EADD: Are You an Introvert or an Extrovert?

Being an introvert isn't the same as being meek and no confidence.

I am well aware.

I have no desire to be the centre of attention. Even at my own birthday party my speech was mostly apologising to my mother for ruining her vagina.

Paradoxical lines (not a Blondie LP). First line might come as a surprise to some BL'ers. Shut up already anyway. You know I love you.

I can find it completely exhausting being in the company of people who never stop talking, and dont take any notice of any hints that what they are talking about is of no interest to me. My Dad can be particularly bad for this. After ten minutes i sometimes have to leave my room with my head in my hands. Its just so draining for some reason i dont comprehend. He still doesnt get the hint. And was mortally offended when i once asked him if he could "shut up for a little while" so i could hear the sound of my own thoughts, and once when i just left him to it when he was rabitting on with himself, i honestly didnt think he'd notice if Id gone or not. It must have taken some time for him to notice judging by the reception i got when i returned. :\

We are getting on quite a lot better now, ive found that if i talk more he doesnt feel the need to constantly fill the silence. Im not all deep and meaningful or anything like that but im generally on the quiet side and like to think that i only speak if ive got something half interesting or amusing or informative to say. My Mother and step dad do not undertsand the introvert as a personality type, they just dont get it why someone wants to be alone for 30 minutes or so every now and then, and think im extremely weird because of this and can get offended. It can be exhausting being round people 24x7.

You're a bit more extreme than me, I think. I'm getting better at it as I get older.

If I'm in a room with one person, I'm OK sitting speaking to them. As soon as another person joins in, I'm happy to just sit there listening. Or fiddling with my phone, or reading the instructions on a packet of crisps. ;)
 
I hate being the centre of attention n speaking of birthdays I always feel awkwards when people say 'Happy Birthday' because I'm not used to, nor do I like the attention. It always makes me feel really awkward. At least when it's Christmas I can say 'Happy Christmas' back n the focus isn't all on me.

It's good to know though isn't it, if you ever have the chance to meet up - that saying nothing is COOL. Non verbal's where its at :D
 
Nice to see you back stonehappyMonday

I think I'm an extrovert but also quite shy at times. Can be a misanthrope but often enjoy drinking with strangers

I hate being around lots of people or in a group - it drains my energy levels immensely. I even only had one friend at a time growing up because I couldn't handle more than one person. I would find it extremely nerve racking.

I often have to be alone to recharge my energy levels n my family don't undrstand it but at the same time I yearn for company hence the Internet. Much better being on my own, no having to put an act on, no feeling awkward.

I hate it when someone constantly talks. Especially when I'm trying to think or have space.

My best mate is the biggest extrovert i know, he is also a shit judge of character and will allow people into his life that will fuck him over. Introverts will never allow that, the world is full of cunts and we acknowledge this and don't hang around with cunts; as that would be the biggest waste of energy ever.

If your best mate wasn't an extrovert, you'd spend all night in the pub scraping the labels off beer bottles, saying nothing to each other. We all need them in our lives, if only to deflect attention from ourselves while we scrape the labels off beer bottles and think about other things. :D
 
Still the worst judge of character ever, i think its more a bi polar irrational thinking tbh. I always say he has the mind of a woman and not that of a man. Another good mate of mine is a introvert and the most solitary person i know, he lives in the back of a van. You could only do that if you smoke weed
 
I am quietly relishing the time to myself for the next few days. Kate will currently be being inundated with a bunch of extroverted and highly strung half-Irish-catholic extroverts, and by the time she gets home all she'll want do is lie in a darkened room for three days. At which point my introvert batteries will be fully charged and I'll want to hear all her news and she'll tell me to shut the fuck up.

I can see into the future. :D

True dat!! My best mates are all the type that never fuckin shut up. Therefore, every bottle of Newcastle Brown I've had over the last 30 odd years has ended up scraped clean of labels, and every beer mat on the table ends up as a pile of bits in the ashtray (yes. It IS that long since I went to the pub.. :(
 
Only time i'm an extrovert is on MDMA , if i smoke weed on mdma it switches me back to an introvert.

Aye, and politely placing the bits of label or beer mat into ashtrays or glasses somehow annoys the extroverted bar people and glass collectors. Cannae fucking win. :D

Or cocaine. I've sometimes found myself finally and shamefully shutting up in realisation that I've out-extroverted everyone in the room for a few hours. Cannae fucking win again. :D
 
I will only talk on the phone with a select few n sometimes not even my family so if you're one who's spoke to me on the phone you're bloody well honoured lol. Brimz n Raasy are two of the BLers I've ever spoken to on the phone multiple times...... I'm surprised they weren't bored to sleep LOL....
