[Introverts] Me: Hey dad, I'm just gonna get something real quick Dad: Alright Me: *walking towards an aisle and sees friend* Me: *starts to reverse back* Dad: Did you get the thing you wanted? Me: They're out of stock
Wow, there is so much we have no control over in life that makes life difficult. How many introverts actually commit a school shooting? Then they get arrested. I don't know why police has to exist and add to people's problems. My "Impact" a James Grider novel linked in my videos will make you hate police.
Really liked this video! I think that the narrator speaking about his personnal experience gives a new enlightment about such subject! Moreover it makes it easier to relate to this and/or apply it to an introverted friend you did not undestand when they had a pissed off reaction And it was good to remind us of the article since this video has a more intimate approach and then loses a bit of the factual aspect
I often find that if I get really pissed I actually stop responding in words, I take an aggressive stance (bodylanguage-wise), and I start responding only with gestures like nodding, raising my eyebrows and tilting my head, all the while STARING into the other persons eyes as a warning to shut up and leave me alone or get hurt. Luckily my friends know how to read me at this point, so they'll leave me alone to think, or they just get me a beer or do something nice, without talking to me or engaging in any way.
Smoke Weed Just to be clear, fuckface, it's not the beer that makes me happy, it's that they are nice enough to get it for me. I'd do the same for any of them in a heartbeat.
I wish my friends (and literally everyone else) would get that I'm bloody pissed and don't want to start a conversation about smelly cheese or who's going out with who.
Nobody understands just how important this message is. Relatives couldn't understand this to save their lives, to the point where I wish to end my own.
Why don't you tell them then? Nothing is gonna changed if you don't take any action. I used to be frustrated by my passive aggressiveness but now I can explicitly express my anger. I feel that much better than holding grudge for a long time and explode to rage outburst.
Do TinThinh I relate to him, too. Relatives just never understand this. As for me, I would never tell my parents because they'd either just laugh or get angry. I literally grew up being afraid of what my parents would do to me, so instead of telling them I was angry, I would let my rage dissolve into a fit of tears, and if I hadn't fallen asleep after then, I would start thinking suicidal thoughts. It got to a point where I was almost depressed, and I'm literally at that point now. Where that's leading to, I don't know.
Telling an introvert to stand up to relatives... It's right up there with "You just need to get more confidence" and "Why not try to be more assertive"
Yeah. You share genetics, so clearly they are either entitled to make you communicate what you're thinking, or they believe that they already know it despite you not communicating. Naw.
I´m an introvert, too, and whenever I was mad, I´d give one word responces or talk about completely unimportant stuff. You know, smalltalk. So, this created the connection "smalltalk = he´s pissed" in my brain, and this still affects me today. Whenever someone tries to have a nice little chat, I´d sometimes think they´re at the brink of a violent outburst of rage.
I relate with every single thing said in this video. The worst part is that when people don't notice when we introverts are pissed, is they try to engage, which just makes us more pissed.
Craig Kogan i know how hard this may sound, god knows i still have trouble doing this, but you should try telling the person in front of you that you’re pissed off, even if you’re not necessarily pissed off at them. Keep in mind that a lot of people have a hard time understanding the actions of others, so this may be frustrating for the other person as well as you. Bottling your emotions can do some serious damage on the long run.
I'm an extrovert and I know I'd try to keep you talking to tell me what's wrong so I could help fix it.... clearly the wrong approach. I'm trying to learn more about introverts so I can be much more sensitive to their needs.
When I'm pissed I don't really show it at all. I might sound a little irritated. I stop being mad at people really easily too, because I feel bad for being mad.
People to me(an introvert): "You should be more social" **Tries to be social** **Interrupted, ignored, talked over** **Stops trying to be social** **Still keep bothering me about being social** Me(my head): *shut the hell up* Me: **Ignoring them**
Ben McClure imma just tell them to shut tf up then I had this before they think they’re your personal therapist but don’t even hear what you have to say
This is video is completely a 100% accurate of my life. I have to let more people in, I need to let people see how I feel, cause it's very unhealthy. And I'm way to good at it now, I can literally feel INTENSE hate and rage, and everybody might... just might suspect that I'm a little bit tired or not really interested but I usually can convince them that I'm content. It's quite amazing and scary I know, but even though it can be an excellent defense mechanism. It's not very human, almost other worldly actually. I need people I can trust, and I want to open up too... 😐(Myyyyy Poker Face!!! 🎶)
I'm an introvert but I'm not that guy who just has a poker face when I'm pissed. If someone asks me how I feel my answer is always honest. Why? Because I hate lying even on the smallest things in life.
Same, idk why but for some reason being dishonest or having to lie usually kinda hurts me & i would rather try avoid doing that though not necessarily always but doesn't mean I never ever lie
This was so emotionally beautiful. 🙏 My soul just had a deep inhale exhale experience. When you're an introvert it's equally important to activate a healthy combination of communication, remedies for dealing with intense emotions, allowing people to know the importance of respecting your time & space, as wel as an action plan to speak your truth authentically. Much love to all of those who aren't afraid to go within so they can reflect that inner light without in the most positive way. 💛
Thanks for this video, even my friends misinterpret my emotions. When I'm really sad they just think that I'm tired. When I scream inside my head and want to die my facial expression is just like the one when I'm tired.
Even though I'm an introvert and also have these problems, when I'm talking to another introvert and I notice they're pissed off (to me it's really easy) I often don't stand aside and am just being nice. Or eventually manipulate them either into explaining what's wrong or at least getting them to admit that something is wrong, even if they aren't comfortable sharing.
Every introvert secretly wants people to know what's troubling them but they don't want to interact at the same time. However, say that they don't have to tell you what's bothering them but you're there to listen and accept if they need you and they might actually tell you.
Nojatha This kind of behaviour has actually led to some rants. But bitching about things when in bad mood is normal and there never were consequences. I personally do stuff I enjoy when I'm in bad mood and this, surprisinglyb often includes interaction with some people.
