10 Myths about Introverts Debunked
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2024
- Introversion is a frequently misunderstood personality trait. Carl Jung coined the terms "introverted" and "extroverted" to describe someone who is either more outward or inwardly focused. In today's world, people still don't know what an introvert is. They think introversion is just some made up excuse for someone who doesn't like to talk, is shy or lack social skills. But far from that, an introvert is simply someone who recharges by spending time alone. In this video, we cover 10 myths that people have about introversion. The video is 6 minutes long, but hopefully you relate! Help us share this video if you agree with these signs about introverts!

No worries! thanks for watching and the support! :)
Psych2Go can you do about delusional? i really wanna know more about this thank u 😃💕
Sometimes I hide from people I know just to avoid having conversations. Am I the only one that does this?
It isn't I, a random RUclips commenter!
Me too.
For six years after my high school graduation, I avoided going to local shops just to avoid those awkward moments when you see somebody you use to know and you're ( most of the times ) forced to make small talk with them. Those conversations never went well, with the exception of a few that did. Ultimately, I felt it wasn't worth it so, I went full hermit mode for a while and relied on Amazon for my shopping.
Freee27 you are not alone. This is me too
hey we're same
same bro
I'm just happy this comment section isn't filled with hate on introverts, like most.
SAME A HHH
Timo Fluit we're happy too! Introverts make for some wonderful people!
I've never seen hateful comments in these types of videos. Sure there's some videos where people comment how they are annoyed that others are saying their introverts when they're not but otherwise I haven't seen any before
Actually what you said is opposite there is a whole load of introverts here
Thank you! Finally, someone understands!
#10 really hurts me...I've been told many times by even my own family, especially my father, that introversion is wrong and I should "learn to be an extrovert"...
I'm the kind of introvert that has a small circle of friends that I like to hang out with occasionally, but for most of my time I'm alone in my room, studying, reading and watching my favorite shows...
The worst part about being an introverted student though, is having to work in groups and being told that not raising your hand in class a lot will mean you'll have a lower grade. I work best alone and I really wish that was accepted in our education system...
InternetHobo its better dont say to anyone that you are introverted, because there are a lot of wrong ideas and not all people know listen
InternetHobo Thar sounds like my mom
InternetHobo I'm like you, a lone wolf that likes to just do whatever I want, though maybe to a lesser extent on your side. Though about the working thing, I always work alone but I like getting into groups to socialize which is pretty much what I do in math. Part of the reason I'm failing miserably in that class.
InternetHobo That must suck, but for the sake of keeping everything else together, you’ll need to be more out spoken. It’s ok to raise your hand in class and get an answer wrong and it’s ok to speak to people. It just looks like you need to practice on your social skills a little. Just throw yourself way out of your comfort zone and see where that leads you once and awhile.
InternetHobo I feel your pain. I haven't been told by my family but my friends are always getting pissed off saying "I don't talk too much" or "I always make excuses so I don't have to hang out with them." 😔
When I was a kid I was always told I was too quiet and didn't smile enough smh, let people be who they are inside.
LISA TAYLOR I was told the same thing a lot up until highschool.
mikell williams yeah is like nobody cares
me too
Same
Same
Introvert squad where u at!
VorteXable 7 here! Lol

Too many people try to change me into an extrovert. Especially my father.
ACrustacean thats not a big deal. My mother wants to make me self efficient and down to earth, not a singer and dreamer. Its like you force a cat to become a dog. Its impossible
Aziza Alkan so it means you wanna be a singer?
ACrustacean saamee
Aziza Alkan ikr same here
Not many people want to change me, but my teacher insisted the introverts in our class to become extroverted.
I felt offended.
I’m an introvert and I would never do public speaking. Today in school someone made a really good animation and I foolishly said quietly that nobody has ever clapped for me and someone heard me. And he screamed, (Name) HAS NEVER BEEN CLAPPED AT BEFORE. Everyone in class clapped for me...
