So basically, extroverts are annoying as *****. - wattznext, on 10/25/2007, -17/+142What if you have hemorrhoids? Wouldn't sitting down just create more problems?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+104i must be introverted because most people irritate the ***** out of me
- Bricks, on 10/10/2007, -8/+88I have a comment about this... but its just too exhausting to post. PM me if you want to exchange ideas about your feelings on the matter.
- agilesloth, on 10/10/2007, -1/+78A pretty good explanation of introverts. I liked the line "many actors, I've read, are introverts, and many introverts, when socializing, feel like actors". I hate how every social occasion makes me feel like I should be somebody I'm not.
- mtrip, on 10/10/2007, -1/+70My god is this article the truth. Introverts unite! Also, the headline is completely unrelated to the article, and of course the comments are also, since most of the people don't read the article at all. It's got nothing to do with sitting people, that's a single line that's completely besides the point.
- tunapez, on 10/10/2007, -1/+66Remember, someone you know, respect, and interact with every day is an introvert, and you are probably driving this person nuts."
Many times I've wished to interrupt with a "I don't caaaaaare! Just STFU for once!" But some people can't stop talking long enough to finish that statement, and then they're only thinking about what they're going to say next. - hammerpants, on 10/10/2007, -4/+66All that writing...you went so far...for nothing.
- DeFex, on 10/10/2007, -1/+56Four fifths of people would prefer it if you said "80%"
- KillerSoap, on 10/10/2007, -2/+54Hemorrhoids is the one-fifth of our troubles.
- RedViper1999, on 10/10/2007, -1/+46 Amazing how the first couple of posts obviously didn't read the article. Stupid extroverts.
- johnnynack, on 10/10/2007, -2/+46I don't think extrovert/introvert is as black and white as the author seems to imply. i can be the quietest person at the party, but in other situations not necessarily at a party, i will be a lively person. socialization, mood, confidence, etc. play a much bigger role.
- rhabd0mancer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+43I'm the same way.
We should get together and go bowling. - kuyakew, on 10/10/2007, -5/+47this article doesnt provide tips to help an introvert like the first few paragraphs says. it starts out nice but then became an angry bitter rant against extroverts near the middle and end.
then when you get to the part that may give some constructive opinion on how to help out introverts out there in the world... its only 3 sentences. - logophage, on 10/10/2007, -0/+34Common misconception. Introverts can be quite outgoing and social. The issue is what happens *afterwards*. Are you energized or enervated from social interaction. If you're energized, then you're probably an extrovert. If you're enervated, then you're probably an introvert.
- Worldchrisis, on 10/10/2007, -0/+34Very good thought. Introverts thrive on the internet, we don't get as much practice dealing with extroverts and adapting because we don't have to anymore.
- coldkodiak, on 10/10/2007, -2/+33An introvert is what an extrovert calls an annoying *****.
An extrovert is what an introvert calls an annoying *****.
clearly the world is just full of annoying *****, regardless. - qmeister, on 10/10/2007, -0/+30If you read it, what it says is that all introverts AREN'T anti-social, but they essentially need down time...alone time - and a lot of it. Being around people is draining. This article is pretty well on point.
- coldkodiak, on 10/10/2007, -1/+30Like wearing different masks for every different social encounter. I know the feeling.
- jguy584, on 10/10/2007, -0/+26The absolute worst is when you start to tell them something, and before you can even finish they start to reply, not caring at all that they are blatantly interrupting you. They then go on an on, getting off topic within 3 sentences, and despite you showing clear signs of having no interest, they just keep on going.
- Commonwealth, on 10/10/2007, -7/+32I'm sending this to all my friends that tell people that I will go to their parties without asking me if I actually want to. I HATE that. Also, is it just me or does this pretty much directly contrast with the front-page article about people being less happy these days. Maybe introverts just aren't forced to be extroverted as much now?
- kapsar, on 10/10/2007, -0/+24I think the biggest difference between a group of introverts and a group of extroverts, is that a group of introverts that have been good friends for a while, can sit for hours and not say anything and know that every one is enjoying themselves.
- xpar420x, on 10/10/2007, -0/+24We can just play online.
