and i feel so drained and tired after lmao
I’m just a really anxious person I guess. Closets to the third one, I get really anxious when it comes to social situations and always overthink my relationships and interactions because I feel uncomfortable in a lot of social interactions I have.
I am a think introvert. Always caught up in my own world of fantasy and challenging morals in my head. I can be social when I need to but rly I only got like 2 close friends
Dude, I always called myself a “confident introvert” guess it’s actually “social introversion” I’m constantly mistaken as an extrovert by people that don’t know me personally, but those that do know I need time to recharge. And yes, I do keep my inner thoughts and feelings under lock and key, and have only one person I’ve managed to open up too.
I honestly relate to all of these. I daydream so much. I could look at a ceiling fan and imagine myself being a tiny ant riding it lol. I replay the scenarios and get shy around multiple people because I don’t know what to expect. Also I hate talking to people who don’t talk back. I hate small talk as well and for some reason, I hate when people compliment me. It’s definitely strange I say thank you, but deep down I don’t really like it. I guess I feel unworthy of compliments. Strange huh? But when I’m around people I’m comfortable with, I love talking and am very social. I just want to be an introvert that keeps to himself, but is social when he needs to be. Kinda like Keanu Reaves or Michael Jackson. They’re introverted, but when it’s time to get social and do what they love, they become the warriors we love and admire. That’s what I want to be. I don’t want to feel forced to talk tho, but that’s a different story.
I didn't know there were types of introverts. Looks like I fall under the restrained introvert though which makes sense as I pre plan all my outside endeavours & don't really like socialising unless necessary.
I'm more of an anxious and thinking introvert, but I don't really know cause I have social anxiety which make any social interaction quite hard and friendship difficult
Honestly, I'm kind of a mixture of thinking introvert and anxious introvert... I do like spending time alone with my thoughts, but I also get nervous when some stranger or a group of strangers tries to talk with me😅
Yo, I think I'm an restrained introvert bc I always like relaxing in my house as my weekend plans and I would sometimes have a hard time getting out of my bed to go to do my morning plans on the weekdays, but I'll tried to make the most of my introverted self.
I think I am a social introvert, because as much as I really love communicating and spending time with people (sometimes even being the center of attention), I definitely get my energy from alone time. The problem is, I have social anxiety disorder so it's really difficult for me to branch out, and I tend to frequently question myself and my social behaviors.
I’m mostly a social introvert for the part of being very open with my close friends, but I don’t like being around people I don’t know, and will get anxiety when I’m being put in a situation with people I don’t know, in including family members I see in very now and again but don’t really know.
I'm an guess I'm a social introvert. But not completely. I'm in no way outgoing but will welcome a social event if asked. I do get exhausted when not in my comfort zone like my house. But I find the main reason I don't socialize is because I think very different than others and it agitates me when people do something in front of me that is incomprehensible. Unfortunately this also makes it hard for me to make friends because it's very common for me to accidentally say something that might upset the one I'm talking to. I'm a very logical thinker and so it's very difficult for me to understand emotions and what causes different reactions. In the end I find myself to just remain distant from people as to avoid more problems.
I'm a social introvert. I love being by myself but I feel pressured to go out regularly so I don't feel like I "miss out" on life, so I push myself to be active over and over again. I feel drained quickly but when I'm out I turn up the volume and I become an initiator for activities and conversation. I also daydream a lot, especially when I need a moment for myself in an exhausting or boring social setting. Other than that I'm full of energy when outside and completely drained when at home. It's an exhausting way to live but I feel fulfilled.
Social-before Covid, I had parties at my home so I can control when people leave. 😁. Then I would’ve had fun but I wouldn’t have to worry about new people or people trying to make me stay out longer.
Which type of introverts, do you relate to? Anxious, Restrained, Thinking or Social?
anxious i think
Anxious definitely.
Anxious and Thinking
Yes, all of the above, mostly restrained though

Why am I always misunderstood when I try to speak? Like I know what I'm trying to say, but any time I talk to others it's impossible to convey any idea without confusing them.