This is exactly how my life works but when I get angry I just put on my fake happy face but when I'm about to lose it I just give my friends a friendly death stare that simply "says back off"
I always thought what was wrong with me why I am annoyed from my friends if they not really annoyed me, and this video helps me alot to understand why I am like this, and ofc I felt that I need space by myself but I wanna hangout with my friends too, but I felt I dont wanna because I wanna be alone sometimes, and if I dont do that I will easily showing that I am annoyed or mad at them and they will than literally confuse why I am mad, and on this situation I will say "I wanna be just alone but not in long time...!". So yeah only introverts can understand this topic of situation😅👍
This explains a lot of me and my past. So many people ask me if I'm okay or if everything is alright. But, most of the time I was either depressed or didn't know what I felt. I was just stuck in a way. But this video has helped me and I can share it with others who are concerned of me. Thank you for that 😊
HEY THERE!!! IM A BIG FAN, and I'm and introvert. Im 12 and I don't know what to do with my life, I don't understand how to be like everyone else. I have a boyfriend and I try so hard to keep him happy,but I don't if I'm doing to much or to little. Im depressed,and people don't know, I don't know if it would make a difference if I told them anyways. I have 5 friends including my boyfriend. I need help what should I do to understand others ._.
Just be yourself. Introverts are never going to be the same as extroverts, if that's what you mean. I too am an introvert, and I'll never be as intimate and cuddly with my friends as they are to eachother. However, if you find friends that respect that, it shouldn't be a problem. Also, don't worry what to do with your life lol! You're only 12, and you've got plenty of time to decide. No one really knows what to do with their life, just live it and see :p Speight .B That surely helped! Thanks for giving this useful advice.. smh
Don't be like everyone else, be yourself, it really won't matter when we are all dead. Don't be a slave to anyone, especially not your boyfriend, they will use you. Read a lot of books on the subject, about psychology, friendships and primate behavior. Continue watching Psych2Go and also: ruclips.net/user/charismaoncommand
I am an extrovert and do really care for my introvert lover. He is quite apprehensive and feels irritated when I care for him nowadays as he is not ready for a relationship and thinks he is giving me false hopes. What to do😥
I'm so happy to see this, as of late my mom hasn't been giving me any space she'll do little things to set me off and when I just need a little space from her she gets even more in your face which would get me more aggressive, I keep trying to get away but she would then start shouting and yelling at me till I would come out, she doesn't understand or refuses to listen when I try to tell her, I just need a little room please leave me alone for a while, she'll then become infuriated and insulted that I said it but... it's becoming suffocating.. it's hard when you don't get to have that room for yourself and there's always prying eyes watching EVERYTHING you do
Ahh, I understand that . It is really annoying that you are being judged over the simplest of things when you do something differently than the way they want . My inner self starts screaming " Let me do my stuff in peace , stop looking at me "
Thank you for, it makes me feel better that I'm not the only one who does this and I hope I can learn after watching this to open up more to others about how I'm feeling or when I'm pissed off, and maybe even learn to forgive.
the only emotion that people can actually see is when im sad but every other emotion they dont know. then they call me crazy when i release all my rage at them in ONE."RUDE".SENTENCE.
Basically my mood at any given time will either be angry, stressed, or sad. Mostly the cause of this is school but yeah, I basically always have a smile because if anyone saw me on the inside, they would probably turn the other way and run
Being an introvert myself, I understand the feeling. Growing up, there were times I felt so pissed, I just kept it deep down, trying not to blow up. It's natural for me not to express how I feel most of the time. When some people in particular might ask how I feel, I'll try to convince them I'm really all right, even though sometimes I might not be. Now only very few people really piss me off and I can deal with it better.
I had those two problems except the last one. It was pretty annoying to deal with. Sometimes I wouldn't catch myself giving off a negative attitude/tone towards that person.
I get upset and pissed off when my mom, or dad, or both mom and dad take a day off work that they try to stay out of my way i want to be relaxed alone to myself, if they don’t stay out of my way, I move to another quiet room place that makes me get pissed off and upset I don’t appreciate it.
This is exactly how I get when I feel offended or upset. I'm so glad I found This channel. Thank you sooooo much for posting...I thought something was wrong with me for being different. Now I know, I'm just an introvert.
I know someone who's clueless about socialising, even more than me. He's no introvert but he's oblivious about everything, he also doesn't shut up about how hard his life is despite coming from a rich family and gets paid even though he has no job, a real spoilt brat. I can't even have a conversation with him, he'll call me and be rambling about nothing for 40 minutes while I'm just going "Yup. Mhmm. Yeah." every few seconds. I find there's more and more people like this in the world, and it'll only get worse. I wish people would just leave me alone.
Someone will literally just say to me “are you alright?” When I’m completely fine and I’m like “uh, yeah...” I guess the robot face makes them think somethings wrong
This is so relatable. I thought something was wrong with me. And it's not just when I'm mad, it's almost any emotion. I don't know how to express my feelings.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and emotions with us. While I was listening to it I was wondering why you don't try to express your emotions instead of swallowing them? Are you afraid of other people's reactions? Or are you afraid to get rejected? I mean after all nobody can read your mind and without proper communication nothing will change at all. Good luck for your further journey. 😊
Being an introvert guy is a total f*cked up to live. So I often express senseless rage so that they will leave me alone. I guess I have no right to have an inner peace.😔
Thats the worst part its so hard for others to see your emotions and take the hint. My only tell is shuting down fully or my clenched fist with heavy breathing. We dont want an outburst but its nearly inevitable.
Man, this is me at school. For example, I always have a straight up poker-face and it usually seems to people that I'm fine. But, I get annoyed at people easily, friends even, so I usually will blow up in the middle of class by just crying silently for no reason. Thankfully, for me, this only will happen usually 2-3 times per year. And it annoys me even more because then people realize I'm crying and start asking me why I'm crying or if I'm alright. I find it to be more comfortable when I'm doing work by myself and not talking to others. Reason being, I know that they'll annoy me to the point I'm just wanting to tell them to go away but I know it's rude to so I don't.
Is this a retake on a previous video? I remember seeing the same topic but I highly disagreed with the points in the video. I'm still not sure if this is introverted behaviour per say but this is much better then the last one. I feel like an extroverted person might use the same method in order to not bothered.
I was thinking the same thing, there was a crappy one about the same thing a few months ago. The girl was listing them, and I agreed with like 2 of 11. I only remember it because of how wrong it was
I'm glad I wasn't the only one!!! I even related to it but not because of my introvertness but only because I don't like confrontation (and not in the socially draining way either). It was upsetting to me how so specific they made the introvert personality when it's really not like that for everyone!