- monsterofNone, on 10/10/2007, -5/+29or you could do what most people do... start smoking and drinking when you're with people.
- OneLess, on 10/10/2007, -1/+25Article was definitely condescending, but still dugg up because it's nice to know there's other introverts out there and there's a "label" for it.
Also nice to know that there are others out there who think inane small talk and chatting for the sake of chatting is ridiculously annoying... - guitarplayer673, on 10/10/2007, -0/+23"We tend to think before talking, whereas extroverts tend to think by talking"
This is me exactly, I over-think everything that may or may not end up coming out of my mouth. - mrASSMAN, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20That really is a great quote.. in order to be perceived as normal I actually have to pretend to be an extrovert. It's exhausting and unbearable.
- libranlover, on 10/10/2007, -1/+20And those 3 sentences are all the tips you need. Seriously. You'd know that if you were an introvert. There is only one way to "help out introverts out there in the world": just STFU.
- Wrog, on 10/10/2007, -3/+22You get invited to.... Parties?
I never get invited anywhere. - mrASSMAN, on 10/10/2007, -0/+18Cool, same here.. I'm annoyed by just about everyone around me. No wonder I like being alone most of the time.
- halfabean, on 10/10/2007, -0/+18amen
- Mothrog, on 10/10/2007, -11/+27"Are introverts arrogant? Hardly. I suppose this common misconception has to do with our being more intelligent, more reflective, more independent, more level-headed, more refined, and more sensitive than extroverts."
Way to completely contradict yourself, assclown. - Shorties, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16I got invited to 2 parties my entire High School Career, and I didn't even go to the first one.
- monsterofNone, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16there are plenty of examples of site specific extroverts. mike myers describes himself as one. quiet and shy everywhere but the stage.
- kh99, on 10/10/2007, -3/+18Some of you assclowns are humor-impaired.
- justinjstark, on 10/10/2007, -3/+18You might get a bedsore.
- ZenMojo, on 10/10/2007, -3/+18I'm an introvert/extrovert. When I'm alone, I don't go out of my way to socialize, and even in social settings I'll sometimes stand in the corner, but if someone approaches me I suddenly become extroverted, and once I'm extroverted it's hard to put it back in the bottle.
- millerftw, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14Now i know why i hate people. Thanks DIGG!
- Metis2be, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13I loathe the people who complain that it's too quiet. Way to ***** ruin my moment, I worked long and hard to get you to shut up for just a second.
- kh99, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14I did read the entire article. I think he meant those things, but I also think it was intentionally written to contradict himself for humorous effect.
In general I think some people are taking the article too seriously. It's a light piece - It's not like it's a paper on introverts published in a psychology journal. - MacEnvy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13I had the same problem. It happened in Wal*Mart after several months of doing all-day-every-day meeting new people and being social at my (then) job. I had to leave the store because my wife said I was acting weird and creeping her out because of the masses of stupid people. After a few times of this happening, I actually ended up changing jobs.
Weed helps. - DrMonkeyLove, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12But we don't care, because we'd rather be alone than have some bitch going, "blah, blah, blah..." all night long.
- Battleloser, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13Flex your buttocks
- monsterofNone, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11introversion isn't a personality disorder. it's just a type of personality. like, say, an asshat. not a disorder. just a type.
- justinjstark, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10http://duggmirror.com/health/Four_fifths_of_all_our_troubles_would_disappear_if_we_would_only_sit_down/
- brundlefly76, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10You go to the worst parties ever.
- Elistra, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Spoken like a true extrovert.
- PlaidPhantom, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Very true. I'm always running hypothetical conversations in my head on the (usually microscopic) chanced that I have that conversation. Then, after running through various responses, I can't remember which answer is my actual opinion. :(
- jakerockvell, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10A great majority of geniuses the world has ever known were extreme introverts. A great majority of scum the world has ever known were flamboyant extroverts.
- Jonjonr6, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Parties are over-rated. I mean, most parties end up with people getting pissed off at someone who's too drunk and end up leaving. And never have expectations when going to a party, cause they'll never happen. I've been to a party with me and my best friend, and 7 girls, all drinking. Do you think anyone got laid? Hell no.
