    I feel like a lot of people here might have a misunderstanding of what introverted and extroverted mean. Introverted doesn’t mean you’re shy or have trouble talking to people, and extroverted doesn’t mean you’re outgoing. The two words refer to how you “recharge” your social battery. So introverted people like to do it by being alone or with a small amount of people they’re close with, while extroverted people recharge it by by socializing with whoever. So you can have a very outgoing introvert who’s going to need alone time after and a very shy extrovert.

    The real question is is anyone here NOT an introvert?

    To my very core. I went to a funeral and wake recently and had no clue what to say to people. I was tossing mental dice and saying whatever came up “good to see you” “how are you” “glad you’re here” “Its been a while” etc. it was tough bc I have so damn many cousins (Irish family, gma had 10 kids, I have 40-50 cousins ranging from age 15 to late 40s) and half of them are cousins once removed that I don’t know, others are cousins that I feel bad about not knowing. Irish funerals and wakes are usually kinda raucous or get rowdy by the end but the deceased was quite young (20s) and it was tough. Being an introvert doesn’t make it any easier to interact in these situations

    Yes and it’s really peaceful. Accepting the fact that I’m an introvert has made it easier to find my true self. This year I came to many realizations that are important components to the makeup of my personality. No longer I pretend to be someone I’m not, and my head is more clearer.
