It seems like everywhere I go, there are just extraverts abound. They’re loud and they’re proud, but right here, on the internet, I know there are plenty of introverted pandas reading this. So this one goes out to you guys. 

Anyone who’s snuggled up with a good book on Friday night, who works entirely remotely and who orders whatever they can online to avoid social interaction, we hope you enjoy this article that’s dedicated to introvert representation. Below, we’ve gathered some of our favorite pics from All About Introverts on Twitter, so be sure to upvote the ones that make you feel seen. (But thankfully, not literally. You’re safe in the comfort of your home, don’t worry!)

Tom Hardy is a very underappreciated actor and person, I love him. He's right, all I need is my dog, snacks, and youtube.

Couldn't agree more. I'd much rather be alone doing something I enjoy than in the company of someone who can't listen.

"Why are you so quiet?" oh I don't know Mary, why did you ignore me and talk over me the entire time?

I am without a doubt an introvert myself, so I have to admit that many of these photos speak to my soul, pandas. I have no problem being social for limited amounts of time, but if I don’t get my one day a week completely alone when working from home, I start to go crazy. It can be so exhausting trying be “on” when in public, so there’s nothing better than walking home after a long day and not having to speak to anyone for an hour, or relaxing on the couch on a Sunday morning. Socializing too much gives me an actual headache, and when I don’t have time to decompress by journaling or taking time to process my thoughts, I start to spiral. Being an introvert is just something I am, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that, despite what some extrovert-biased media might tell you.

That’s why pages like All About Introverts are so nice. It can be challenging to find introvert representation that doesn’t just portray us as socially awkward, shy individuals who are scared of ever leaving our homes. Sure, that may be the case for some people, but most introverts are perfectly normal in public; we just cherish those moments when we finally get to be alone. I can’t fully relax until I’m by myself, and I have always been that way. “Although we live in an extrovert world, introverts are valuable, centered members of society with so much to contribute,” All About Introverts writes on their site. “Our articles will highlight many of the things that make introverts extraordinary.”

Just because extroverts talk more doesn't mean they're intrinsically less valuable. I'm an ambivert leaning introvert who used to be an extrovert and even when I did love being around people that didn't make me shallow or useless, just talkative

Introverts are an often misunderstood group of people. You might assume they’re always quiet, shy or plagued by social anxiety, but that doesn’t have to be the case at all. Whether you’re an introvert or an extrovert simply comes down to how you spend energy and how you recharge, according to psychologist Carl Jung who coined the terms in 1920. If you turn inside to your own mind to gain your energy back, you’re an introvert. And if you need social interaction to give you energy, you’re an extrovert. All of us can be perfectly fine alone or being social with others, but one of those things will be more exhausting for you. Extroverts tend to have much more representation, as they might demand a bit more attention, but actually one-third to one-half of all Americans are introverts. Let me hear you roar, introverts of the world!

A few of the most common misconceptions that introverts face is that they’re shy or unfriendly, that they cannot be leaders, and that it’s difficult to get to know them. But none of these things actually have anything to do with how introverts recharge their batteries. They can be just as kind and friendly as anyone else, they just might not have the energy to be “on” in front of people at all times. They might become quieter in a large social setting if they’re running out of energy, but if you speak to them one-on-one, they are likely to have a lovely conversation with you. And they can certainly have wonderful leadership qualities. They’re usually great listeners, great at analyzing situations, and they may be seen as less intimidating, which can help people trust them.

This one hits home for me, I’ve had more than my fair share of this same exact scenario here. I’m moody I suppose, there’s times I love talking to people (which has garnered me a reputation for being a “social butterfly”) and then there’s times I just don’t feel up to it and don’t want to talk to anyone or see anyone; like the post, if I hear talking outside or see people, I’ll just wait till the coast is clear to throw out the garbage or check the mail, which is usually late at night or in the wee hours of the morning 😂

For a previous Bored Panda article featuring painfully relatable introvert memes, we reached out to Jenn Granneman, founder of Introvert, Dear, and she was kind enough to have a chat with us about why she started an online community for introverts. “I started Introvert, Dear in 2013 as my personal blog. I was dating an extroverted man, working an extroverted job (teaching), and living with an extroverted roommate. I wanted to write about what it was like being an introvert living in an extrovert’s world," Jenn explained. "In true introvert form, I wrote the blog anonymously for almost two years because I had no desire to be in the spotlight. Today, my blog has become the world’s largest online community for introverts and highly sensitive people. With the help of 'quiet ones' around the world, I’m on a mission: to show introverts and highly sensitive people everywhere it’s okay to be who they are."

We also previously asked Jenn what being an introvert means to her. “Being an introvert simply means I prefer to socialize a little differently than extroverts do," she explained. "I love to have meaningful conversations with just one or two people at a time, rather than make small talk with a big group. I socialize infrequently and in short bursts, and I need plenty of downtime afterward to regain my energy.”

“There are times when I might attend a big party or a concert, but generally, I prefer to hang out at home or in intimate spaces,” Jenn previously told Bored Panda. “I can make small talk, but doing so takes a lot of effort, so I avoid it when I can. I cherish solitude. My favorite weekend 'plans' are no plans at all. I tend to keep thinking about certain issues, problems, or experiences long after other people have forgotten about them or moved on to another topic. I make my point using a handful of words rather than hundreds."

Seeing as it's causing some confusion, here's the deal. First, that's not a 3, it's a Z, one of the symbols from the International Phonetic Alphabet, a system that allows you to express the pronunciation of any word in any language in a universally accepted and standardised manner. The z represents the "j" sound (as in "juice"), and the d is an unvoiced consonant that affects where your tongue is when you start the J; it's more like the sound in the middle of "adjust" than at the start of "juice" (depending on your accent/regional dialect/native language it may or may not be apparent).

“Introverts are still misunderstood, despite the positive attention that they’ve gotten in the media in recent years," Jenn previously told Bored Panda. "When you’re a quiet person who doesn’t say much, it’s easy for people to misread you." She also went on to dispel some common introvert misconceptions. "That our need for solitude is about us, not the people in our lives," she explained. "Sometimes our friends and loved ones feel hurt or rejected when we spend time alone. They shouldn’t — introverts are simply wired to need that downtime to restore their energy. It’s not about you; it’s about us. If you have an introvert in your life, please don’t feel hurt if they occasionally decline your invitations or ask to spend the evening alone."

When someone you've just met says disapprovingly "You're so quiet", you're allowed to say "Yes, it keeps me from making personal remarks at short acquaintance." (You're allowed because I just gave you permission.)

I have a friend who almost does that. She’s my personality but extroverted :) she’s awesome. She can bring a topic out of nowhere, and while she does get excited and cut me off, it’s still nice to have met an intellectual who’s as fascinated with some things as I am

I want to feel included and like they're thinking of me, at the same time I don't want to do whatever they're trying to include me in. And there's a difference between alone and lonely, I like being alone, i don't necessarily feel lonely though.

Often when you ask for help, and you begin the task, most show up when the task is near complete. "Why didn't you come get me?" Sorry, if I have to come hunt you down, it was obviously of no importance, and I would have been that much further behind..

I really wish the internet had been invented sooner. Not because I love being able to look up whatever random thoughts I have and explore topics I stumble upon just by using the computer I hold in my hand (which I love, btw), but so that I would’ve known in my 20’s that being an introvert was ok and going out and getting myself drunk so I didn’t feel awkward or socializing was not necessary at all. I could’ve just stayed home and saved my brain cells.