When as an introvert I pissed off I need someone close to open up Nd spit all the anger for whatever reason I was pissed off most of the tym just let it go Nd forgive Nd chill
I get it is hard to let people know when your mad but your making it seem that it is their foult comunacation is the better option I know that that is hard I am a true introvert at hard
jip huiswerk I agree, but it can be absolutely frustrating when they want to know the reason why I feel pissed. I don't want to talk about it and that's exactly what I say to them. Yet some still insist that they want to know and help. It's aggravating! "I just want to be alone right now", "... is there something wrong?" "I'll talk about it later" "come on, let's have a ch- "I SAID!! ... Just let me cool off for today, 'Kay?" I understand their intentions, but that is just how I am.
OMFG THIS IS SO RELATABLE IM LITERALLY SCREAMING BECAUSE FINALLY SOMEONE WHO GETS IT!!!!!! It makes me so frustrated when people don’t get I’m mad cause like I don’t like yelling at people so I just pretend everything is fine but avoid interaction by barely speaking to them and they never seem to realize that I’m pissed off! And then when I blow up over lil things they think I’m a bitch!!!! Like ugh it’s so annoying and I love seeing I’m not the only one!
That's pretty much true for me. Besides the frustration, they didn't know when I get depressed or stressed out because I rarely show any facial expressions. In high school, I often got asked if I'm alright when I just mind my own business and wanted to relax after long day.
Uhhh, are you sure this is about introversion? Because I'm an introvert, yet I don't relate to this much. When I'm pissed of, I say "I'm pissed right now, I'll talk to you later, ok? Ok".
Yeah. This is just his own experience as an introvert. It, of course, will vary by person. It's a good thing that you tell people when you're pissed off!
Are you sure about that? A lot of introverts in the comment section seem to fail to relate to his experience, which suggests that maybe this doesn't have as much to do with being an introvert, rather it's more about not being straightforward enough?
Because nobody is 100% introvert. Some people have signs that other don't. The person that did this video had this one, while you didn,t have it. A lot of people can relate to it in the comment, too.
Bastobasto Err, signs of introversiom are just that, signs. The trait discussed in this video is just a trait some introverts share, this doesn't have to do anything with how much introverted one is. Most introverts love books too, but an extremely introverted person could easily dislike or even despise books (for whatever reason :\ ).
One time I got REALLY pissed because I was doing an activity in pairs with my best friend and she wasn't doing anything but still tried to talk to me and distract me and I was like, I'm doing it all so just shut up, but she didn't seem to notice, then I tried to give her something to do, but she always would tell, I can't do that I'm not intelligent like you, and when I finally got her something to do she started asking me silly questions like, what would happen if I accidentally added an s to a word that wasn't supposed to have it? and I was like, just fucking erase it! and she was really slow so I decided to do it myself and told her to write the tittle of the mental map, but she wanted to do it exactly as the example and it was really hard to make her understand that she didn't have to make it that way, so when I finished I started doing the mental map but I think I was rude and I'm pretty sure she got mad and I apologized a few times but she told me it was was okay and that she wasn't mad but I knew she was. The next day she acted as if nothing had happened and I still don't understand it, I don't know whenever she was acting or she really wasn't mad
I have this one guy that I dated once. Didn't work out so we broke up. The problem here is after we broke up HE STILL FOLLOWED Me for a while it was just here and then but now this dude follows me EVERYWHERE. HE. WONT. GO. AWAY. I did every tactic a introvert could possibly create. But this dude never takes the hint. He makes terrible jokes and rephrases year old memes. The thing is when the few moments he did actually realise I wanted him tone he'd leave. AND COME BACK IN LIKE 5 MINUTES. Hes always trying to hit on me even though i DONT LIKE THAT. I AM AN INTROVERT. I LIKE BEING TREATED AS A FRIEND NOT SOME SENPAI SHIT. This seriously won't leave me alone it's too the point where my mom is concerned about this stuff. The dude still follows and still is yet to take the hint I don't like him...
I had an assistant chief that found out the hard way I am an introvert. I had been asking her for help over a 3 year period, with no response. Well, in a department meeting she asked if anyone had questions. I looked at my coworker sitting beside me and told her to stand back and give me some room. I snapped so badly I blacked out. I left the department 9 months later, during which the assistant chief never spoke to me or walked near my office.
These is so relatable. what happens to me is I'm super pissed of is. Hi umm can you carry these for me. ok 😖 1 min later. ok I just need to get to my room and cool off. hey can you give me a hand. hey I want to show you something. 😡Ok then my sister pokes me me aaaaaaaaaaaaaa THATS IT. and then my mom comes in and goes don't me mean to your sister. Before you ask I have a big family anyway hope you have a good day XD
Tanzanight same , I have 6 siblings , 7 including me , and I'm an introvert , it's really hard and annoying . and I'm the middle child so my mom did the really pay attention to me that much , like she didn't care how I feel ,she's always too busy with the other kids
If you think about it, you created a really good opportunity to conect with her. I mean now you are pretty sure you pissed her off. Go to her, talk to her and let her know. Probably just a few people will know that she is pissed off. If she has the feeling that you understand her when almost no one else does, she will get interested in you cause of that. Try it bro, just be yourself and be honest.
That Guy Dude, I don't know how old you are. But I am 20years old, from Germany/Austria. I missed quite a few chances when it comes to girls, I kind of regret it. ;) It might look like a cruel step for you now, but if you look back on it later it's not really a big deal.
I don't think any of these points were about introversion. Being an introvert /outrovert simply describes how a person loses / gains energy. It doesn't always affect a person's behaviour in such a way this video described.
When I'm pissed off and people just don't get it, I tell them to stop talking to me before I explode.. I'm kinda not able to tell them they piss me off.. I just say I'm pissed in general bc I don't want to hurt them even though they piss me off and I kinda know that's irrational as hell but I'm doing it anyway.
Did you pay attention to the video? The speaker mentioned multiple times that it was his own fault for assuming others would automatically know how he was really feeling. Also, introversion *is* a healthy lifestyle, it's just a little different.
Introvert here. Instead of lying and saying you're fine you could just be an adult and say ' you upset me and we can talk about it after I've processed it." You not talking to people that have upset you isn't an introvert problem. That's a YOU problem. This video just fuels more misconceptions about introverts.