AACme Me too, I would have surely burried my head into my backpack in your situation lol
AACme thats such a nice gesture yet for me personally being an introvert i would of felt ashamed having ppl know that with the awkward "having to smile and/or laugh" as if i was some how pleased by that lol then again thats just me
Once I saidm"I have a piece of paper" and my friend just shouted out "HE HAS A PIECE OF PAPER" and started clapping, everyone else started clapping aswell. Not my proudest French lesson.
AACme I Love Speaking In Public, But I Read Every Reaction, And It Haunts Me Afterwards.
This comment triggered so much anxiety lol I couldn't imagine being in that situation
I'm introvert but i'm shy too. Sometimes I feel so depressed because I don't talk too much and people hates that 😢
Diego Rodríguez
ikr it feels so akward in a conversation
Diego Rodríguez im not shy but i hate talking to ppl idk why though its just not in me to start a conversation yet if someone sparks a conversation i feel the need to answer as briefly as possible lol i guess its just pure altruism as a courtesy
Pretend you don’t exist
Diego Rodríguez the best thing you can do its find someone who understands you, someone different, you need to feel good with him or her, if you dont find good people, its better be alone, dont feel stressed if you dont find someone to be good friends. Try to talk with other people like you.
And when I try & start to talk I'll hate myself after that :')
#10 hits home for me. I have several teachers who tries to make me work with others. Sometimes I'll do it, most times it makes me really uncomfortable. They also make me do peer mediation which I don't want to do and they tell me things like "you have to break out of your shell" or "with enough time, you can become sociable." I don't see any problem with mine or others introversion. You can't force a person to become more "socially acceptable." Too bad my teachers are too backwards thinking.
Talih in the real world you'll have to work with people you barely know, so you might as well start now
James yeah but it's a nightmare to socialize when you hit puberty as an introvert.
ACrustacean That’s more on the shyness side, but being an introvert certainly doesn’t help
ACrustacean Thats just plain social anxiety, not introversion
James Buckley not for every job your don't and if she has social anxiety your basicly saying "I know you could have a panic attack but go through with it anyway becase I said so."
I am an introvert.
I really love this channel because it helps to understand myself a bit better. Thank you guys. 😀
Thank you both for you support!
❤️
I very much recommend the book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain!
The sad thing is as a salesman i rocked but i was brutally honest “ sign up now so you don’t have 5 more jerks waste your time trying to pitch the same speech. “
I became top salesman that month
You’re a gangster
I’m the same way! Lol
••••Sound• •-••L34ked•-• A
No regerts
I'm using that
"What's the first thing you think of when you hear the word introvert?"
Me- "Me!!!" 😂😂
ME!!!
me
Me,Walker Sis
That I am regarded as someone that is off in some way, or even potentially dangerous. THAT is what I hear behind some people's words.
I feel like I should speak up to my teacher, i'm becoming an extrovert now because of the students she makes me sit with, but their bad Influence, it's time that we stand up.
Yes! I agree with all of these! I don't like when extroverts try to fix you though...it makes me feel hopeless when they can't accept me for who I am though
Same my dude
Oof same
It's especially difficult when the majority of people are extroverts.
"Fix."
*smh.* this world is messed up.
Why cant extroverts and everyone just see us as p e o p l e ? We dont need "fixing..."
I know how it feels. At school I feel that many people dont understand my silence and hesitance to speak to them but yea, it hurts badly
I’m not really a big fan of those who pressure me to become an extrovert.
I’m looking at you, dad
Lol same
Same
Straight up, my dad tried to tell me, "I'm an introvert too!" Even though he loved to go to parties, and talk about the most pointless things. Meanwhile, I'd get dragged along with the rest of my extroverted family to said party, if I didn't have a viable excuse, to which I would get yelled at for standing/sitting by myself and not interacting with people. Being the only introvert in the family SUCKS!!!
Those who try that alienate me, because I have no interest in pretending to be what I am not.
I'm looking at my advisor, especially that she made me sit with someone who's toxic.
I'm an introvert and i don't like to go out cause of the noises so i stay at home and wear my headphones to not hear the noises outside my house.