I used to get so excited about what I was talking about that I’d start a sentence and then before I’d finish, my thoughts would shift to the next idea and I’d start a new sentence, and pretty soon what I was saying was a bunch of half sentences, half ideas and no one knew what I was saying. Not sure if this is your problem, but I solved it by making sure I completed every sentence/point I intended to make, and then pausing before I moved on to my next sentence or point.
I might be a thinking introvert, I just like to make my own world in my head and think of my own perspectives on the real world sometimes. I rarely share them with others unless I fully get to know them for who they are.
I've always thought I was a ambivert. Because of how much I was okay with socializing, but would get overwhelmed easily. Now seeing this it makes more sense that I act more like a social introvert
I realized that I am a social introvert as well as a thinking introvert. It bothers me so much when people tell me that I am an extrovert and not an introvert.
i feel like i’m a solid mix between the social introvert, anxious introvert and restrained introvert
‼️
i always thought i was a "fake introvert" because i wasnt anxious in social situations, at least to the extent of others. Glad to know I was just a social introvert the entire time 😁
Same here!
Personally, as a social introvert, I think an easy way to understand this type of introversion is to see a social introvert as someone who has a profound love for humanity, or just people in general. I love people, get lonely very easily, and can even be unhealthily co-dependent due to my many emotional needs. But regardless, as an introvert, i still get drained very quickly from too much social interaction. And yes, i'm still considered shyer than most 😅 But I would never shun a fellow human in the name of being "anti-social", I desperately want the people around me to know that I love them despite not having the highest level of energy for them.
Edit: I also exhibit "anxious" and "restrained" introvert behaviour, so there's more proof that i'm not an imposter i.e, extrovert in disguise 😂 Yup, i am a hardcore overthinker and over-analyzer, who is resistant to change and is more than happy to stay at home all day as long as i'm motivated, inspired, and with the people i love. Honestly tho, it's really hard for me to self-motivate after years of quarantine, and it's taken a huge toll on my mental health. Oh well, sucks to be me i guess 🤷♀️ Any fellow introverts out there who can relate to this specific type of introversion?
I’m literally all four of these. XDD But I think I’m closest to social and restrained introvert right now. I was more of a thinking and anxious introvert in school/work settings. I think that, all in all, it really depends on the day or situation for me. I guess I’m a “true introvert”. XD
I completely agree. Anxiety maybe lessens for people when they get older. That's how it was for me at least.
I'm a thinking introvert,because I always daydreaming,like all time and also all the other things this video explain about the thinking introvert,All of it is perfectly fit with me
I'm so grateful for the insights on introverts. Good to know the differences.
Im a social introvert and I love company. And i also love my solitude and self care.
I always find my answer here In this channel ☺️
Thinking and restrained come closest to me, really.
Although the restrained(and anxious) one can be from bad experiences, and at some point brain damage(when i was 11) making me unable to deal with stress too long.
So from nature (like i was as a kid) i'd be a thinking one... nerd :P
Questioning everything was annoying to the grownups, and barely had friends, and was bullied by a guy who wasn't raised well by his aggressive father... and his mother didn't seem to care enough, i think.
I'm not like your regular nerdy guys, i'm a mix of nerd and tough guy, as both parents gave me some of their better sides, too.
And my father said i was a lot like his father, who was way more reserved, honest(not always possible, though), logical(mostly this for me), and very genuine.
But hearing from my father about this man, makes me realize that man would've been liked way more than i am nowadays.
I had to become stronger to not fall into abyss mentally, as people were not honest with me, and when i became more mature, i realized not taht many are honest and open, while a nerdy guy like myself needs that, to learn about people, so i'd know who to avoid and how to be with better people than those i'd avoid.
Sorry, got carried away... happens often XD
This happens a lot, which is why i'm "daydreaming" according to others.
As kid i couldn't lie, and still bad at it, unless it's necessary, but still doesn't feel good.
Thinking about a lot related to the topic i'm typing about, thinking about how i wanna live in the future... and i can't control it much, it just happens as i breathe... very annoying when i come up with something at night.
