SPAMBOX7:Nothing extreme here.. We get so burnt sometimes and the only way we can get back to ourself is just stay away from others until we're okay.. |

Divay22:seriously he is right. Introverts are people who don't easily get confortable with people but when they do, they become the most clingy, softest, and chattybox people in their space. I'm just saying, you are over thinking this! 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Richnero99:you are normal but then, you need people to create good memories with you, so that when you grow older, you can have something to smile about. |

Divay22:You made it sound like introverts are people who don't talk at all. Introverts are really wonderful people. They talk a lot and do lotta things when they are used to you. You may even be wondering if that particular person is really an introvert. Introvert or not it's all about being free with a person, you make them be at ease hence they can be themselves. I'm an introvert as well I don't go about talking to people in public all in the name of I wanna be jovial, like them acclaimed extroverts do, cos I see it as creepy. But if I get to know you a bit you may even wonder if I was that same guy that was so quiet all those years. And did you know we have more introverts that extroverts on earth? I bet you dunno. But here you are making it look like being an introvert is some curse 3 Likes |

Divay22:Introverts are talkative when they become familiar with someone. Once they become familiar with each other as couples, they will be worst than extroverts in terms of talking |

SPAMBOX7:Exactly @bold One thing I have noticed is seems a lot of people have misconstrued impression of introverts and tend to classify certain group of people as introverts. If u are depress or going through some life difficulties that is now affecting the way u react, that doesn't mean u are an introvert. A lot of depressed people tend to see themselves as introverts. Introverts are people who don't talk or do things unnecessarily with those they are not familiar with. Their level of self respect is very high, anything that will lead to shaming or ridicule, they always try to avoid it. But once they get familiar with u, they can go any length. 5 Likes |

Anybody familiar with the MBTI personality type indicator on this thread? |
Re: Introverts Lounge (Extroverts Pls Keep Off !!) by Probz(m): 2:54pm On Oct 28, 2022 |
pocohantas: True but the thing is everyone’s a mixture of introvert and extrovert. The conceptualisation of it becomes deeper-still once you fully take it down a Jungian/MBTI lane. |

uche40: You must be pretty smart, then (INTPs are the bonafide geniuses of the world). I started off life closer to the ENFP side of things but now I’m just an INFJ. 1 Like |

Probz: Well, I try my best Probz: My two closest friends in Uni were ENFP and INFJ . I never knew MBTI types could change though. Although from the little study I've done on MBTI, the ENFP and INFJ are supposed to be mirror types. For example I'm supposed to behave more like an ENTJ when I'm stressed. 1 Like |
Re: Introverts Lounge (Extroverts Pls Keep Off !!) by Probz(m): 9:16pm On Oct 28, 2022 |
uche40: I think INFJs have less-conscious xSTP and ENFP elements to their personality and many ENFPs are clear social introverts in their younger years so the lines can be confusingly-blurred. INFJ is definitely my core type but I feel like I must’ve been in my ENFP shadow for most of my childhood and early teens, for one reason or the other, you know? Once I made the shift though it was pretty obvious which one I belonged to at my core. And yeah, apparently people behave like their unhealthy shadow-forms when under stress (other persona-correlations might happen under different circumstances and for different reasons but this one’s quite well-known). An INTP’s likely to behave like an unhealthy ENTJ when under stress, an ENFJ an unhealthy INFP and ESTP ISTJ and so-on. I think that’s quite common. |

How do you get on socially, Uche.? Do you stick to an intellectual bubble of mates or do you just get on with things, let people come to you and communicate more or less firm boundaries along the way? I feel like one thing INTPs and INFJs both have in common is that we’re quite guarded and selective about who we let in and even when we do and really love them we still often interact with them in a reserved way. |
Re: Introverts Lounge (Extroverts Pls Keep Off !!) by uche40(f): 10:36pm On Oct 28, 2022 |
Probz: I've always had a small circle of loyal friends who I've known for donkey years . I have an INFJ who was my best friend from secondary school till my university days, and even now we're still very close. Curiously, I interact with people a lot -- except I never allow myself get too attached to them. I must confess, I do prefer to hang around people that I perceive are just as smart, or even smarter than I am. 2 Likes |
Re: Introverts Lounge (Extroverts Pls Keep Off !!) by Probz(m): 12:27pm On Oct 29, 2022 |
uche40: Gotcha. It’s often a case of being friendly from arm’s length and cherishing day-one acquaintances but bearing in mind going forward that no-one’s entitled to get to know you, nor are they all necessarily worth your time. That friendly reserve of INFJs especially seems to really irk some people but ultimately it just is what it is. Your social boundaries are yours to draw and if you’re naturally reserved even around family and close friends/good acquaintances you’ve known for years and years you’re definitely not going to be going out of your way to befriend every new person within spitting distance. Especially if they’re not that interesting or smart. Personally I don’t generally rub shoulders with more-or-less wilful illiterates but everyone’s different. 1 Like |
Re: Introverts Lounge (Extroverts Pls Keep Off !!) by uche40(f): 12:37pm On Oct 29, 2022 |
Probz: Hmm. I always assumed INFJs were much more friendly than INTPs. My friend is the type of person who hates to keep grudges with other people. Any altercation she's involved in always ends in her seeking the other person's forgiveness. It's also very rare to see her upset -- always cheerful even when the mood doesn't call for it. Contrast that with me who's all too willing to snub people for the rest of eternity if they rub me off the wrong way . Are you INFJ-A or INFJ-T? |
Re: Introverts Lounge (Extroverts Pls Keep Off !!) by Probz(m): 12:47pm On Oct 29, 2022 |
uche40: I’m definitely the humanistic kind (I think all INFJs are) but I guess you could say I’m someone who’s more analytical about social phenomena, dynamics and issues so for me to take a backseat and get beyond a bit of polite brief small-talk with you or the odd night-motive there has to be a reason (it’s for personal energy-conservation more than anything to do with actively-liking or disliking the person). I’m the sort of person who has tons of acquaintances/C-grade friends (who are mostly lovely people as far as that goes) but few people I’m actually on super-close terms with directly. I’m very far from the total recluse persona that personifies (as it seems) most IxFPs but I’m too guarded to be a social butterfly, despite the love. On some days it’s useful to see myself as a deeply-reflective and calm ENFJ. I know my social battery’s firmly ambiverted (socialising doesn’t drain me; I just pick and choose how much they can compete with my alone-time so far as I’ve got something to do with it). Not sure about the A vs. T thing in my case. 1 Like |

''Introverts are not quiet, they avoid conflict. They know you're wrong. How you're wrong. Why you're wrong. And the history & psychology of all your wrongs. They may stay quiet. You may think they gave up & you won. But trust me they planned the end even before you began thinking." 7 Likes |