Anime Watcher but you hear noises through headphones hehehe
Anime Watcher hahahaha same here i prefer going to other less crowded festival,event and places that are less noisy
That’s why I have ear plug on when outside.
Shut 12 year old boy
I know how u feel
I've gotten to the point when I do go out even to somewhere where there aren't a lot of people i still wear my earbud b/c it keeps some of the sound out and people i don't want to talk to tend to not even try
#1 and #2 REALLY hits home bc of school and work. Especially the not talking thing. I LOVE to ramble! I just don't like small conversations and conversations about nothing and like you said gossiping. Which at work they do a lot and it annoys me!
AshDani
I only like gossip when you’re like teasing a friend about who they like or like little secrets that you and your close group of friends share
Idk just secrets that are shared with people just makes me feel closer to them so I guess it’s comforting
But yes gossip about other people is really annoying and incredibly rude
This is so true!
I want people to realize that I'm an introvert and not an extrovert.
They don't realise how I do things differently
1. I only talk to a handful of people, but it's meaningful.
2. I still deal with shyness, but I think it's getting better.
3. I hardly go out, but I'd like to try new places.
4. It's not that I don't like people. I feel more myself with certain people.
5. Being a leader means taking all problems into thought. Listening should be as important as speaking one's mind. For some reason, I was seen as a bit of a leader. Maybe I can still be one.
6. Not much of a social networker.
7. I've been told I bring a special enthusiasm to certain places. I can enjoy myself and have a fun time.
8. Not much of a public speaker, either, but performing with others I can do no problem.
9. Not looking to sell anything so this doesn't apply.
10. I might be an ambivert after all. Talking, thinking, creativity, these are just a few reasons I came to realize this.
Did you overcome your shyness? If yes, how did you manage to do it? Thanks. :)
This is so true. Thank you so much for this video. We appreciate it a lot!
Thanks for watching!
The last one hit me hard. I am very lucky with my friends, but society itself does this all the time. Many popular movies, books, songs, and other things are about "fixing" or "helping" someone who is an introvert. Some even portray us as a new and mysterious character in a game to be acquired. More people need to see this content, because it is absolutely true.
Sorry for commentin on an old comment but this is so true..the 'portrayed as mysterious' bit. Perhaps this is why my former co worker thought I was being 'mysterious' and was like 'ah come drink with us,dont act so prude' .they thought I have some dirty secrets and I pretend to be quiet.🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🫤.I said flat to their face that I go home and watch netflix 🤷🏻♀️ Thats my ' dirty secret'. 🤷🏻♀️ No sleepin out of wedlock or porn stash.And yeah sure,if they wanted to believe so, they could,I couldnt care less.just leave me alone 🤷🏻♀️.Drinkin all night and pissin by the road is their thing,sure,no problem.I am happy with my ' borin/prude' life.What so hard to understand about that.Anyway those were younger days,I was stupid,I should have raised a bullying incident with HR.Now I dont even indulge such nonsense.co workers need to work together when needed and thats all.This 'u need to attend corporate parties to get drunk till u puke culture' needs to go.
The last myth about 'fixing an introvert' touched me to the core.
Its the same as racism.
These myths are totally Biased and Stereotyped
However I would indeed be a terrible salesperson
Same though-
Some people are better then others
oriana garrido i would never be able to approach a random stranger coz im shy too
As a salesperson, I'd probably either mentally shut down in front of a client or subtly denounce capitalism as I present the product. Then get kicked out.
Just take what applys💝
My friends were always trying to make me change because I was an introvert and due to that we drifted apart only a few liked me for who I was which made me happy
The last one was actually heartbreaking, that's like saying our personalitys are broken
I don’t like going out anywhere because I’m always afraid seeing someone I know. I cant even get out the car without looking around like a maniac and thinking “someone I know is ought to be here.” I get very paranoid. And once I’m inside the store there I go again. I tend to go in corners and hide , or go where there isn’t really many people. I always bring my phone so I have a distraction. I usually message one of my friends for help. I explain my social anxiety and tell them to comfort me. It gets me irritated sometimes when they say “just go shop. it’s not that hard.” Yes it is, in fact. Anyways. I just thought I should share my little story. If your like me , know that your not alone. And don’t let people judge you. It’ll be okay.
