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.

Leaving is also my favorite thing to do at school. My second favorite is lunch.
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.”

"No, no, I swear I know how to do this, can you please just give me a second to remember something I've successfully done every day for the past 6 years?"

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.

Do people actually do this? Like, the only people I talk on the phone with are my brother and people my mom tells me I need to thank for birthday gifts.

Whatever happened to that random cool t-shirt I had when I was 9?

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

Cats cure my loneliness and depression... human interactions only increase both

I relate to this cat. Not stuck just in my mind, off somewhere in my only little nook, in my own little world and someone comes along telling me I it's weird where I'm in and to come out to join the rest of the world. WHY??????

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

I feel sad that a lot of people associate being introverted with being antisocial... You can be an introvert without hating interacting with people, introversion just means you need to recharge your social batteries often.

I hate that BP confuses introverted with socially awkward. But I am at the extreme end of introversion and I am anti-social. Like most things introversion/extroversion is a spectrum.

Another list of "introvert" memes, with many being depression or anxiety disorders. If you feel like that, get treatment.

That requires talking to someone. Also, one can have treatment/medication and still experience these things. It's pretty crappy of you to blanket diagnose people like that.
