I dont know what I am, but I think intro and extrovertedness is really... Just bland.. Its like

introverts - stop being a pussy
extroverts - talk less
Its more then that if your brain can comprehend it...introvets Like to be in company of there own thought as they gain energy from it, Kinda like a battery, when fully charged they can go out and have lots of fun, just there energy gets drained alot quicker, but with extroverts its the exact opposite.

I'm a complete and total introvert.

I went out last night for a "ladies night". Lets just say, I am not like other women and I will not be doing "ladies night" ever again. Women are incredibly annoying and uncooth. No fucking manors and all they do is talk jive.

Them


Me
But u don't enjoy talking about each other, pointless bragging and a fluffy hair paired with nasty smelling perfumes and the makeup, their always putting more on, I also pass on the ladies nights, most women i find to be annoying fake bitches.

I just saw this on pintrest and was pretty impressed how accurate it is...


Myth #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk.

This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days.

Myth #2 – Introverts are shy.
Shyness has nothing to do with being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they need is a reason to interact. They don’t interact for the sake of interacting. If you want to talk to an Introvert, just start talking. Don’t worry about being polite.
Myth #3 – Introverts are rude.
Introverts often don’t see a reason for beating around the bush with social pleasantries. They want everyone to just be real and honest. Unfortunately, this is not acceptable in most settings, so Introverts can feel a lot of pressure to fit in, which they find exhausting.
Myth #4 – Introverts don’t like people.
On the contrary, Introverts intensely value the few friends they have. They can count their close friends on one hand. If you are lucky enough for an introvert to consider you a friend, you probably have a loyal ally for life. Once you have earned their respect as being a person of substance, you’re in.
Myth #5 – Introverts don’t like to go out in public.
Nonsense. Introverts just don’t like to go out in public FOR AS LONG. They also like to avoid the complications that are involved in public activities. They take in data and experiences very quickly, and as a result, don’t need to be there for long to “get it.” They’re ready to go home, recharge, and process it all. In fact, recharging is absolutely crucial for Introverts.
Myth #6 – Introverts always want to be alone.
Introverts are perfectly comfortable with their own thoughts. They think a lot. They daydream. They like to have problems to work on, puzzles to solve. But they can also get incredibly lonely if they don’t have anyone to share their discoveries with. They crave an authentic and sincere connection with ONE PERSON at a time.
Myth #7 – Introverts are weird.
Introverts are often individualists. They don’t follow the crowd. They’d prefer to be valued for their novel ways of living. They think for themselves and because of that, they often challenge the norm. They don’t make most decisions based on what is popular or trendy.
Myth #8 – Introverts are aloof nerds.
Introverts are people who primarily look inward, paying close attention to their thoughts and emotions. It’s not that they are incapable of paying attention to what is going on around them, it’s just that their inner world is much more stimulating and rewarding to them.
Myth #9 – Introverts don’t know how to relax and have fun.
Introverts typically relax at home or in nature, not in busy public places. Introverts are not thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies. If there is too much talking and noise going on, they shut down. Their brains are too sensitive to the neurotransmitter called Dopamine. Introverts and Extroverts have different dominant neuro-pathways. Just look it up.
Myth #10 – Introverts can fix themselves and become Extroverts.
A world without Introverts would be a world with few scientists, musicians, artists, poets, filmmakers, doctors, mathematicians, writers, and philosophers. That being said, there are still plenty of techniques an Extrovert can learn in order to interact with Introverts. (Yes, I reversed these two terms on purpose to show you how biased our society is.) Introverts cannot “fix themselves” and deserve respect for their natural temperament and contributions to the human race. In fact, one study (Silverman, 1986) showed that the percentage of Introverts increases with IQ.

I guess some of those things apply to me, I am an ACTUAL artist, work well alone, one hell of a problem solver and am very mechanically inclined.... but I love to socialize (once im comfortable, I just usually can't find a good way to start a conversation unless im hitting on someone :P). I do have a very analytical brain and absorb the idea of my surroundings quickly, and then feel the need to move on... but dont mind lingering if I am comfortable with a few individuals... The part about the few close friends I have is pretty accurate, though I am a social butterfly (Thank you Facebook for making meeting people so easy for us introverts). I value my few close friends and bend over backwards to make sure they are ok- a doormat at times, but it is mutual.

Is it possible to be only partially introverted? Or is it just that I have learned to use my desire for company push me past the feeling of awkwardness...

BTW just a side note, being considered 'attractive' does seem to help me with talking to others because alot of girls start conversations with me before I even have to try :)

I simply get bored if the other person cant match or surpass the knowledge I know.. seldom do I hang out with those who cant contribute to the conversation.

yet... it has to be something I wanna talk about.. or to hell with it..


oddly the more I watch big bang theory... the more sheldon I like..