I don't think this person speaking is an introvert. He's just an angry person and excuses himself to be an introvert. More like depressed. He even curses "why the hell"...
helenGD So you're saying I can't be an introvert if I have anger issues and depression? Which book of psychology did that come from? You are aware that people can have multiple issues, diagnosis and even personality traits, right? I'm an introvert who is asocial, but can get antisocial in minutes if not seconds. I've been diagnosed with clinical depression, social and general anxiety. Human beings have layers in case you didn't know.
I have a similar combination of traits and can fully relate to this video. Maybe not all introverts have these tendencies to struggle with, but I do, and so do a quite few other introverts I have got to know over the years. No extrovert I have talked with has admitted to having these feelings or shown this type of behaviour, so I think this person would be an introvert.
Introverts are saints or something like that? I don't think so, I'm introvert because I feel more relaxed when I'm alone, but that don't limit me to have feelings towards others: admiration, love, sadness, anger, etc. The difference is how we express that feelings, similar to the video.
you and me both...ever since i met this person at my college, i getting piss off with the things he doing and keep bothering me when i showing signs that i want to be alone for once and i told him so many that i need time alone but he continues to do it. i don't understand. i making obvious sign and he still not getting it. but idk i think something about him that makes a little special but it still gets me angry that there are people who are not aware of signs. I tend to observe a lot of people behavior for many years so i can tell how people are feeling. i can't blame people for that either tho plus the killing part thing...so me everytime
i am on personal level with this channel. This guy literally speaks my language and tell my life stories. i guess we are all not that different after all.
this doesn't only go for being pissed, also other negative emotions. One time in school, i was really sad and stressed because i'd just started at this new school and had to strain myself to constantly be super social, wanting them all to like me - and one morning i was so tired and just couldn't go on without letting out a few feelings. i locked myself in the bathroom and cried a little, and it felt a tiny bit better. when i got out, someone had noticed me being gone for a while, and asked if i was okay. the one-word response also goes for this, i believe. for introverts, or at least me, it would be super obvious that if anyone just said "I'm fine", they wouldn't be fine at all. only my two closest friends in this new class knew i wasn't fine when i said i was, and they didn't even talk to me because they knew i didn't need that kind of cheering up. they just walked around with me outside all recess, kicking rocks, and even though kicking rocks seems like a really boring thing to do, it was really nice bonding time and i now know that i've been really lucky with finding these people that just understand me.
How to tell if you’ve pissed off an introvert?
If they send you this video
The way you phrased this kinda reminds me of Alien guy memes xD
Did you get sent the link as well?
That means they took the effort to do so which probably means they want to violently murder you
I Have To Send This To People....
That's not good news for me. Someone repeatedly sent it and the moment I talked to them a few days later they basically fainted.
Oh dear.
[Introverts]
Me: Hey dad, I'm just gonna get something real quick
Dad: Alright
Me: *walking towards an aisle and sees friend*
Me: *starts to reverse back*
Dad: Did you get the thing you wanted?
Me: They're out of stock
weeping ghosts That's me lmao
#relatable
Why am I like this? (Not sad or mad or anything)
weeping ghosts oml thats me in a nutshell
Relate.
how to tell if you've pissed off an extrovert:
He will tell you.
may the force be with you fellow introverts
Personal Power may the force ever serve you:)
They delete you from Facebook. Lol.
He might even slap you in the face.
You will have a broken jawbone and a nose.
Wow, there is so much we have no control over in life that makes life difficult. How many introverts actually commit a school shooting? Then they get arrested. I don't know why police has to exist and add to people's problems. My "Impact" a James Grider novel linked in my videos will make you hate police.
My greedy self thought the "stay away" sign was a wedge of cheese.
yeah me too
Caution: Deadly cheese
Eccentricity lol
I thought that too. XD
Same
Turn and run.
I always sit on the corner of a classroom (in a chair), how do I turn and run at that point?
nah I won't bother I'll just stand here and accept my fate XD jk I want to be your friend XDDD I'm well I'm fine rlly
Really liked this video!
I think that the narrator speaking about his personnal experience gives a new enlightment about such subject!
Moreover it makes it easier to relate to this and/or apply it to an introverted friend you did not undestand when they had a pissed off reaction
And it was good to remind us of the article since this video has a more intimate approach and then loses a bit of the factual aspect
Yalendaël I
Why is this comment from 5 months ago I'm confused?
Evil Morty Smith it's private release
5 months ago?
I often find that if I get really pissed I actually stop responding in words, I take an aggressive stance (bodylanguage-wise), and I start responding only with gestures like nodding, raising my eyebrows and tilting my head, all the while STARING into the other persons eyes as a warning to shut up and leave me alone or get hurt.
Luckily my friends know how to read me at this point, so they'll leave me alone to think, or they just get me a beer or do something nice, without talking to me or engaging in any way.
Smoke Weed Just to be clear, fuckface, it's not the beer that makes me happy, it's that they are nice enough to get it for me. I'd do the same for any of them in a heartbeat.
I use telepathy to warn people to stay away too.
I wish my friends (and literally everyone else) would get that I'm bloody pissed and don't want to start a conversation about smelly cheese or who's going out with who.
I’m somewhat like that as well
juicy papito Your friends seem considerate, maybe you should stay away from them since they're too good for you.
What if you don't have a reason to be pissed off? And you're just angry? And get annoyed easily?
Joel Lloyd Me too.
me, and introvert who gets jealous and pissed off easily.
@Bobby Papoutsis so Im a heartless Jerk? I get annoyed with someone, even with my bestfriends with no reason 😂😂 idk why.
@Bobby Papoutsis I think I should get tested 😂 Sometimes Its comes out in the wrong time.
That could be a sign of depression. It’s like you have some unresolved conflict and it’s your body’s way of responding to it
"Cool down... Ponder how I'm gonna kill someone..."
ME
eeyup, same
Me too
same
PresidentKiyoko my mind in a netshell
Yep, did that about an hour ago. I'm good now tho
Nobody understands just how important this message is.
Relatives couldn't understand this to save their lives, to the point where I wish to end my own.
Why don't you tell them then? Nothing is gonna changed if you don't take any action. I used to be frustrated by my passive aggressiveness but now I can explicitly express my anger. I feel that much better than holding grudge for a long time and explode to rage outburst.