And before i have another lifestory XD i'll stop typing now, haha!
Thanks for the video, once again.
I knew at some point the animations will improve to a smooth continuous motion and here it is.
I'm also suspecting future videos are totally gonna be like this as it'll look very professional. Improvement is one of the things everyone has to do at some point and I see it kind of similar to adapting when in different scenarios.
See you Psych2Goers on the flip side. 😁
I'm anxious, restraind , social and also thinking introvert indirectly I'm mixture of all 4
Who relate
I find myself being a mix between an anxious and a restrained introvert. I plan every social event weeks or even months ahead- if something comes up to fast I despise it and usually will come up with an excuse not to go- and throughout the event I focus less on enjoying my time and more meticulously planning everything so that is goes perfectly right. If even the slightest thing goes wrong, I associate the problem with the event and will likely avoid it and regret attempting it for years to come.
For me I'm a little mix of all of them, but mainly a restrained but social introvert
I feel that I have changed what type I am throughout my life. As a child I was very much a thinking introvert, I didn’t mind socializing but I preferred my own little world. As I grew into a teenager I turned into an anxious introvert. I always over analyzed everything I did and replayed social interactions in my head till it made me sick. In a way I was still a bit of a thinking introvert, because my automatic self defense was to escape back into my own little world again. As a young Adult I slowed edged out of the anxious stage and turned into a restrained Introvert. If I had knowledge in advance of social events I would love going, but sudden invites and sudden change terrified me. Now as I creep closer to the beginning of being a full fledged adult (30), I am much more outgoing in social groups (more so when I am among my friends or people with the same interests) and most people are surprised to find out I’m and introvert.
I'm definitely a mix between 1 and 2!
I was confused between being an introvert and an extrovert, but thanks to this video I know now that I'm a social introvert.
Thank you Psych2Go 🤗
I am social introvert. I have no idea why but it's mixed with the restrained introvert but that is just how is it 😅
I have social anxiety too and a lot of people mistake me for being the shy introvert and don't believe that I have social anxiety. Sometimes they even say social anxiety isn't even real but I gotta be strong 😊
Sending a lot of love to everyone reading this comment 💕
It's always nice to understand myself just a little bit kore without having to sacrifice hours of research in some direction. Definitely fit into the Social Introvert. 😎
Hey this was a very interesting video. I related to all four types so I guess I'm a overachieving introvert!! Thanks for the very educational post! (-:
I'm somewhere between a social introvert and a thinking introvert. I'm comfortable in social situations even though I don't prefer them, but you can often find me daydreaming
I honestly experience the same thing.
I'm a anxious introvert and an INFP too. Oh my goodness, what a great combo! 😤
I'm more of a mixture of anxious, restrained and thinking. Mostly thinking tho, live the vid!!!
I'm a thinking Introvert and can be a social introvert when the situation requires it. All these introverts types had manifested on me at some point in my life, they overlaps a lot.
I think I'm a social introvert (which surprised me), an anxious introvert, and a restrained introvert
Restrained and thinking both hold traits for me I am a deep thinker but also am likely to keep to as much a self schedule as I can.
Seem to be heavily 2 and 4 with a little of 3 and not a lot of 4. Like my routine and having things planned in advance, not spur of the moment. Ruminate on every social encounter I have and what I did wrong or could have done better. In a social setting will just sit quietly and be to myself for the most part unless someone calls on me.
I’m mainly a shy introvert…but also a mix of thinking and restrained.
I used to be a social introvert before the pandemic, now I have social anxiety and come home crying if I am around people all day.
I'm a social introvert all the way. I've always said, "The smaller your group of friends, the less crap you have to deal with." I do need those few friends though, because otherwise I'll feel trapped.