I knew it. "Quality is more important than quantity" 2:33
"im an introvert and [insert relatable comment]"
Im an asshole lol 😏
Fun, hell
Boredom: rather favorable
I'm on mAh bed
I don’t respond to text messages because I don’t know how to keep the conversation going
And being alone doesn't mean you're lonely.
One of my marketing professors told me that I’m too introverted to sell my ideas. On the next day I won a pitch presentation.
Don’t listen to people who tell you you can’t do something.
& as someone who Studies Leadership: a lot of new leadership theories are based on qualities many introverts have naturally.
MAjaLeahHB this is awesome to hear! Introverts have many good leadership qualities, and hopefully more and more introverts will be able to see this potential. Thanks for sharing! Congrats on the pitch presentation too!
Psych2Go thank you^^
"Introverts don't know how to have fun"
*WHO THE HELL*
Wheres your avatar from?
I am an Introvert and I hate to talk in public! 😲
Meli Gleriano i hate presentation
Same, I hate talking in front of my class too, we're 25 in the class (27 including me and my teacher) I start shivering, and I talk low and quickly just to get over it, though I have to do it again, but it might be anxiety more than introverted side effects. But still
@@MatchaSeth Same tho we're 26 (28 with me and my teacher)
Whenever i am presenting a project i shake way too much that makes earthquakes look like a freaking joke😂
I don’t like standing up front and center! It makes me feel like they’re all judging just by looking at me! I get nervous and I tend to mess up a few times!
I’m an introvert but I’m ok with small talk. I used to hate it, but then I changed the way I thought. I used to be extremely shy but I learned to open up more in high school. Now, I feel like I maybe an ambivert but lean I towards introvert.
I always hate when someone says “why are you so quiet?” Then my friend say’s “in 1st grade he never talked and was so shy”
I actually don't like to talk, i only speak when it's necessary
The last point made my heart heavy because for a long time I've been told I'm selfish for not being social and I have problems not being outside more often. I wasn't sad, but happy because it is good to hear that I'm not alone with being an intorvert. I do go outside and I do enjoy company, but like how the video explained, I like it in small doses and with people that I truly enjoy their company with. Its really nice to have a video like this explain what an introvert's life is like because for awhile I had a hard time explaining it to people.
my dad use to tell me when i was a kid that something was wrong with me cuz i wasn't like my brother or an average kid, someone who's social and outgoing and likes people, and would even insult me by calling me anti-social and making me feel bad. thats not true and now i know the reasons why. I'm just an introvert! thanks for your video. helps me out a lot to know that nothing is wrong with me.
First? Maybe. Anyways, I agree with this, people have their ways of thoughts when it comes to Introverts. People judge introverts without really knowing what it is. I hope people can begin to understand that Introverts are as good as Extroverts.
This comment fills you with DETERMINATION
Myth number 10 truly is the most insulting misconception of them all
Mom:introverts are bad you know that?
Mom:you need to be an extrovert
Me: ok*I murmur* (thinks in head :so yo want me to become a totally different person? Nah)
SquishyJelly agreed!
You don't say
Me: only if you promise to get me a new car. *secretly takes acting classes*
I'm a shy, smart, introverted student that always scolded by my mother for not hanging out with a lot of people
I had somebody flat out say once that I was a bad friend because I never hung out. Every time he asked me to hang out with him or others, I'd ask what the plan was, but there was no plan. The idea was just to hang out and see what happens, and I could never make him understand how incredibly difficult it is for me to do something with no plan.
It became another friendship I had to walk away from because I got tired of being made to feel defective because I'm not what others think I should be. One of many.
I’m a introvert and I agree with this video
Ditto
I didn't even know that the. Last myth was even said like how can an introvert become and extrovert wow Im shooketh
Oh my god, this is so true, I am an introvert and all of this is pretty accurate.