Do TinThinh I relate to him, too. Relatives just never understand this. As for me, I would never tell my parents because they'd either just laugh or get angry. I literally grew up being afraid of what my parents would do to me, so instead of telling them I was angry, I would let my rage dissolve into a fit of tears, and if I hadn't fallen asleep after then, I would start thinking suicidal thoughts. It got to a point where I was almost depressed, and I'm literally at that point now. Where that's leading to, I don't know.
Fuck you, I'll respond as late as I want
Telling an introvert to stand up to relatives...
It's right up there with "You just need to get more confidence" and "Why not try to be more assertive"
Yeah. You share genetics, so clearly they are either entitled to make you communicate what you're thinking, or they believe that they already know it despite you not communicating.
Naw.
So…me on a daily basis
Spyder Pig same :|
Your profile pic ;-;
Vy Phuong HIS PROFILE PIC IS PERFECT FOR THIS LOL!
Love your profile pic made my day XD
Saaaaaaame.
Yeet
I´m an introvert, too, and whenever I was mad, I´d give one word responces or talk about completely unimportant stuff. You know, smalltalk.
So, this created the connection "smalltalk = he´s pissed" in my brain, and this still affects me today. Whenever someone tries to have a nice little chat, I´d sometimes think they´re at the brink of a violent outburst of rage.
"- Hey, have you heard the latest hit? It's really amazing--
- CALM DOWN MAN, CHILL! HERE'S MY WALLET, PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!"
But seriously, it still affects you, even though you realize that that connection is pretty ridiculous?
I relate with every single thing said in this video. The worst part is that when people don't notice when we introverts are pissed, is they try to engage, which just makes us more pissed.
Craig Kogan Have you maybe considered the fact that not everyone is a psychic?
I'm not trying to blame others for not noticing. I'm venting a bit of annoyance and frustration.
Craig Kogan i know how hard this may sound, god knows i still have trouble doing this, but you should try telling the person in front of you that you’re pissed off, even if you’re not necessarily pissed off at them. Keep in mind that a lot of people have a hard time understanding the actions of others, so this may be frustrating for the other person as well as you. Bottling your emotions can do some serious damage on the long run.
It's good advice, and I've heard it before, but easier said then done.
I'm an extrovert and I know I'd try to keep you talking to tell me what's wrong so I could help fix it.... clearly the wrong approach. I'm trying to learn more about introverts so I can be much more sensitive to their needs.
When I'm pissed I don't really show it at all. I might sound a little irritated. I stop being mad at people really easily too, because I feel bad for being mad.
I feel you completely.
Same
I hate the fact that you basically described me
People to me(an introvert):
"You should be more social"
**Tries to be social**
**Interrupted, ignored, talked over**
**Stops trying to be social**
**Still keep bothering me about being social**
Me(my head): *shut the hell up*
Me: **Ignoring them**
Ben McClure imma just tell them to shut tf up then I had this before they think they’re your personal therapist but don’t even hear what you have to say
Ok
I related to this so much. Too much.....

Really liked the title of this video.
Nathanimations sarcasm? xd
This is video is completely a 100% accurate of my life. I have to let more people in, I need to let people see how I feel, cause it's very unhealthy.
And I'm way to good at it now, I can literally feel INTENSE hate and rage, and everybody might... just might suspect that I'm a little bit tired or not really interested but I usually can convince them that I'm content. It's quite amazing and scary I know, but even though it can be an excellent defense mechanism. It's not very human, almost other worldly actually. I need people I can trust, and I want to open up too... 😐(Myyyyy Poker Face!!! 🎶)
Jdabomb93 I’m like that. Unless I don’t want to be lol
Ugh exactly!!!
Hate is so strong i have one tatoo meaning rage and the other means wrath . ( my next one might be a musical note tho. toot toot )
Jdabomb93 i have 3 close friends but have never been to their houses
so i am very introverted

Happy to make you feel validated. Lol 😊
Sometimes, an introvert just wants you to care.
I'm an introvert but I'm not that guy who just has a poker face when I'm pissed. If someone asks me how I feel my answer is always honest. Why? Because I hate lying even on the smallest things in life.
Same, idk why but for some reason being dishonest or having to lie usually kinda hurts me & i would rather try avoid doing that though not necessarily always but doesn't mean I never ever lie
My expression of my inside rage when really pissed off, a volcano about to explode with a horrible amount of shaking involved.
Why I see message from 5 month ago.. the video came today..
I think YpuTube explosed.
Blood Light, yea I see wat u mean. RUclips finally snapped. All the ads n stuff made it glitch. Lol 😂
Good, i'm not the only one
it was unlisted for 5 months
YpuTube explosed
Favorite quote "You want to perform CPR on me to stop me from dieing. No don't touch me."
This was so emotionally beautiful. 🙏 My soul just had a deep inhale exhale experience. When you're an introvert it's equally important to activate a healthy combination of communication, remedies for dealing with intense emotions, allowing people to know the importance of respecting your time & space, as wel as an action plan to speak your truth authentically. Much love to all of those who aren't afraid to go within so they can reflect that inner light without in the most positive way. 💛
Thanks for this video, even my friends misinterpret my emotions. When I'm really sad they just think that I'm tired. When I scream inside my head and want to die my facial expression is just like the one when I'm tired.
Even though I'm an introvert and also have these problems, when I'm talking to another introvert and I notice they're pissed off (to me it's really easy) I often don't stand aside and am just being nice. Or eventually manipulate them either into explaining what's wrong or at least getting them to admit that something is wrong, even if they aren't comfortable sharing.
" *manipulate* them into explaining what's wrong"
oh boy
Kenny it's shitty innit? im quite manipulative at times and im trying to change myself but I dk how :/
I meant the word choice. "Manipulating" someone into explaining what's wrong, the word choice is a little... weird, to say the least.
Every introvert secretly wants people to know what's troubling them but they don't want to interact at the same time. However, say that they don't have to tell you what's bothering them but you're there to listen and accept if they need you and they might actually tell you.
Nojatha This kind of behaviour has actually led to some rants. But bitching about things when in bad mood is normal and there never were consequences. I personally do stuff I enjoy when I'm in bad mood and this, surprisinglyb often includes interaction with some people.
This is exactly how my life works but when I get angry I just put on my fake happy face but when I'm about to lose it I just give my friends a friendly death stare that simply "says back off"
I always thought what was wrong with me why I am annoyed from my friends if they not really annoyed me, and this video helps me alot to understand why I am like this, and ofc I felt that I need space by myself but I wanna hangout with my friends too, but I felt I dont wanna because I wanna be alone sometimes, and if I dont do that I will easily showing that I am annoyed or mad at them and they will than literally confuse why I am mad, and on this situation I will say "I wanna be just alone but not in long time...!". So yeah only introverts can understand this topic of situation😅👍
1:10 well of course. They're looking in the wrong direction.
