This is so comforting. Knowing I'm not alone in this. Wow, so you mean I'd get bored and want my old self back except I'm willing to keep up with bs? Interesting......

Well, girl, at the end. it's you. it's your life. don't live it based on what other people would think. just do you. if you feel moving outta your box would make you feel any better. then, please go ahead. but chances are that you're gonna miss your space. trust me, I've tried.



Sometimes, I feel like ''Girl, life is too short to live this way''. like I'm really bad at keeping friends. I just lose enthusiasm. and at the end, they'll think I'm a big snub. but that's not usually the case. I just love my space. I love watching TV, laughing At something I read online, and maybe hanging out(AT Home) With my siblings. trust me, I've tried changing. like I did basically everything to go out more, socialise more. but at the end, I end up Crawling back to my Bed, either watching Nickelodeon, CNN, movie zone or surfing the net. that gives me peace.


and I think, my reason for not wanting to make friends is because I usually don't see people I flow with. people that love the same things I do. music, Movies, Novels, and other weird things. so, Cheers to being alone and loving it!

Estharfabian:


So, I'm not the only weirdo!

Xensity:

At least you agree you are a weirdo, and I don't mean your personality type.

So, what else is weird about me?

Estharfabian:

yomi007k:
I am jus a perfect example.


I suggest u keep loving ursef n keep getting better.


If u try to drag dirts into ur life, be ready to keep up wt d smell.



....hope u understand.

Xensity:


Let's see, you purport to be what you are not? You pretend to be hard as diamond, when you are actually as soft as butter. This isn't a weird trait, given that it's very common, but you go beyond the normal expression of this affection, by the resilience at which you affect this personality, even in the midst of criticism and derision. For most people, the veil drops at the first attempt at denigration, but for you, it just gets thicker. I find it disconcertingly intriguing.

Estharfabian:

Yes, yes. I'm jelly Asf. but I don't drop the veil after Numerous attempts because I usually don't give any fück about whatever happens online. Cyberspace is kinda like My space. Nothing gets to me because I usually don't feel anything. it's like I'm immune onhere.


so, Basically, this isn't really a facade. it's like two sides of a coin. you're seeing the other side.

Xensity:


Blah blah blah...

You see what I did there? It's called cold reading. You posit a a presumably authentic inference about a person's personality by using a generic descriptive framework and employing ambivalent descriptions that most certainly apply to majority of the human population. Of course almost everyone pretends to be strong on the outside but are soft on the inside. Duuurrrhhh!!

I actually know nothing about you. I just wanted to test my cold reading skills and it actually worked.

LOl.
there's nothing Cold about What you did there Smarty.

Estharfabian:

LOl.
there's nothing Cold about What you did there Smarty.

Xensity:


The 'cold' there doesn't indicate a literal meaning of the word. It's figurative.

Who are you calling smarty? I am as dumb as it gets. My colossal degree of intellectual incompetence is actually the sole insecurity I have about myself.

LoL.
I knew exactly what you meant smarty. I was trolling.




Eh, Why do you have to be..eh, grandiloquent all the time?

Estharfabian:

truthsayer007:
In life there should be a balance. Even as an Introvert, your social life should not be Zero. If you go out of your way to hang out more, Its a good thing.

There are level of friends, so its normal. There are deep close friends which are 1st level friends and There are friends you relate with but don't share vital info about yourself which is 2nd level friends. And the rest are just 3rd level which you hang out with, Drink & talk & people at place of work etc.

But always know when to draw the line ! Very Important.

Stop listening to people that tell you..Oh! you are like me, your are not alone in this. Brace yourself and embrace the nerves. People always want other people who are in their situations, so they won't feel alone. Failures always want others to fail with them.

Xensity:


Were you? Really? Were you? Stop calling me smarty.

This is actually how I express myself, especially when I discuss abstractions. I can't water down my writing even if I tried. Sorry.

eh, I think you just did. Smarty!

Alondra:
Are you insinuating that there is a failed personality? So one personality is unique to the other? An extrovert is better than the introvert?

When I read Xensity's post I thought at first " why is this dude taking this thread so seriously?" Why go so far?

But then your comment made me realize that some people really need those words to boost their low orientation.

Xensity:


How did I take the thread so seriously? And what does boosting one's orientation even mean? You think you can just combine a random adjective and a random noun and you automatically have a phrase that has a tenable meaning?

I never said I was an introvert, so your deduction is flawed. Also, if you actually can't see that no personality type is objectively better than the other, and that the value we ascribe to personality types is relative to cultural norms, then it's quite sad I must say.

I never said introverts shouldn't try to make friends and go out and do stuff, but the importance of doing all this is predicated on the social structures that have been erected in our present day society.

You are also failing to see that introversion as a personality type, confers inherent benefits that can prove to be useful in different field of life, especially academic and scientific fields, so defining introversion as a failed personality or drawing an analogy between it and failure like the guy above did, is quite foolish.

Alondra:
I only referred the guy to your post to know better than comparing between the two personalities. I never did that either, please read the post over again.

Xensity:


Oops. I must have inferred wrongly. Apologies.

Alondra:
We all make mistakes, No harm done. Good morning

Pls read the guy's comment and grab some real words out of it. You are the first I will see to utter such.

Op, how we perceive ourselves is essentially a product of our environment. There is no right or wrong personality. An extroverted personality has become sort of a prerequisite for functioning effectively without being perceived as odd in our present society, as a result of how our society has been structured and organized, and the social conventions it has occasioned. The extroverted personality is seen as attractive the same way "pencil trousers" are considered conventionally attractive for men, but that doesn't mean it's more objectively attractive than "baggy trousers" which was seen as attractive in the 90s. It's all cultural modulation. This is the same way the notions we have about our personalities and how we think we should behave changes with a shift in cultural norms.

But still, the reason why there are more extroverts than introverts is because extroverted traits conferred a huge survival advantage for our modern human ancestors when they lived in the wild, given that it's easier for a band of early humans who moved, played, chatted and hunted together to survive than for the loner who moved and hunted alone. So basically, extroverted traits got selected since the extroverted people were more likely to survive and pass down their genes. This evolutionary explanation for the disproportionate amount of extroverts compared to introverts seems a bit simplistic, but it's actually well subscribed in various academic fields. But like I'll always say, the prevalence of a particular behavior, personality or innate inclination doesn't make it any more normal than those that aren't as prevalent. This is a controversial view to hold, I know, but I can't attest for and defend it's veracity.