Edit: 10 really angers me!
finally someone gets it
:D
THANK YOU FOR THIS, I LOVE THESE VIDEOS CUZ I CAN FINALLY RELATE
MiaJestic that's great to hear! 👍 we're happy you can relate!
All of these are so true my dad doesn't understand that I can only handle so much activities with people and is always trying to force out of the house to "hang out" and "make some new friends" as a social introvert that really hurts like really really hurts. He also tries to small talk me or get me to open up but he doesn't understand that I don't openly express my self.
Jamez The Assassin just show him this video
Yes, getting over the public speaking was really hard. Once I learned how to do it, it was a new skill. Never mind the way I went home and melted-down afterward.
As an introvert, I really appreciated this video. Thank you.
David Benson glad to hear this! Thank you for watching 😊
Psych2Go you're welcome :) I always enjoy your videos
A little while ago I saw something about a stand-up comedian who's an introvert. She even acknowledged that you'd think being a comedian would be the last things she'd be, but she liked having a very small audience to open up to. I don't remember her name or anything it was just something that was on TV as I was passing by, I rarely watch TV myself.
I love this channel. Hits the nail on the head for so many things, also helps me look at things from a different point of view. This is probably the only channel that I like to get notified of new videos from, because I watch almost all the videos.
Aww, thank you for your support! We do our best.
Glad to know that I’m not the only one with parents who try to change me to become an extrovert.
I love these introvert videos you do on your channel. They make me feel better about myself. 😊❤️
"Introverts don't hate the human race."
Some do, such as myself.
Really enjoy this channel, i can relate to so many things, it’s very calming :)
Just because I don't like telling the whole world how I'm feeling today doesn't mean I'm broken. It makes me sad to think the world see's me as someone that needs to be fixed.
I am an introvert and man, it's hard because i'm also incredibly shy and have social anxiety disorder. I go and observe people so that, if they were to ever approach me, i'd know if a stupid conversation is inbound (so that I can avoid it). That public speaking myth is just *wow* because i'd probably be good at that and/or being a leader if I wasn't so shy. It's also sad to know people think that you can just *fix* introversion. I have been a sufferer of that from some teachers in the past or from my counselor, who herself told me, "You have to break out of your shell and be more communicable", and if I remember she wanted me to make friends and try to talk to one of my crushes after that. All your other videos on introverts have taught me much more about myself. Thanks!
Keep up the great work. I love these introvert videos as they let people understand me! Thank you so much! :)
IntrovertsGraphics thank you for watching! We love creating a community that's very introvert friendly :)
I am an introvert and i really like to talk, my only problem is that i repeat 3 times what im goint to say and overthink it over and over again just i case but at the end i never get out a word 😅
That last one almost made me cry. I'm very much an introvert, and everyone keeps telling at me to be more social. Whenever I'm forced into a social environment, I feel incredibly uncomfortable and anxious. On the off chance I want to go to a party or gathering, I will. Force me into it to "break me out of my shell" as some put it, and I will say that I'm introverted, not shy. I just wish people would understand and accept me for who I am. I like being an introvert. I have some really good introverted friends, and we share the struggle. Thanks for this video, this needs to be common knowledge.
I strongly agree to all your videos about introverts. And there I thought I was different to all my friends... but no I'm just an introvert.
is it okay for introverts active on social media? we don't talk too much in real life but we do on social media
is sana gay of course
introverts fucking love social media because you can literally think before you speak, while irl, people look at you weird if you think for 5 seconds before you reply
yeah, i mean, im a completely different person online
i .candy ok
Yeah I like talking on here
I'm an introvert too and sometimes it makes me so depressed.
Being and introvert is amazing! You must accept yourself for who you are!
Don't be depressed, I'm an introvert too and i am happy with myself.
Btw I'm a Twice fan too.
