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.

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.
Why are people downvoting things like these? I often don't understand.
Load More Replies...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.
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.
Yeah people downvote religious ppl. As long as everyone can respect each other, what’s the harm in religion? It gives hope.
Also, tell that to the women of Afghanistan about their religion.
Load More Replies...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.
Mention the Islam in it's current state and see how many downvotes you can collect in comparison...
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 😅
My wife and I in the kitchen - "You're in my way" ... "says the person who's in MY way!"
Nonsense. When I change my phone I get money back for returning it in good condition. Nothing says "good condition" like original packaging.
What am I supposed to do now? Start tv program dating all over again? It's stupid how much of a void this can leave sometimes.
Sometimes I wake up at 5am and think, "I'm going to get loads done today". And then I accomplish one small task, sit down and the next thing I know it's 5pm.
This hits really close to home. I was the most well behaved idiot you ever saw.
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.
I was scuba diving in murky water, quickly lost my dive buddy, found him, picked up two more lost partners and at 80' below the surface had the realization, "Holy c**p - I just became these people's divemaster!"

Poll Question
How often do you find yourself canceling plans for solitude?
Frequently
Sometimes
Rarely
Never
it be great if people stop asociating intovert with mental illness, just becase we dont like people doesnt mean we are mentaly ill, depressed or wanted to die. Maybe extroverts need to shut the f**k up and make place more comfrotable....
It'd be great if you stopped saying that introverts don't like people, as well. An introvert doesn't inherently dislike people or being around people. We just need to make sure we get the appropriate amount of time alone. That's literally all it means.
The poll at the end 'How often do you find yourself cancelling plans?' It's never for me as I don't make the plans in the first place.
I feel sorry for all people who did these "memes" and are meaning them. Some are hard to read and not funny at all. Breaks my heart 💔
The title of this is currently "If You Were In a Bad Mood, These Priceless Memes Aimed At Introverts Might Cheer You Up" WTAF??? No, I don't think they did.
Instagram for a change, rather than Reddit, written by folks who haven't a clue what introvertism is!
It's a bit worrying that several of these are suggesting that people 'save' memes on their phone or computer. Surely nobody does that... do they?
"How often do you find yourself canceling plans for solitude?" Answer: Rarely - I don't make plans in the first place.
The Radetzky March by Strauss is great to listen to if you are feeling "all p i s s e d off about being dragged down by an extrovert that hasn't a clue about introverts" Great stuff! They made proper music back in them thar days.
As i said earlier, copy/pasted from Reddit or Instagram where the original posters haven't a clue what "introvert" actually means.
