They probably wont meet as many a$$holes though which is a good thing.

Yes.

I'm an introvert. Other people annoy me greatly and there is nothing I enjoy more than pursuing my hobbies alone.

TBH, everyone else can f*ck off.

The above is not really true. I think you are describing people on the spectrum.

I'm an introvert and have no problems with any of this. I prefer to schedule things as much as possible and can't stand the flakey stuff. Do it or don't!

Reasons i don't get to know people are either 1 of 2, their assholes or I've never met them.

Life’s only funner being an extro if your naturally that way inclined I’d imagine..Other wise it would be tedious and not very enjoyable

I'm an introvert. None of the above is an issue for me.

Tbf I'd be happier at home on the couch than out in a mad social situation. That still does't stop me going on dates or having fluent chats with people.

Not all of us! Well, I am, but I'm not all of us.

I used to be an extrovert, and due to humanity in general I've turned into an introvert and I'm much happier in my life. People suck, and you don't need a large amount of "friends" or social activities to enjoy life. It's a myth which is constantly spouted by those who think they know how everyone else should feel.

As long as you're happy, that's all that matters.

It can be painfully lonely, but I am who I am

02-10-2020 09:23PM

Yeah, I used to be reasonably social until my social circle was kind of invaded by the bad kind of extroverts.. I've somewhat receded from society..

Spanish Eyes · 02-10-2020 09:24PM

Introverts like myself cope far better with lockdowns. But extros may find it difficult.

A hell of a lot of people who post on discussion boards are loners and enjoy the interraction without having to physically do it.

We are all diiferent, but I am happy.

Isn't the whole point of an introvert meaning you make your own fun......

At the beginning of my introversion, I used to think the same. But if I think back enough, even surrounded by "friends" and being social, I was even more painfully lonely, especially at the end of the night when everyone went home with their significant others and I went home to a bad idea bottle of rum (which seemed the best idea at the time... ugh).

I only need my siblings and my Wife and two daughters in my life to be happy.
I can honestly say I wouldn't miss anyone else in this world if I never saw them or spoke to them again.
Also, hand on heart the so called "Lockdown" this year hardly affected me at all.
I just don't "do" other people
Extreme introvert here and enjoy being one.
My idea of Hell is large gatherings of people and have to make small talk and keep up conversations about meaningless sh!t that I have no interest in.
Weddings are especially trying for me.
Lighthouse keeper my dream job ha ha

I could have written this post about myself. Glad I am not alone. I am quite sociable and have a good sense of humour, but in small doses please!

Don't get me wrong I enjoy gatherings, but not for hours and hours and hours of shyte talk as you say. We do have to play the game now and then, but it is a lot easier now with lockdown. Sorry all you extros!

Best decision I ever made I reckon. Mind, I replaced it with weed, but that works far better for me. At least I can still adult when needed.

I know what you mean about playing the game yes,there are times when being sociable is unavoidable,but I am always relieved when it over.As you said Covid19 has made it "easier"
Do I see myself as "odd" or "strange"? Frankly no.
I sometimes think other people doing all the same things as each other are the odd and strange ones.
Doing something because it's expected of them.

I'm an introvert and it's not true that one doesn't get to know people well. In fact, I'd say the small number of people I've gotten to know, I got to know them extremely well.

Don't like mixing with strangers, like at a house party, but if I already know people it's less of an issue.

Definitely not the life and soul of a party, though.