This explains a lot of me and my past. So many people ask me if I'm okay or if everything is alright. But, most of the time I was either depressed or didn't know what I felt. I was just stuck in a way. But this video has helped me and I can share it with others who are concerned of me. Thank you for that 😊
HEY THERE!!! IM A BIG FAN, and I'm and introvert. Im 12 and I don't know what to do with my life, I don't understand how to be like everyone else. I have a boyfriend and I try so hard to keep him happy,but I don't if I'm doing to much or to little. Im depressed,and people don't know, I don't know if it would make a difference if I told them anyways. I have 5 friends including my boyfriend. I need help what should I do to understand others ._.
Speight .B idk
Wow ...just wow
Kenna Hamilton yeah me eather
Just be yourself. Introverts are never going to be the same as extroverts, if that's what you mean. I too am an introvert, and I'll never be as intimate and cuddly with my friends as they are to eachother. However, if you find friends that respect that, it shouldn't be a problem.
Also, don't worry what to do with your life lol! You're only 12, and you've got plenty of time to decide. No one really knows what to do with their life, just live it and see :p
Speight .B That surely helped! Thanks for giving this useful advice.. smh
Don't be like everyone else, be yourself, it really won't matter when we are all dead.
Don't be a slave to anyone, especially not your boyfriend, they will use you.
Read a lot of books on the subject, about psychology, friendships and primate behavior.

I am an extrovert and do really care for my introvert lover. He is quite apprehensive and feels irritated when I care for him nowadays as he is not ready for a relationship and thinks he is giving me false hopes. What to do😥
I'm so happy to see this, as of late my mom hasn't been giving me any space she'll do little things to set me off and when I just need a little space from her she gets even more in your face which would get me more aggressive, I keep trying to get away but she would then start shouting and yelling at me till I would come out, she doesn't understand or refuses to listen when I try to tell her, I just need a little room please leave me alone for a while, she'll then become infuriated and insulted that I said it but... it's becoming suffocating.. it's hard when you don't get to have that room for yourself and there's always prying eyes watching EVERYTHING you do
Ahh, I understand that . It is really annoying that you are being judged over the simplest of things when you do something differently than the way they want . My inner self starts screaming " Let me do my stuff in peace , stop looking at me "
Thank you for, it makes me feel better that I'm not the only one who does this and I hope I can learn after watching this to open up more to others about how I'm feeling or when I'm pissed off, and maybe even learn to forgive.
the only emotion that people can actually see is when im sad but every other emotion they dont know. then they call me crazy when i release all my rage at them in ONE."RUDE".SENTENCE.
Sounds like you were extremely childish. Glad to hear you've grown up.
Everyone tells me I always look pissed off, even when i'm not.
Basically my mood at any given time will either be angry, stressed, or sad. Mostly the cause of this is school but yeah, I basically always have a smile because if anyone saw me on the inside, they would probably turn the other way and run
I’m an introvert and OH MY LORD THIS GIRL IS PISSING ME OFF
Forgive them? No fking way. You've pissed me off, you made me an enemy for life. And this is why I have no friends at 37.
When I'm completely pissed off, I keep smiling, I'm just shaking and sometimes even smile and cry at the same time... 😅
I'm pretty sure that's a bit more than being pissed off. I'm pretty sure that's called having a mental breakdown
Being an introvert myself, I understand the feeling. Growing up, there were times I felt so pissed, I just kept it deep down, trying not to blow up. It's natural for me not to express how I feel most of the time. When some people in particular might ask how I feel, I'll try to convince them I'm really all right, even though sometimes I might not be. Now only very few people really piss me off and I can deal with it better.
I have a triple problem with this because I'm introverted, I'm Aspergers, and I'm Aquarian, the most introverted sign. Lovely.
I had those two problems except the last one. It was pretty annoying to deal with. Sometimes I wouldn't catch myself giving off a negative attitude/tone towards that person.
The position of the stars day and month you were born have nothing to do with it. I know very extroverted aquarian.
my mom is an aquarian and is VERY extroverted... unlike me, an introverted capricorn
Same, except Taurus. The result is being way too deadpan all the time... and my voice is always near monotone
I’m a introvert but I’m a Capricorn..... so..
I get upset and pissed off when my mom, or dad, or both mom and dad take a day off work that they try to stay out of my way i want to be relaxed alone to myself, if they don’t stay out of my way, I move to another quiet room place that makes me get pissed off and upset I don’t appreciate it.
i know that feeling all too well
"Ponder how I'm going to kill someone"
Why can I relate to this so much
This is exactly how I get when I feel offended or upset. I'm so glad I found
This channel.
Thank you sooooo much for posting...I
thought something was wrong with me for being different. Now I know, I'm just an introvert.
I know someone who's clueless about socialising, even more than me. He's no introvert but he's oblivious about everything, he also doesn't shut up about how hard his life is despite coming from a rich family and gets paid even though he has no job, a real spoilt brat. I can't even have a conversation with him, he'll call me and be rambling about nothing for 40 minutes while I'm just going "Yup. Mhmm. Yeah." every few seconds.
I find there's more and more people like this in the world, and it'll only get worse. I wish people would just leave me alone.

Fellow introverts, UNITE IN THE COMMENT SECTION!
Hey
Introooooooooooverts .................... assemble
Loved the commentary on this one!
People always think im angry 😂
@Nindya Rahmalia
me o_o
the school why you are always angry
Someone will literally just say to me “are you alright?” When I’m completely fine and I’m like “uh, yeah...”
I guess the robot face makes them think somethings wrong
when my family tried to help me they didn't understand because I'm introvert and they're extrovert
This is so relatable. I thought something was wrong with me. And it's not just when I'm mad, it's almost any emotion. I don't know how to express my feelings.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and emotions with us. While I was listening to it I was wondering why you don't try to express your emotions instead of swallowing them? Are you afraid of other people's reactions? Or are you afraid to get rejected? I mean after all nobody can read your mind and without proper communication nothing will change at all. Good luck for your further journey. 😊
Being an introvert guy is a total f*cked up to live. So I often express senseless rage so that they will leave me alone. I guess I have no right to have an inner peace.😔
Thats the worst part its so hard for others to see your emotions and take the hint. My only tell is shuting down fully or my clenched fist with heavy breathing.
