50 Relatable Posts For People Who Are Done Interacting With Others
Interview With Author
Just because introverts prefer to keep to themselves doesn’t mean they have nothing to say. Quite the opposite—these folks are often bursting with vivid imaginations, bright minds, and deep thoughts. They just tend to be selective about who gets to hear them.
When introverts do find someone they trust, though, they’re more than happy to share. And sometimes, they even turn their experiences into memes. That’s why we’ve put together a collection of the funniest ones from the Facebook page Understanding Introverts.
Scroll down to enjoy them, upvote your favorites, and pass them along to your quiet-loving friends!

Some research estimates that about 65% to 75% of people lean toward being extroverted, while the remaining 30% identify as introverted. But personality isn’t so black and white—it’s more of a spectrum, with the majority falling somewhere in the middle. So in truth, we’re not limited to the extremes of social butterflies or reclusive hermits.
Still, extroversion is often considered the more socially desirable trait. Studies consistently find that extroverts experience higher levels of well-being, more frequent moments of joy, greater career advantages, and stronger satisfaction with their relationships.
But don’t roll your eyes just yet. While happy extroverts outnumber happy introverts on paper, the take is much more nuanced. Researchers that claim extroverts do better at work often say it’s because they’re drawn to leadership roles and more likely to be chosen for them.
However, that doesn’t mean they’re naturally more suited for the job. In fact, introverts and extroverts are equally successful when it comes to leading teams and achieving strong company performance.
And when it comes to relationships, extroverts typically feel more satisfied with the people in their lives because they trust others more easily and have fewer negative interactions. Their friendships, though, are often less deep, while introverts, with fewer friends, form much closer and more meaningful connections.

Let's speed this protest up because my Outroversion only lasts about an hour.
The founder of Understanding Introverts agrees that their personalities are regularly misjudged, hence the name of the group. “I started this page because I felt that most people think there’s not much to introverts beyond their introversion,” she told Bored Panda. “That’s wrong—we’re so much more: we work, we have families, and we have a sense of humor!”

I'm more of a leave an hour earlier to make sure I'm on time then sit awkwardly until the other person arrives and half smile at people so they know I actually have a friend and not just sitting there.
“I sometimes feel that society sees us as weirdos, as if we live in some strange way,” the creator continued. Not to mention, introverts often get a bad rap for being anti-social. “That’s not true. We just need to recharge after social events, we need alone time,” she explained. “We also prefer our circle of friends to be small—quality over quantity.”

They can try to relate when I'm done my story...not in the middle of it.

It is extremely irritating to those of us who don't open up and share very often, to have our spotlight taken away. Then you wonder why we don't talk, when you never give us a chance to.

I find this incredibly rude. If someone does this I always interrupt them, look at the person who was interrupted and says sorry please finish your story. You can wait until someone finishes speaking to share if you are trying to relate.

When someone tries to interrupt you, continue talking and give them a very sharp glance. Do not acknowledge that they said anything and afterwards explain "Sorry, but I just never listen to interruptions." If they continue to try, raise your voice slightly and tell them "I'm not finished talking please." (The "please" is entirely optional.) Make exceptions only for announcements of fire, flood, or dinner.

Maybe your story was too long and gave no one else a chance to contribute to the conversation!
Reflecting on her childhood, the mind behind Understanding Introverts admitted she often felt out of place. “When I was younger, kids were a bit rude to me because I wasn’t interested in the same things they were,” she shared. “I hated gossip and never felt the need to belong to groups.”

Even her family had trouble relating to her, since they’re all extroverted. “For them, it was difficult to accept this trait of mine,” she revealed. “But they’ve learned to respect my boundaries and wishes.”
Now, she’s thrilled that so many introverts can connect with her page. “It’s proof that there are others who feel the same way I do.”

I struggle with this. I am introverted and am required to be on zoom calls with clients all day everyday. It exhausts me.
At the end of the day, the owner of Understanding Introverts finds it baffling that some people can’t handle silence or time alone. “To me, it’s a sign they can’t accept their real selves,” she said. “What are they running from?”
So if there’s one thing introverts can teach us, it’s to embrace our authenticity. Because when we are comfortable in our own skin, we become the kind of person whose company we enjoy.

I would like telekinesis so I can move myself away from everything.

That's the look on my face when someone says "Can I share something with you?" No, you can tell me something, but hearing you talk is not a gift to me. In fact, my taking the time to listen is a gift from me to you.

Such a perfect image for that because Will's haircut is just so awful in it, too.

Again in this post, I get the feeling that being introvert is "better" than being extrovert. How come? And why can't people be both? When I'm feeling energetic, I can be very extrovert, for instance, like beating all my colleagues in a laser war game and having a super time, or introvert when I to build something with Lego and not want to be disturbed. I like other people, of course, the one more than the other, and sometimes I don't want to see anyone. From the posts I get the feeling that being introvert all the time is a very lonely life!

The whole introvert/extrovert thing is less than 40 years old. It started being a topic of discussion about 10-15 years ago. Before that you were "normal" or "shy" and being "shy" was considered bad. For a very long time the world thought to it was "normal" to be extroverted and that being introverted was some sort of illness/bad habit that people had to overcome to be normal. And then people realized that no, being extroverted isn't "normal" and being introverted isn't bad. They're just different ways of being social. The reason you see so much positivity and celebration of introversion is because we spent a very long time being told we're broken. When a group of people are told that being themselves = "broken" for a very long time, once they discover the truth, they want to stop feeling bad right away. They also want to celebrate that. Nothing in this post has said that being introverted is "better" that's just an assumption you're making.
