Say it louder for the people in the back.

Yes, yes, yes!!! I can talk the hind leg off a donkey to people I know, yet some people never hear me speak

Love this term

We have enormous capacity to find ways to keep ourselves entertained that don't need to involve other people

Here 🙋

Why the hell do i need to explain myself?

Right ! You people ever think you’re all jerks, and I wouldn’t talk too you if you paid me ?

Yep, or worse you get told you are boring or repetitive or digress too much or whatever, then you realise you are surrounded by narcissists and it's not worth bothering.

This!!! I'm pretty sure this is why I have a tendency to talk fast and with a mild stutter.

That is exactly why I hate being around my loud in-laws!!! They interrupt mid sentence or just look away and start another conversation with someone else when I wasn’t even done talking. It’s like they all have ADD and I’m too slow for them.

I have never related to something so deeply rofl

I hate work parties. One group of people talks constantly and make it very difficult to be heard and the other group are my subordinates and I worry they don't want to interrupt me because I'm their boss and I'm older. I'm told that I'm interesting to talk to, i don't know about that. I usually wander away after a while and clean up after people. Everyone appreciates the person who cleans up.

Haha Jesus Christ i pretend talk to my friends at home because I don’t get the chance at school

Or get told "you're weird"

Yes!!!!!

My best friend asked me something last night about a certain situation with my mom. So I started to tell her. I was explaining certain things, since we live in 2 different countries and such, when I noticed she was really quiet. I asked what's wrong, and she said "nothing. I'm listening. It's just... You know.. It's so much. You talk so much." I immediately shut down. I know she didn't mean any offense by it. But growing up I was never allowed a chance to speak, especially like the post says, I'd usually get ignored, talked over, or interrupted. And then ppl are like "why are you so quiet?" 🙄😓 So it was a bit of a blow to me.

People who this happens to, are often also more shy/quiet then those around them that talk loud or alot. I used to not talk a lot when I visited my ex husbands family, because thye didn't know how to talk in a normal tone of voice, they all were just very loud and, believe it or not, they talked with their neighbors through the walls! I just didn't bother to tell anything when visiting, they weren't my favorite kind of people... so I just sat there and counted the seconds till we could leave. Back then I was so much younger and very shy, now there's not a hair on my head that would even think about staying somewhere that I don't like... I'll just leave.

Every time.

The story of my life!

Always

I feel this.

Same 😪

Most of my life... other people tend to suck

why is this so trueeeeeeeeee. i tell a story right and then people start telling another one and then I'm sad because the story was interesting, to me at least, and I thought they would like it but apparently they don't because they don't care. :(

Yeah and then feel like an idiot for trying

Sadly true.

Story of my life

I probably said 5 words one school year during class time and people always said I was too quiet. No, you're just not nice.

YUP

Me everytime

😥

I hate this also, but I am

I answer the text in my head so I know what to type but close the message as I don't have the time that second. I then am convinced that I did respond to the text and start to get internally miffed that they haven't come back to me yet 😖

This. This is why I don't sleep sometimes. The silence is so pure, so deep and clear. I'm finally at peace.

My social battery never seems to charge

Wasn't it Keanu Reeves who said that?

A much better tip: please don't just show up at people's houses, like Sitcom style. It's awful.

I do this. I wait until 2:15ish so I can eat my lunch in peace, or I go to my car

Why is there even a blue bit??

... or have full conversations with my cat.

I believe that's why we are introverts. We notice all the s**t that's going on and want nothing to do with it. We are observant first then introverts because of it

Replace "two people" with "two cats"

I love this one!

Yep. Netflix, comfy clothes, blanket, and food.

*introvert proud moment*
