Someone Asks Introverts To Share What Questions Annoy Them The Most, They Respond With 30 Tweets

Lol even my family knows Skype is unlikely XD and my friends know if I don't answer my front door to announce it's them so I'll answer it....

so i can go offline during that day

You're awake at 2:00 AM looking at Bored Panda too? Nice

always gave the excuse that l don't have a cam/mic connected to my comp..l tell yah, l might be drop dead gorgeous, but not on a cam, chuckle..

Seriously. While a lot of women look good wearing no makeup and their hair messy like they only got up 5 minutes ago, when I do it I just end up looking like a hot mess. So, big duh, I do NOT want to Skype when I look like that.

There HAD to be a way to let people know we're introvert, whereas they'd have to say "oh, alright" then respectfully enjoy the silence with us. No eye contact neither! Just stay there, comfortable and casual, only talking when feeling like it and not for the urge of small talk. :P

This. If I want to be around other people, I will seek them out. But it’s really not all that weird that I also enjoy my own company, and actually prefer to do some things by myself, like go to movie matinees on weekday afternoons (quiet and no crowds, so I can sit in my favorite back row exactly center seat), and explore new places (without having to babysit someone else who doesn’t really want to be there).

If introverts could just be themselves without trying so hard to fit in, people would get used to it and nobody would have to fake anything. But then... if we could "just" do that, we wouldn't be introverts, would we?

Ya see we were gonna fix it but that seemed like way too much outside time and participation in society it was much easier to stay home

Ya see we would've tried to fix it but in all honesty that takes too much interaction and participation in society so we just stayed home

great comment! 1000 likes!

Yes a few hrs at the end of the day of mental privacy (or "quiet, alone time" as the next post says) are really essential

Bingo. What they DON'T see is how relieved and happy I am when I can finally get alone and re-charge. It is bliss.

It’s amazing how long it takes to recharge after a social outing, even if you had fun.

I don't make promises about calling back. If it's important, send me a text ;)

My dog barks like a lunatic when he hears our phone ring... I am very happy with this. Sorry, can't answer as I won't be able to hear. Leave a message and I may call you back once I've calmed the dog (thank you my lovely anxious dog).

Eventually I'll get around to deleting my 27 voicemails. Don't rush me.

Yeah, I’ve been screening calls since the late 1980s, when I bought my first answering machine.

Ah. Coping.

When people do that it's rude and dehumanizing.

Because they are 89 and have want to feel important. When Dad moved in with us we ported his landline to a cell for him. He is constantly getting spam calls (and even though he says he cannot operate an iPhone, he still manages to turn off all the blocks I've put in place to prevent spammers). Several times an hour I will hear "HELLO? HELLO? I can't hear you. Somebody turned up this TV to loud and I can't turn it down" [yes, Dad is the one who turned it up but now cannot turn it down] "Can you speak up? HELLO? HELLO? Why are you whispering?!" [me at computer on deadline, Dad shoves cell phone in my face]. "You talk to them. I can't figure out a word they are saying." Of course the call is a pre-recorded message on loop from Shittie Scam Co with a special Medicare opportunity ... I tell dad it is just a scammer just trying to get his money. "Well we've got to do something!!" wut? "Well you just said someone stole my Medicare!" No Dad that's not ... "Wait a minute - I'm getting a call."

But then you would listen to the message that they'd be bound to leave if it's that important and you've lost less than a couple of minutes.

Not using voicemail anymore when something might be important is just not making good use of the tools available. Why would you not? My mobile phone beeps to let me know if the caller I just ignored has left a message and I am listening to it in moments. My doctors surgery calls me quite often. They are allowed to say that they called without verifying who they are speaking to, just not why. I call them straight back. I have also given them permission to speak to my husband which is perfectly legal in the UK. Urgent doesn't make any difference - you still only lose moments. The only change culturally is that texting is more prevalent. Even my doctors surgery sends me texts as confirmation that they've referred me or for an appointment. Still can't see how leaving a message and being called straight back would affect urgent unless it was also important and then, again, leave a message. Urgent is often in the eye of the caller anyway.

Or one of the few things I actually would go to.

Exactly! I have to plan my naps new! gosh! :D sorry ^^ i love it when plans are cancelled :)

unless if it's a sudden plan that got shoved into your plan by someone else....

THIS. And now if we reschedule, I have to do that preparation all over again...

I’d buy a private island to get away from all but my select few favorite people—-and still helicopter them off it when I want to be alone. Animals, on the other hand, can live there as long as they want (though I believe in spaying and neutering to keep the population from exploding).

Amen!

Saaaame!

Yes indeed!!! I go home on the Friday and WILL NOT come outside until Monday OR Tuesday!!!

Exactly. People with rich inner lives are rarely lonely or bored.

Sounds like heaven to me
