A wise guy once said that "no man is an island" but boy, do some of us wish we were. Solo. In silence. Stranded out in the middle of the beautiful sea. Just me, myself and I. Peopling can sometimes get exhausting, even for the extroverted among us. But for introverts, suffering through the crowded world with unsolicited company and small talk can be pure t*****e.

If you'd rather lay low and often find yourself canceling weekend plans in favor of solitude, you're not alone. Yes, we said it... According to the Myers-Briggs Company, around 56.8% people around the world prefer introversion. Some of them can be found sipping tea while scrolling through social media.

Instagram account @diaryintroverts has more than 277,000 followers just like you. They congregate quietly, alone but together, to laugh at relatable memes and reels about life in the slow lane. Bored Panda has put together a list of our top picks from the page so you that you have something fun to do when you turn down that next social invitation.

    I started learning to play a completely new instrument. Some of the early pieces of practice music play in my head even in my dreams.

    I often see this happening here and I tend to stay quiet about a few controversial topics because of those who attack others that have differing thoughts/opinions. BP is my only source of content/media that I utilize and even though the attacks here seem to be less harsh than other sites, it's just not worth it, imho.

    Yeah people downvote religious ppl. As long as everyone can respect each other, what’s the harm in religion? It gives hope.

    The problem is that a lot of people use religion to harm others, some don't even realise that that's what they are doing because it's so ingrained in them due to their religion. Some religion also oppresses certain parts of the population as part of their religion. Religion in itself isn't horrible, but people have used certain religions as excuses to behave in a*****e, intrusive, and just generally poor ways that a lot of people are just tired of hearing about it. Not to mention that some religious people absolutely refuse to understand that others don't share their faith or ideas

    A lot of people do. But there are a lot of religious people who are religious in private that go unnoticed.

    Most people will not care about you or you're faith...they'll bring up a bunch of stuff they wouldn't bring up about other things. Fascism for ex killed a multitude of people over all religion combined...and guess what...they hated religion....same as communism, but hey...who cares about facts, let's rather vote for more fascists

    Tell that to children abused by priests or single mothers that had their babies taken from them. Tell that to extremist preachers that teach hate and violence. Tell that to the people ripped off and robbed by evangelical preachers who live in luxury while taking money from the poorest.

    And I say, Bring It On! I have no fear of strangers lurking behind aliases who think they can spew their hatred and ignorance. If something I add is factually incorrect, then by all means, let me know. But don't ever think your opinion trumps my opinion.

    In high school, I had a history text book that belonged to some satanist and/or top-tier edgelord, complete with pentagrams, some Latin chants, prayers to Satan etc. I had to resist the urge to sprinkle it with holy water 😅

    Along with useless pop culture trivia, nearly the entire dialogue of the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and so many songs stored in the long term section of my brain. Also jokes, both bad and dad, puns, and somewhere in there, making himself known at the worst times, is a 13 year old's dirty sense of humor.

    Ok, but when it's the mental health specialists who do that, it's just cruel. I suffered through 3 sessions of family therapy, I was criticised, invalidated or ignored, while parents could insult me openly. I said the abuse led me to neglect my guinea pig and she died of hunger. Parents and both therapists immediately told me guinea pigs die, rodents don't live long.

    I won't stop procrastinating until something bad happens because of it, but if something bad happens then I have to deal with the consequences, so the only solution is to procrastinate and not fail.🥲