Don't be Depressed,Try things you wouldn't normally like! Art,Singing, Etc......It's always good to ask other how they feel bc a conversation with someone can brighten your day or introduce you to something great💝
I'm basically happy with myself but the extroverts around me, make me feel so depressed😢😢
As an introvert myself I can certainly agree we aren’t all shy, I also agree about the no time for gossip thing too I never understood what’s so great about gossip
As an introvert, I like public speaking(presentation), I like getting to show my work, seeing my effort appreciated. It’s something I look forward to but still get really anxious about.
People: Hey don't be shy
Me: I'm not shy I'm an introvert
the uncomfortable thing is when you and family gathering then you realise that you are the only introvert there and they press you to be like them. It's happened to me and thats make me feel sad.. no one understand.
#10 hits pretty close to home. In a family of 7, I'm the only introverted person of the bunch, and they all try to "fix me" by pushing a bunch of activities I don't want to do onto me.
2 years of practicing to be an extrovert and it still hasn’t worked lol. I pushed myself out of my comfort zone MANY times and even though I can confirm that I’m still an introvert, I must say that I got better at small talk and holding a conversation.
I'm an introvert, but I feel free when I'm speaking in public expressing my point of view.
My family members are like: "you need to become more social, this is not natural for your age (14)". And if you ask me if I have told them I'm an introvert and what an introvert means them yes, I have. BUT THEY DON'T WANT TO FREAKING UNDERSTAND. Sometimes my mother gets sad because I am doing what I like... Adults nowadays think they have the knowledge to tell if this is good for me or not, they don't know shit(srry for bad language :v). They just don't want to accept that I know some stuff beter than them because I am a kid and I "don't have the experience they have". I don't give a shit how much experience you have, what matters is what you have learned from that, no matter how much you have had of it.
I'm an introvert and the last one resonates with my current situation where my brother thinks I can become Extroverted. It hurts every time he tries, but he's only making things more worse than they already are.
The shy myth is the one that really grinds my gears. Too often you hear people inaccurately using the term “introverted” as a synonym for shy. Or conversely “extroverted” for outgoing.
Great video this was really well made! I couldn’t believe some facts and how people think about introverts. If they only knew..
all your videos are very informative yeet i love it
So happy to know theres people who appreciate the way we are
Number 10 was exactly what I needed to hear💙 it made my heart melt.☺ Living as an introvert in an extroverted family, and school enviroment is definitely overwhelming. Especially when people try changing me or telling me the way I am isnt what makes successful character. Number 10 was unexpected, but lovely nevertheless. Left me in tears💜💙
Never thought that simply wanting to be alone is a bad or evil thing, I tell yah people get mad over the smallest things in existence.
I'm introvert and I know the feeling of being in a classroom where everyone is so god damn loud most of the time my classmates say the dumbest things or either make communications that make no sense, out of context or it goes on for so long. I tell yah it's a nightmare going to school every single day and this same stuff happening every day it was grading, insulting and utterly annoying!
Yes ik how it feels
My whole life I used to lie to myself that I’m an extrovert just because I like company. It’s honestly kind of ridiculous now that I look back and realize that I was very introverted despite trying desperately to not be.
This is so true! When people think about inviting me over they think that I don't know what fun is so they think that I'll just be a mood kill so they don't invite me. Also when I was younger I could decently give a speech, a year ago it was very very hard and now I'm kind of good at it, I get terrified but I can slightly push myself to do it. I've also been told that I should be more outgoing and not so quiet all the time(basically be a extrovert) but that is not my favourite thing whatsoever. I always hate when people try to force me to become something else because they think that I'm 'broken' when I'm not, I wish people, well people I know, would treat introverts better than what they currently do. Because thanks to those people I don't really like to leave my room nor my house, only to go to my boyfriends house because he doesn't judge the way I am and he accepts me and it makes me feel excepted and that's the main place I go.
I actually didn't know before that I am introvert and I tried forcing myself "having fun" by hanging out with ohters. Thank you for educationing me for this! Now your videos for introverts are my favorite. 🤗
i like animals more than most ppl
Me 2 (insert me 3)
Me 3, I guess it's easier for them to accept the way you are because they just want to be loved but more importantly fed.
Same
This video is 10/10!!
