Many people only feel fulfilled when they are around others. They could talk for days, have friends over forever, and can virtually go crazy if they need to be alone.

To the introverts’ ears, however, silence is the best music. Their biggest existential dread is crowds of people and they will do everything to stay away from them. Luckily, unbeknownst to our dear fellow extroverts, way too many people prefer to be left alone.

This Instagram page titled “Antisocial Memes” is a safe place to celebrate your introvert side, and chuckle at painfully relatable memes that sum up everything, including being awkward around people, that they go through every day.

My house isn't a castle, but if I found a fellow introvert guy who loved me and my cats and wanted to live with us, THAT would be my fairy tale and happy ending!! (Especially if he loved sitting around in sweats eating double-cheese pizza!!!) 💕💕

I might be a continent away, but sign me up! Introvert (Asperger), cats, cheese, and loafing: check.

She should go one step further and build a moat (and raise the drawbridge)

NGL I would love to be the guy who took care of the litter boxes if I could live in the basement there. I love Enya, I love Kitties. That has to be someone's job right?

She must have great acoustics in her castle. Perfect for a voice as angelic as hers.

Why am I imagining here with a huge pile of banknotes in the middle of a room? I think she probably keeps her fortune in the bank like normal people. LOL

It's called Manderley Castle and was built in 1840, in what is now Ireland's (and one of Europe's) most exclusive neighbourhoods...price of property here easily exceeds many Hollywood and Beverley Hills prices. Bono's residence is about 300 meters away and The Edge also lives in the area, as does movie director Neil Jordan...Van Morrison had a house there up to recently. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manderley_Castle

Wonder how many servants live with her while she loves alone in a castle? Or does she herself see to the castle?

I can imagine Enya vacuuming the castle,and when she gets to the last room,she can start all over. And washing the curtains. And going to the store by a horse.

Yes that's her home...I live about 3 miles away.

I wonder how that works practically. Like if she has a maid or has a cleaning service come in. She and I are close in age. I have trouble keeping up with my MUCH smaller house and property.

I’m not completely anti-social. I’d be okay with having a housekeeper.

My dream is to own a farm and adopt a herd of dogs. I really just want to have a huge dog sanctuary and rescue unwanted pups so they don't have to live their life in a shelter.

To find out how exactly introverts' minds differ from extroverts’, previously Bored Panda spoke with Helen Marlo, a licensed clinical psychologist and Jungian psychoanalyst who provides psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, and consultation.

Helen, who is also a Professor of Clinical Psychology and the Department Chair at Notre Dame de Namur University, said that the key difference between introverts and extroverts “is in the characteristic and distinctive ways they direct and use consciousness and, consequently, how their attitude of consciousness impacts their psychic energy.”

“An individual who becomes energized when their consciousness is oriented towards internal sources exhibits a more dominant introverted attitude while an individual who is energized when directing consciousness to external sources exhibits a more dominant extroverted attitude,” Marlo told us.

The psychoanalyst explained that introverts obtain more gratification from sources inside themselves. “They are typically described as more introspective, reflective, solitary, and oriented towards individual pursuits,” she said some time ago.

However, Marlo believes that the common characterizations of introvert and extrovert personalities are often simplified. ”While the personality traits and activities ascribed to introverts and extroverts have some validity, frequently, such characterizations are overgeneralized and simplistic. For example, a frequent overgeneralization is that extroverts are not introspective or reflective while introverts are not social nor relate well to others.”

Me? I'm great! Totally... great! What? I'm not crying. Why would you say that? Nope, I definitely meant for my eyeliner to smear like that.

While we often believe we’re born introverts or extroverts, the research shows that it depends on a combination of factors: “What we are born with, along with what we experience in life, including influential relationships, our social and cultural world, life circumstances, stressors, and traumas,” Marlo said.

That being said, being an introvert is not just about avoiding crowds and preferring solitary time. Marlo believes that there are tremendous benefits of being an introverted person. “The consciousness of introverts, relative to extroverts, is more primed to absorb, reflect upon, analyze, endow meaning, and organize external material from fellow human beings as well as the objects of our external world.”

Moreover, introverts help to make our relationships, with others and ourselves, as well as the events of the external world more meaningful. “Introverts enable us to learn from our experiences by inspiring reflection. Moreover, introverted attention fosters creativity, and when met with extroverted consciousness, it inspires innovation,” the psychoanalyst concluded.

I have one very social daughter and one introvert. When the introvert lays down an insult or argument, it is pure gold!

Basically me. My brain tends to randomly decide that a random person I barely know is trustworthy and share my whole life story in about 6 minutes, while simultaneously choosing to avoid conversing with extremely trustworthy people I've known most of my life.

Sometimes if you just stare blankly into space for a few seconds, then look back at them and say "wait, what did you just say?" you can avoid unwanted questions

Simple solution: avoid all human interaction, therefore eliminating any chance of being asked to do anything you're not comfortable with

I've found that if you just never react to anything ever, people not only don't expect you to laugh at their jokes, they also just leave you alone! The occasional glare can also speed up the process
