The holiday season can be hell for introverts. So many people, so many gatherings and events, so much small talk. So little time alone. One might even argue that this time of year is a match made in heaven for extroverts. If you feel like you're struggling along, with nowhere to hide from the masses, don't despair.

The Funny Introvert is a quiet but hilarious corner of the internet, dedicated to less talk and more memes. It's clocked up an impressive 3 million followers. And for good reason... The Instagram account is a wall of hysterical and relatable content for those who, quite frankly, prefer their own company. Bored Panda has put together our personal favorites from the page. Cancel your weekend plans, and keep scrolling for a much-needed dose of laughter during these trying times.

You gave her a kidney, maybe that's a turn on for her. You just need to turn her off, then on again, that'll reset it.

    I always have mixed feelings when I stump the expert. On the one hand, I feel somewhat validated that they couldn't fix it either, and yet I still want my problem solved.

    You'd better discuss this in advance. Whether it's wrong or not, the man is expected to pay. I know it's an assumption, but when you ask her to go out, you should tell her it will be Dutch.

    What I don't like about this is how many women will only dress up or bother with their appearance if the man is paying for dinner. It seems so... transactional. (The other side of that coin is that some men have come to *expect* that buying a meal for a woman entitles them to something sexual, which is also transactional, but grosser & more dangerous.)

    I think you overestimate how many women that is. Even in this case, I don't see this as "he won't pay so I won't put effort in." It was the way he went about saying it that was really off-putting and set the tone. Hence the lowered effort on her part. She's doing her best to make a good impression and he's preemptively scolding her like a child. That "reminder" was the worst way to go about asking to split the bill. Who DOESN'T bring their wallet with them wherever they go?! If you want to make sure you're on the same page about bill splitting, ask respectfully. I don't care who hurt you before, but don't take that out on me and assume the worst in me before we've even me. At least get to know me first.

    As a woman, I usually suggest "going Dutch" when the check arrives on a first date. Invariably, the man thanks me but pays for both our meals anyway. (It's still pretty common in the US for the man to pay on the first date.) If I like the guy, I'll say that I'm paying next time. They're usually delighted to hear that.

    What? I am so confused on why people expect men to pay all the time. At least he didn't say she was paying for it all. And as long as he doesn't buy something super expensive that she has to pay for. (If I am missing a very clear joke here pls tell me)

    When I was young enough to date, the first few dates were paid for by the one who did the inviting. If he asked her out, she'd expect him to pay; if she asked him out, she'd pay. Only after it was clear that they would "be dating" did dates become 50/50 (or whatever ratio matched earnings). No drama, no confusion. Invest in learning if you want to be in a relationship with this person.

    I read this as she decided to casual down for being treated that way, not because he had to 'earn' (for lack of a better word) her fancy clothes. It's one thing to say "are you ok with splitting the bill?" and another to tell someone not to forget their wallet. She's not 5, why assume she's going to assume he pays? For sure it's better to figure out who's paying in advance, but he definitely screwed up in how he went about it.

    He may have met a lot of gold diggers and he's now fed up and makes sure it doesn't happen again. I would understand it although it indeed sounds belittling.

    The one extending the invitation should be expected to pay imho. Else, ask the other person "to meet" for a drink/meal, which implies Dutch. But if you "invite" someone to a meal, you imply treat. But I'm old school I guess.

    It sounded like it wasn’t so much a “reminder” or she wouldn’t have dressed up to begin with. Sounded like one of those things certain people do to try to power play. She just went with the vibe he gave out. The way he said it changed it from a romantic date to a hang out between friends. I’d’ve changed too at the last minute status change.

    Depends on what you consider is normal, culture, how you're raised. I'm Dutch so a date is going Dutch. My ex is Indonesian. He insisted on paying. I found that very weird and like you're a nasty leech to let him pay for you. Kept saying I wanted to split but he refused. Eventually he had no cent left from all these dates and I gave him my savings. The idea is sweet.

    It's TELLING someone you'll be splitting the bill that's the issue. By default, I expect and am happy to pay the bill in full. Equally, I'm not so insecure that I refuse any assistance with it. However, I discuss it with my date so they don't feel there's any obligation just because I bought them dinner. I paid for the pleasure of their company - if they enjoyed mine enough for things to go further, that's great. If not, I'm not going to have a massive tantrum about it.

    Why assume this random guy or guys in general are into the high heels and silk dresses etc... This just has "selling your body and form" vibes to it... I dunno man it makes me dislike this whole thing if I find out a woman is doing that on a date. As a baseline for dates I say dress fittingly for both men and women! In matter you like and think looks good! The whole dress up for someone is reserved for later in the relationship XD

    Prisons don't provide Gatorade. Water. That's what they give you. Which isn't enough if you're having massive diarrhea or poor intake. Because you need the sodium and glucose in Gatorade to use your sodium glucose transporters. To super speed water into the body. Had a patient die bc they only gave him water and I recommended Gatorade. Prison is an awful place to be or to work at.

    Gotta laugh at folks who bemoan the ‘long’ wait times for a new patient appointment at the VA. They obviously never got a new health plan, never got a new job, or moved and had to get a new provider - often a months long wait. Even w/great health insurance.