Mish thank you! 😊
Thank you for#10. Most of my life I have wondered what was wrong with me. Even though I have never wanted to be "average or normal", there comes a time when one can be tired of being different.
So true! I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for almost 2 years and yesterday when I was sharing with him that I am an introvert and an HSP, he immediately replied,"you aren't an introvert since you talk a lot" I seriously felt in that moment that we came AGES back in our relationship!
Yesssss!! I relate to all!
I took a personality test and I'm 99% an introvert.
Sophie Spark was it 16 personalities?
yes
Sophie Spark i took it yesterday for my ap psych class and i got 99% introvert too😂😂
Ohh, 16 personalities. I got creepily accurate result:
*Welcome to your personal hell*
Fucking kill me (INTP-A)
Ability to deal with people; this determines how hard your life is: 0% extraverted, everything is now twice as hard.
Ability not to overthink everything; this determines how many times per day you think about suicide: 5% observant, constant existencial crisis.
Ability to relate to other people; this determines if you can relate to others: 0% feeling, unable to form relationships.
Ability to have any motivation; this determines your approach to work: 2% judging, will never accomplish anything.
96% introvert.
Thanks for making these videos!
Since you started I don't feel so alone anymore!
I totally agree and i am an introvert. I really had a tough time trying to cope with people trying to fix me a few years back like the last myth. Nowadays i don't get too bothered with people who are bothered by me being an introvert.
#10 makes me mad. I can't just change my entire psychology just because someone wants me to, I can pretend and act like I am an extrovert, but I will ALWAYS be an introvert. It's especially damaging to my fellow Anxious Introverts. It's very difficult to act extroverted when you are the kind of person who will agonize over every mistake you made in the last thirty conversations for the next week.
#10 is wrong, yes, but something similar is possible. With practice and work and an open mind, I was able to change my demeanor and social habits enough to seem extroverted in certain situations (I work essentially as a receptionist. I have to deal with hundreds of people a day, but even Anxious Introverts can become proficient at this. Practice makes perfect.
It took a long while, but I have formed habitual phrases and responses that allow me to seem very welcoming and friendly, as well as confident and knowledgeable all while hardly engaging my mind, so the drain is very low. Essentially I've automated the process of talking to people in that specific situation. I still agonize over it when I make social mistakes, but for 95% of my conversations I act like an NPC from a video game, I use the same dialogue by habit, and can help people without any real thought going into the conversation itself, and with very few mistakes. The other 5% is still somewhat draining when the conversation reaches a point when someone needs to know something unusual or needs very specific directions or something that will make me really engage with the conversation, but in these cases I enjoy it, as I am engaged and I'm not drained from the 19 conversations prior.
So true
One of the reasons i don't talk with others---- i dont want to bother anyone. Anyway that is not a main reason for sure, but who else with me?
I am by no means an introvert, but understanding them better has been really beneficial, thanks. Its nice to see that introverts are still huge contributors to society, are brave and have done some amazing things, thanks!
GetPsyched of course! Introverts sure make for some wonderful people! 😊 thanks so much for watching!
Oh man, this is really true, especially #10. SO many people force me to socialize more! It's so accurate that it hurts!
I am your typical introvert, I hate talking, hate people, hate going out, hate public speaking, hate networking, hate leading people, can’t have fun, hate being introverted.
#1 End the video there. You just blew the mind of everyone who thinks that
Oh my gawd. My mother just doesn't understand the 10th myth. Always pressuring me to "come out of my shell". I hate it, and it makes me feel awful.
All of these are such true things!! Man it really feels good to be understood, thanks for existing and doing this kind of videos ❤
Fexref of course! Being an introvert isn't always easy, so we're glad we could help other introverts :)
I’m an introvert. And nice video
This makes me happy 🖤
Alexandria Rose we're happy to hear it ♡
I actually think of being introverted as an advantage because you don't rely on socializing a lot with others, just because you don't need it as much as extroverts do. But you still can socialize just like them if you really wanted to.
#10 is so true. The teachers of my little sister says that everytime, is sad watching her cry when he comes to school