We dont want an outburst but its nearly inevitable.
introvert: *passive aggressive*
i'm in love with an introvert •᷄⌓•᷅
Man, this is me at school. For example, I always have a straight up poker-face and it usually seems to people that I'm fine. But, I get annoyed at people easily, friends even, so I usually will blow up in the middle of class by just crying silently for no reason. Thankfully, for me, this only will happen usually 2-3 times per year. And it annoys me even more because then people realize I'm crying and start asking me why I'm crying or if I'm alright. I find it to be more comfortable when I'm doing work by myself and not talking to others. Reason being, I know that they'll annoy me to the point I'm just wanting to tell them to go away but I know it's rude to so I don't.
Is this a retake on a previous video? I remember seeing the same topic but I highly disagreed with the points in the video. I'm still not sure if this is introverted behaviour per say but this is much better then the last one. I feel like an extroverted person might use the same method in order to not bothered.
I was thinking the same thing, there was a crappy one about the same thing a few months ago. The girl was listing them, and I agreed with like 2 of 11. I only remember it because of how wrong it was
I'm glad I wasn't the only one!!! I even related to it but not because of my introvertness but only because I don't like confrontation (and not in the socially draining way either). It was upsetting to me how so specific they made the introvert personality when it's really not like that for everyone!
When as an introvert I pissed off I need someone close to open up Nd spit all the anger for whatever reason I was pissed off most of the tym just let it go Nd forgive Nd chill
I get it is hard to let people know when your mad but your making it seem that it is their foult comunacation is the better option I know that that is hard I am a true introvert at hard
jip huiswerk I agree, but it can be absolutely frustrating when they want to know the reason why I feel pissed. I don't want to talk about it and that's exactly what I say to them. Yet some still insist that they want to know and help. It's aggravating! "I just want to be alone right now", "... is there something wrong?" "I'll talk about it later" "come on, let's have a ch- "I SAID!! ... Just let me cool off for today, 'Kay?"
I understand their intentions, but that is just how I am.
OMFG THIS IS SO RELATABLE IM LITERALLY SCREAMING BECAUSE FINALLY SOMEONE WHO GETS IT!!!!!!
It makes me so frustrated when people don’t get I’m mad cause like I don’t like yelling at people so I just pretend everything is fine but avoid interaction by barely speaking to them and they never seem to realize that I’m pissed off! And then when I blow up over lil things they think I’m a bitch!!!! Like ugh it’s so annoying and I love seeing I’m not the only one!
Psych2Go ? Nah, more like *Introvert2Go*
That's pretty much true for me. Besides the frustration, they didn't know when I get depressed or stressed out because I rarely show any facial expressions.
In high school, I often got asked if I'm alright when I just mind my own business and wanted to relax after long day.
Uhhh, are you sure this is about introversion? Because I'm an introvert, yet I don't relate to this much. When I'm pissed of, I say "I'm pissed right now, I'll talk to you later, ok? Ok".
Yeah. This is just his own experience as an introvert. It, of course, will vary by person. It's a good thing that you tell people when you're pissed off!
Are you sure about that? A lot of introverts in the comment section seem to fail to relate to his experience, which suggests that maybe this doesn't have as much to do with being an introvert, rather it's more about not being straightforward enough?
Kenny same
Because nobody is 100% introvert. Some people have signs that other don't. The person that did this video had this one, while you didn,t have it. A lot of people can relate to it in the comment, too.
Bastobasto Err, signs of introversiom are just that, signs. The trait discussed in this video is just a trait some introverts share, this doesn't have to do anything with how much introverted one is. Most introverts love books too, but an extremely introverted person could easily dislike or even despise books (for whatever reason :\ ).
When I’m mad at people and they keep pestering me, I get really passive aggressive, and almost always tell people that I’m “fine.”.
There's a lot of introverted videos. Like I'm one myself but damn,
One time I got REALLY pissed because I was doing an activity in pairs with my best friend and she wasn't doing anything but still tried to talk to me and distract me and I was like, I'm doing it all so just shut up, but she didn't seem to notice, then I tried to give her something to do, but she always would tell, I can't do that I'm not intelligent like you, and when I finally got her something to do she started asking me silly questions like, what would happen if I accidentally added an s to a word that wasn't supposed to have it? and I was like, just fucking erase it! and she was really slow so I decided to do it myself and told her to write the tittle of the mental map, but she wanted to do it exactly as the example and it was really hard to make her understand that she didn't have to make it that way, so when I finished I started doing the mental map but I think I was rude and I'm pretty sure she got mad and I apologized a few times but she told me it was was okay and that she wasn't mad but I knew she was. The next day she acted as if nothing had happened and I still don't understand it, I don't know whenever she was acting or she really wasn't mad
I have this one guy that I dated once. Didn't work out so we broke up.
The problem here is after we broke up HE STILL FOLLOWED Me for a while it was just here and then but now this dude follows me EVERYWHERE. HE. WONT. GO. AWAY. I did every tactic a introvert could possibly create. But this dude never takes the hint. He makes terrible jokes and rephrases year old memes. The thing is when the few moments he did actually realise I wanted him tone he'd leave. AND COME BACK IN LIKE 5 MINUTES. Hes always trying to hit on me even though i DONT LIKE THAT. I AM AN INTROVERT. I LIKE BEING TREATED AS A FRIEND NOT SOME SENPAI SHIT. This seriously won't leave me alone it's too the point where my mom is concerned about this stuff. The dude still follows and still is yet to take the hint I don't like him...
I LIKE BEING TREATED AS A FRIEND NOT SOME SENPAI SHIT.
man i laughed way too hard at this
I don't have anger....when I do it immediately turns to sadness
oops
I had an assistant chief that found out the hard way I am an introvert. I had been asking her for help over a 3 year period, with no response. Well, in a department meeting she asked if anyone had questions. I looked at my coworker sitting beside me and told her to stand back and give me some room. I snapped so badly I blacked out. I left the department 9 months later, during which the assistant chief never spoke to me or walked near my office.
