I created this thread sometime ago in my phone, seeing that thread on Why You Should Date an Introvert - I just had to post it


Over the years, growing up as an extrovert amongst introverts, there had been lil focus on me. People pay so much attention to the introverts, We (extroverts) are expected to do same.
It's believed an extrovert has no fear/insecurity because of their outgoing nature. An extrovert is the inconsiderate one for not managing introvert friends/family.

1: Always expected to keep the conversation going: Yes, I love talking...but who doesn't like a break? Sometimes I wanna sit back and listen too. Being the backbone of every gathering can be tiring, a back-up is very appreciated.

2: Always expected to be happy: Those days I don't wanna talk, my friends/family can't just take/deal with it. They get really pissed off...like,"what's happening here?" "why isn't she entertaining me/us?". It automatically turns to a full-time job, I'm always expected to make people laugh/happy.

3: Empty Vessels Make Most Noise: Introverts are often labelled as great thinkers, while extroverts are just fun loving, party going people that can't even read a 10page book. That's not true...extroversion isn't synonymous to dullness, We are great thinkers too, capable of complex thoughts.

4: Often tagged a Flirt: This is the most serious problem. It's frustrating to have my friendliness misconstrued. What I consider an act of friendliness (due to the fact that I'm always quick to strike up a conversation anywhere-anytime), people may mistake it for subtle flirting.

5: Fear of solitude: We can't just imagine life without friends/family. This is probably why extroverts aren't good at keeping malice, they thrive in the company of others...so, when they are alone/ignored - they feel kinda unfulfilled.

6: Assumed to be Proud/Confident/strong: The fact that we are very confident of our words/actions often make people mistake us to be proud/confident (nope, we sometimes feel those butterflies...lolz) . A loved one once told me, you come off to me as a strong person...I said "really...you're wrong, that action of yours actually hurt".

No Personal Time/Space: In as much as we love to be your entertainment and we hate solitude, sometimes we just wanna be alone. Extroverts are expected to say yes to every fun-sounding invitation.
C'mon, there are days we wanna sit back and sleep!


P.S : This post isn't all inclusive. Thanks
What problem(s) have you faced as an extrovert?

Caisenes:
you're suspected of being a player

exactly!
All my growing years, people were always accusing me of playing guys.
[s]I have never even played anyone in my life[/s]...okay just one person

pls where is Jennimma?

damilolaluv:
These are a lot of generalisations. I am an extrovert and have never experienced such. If a person things you are a cheat it must be the way you present yourself or come across and not the fact that you are an extrovert/introvert

Kachisbarbie:


It's because of people like you I always put disclaimer. I wonder how I forgot this time
Brb

damilolaluv:


Disclaimer or not. I just said my opinion too. Or should I have put a disclaimer too

I wonder what you're on about.
*modified...
It wasn't supposed to be a generalisation, I never generalise Ma'am.
Your opinion is dully noted.
Thanks

JeffreyJamez:
Does all this really matter?

All what Sir?

JeffreyJamez:


Being an introvert and extrovert, does it really matter?

Deefuray:
Nice write up.
True

Kachisbarbie:


lols.
Of course it does. Our social nature goes aa long way in affecting our everyday life/relationship (positively/negatively).
Don't you think so?


thanks babe
True? Outta experience?

JeffreyJamez:


No it doesn't..... you know some people aren't born introverts right?..... some where once extroverts but due to a terrible life changing experience they decide to lock up.... but it doesn't define who they really are deep down.

Godmother:
Never knew extroverts had issues too. Thought it was just us introverts with our 'deep' nature and our knack to overanalyze issues, resulting in doubts sometimes. I always see extroverts as strong , carefree and easy-going people.

hahaha.
Funny you.
Of course we do...I am still waiting for other extroverts to add theirs.

You have been scarce.

Caisenes:
you're suspected of being a player

Kachisbarbie:


Yes. Situations make people change, but we are not gonna delve into the "situational" changes now.
As for affecting a relationship, of course it does - I have been affiliated with extroverts and it was mad fun. Introverts on their part - stressed me out a lot, the crux of livening the whole relationship/event or whatever was always on me.

ireneony:
I like guys that introvert but not shy.
People assume when someone is an introvert, it means the person is shy.
Someone can be an extrovert but shy
Someone can be an introvert but not shy.

I like well reserve guys who are very bold
Well I'm an extrovert but am shy, I like guy that are introvert but bold.

emusmith:

Extroverts ladies are PRONE to being "expensively sarcastic".

I know introverts do that also...but extroverts are totally annoying in that area.

An Extrovert lady is quick to let go, unlike Introvert Ladies- Some are "malicious elements".

I love them simply because I'm a bit introvert!

Introvert Rocks!
