I do. Having a visitor for too long wears me down. I've had to pretend that I was going somewhere a couple of times to ensure some visitors leave.

hello everyone!!!!
just stumbled on this for thread...
pls I having these questions
why is it eazy for us to notice other introverts in our environment and why is it like unlike our self we reach out almost spontaneously to speak with them??

One thing is very clear about most introverts: the absurd rule "unlikes attract" does not only reek of fallacy (except in the context of magnetism, of course), it sure does not hold for introverts. In an extroverted world that can't keep quiet, Introverts search for quiet endlessly. So when someone with a similar personality is seen, it becomes so obvious who they are simply because it's easy to spot an introvert in the midst of plenty extroverts.

When this spotting happens, attraction takes place and the introvert is drawn to the other introverted fellow. This very rare opportunity is then what drives an introvert to reach out though he/she would ordinarily not do so.


I have 2 introverted friends like me but who i would say are less introverted and unlike me they are not also shy (I am both introverted and shy) and with their help I was able to reach out to a small group of extrovert.
my question: at this point why is it that when I tell myself to consider making new friends I push it down as vanity although I know I can be friends with any body?

and why is my shyness raised to epileptic levels when a girl is involves

Truth is, many introverts want to make friends but because they soon get tired of the idea of friendship and "too much company," they would rather not start what they cannot finish. This is why we don't like making friends though we may secretly want it and are totally capable of initiating it. So the reason you see making friends as vanity is because your mind tells you that you can't sustain it and it's therefore pointless starting it.

Now, "raised to epileptic levels" is a very funny way to qualify degree of shyness. I'd say it's normal and it's not so much about introversion really. This has been discussed a lot of times here so please go over the last dozen pages of this thread. I posted something on this page that might answer your question:

I completely agree. In my own case, I don't even really like guests. I'd rather I'm meeting them outside my home unless they're very close like family. Home to me is like a personal space I don't feel comfortable sharing.

Dont mean to be controversial but y'all be treating introversion like a medical condition or something, doing researchs, pulling up Wikipedia references and all. I rather expected to find a community of introverts enjoying the better company of each other that introverts are known to offer. Haven't been to the extroverts thread if such thing exists but I'm guessing they wouldn't be dissecting the word extrovert and its implications.
I'm not all that good in expressing myself with words, being an introvert and all *rollseyes* but I hope my meaning is not misunderstood

That's very true. Sometimes as introverts, we may feel guilty because it's just as if we don't care about those around us because of our lackadaisical attitude towards the display of affection. I'm currently reading "The Introverts Advantage" and I've learnt alot about how to do away with such guilt conscience.

By understanding the way your brain works, you can reduce shame and guilt. You can create the optimal environment for yourself. You can enhance your appreciation of your own unique introverted advantages.

The guilt feeling is one big challenge. Fortunately, most people get over this if and when they discover themselves.

How and why does it hurt to be introverted?
have you experience a situation whereby people look down on you, they sees you as a fool? have you experience a situation whereby you can't start a conversation with a stranger even if you try, you get stuck in the middle of it? Have you ever been in a situation whereby you are innocent and even on your right, you end up saying sorry even when you are really angry inside? etc I mean these things hurt.
