U havent embraced ur introvertness?

It is now cool to sit at a corner in weddings and read a book.

All I can think of is all that I am missing that extroverts enjoy without any effort. Not fair! :(

Bigthink, hmm! By the look of it, it seems to be an interesting channel. Will have a look at it shortly. Thanks in advance, A1. :up:


Tush, if extroversion could have been bought I would be the first to buy it, no matter the cost, that's if I could afford it.

All the awkwardness, the anti-social attitudes, anxiety & all those potentially great relationships lost, or either not started due to introversion. Don't even get me started! :cry:

No prob. The channel generally totes anti-religion pro-science rhetoric, but when it comes down to it, they've got tons of info worth listening to.

Being antisocial is different from being an introvert.

That is what i am talking about.The sooner u realize and accept who u r,the better.Once u establish that,u might start to enjoy life,the way u should.

Often someone thinks they're an introvert, but are dealing with issues submerging their actual personality.

A1, I see. Well, most of the popular channels seem to be anti-religion somehow & will filter & watch the interesting ones.


Tush, by anti-social I mean not very social. In other words, being introvert results in not being so social, no?

PS: It aint easy to accept being shaxaari & introvert at the same time dee. :lol:

A1, how do you mean? Aren't personality & introversion related somehow? I mean, isn't introversion itself some kind of a personality disorder?

It is not a disorder.Nothing is wrong with it. :lol:

Antisocial people are typically those who make extra effort to avoid human contact.Introverts do better and think better when alone with themselves. They do social and might not issue talking to others and socializing but are very likely to leave the earliest.

So by that definition they fall in the same category (in the shyness department) but one is more extreme than the other marka sow maaha?

Well, mine might be seasonal then. There are times I like to avoid all kinda human contact but generally I am likely to be an introvert, well apart from the internet. :lol:

Yeah, I guess it comes with being on the internet and all. Seems like religion and the net don't mix well.

Introversion isn't a personality disorder at all, but is a supposed personality type. What I mean is one facing issues of anxiety or other disorders may interpret their tinted perspective as that of an introvert, considering only their reactions to situations while dealing with their problems. For instance, someone with an extroverted personality - meaning that they feel better the longer they spend their time actively engaging those around them - facing anxiety or depression may believe themselves to be introverts because of their reactions to situations forcing them to engage others. Had they not been faced with those problems, their interactions with others would only make them feel better. But instead, they take some online quiz through the perception of their interactions with others while dealing with anxiety or depression, and often come out of the tests as introverts. It will likely only hurt them in the long run, by not dealing with the actual problems.

I wonder how many introverts are actually misdiagnosed extroverts. Or whether or not these personality types have any merit lol.

Ah, that explained it well. I see what you mean now.

But having said that, I guess, unless one's condition is chronic, such anxiety and depression are usually periodic and one can distinguish if their lack of interaction with others at some point is either personality related or something new, innit?