If I had to catagorize it I'd say reserved. I dislike change, I like following a set schedule and hate looking for filler for the day especially at work. At work it gets me in trouble sometimes. When things are slow and it's time to find something to do it's like oh hey groups of people at each task. Oh yes broom yes let's do that
The social introvert goes for me✌️
I am literally happier the moment me and my friends get off the bus and back towards home, like, I'd be excited to go out, then after two or three hours I get tired and want to go home, and the moment we're off the bus I'm excited again cuz we reached home 🤣🤣🤣✨
I am an social introvert and anxious introvert at the same time .I can relate that i am also a bit of other types.
from that 4 types that you described, I think I'm all for them
I am definitely a retrained introvert, but I definitely have qualities of the other 3. Thank you for this video, your videos help me understand myself so much. I am now understanding, a little late in my life, that it's ok to be an introvert.😊🥰
.Hello it's work,s I can't believe he come back to me am so happy..............
+2347055907423⏯⏯⏯⏯ Hello it's works I can't believe am with my love again after so many years of break-up ........
i mean, i relate to all of these to some degree. on the one hand, i am rarely ready to do anything when i wake up, rather spending an hour on the pad before breakfast, on the other, when i talk with my single close friend, we barely pause to breathe. if someone asks me if i can do something on the day, i will. for practicality's sake (because i share a car) its better if you ask me ahead of time so i know whether i have the car available, but if i can go now, i will. (though that may be a consequence of living in a smaller town where nothing happens and nobody my age lives.)
I'm definitely #1, but I'm so greatful for this video. I get so sick of being called an extrovert just because I'm able to function at a planned outting (Usually with my pet snakes since they keep me calm). I'm sharing the crap out of this to those who were quick to label me lol! It's great learning as well since many people just assume 2 different sides with no diversity.
Seriously, I experience the same thing and it drives me insane.
i feel as though i have anxiety in public (like “why did i do that?” “I couldve said this”) but i also relate to the social introvert as well
I'm definitely a thinking introvert. When I'm confident enough, I become a social introvert.
Gravitate toward the restrained, analytic, psychopathic introvert type. 🧐
I am a mix of social introvert and thinking introvert because with my friends and family I can talk a lot but usually not and I daydream a bit too much since sometimes when people ask me questions I don’t know how to answer or I just don’t listen because of it since I just build a wall around myself ,basically
Hope you have a great day :)))
I related most to the Restrained Introvert. Though years of working at Chuck E Cheese has honed my ability to act like an extrovert, in non-business situations I am loth to talk to strangers. It's hard to tell where the acting ends and my actual social personality begins. I always feel someone cut off from even my closest friends. I feel like I don't really know them like best friends should, and that I've somehow prevented us from being more intimate, like I actually lack the ability. It's confusing because I feel almost like I have two personalities.
I relate to this 💯
i think im a social introvert
my mental health can get really bad if i don’t go outside and hangout with my friends. i dont get low on “social battery”, i think i get just tired but dont mind the company of my friend in the room at the end of the day. i love hanging out with my friends. im only quiet if i am near a group of people i dont know: like a party, a gathering, dinner, and a classroom. but if im with one or two of my friends in those places, then i am very energetic and friendly
I'm literally the social introvert, i act extroverted but i can't stay like that for too long imma burn out😭 and i feel so drained and tired after lmao
I’m just a really anxious person I guess. Closets to the third one, I get really anxious when it comes to social situations and always overthink my relationships and interactions because I feel uncomfortable in a lot of social interactions I have.
the most relatable ones to me were probably the anxious introvert and the restrained introvert.
Proud to be a Social Introvert
I knew all those worlds i would explore while daydreaming and my love for being alone were related!
Social Introvert :) This was a great re upload
I am a think introvert. Always caught up in my own world of fantasy and challenging morals in my head. I can be social when I need to but rly I only got like 2 close friends
I seem to overlap between thinking, anxious, and restrained introvert.
Dude, I always called myself a “confident introvert” guess it’s actually “social introversion”
I’m constantly mistaken as an extrovert by people that don’t know me personally, but those that do know I need time to recharge. And yes, I do keep my inner thoughts and feelings under lock and key, and have only one person I’ve managed to open up too.
Same here mate, same here.
