      Because I can fake the appropriate social noise convincingly for short periods of time when this is required, I am frequently mistaken for an extrovert; however, the agonizing energy drain that results all too suddenly when I cannot disappear quickly enough from such forced situations inevitably reminds me of my truly introverted nature. For my part, Sartre nailed it in "No Exit" when he wrote, "Hell is other people" -- and it took another introvert to become my partner/best friend. (Cf. Goethe, no doubt an introvert himself: "Love is two solitudes that meet and protect and greet one another." _Amen._ )

    When I come into hiker towns to resupply, I get my little share of social interactions with others.
    Within a day or two I'm good to go for another two weeks of solitude on trail... The other hikers I meet on trail or in town seem to have a lot of my own characteristics...so pleasurable encounters.

My dad always told me keep my mouth shut and let everyone think I was stupid, better than opening my mouth and removing all doubt. He was such a encouragement to me and my brother ☹️. Now at 76 I know I'm quite bright, have a good mind and think and learn well. I started painting 6 years ago and I am absolutely in love with it. Have many interests and few friends.

    THANK GOD I'M AN INTROVERT!
    The biggest advantage of being an introvert is that we do not rely on other people for our happiness. In today's busy and impersonal world, people are nothing more than short-term, self-serving acquaintances looking for advantages from others rather than real freindship. This proves itself time and time again whether it's the workplace, schools, neighbors and sadly, even in church.
    Remember ... you will always learn more about people and life by using your eyes and ears rather than your mouth!

EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT F*CKING WEATHER IS IN THE MOMENT! But I think that such bullshit was invented by introverts in order to somehow communicate with extraverts.
      I dunno how to be a socially isolated introvert in countries with high quality of life, but in my country you have to answer the phone, go to work and communicate with people in order to make some money on living, no matter how introverted you are

    Being an introvert isnt as kool as you make it out to be. It can be very hard being an introvert in a society that prizes extroverts. You feel like an outcast many times, and being a pessimistic person it really is depressing. Especially when it comes to making money, because its not what you know, its who you know. In this society, popularity is more valuable than skill or knowledge. Social currency thats what they call it, and introverts are very poor in it. I know many people who were unqualified for a job position and got it anyways solely based on who they knew or popularity, while the hundreds of job applicants who were highly qualified for the position got passed up; same goes for promotions.

That allowed me to aquire my last ten years of employment, when finding any job for most machinists in California was very difficult. As you said it is who you know and few of the owners I had worked for had forgotten me.

    I absolutely can’t stand dry, superficial, meaningless conversations. Love and Hip Hop is a prime example. If it’s junk food, I immediately reject it.
    I have problems dating women, because most women seek to be the center of attention, there’s nothing interesting within their conversations, relationships lack intimacy, and basically there’s nothing attractive beyond physical dexterity.
    I have hardly any friends, because I refuse to settle for mediocrity. I refuse to live a life of ordinary means. I refuse to be a sheep, or carbon copied blueprint of whatever the latest trends/fads/word in the streets are.
    I refuse to conform.
    I’ve never preferred boring places like the club, strip clubs, wild parties, etc.
    That’s just for starters

There's this cute girl who lives near me who walks her dog alone but she seems VERY different then most women. She's sweet, never have I seen her on her phone . I have chatted a few times. I think she has a bf which is cool.. But she saw me the other day and was just staring smiling at me..I'm on the right path. You attract how you act

Although we introverts sometimes struggle to have our voices heard, our words become more valuable when we speak since we likely talk so infrequently to begin with.