These is so relatable. what happens to me is I'm super pissed of is. Hi umm can you carry these for me. ok 😖 1 min later. ok I just need to get to my room and cool off. hey can you give me a hand. hey I want to show you something. 😡Ok then my sister pokes me me aaaaaaaaaaaaaa THATS IT. and then my mom comes in and goes don't me mean to your sister. Before you ask I have a big family anyway hope you have a good day XD
Tanzanight same , I have 6 siblings , 7 including me , and I'm an introvert , it's really hard and annoying . and I'm the middle child so my mom did the really pay attention to me that much , like she didn't care how I feel ,she's always too busy with the other kids
rip
Kent Michael Galang rip in peace lol
Good luck.
Oh, my...the guy was just describing the way I behave and the things I really think when I'm pissed off..
Well shit, I think I pissed off the girl I like...
time to go cry I guess, and then overthink on how I can make things better.
If you think about it, you created a really good opportunity to conect with her.
I mean now you are pretty sure you pissed her off. Go to her, talk to her and let her know. Probably just a few people will know that she is pissed off. If she has the feeling that you understand her when almost no one else does, she will get interested in you cause of that. Try it bro, just be yourself and be honest.
Fluffy Marshmallow Thank you for the comment, I will try that. I will give it a go but I am so worried I might be digging myself a hole.
That Guy Dude, I don't know how old you are. But I am 20years old, from Germany/Austria. I missed quite a few chances when it comes to girls, I kind of regret it. ;)
It might look like a cruel step for you now, but if you look back on it later it's not really a big deal.
I love the accuracy of this. I just showed this to a few cousins and they finally understood 👍🏼
I don't think any of these points were about introversion. Being an introvert /outrovert simply describes how a person loses / gains energy. It doesn't always affect a person's behaviour in such a way this video described.
Thank you! I was a little annoyed at this video for that reason. I can gladly tell someone I want to be left alone while being an introvert.
When I'm pissed off and people just don't get it, I tell them to stop talking to me before I explode.. I'm kinda not able to tell them they piss me off.. I just say I'm pissed in general bc I don't want to hurt them even though they piss me off and I kinda know that's irrational as hell but I'm doing it anyway.
this didn't answer the question.. it just told us about how to know YOU're pissed off
Yep, sometimes some ppl just take their own cases/opinions and assume its a general fact, tho i'm not complaining bout that in this vid
This is what I do when I'm sad and not mad for the most part
remember folks “introversion is a healthy lifestyle. and it’s everyone else’s fault that im not honest with my emotions”
Did you pay attention to the video? The speaker mentioned multiple times that it was his own fault for assuming others would automatically know how he was really feeling. Also, introversion *is* a healthy lifestyle, it's just a little different.
Ang3linahJ
Umm I'm pretty sure that guy was joking based on the way he commented that...
Jdabomb93 Oh. If that's the case, I apologize.
i was. but do keep in mind that there are actually plenty of people who genuinely believe what i jokingly quoted.
Can't believe 18 other people interpreted the first comment wrong too.
ooooh man.Thank you soooooo soooooooo much for making this video.Being an introvert I couldn't agree more with you...
Notification squad! X3
Kitty_ 94971 👉😎👉
Kitty_ 94971 ok
Introvert here.
Instead of lying and saying you're fine you could just be an adult and say ' you upset me and we can talk about it after I've processed it."
You not talking to people that have upset you isn't an introvert problem. That's a YOU problem.
This video just fuels more misconceptions about introverts.
I don't think this person speaking is an introvert. He's just an angry person and excuses himself to be an introvert. More like depressed. He even curses "why the hell"...
helenGD So you're saying I can't be an introvert if I have anger issues and depression? Which book of psychology did that come from? You are aware that people can have multiple issues, diagnosis and even personality traits, right? I'm an introvert who is asocial, but can get antisocial in minutes if not seconds. I've been diagnosed with clinical depression, social and general anxiety. Human beings have layers in case you didn't know.
I have a similar combination of traits and can fully relate to this video. Maybe not all introverts have these tendencies to struggle with, but I do, and so do a quite few other introverts I have got to know over the years. No extrovert I have talked with has admitted to having these feelings or shown this type of behaviour, so I think this person would be an introvert.
Okay. That's something introverts do easily!. :-)
Introverts are saints or something like that? I don't think so, I'm introvert because I feel more relaxed when I'm alone, but that don't limit me to have feelings towards others: admiration, love, sadness, anger, etc. The difference is how we express that feelings, similar to the video.
Oh wow he curses then he aint an introvert my ass, im pretty sure your the person who you acuse him as
i always get pissed at people too but they never give me a time to be alone
That is so me in high school...
I learnt to express frustration too...
It for the best and frankly it made the bond btwn me and whoever strenghten...
I relate to this all. I get so mad at my dad because of the people at my school that it's really starting to become a problem
Very interesting indeed, I will take these into consideration. As always, great video guys. Keep up the great work 😊
Thanks for putting this into words.
you and me both...ever since i met this person at my college, i getting piss off with the things he doing and keep bothering me when i showing signs that i want to be alone for once and i told him so many that i need time alone but he continues to do it. i don't understand. i making obvious sign and he still not getting it. but idk i think something about him that makes a little special but it still gets me angry that there are people who are not aware of signs. I tend to observe a lot of people behavior for many years so i can tell how people are feeling. i can't blame people for that either tho
plus the killing part thing...so me everytime
i am on personal level with this channel. This guy literally speaks my language and tell my life stories. i guess we are all not that different after all.
How I Deal With People: Smile and laugh it off. Then go home and plot revenge. Or go to a trusted fellow introvert and rant together.
this doesn't only go for being pissed, also other negative emotions. One time in school, i was really sad and stressed because i'd just started at this new school and had to strain myself to constantly be super social, wanting them all to like me - and one morning i was so tired and just couldn't go on without letting out a few feelings. i locked myself in the bathroom and cried a little, and it felt a tiny bit better. when i got out, someone had noticed me being gone for a while, and asked if i was okay. the one-word response also goes for this, i believe. for introverts, or at least me, it would be super obvious that if anyone just said "I'm fine", they wouldn't be fine at all. only my two closest friends in this new class knew i wasn't fine when i said i was, and they didn't even talk to me because they knew i didn't need that kind of cheering up. they just walked around with me outside all recess, kicking rocks, and even though kicking rocks seems like a really boring thing to do, it was really nice bonding time and i now know that i've been really lucky with finding these people that just understand me.