I honestly relate to all of these. I daydream so much. I could look at a ceiling fan and imagine myself being a tiny ant riding it lol. I replay the scenarios and get shy around multiple people because I don’t know what to expect. Also I hate talking to people who don’t talk back. I hate small talk as well and for some reason, I hate when people compliment me. It’s definitely strange I say thank you, but deep down I don’t really like it. I guess I feel unworthy of compliments. Strange huh? But when I’m around people I’m comfortable with, I love talking and am very social. I just want to be an introvert that keeps to himself, but is social when he needs to be. Kinda like Keanu Reaves or Michael Jackson. They’re introverted, but when it’s time to get social and do what they love, they become the warriors we love and admire. That’s what I want to be. I don’t want to feel forced to talk tho, but that’s a different story.
I didn't know there were types of introverts. Looks like I fall under the restrained introvert though which makes sense as I pre plan all my outside endeavours & don't really like socialising unless necessary.
I'm more of an anxious and thinking introvert, but I don't really know cause I have social anxiety which make any social interaction quite hard and friendship difficult
Guess imma freestyle introvert. Depends on who surrounds me i guess.
Honestly, I'm kind of a mixture of thinking introvert and anxious introvert... I do like spending time alone with my thoughts, but I also get nervous when some stranger or a group of strangers tries to talk with me😅
I really loved your videos about introverts 😍💜💜💜looking forward to more videos about introverts
I'm more like the social introvert with atention deficit disease (without hyperactivity)
I love your videos!!!❤️❤️❤️
I'm definitely a mix of anxious and restrained.
Yo, I think I'm an restrained introvert bc I always like relaxing in my house as my weekend plans and I would sometimes have a hard time getting out of my bed to go to do my morning plans on the weekdays, but I'll tried to make the most of my introverted self.
I am a social introvert, but I can often be restrained introvert and I have a little bit of social anxiety
I think I am a social introvert, because as much as I really love communicating and spending time with people (sometimes even being the center of attention), I definitely get my energy from alone time. The problem is, I have social anxiety disorder so it's really difficult for me to branch out, and I tend to frequently question myself and my social behaviors.
I’m mostly a social introvert for the part of being very open with my close friends, but I don’t like being around people I don’t know, and will get anxiety when I’m being put in a situation with people I don’t know, in including family members I see in very now and again but don’t really know.
I'm all of them except the social introvert. I don't think anyone would mistake me as an extrovert.
I'm somewhere between Thinking and Anxious Introvert. Probably the first one a little bit more.
I think I'm a anxious introvert, then again I have anxiety and stuff like that so I could just have anxiety problems XD
The only reason i watch these are because i have… a lot of this stuff and i want to see how right y’all get it and so far 100%👌
I'm an guess I'm a social introvert. But not completely. I'm in no way outgoing but will welcome a social event if asked. I do get exhausted when not in my comfort zone like my house. But I find the main reason I don't socialize is because I think very different than others and it agitates me when people do something in front of me that is incomprehensible. Unfortunately this also makes it hard for me to make friends because it's very common for me to accidentally say something that might upset the one I'm talking to. I'm a very logical thinker and so it's very difficult for me to understand emotions and what causes different reactions. In the end I find myself to just remain distant from people as to avoid more problems.
I'm a social introvert. I love being by myself but I feel pressured to go out regularly so I don't feel like I "miss out" on life, so I push myself to be active over and over again. I feel drained quickly but when I'm out I turn up the volume and I become an initiator for activities and conversation. I also daydream a lot, especially when I need a moment for myself in an exhausting or boring social setting. Other than that I'm full of energy when outside and completely drained when at home. It's an exhausting way to live but I feel fulfilled.
Social-before Covid, I had parties at my home so I can control when people leave. 😁. Then I would’ve had fun but I wouldn’t have to worry about new people or people trying to make me stay out longer.
i am Restrained i dont really like change and i dont like sharing my feelings even to my parents
1 and 3 is like me, cause im always like that, sometimes im shy sometimes im not, and i don't understand the way im act
