I'm actually the combination of the four of them -I feel shy and anxious(fast heart rate and shaking)especially when I'm the center of attraction -Daydreaming or getting lost in thought was one of my habits -I am also not good at interacting on new people but feel comfortable with some people I'm close with -I also don't like change, it makes me feel sick for an unknown reason Well guess I'm a certified introvert🤷
i’m also a mix of all of them! i fit all of the ones you say except i do enjoy communicating, but it’s definitely draining, and i get “shy” as well, it’s definitely scary at times.
Same :( Because of my character i find difficulty in talking to others because they don't understand what i am saying and i find hard to explain what i meant🙃.... :(
It's so good for an introvert to know themselves and secondly, it's even better for others around an introvert cuz it's so important to know who are you dealing with, I'm in a third world country and my parents literally think I'm " retarded" cuz I don't enjoy being among ppl all day, so I guess these kinda vids really help people's awareness about introverts and I do appreciate it a lot♥️🙏
I feel you. I'm also mostly quiet in family event so people ask my parents why does you daughter not speak and some when i started speaking told me that they thought I was being arrogant and stuck up.
@@jahmai6441 well you're right, that proves they don't have information about this and that's not good specially when I can't get them to know more, because they are mostly a know-it-all kinda person. The pressure, struggle and way too many other problems would be provided and I'm the one whose gonna face them everytime, by myself...
I'm a restrained and definitely thinking introvert. I could sit in a dark room by myself for hours just analyzing how my life experiences have shaped me into the person I am and constantly thinking. My partner willl often say I think too much. I go to bed but end up thinking for hours until I finally pass out. Therapists used to tell me I have a lot of personal insight/introspection. Also, I can be spontaneous with myself but mostly I have to have a plan to do anything because I have to physically and (most importantly) mentally prepare myself for interacting with the world. Being an introvert can be exhausting but I will say finding other introverts is the best thing because we understand when we cancel plans last minute or don't respond to a message for days at a time. iykyk
I’m kinda a mix of both social and an anxious introvert…? If I’m out for too long I always just end up staring at the ground or I just look around me while waiting for an event to be over
sigh, it's really hard right? I stopped being friends with some girls because I was emotionally drained at that time, and not to mention felt extremely uncomfortable while meeting new people. Though that was a few years ago... And if I'm not wrong, are you feeling a bit anxious with... well, um all this people liking your comment? If so, then don't mind us we just feel relatable.
I am so greatfull to this channel. I have always wanted to know more about my personality so that I know what kind of friends I should be looking and a bit confident that this is normal I am not weird. Keep up the good work!!
I used to be nervous and afraid when talking to other people, as stated by Psych2Go about anxiety disorders in this video. But now, I'm starting to realize I don't need to be that nervous. Although I'm still not good at communication, but I try to be more relaxed when I'm with other people. Feels like my world has become more beautiful and fun when i starting realize it :)
I've always thought I was a ambivert. Because of how much I was okay with socializing, but would get overwhelmed easily. Now seeing this it makes more sense that I act more like a social introvert
I realized that I am a social introvert as well as a thinking introvert. It bothers me so much when people tell me that I am an extrovert and not an introvert.
These 4 types became the stages of my life. When I was very young I was a restrained introvert. But as I got into elementary and high school I made friends and became the shy introvert. I like to spend time with them but oftentimes I want to get back to my own private world aka my room. By the time I was in college I became the thinking introvert. I became more observant of my environment and developed a deeper understanding of how things work. Now that I'm working and have met different personalities I've become the social introvert. I get along with coworkers at parties or other gatherings but after a long day it would require me to recharge. So yeah.
Honestly I’d say I’m a mixture of a social and restrained introvert, with my anxiety disorders leading to me possessing traits of an anxious introvert. I’ve always said I’m an extroverted introvert. I’m private and quieter around most, but around those I’m close with and trust, I’m loud as can be.
Why am I always misunderstood when I try to speak? Like I know what I'm trying to say, but any time I talk to others it's impossible to convey any idea without confusing them.
I used to get so excited about what I was talking about that I’d start a sentence and then before I’d finish, my thoughts would shift to the next idea and I’d start a new sentence, and pretty soon what I was saying was a bunch of half sentences, half ideas and no one knew what I was saying. Not sure if this is your problem, but I solved it by making sure I completed every sentence/point I intended to make, and then pausing before I moved on to my next sentence or point.
I’m literally all four of these. XDD But I think I’m closest to social and restrained introvert right now. I was more of a thinking and anxious introvert in school/work settings. I think that, all in all, it really depends on the day or situation for me. I guess I’m a “true introvert”. XD
I’ve been more of a combination of a thinking introvert and a social introvert. It drives me nuts when people tell me that I am an ambivert or an extrovert. Like I honestly need and even crave my alone time and I can stimulate myself better when I am alone. Especially because I grew up with struggles with my social skills, it’s been very frustrating for me to make friends, so I’ve become very content with being by myself and sometimes I end up being restrained. I have spastic hemiplegia cerebral palsy, ADHD, anxiety, and persistent depressive disorder, which causes me to struggle with making strong friendships and be able to understand social behaviors sometimes. I always say that I am “selectively social” and I choose my friends wisely.
I feel that I have changed what type I am throughout my life. As a child I was very much a thinking introvert, I didn’t mind socializing but I preferred my own little world. As I grew into a teenager I turned into an anxious introvert. I always over analyzed everything I did and replayed social interactions in my head till it made me sick. In a way I was still a bit of a thinking introvert, because my automatic self defense was to escape back into my own little world again. As a young Adult I slowed edged out of the anxious stage and turned into a restrained Introvert. If I had knowledge in advance of social events I would love going, but sudden invites and sudden change terrified me. Now as I creep closer to the beginning of being a full fledged adult (30), I am much more outgoing in social groups (more so when I am among my friends or people with the same interests) and most people are surprised to find out I’m and introvert.
I find myself being a mix between an anxious and a restrained introvert. I plan every social event weeks or even months ahead- if something comes up to fast I despise it and usually will come up with an excuse not to go- and throughout the event I focus less on enjoying my time and more meticulously planning everything so that is goes perfectly right. If even the slightest thing goes wrong, I associate the problem with the event and will likely avoid it and regret attempting it for years to come.
I relate to the thinking, shy and restrained introvert. It is a mixture of all three but I mostly relate to the thinking and restrained introvert. I open up to a very few select of people. I have have never really opened up to friends, I like my privacy and am a firm believer in "people do not need to know everything about you". I try to open up just enough for people to see the surface. I also spend most of the time in my own head, day dreaming. Sometimes it's in the middle of a conversation. But I have been trying to figure out ways to break that habit.
i always thought i was a "fake introvert" because i wasnt anxious in social situations, at least to the extent of others. Glad to know I was just a social introvert the entire time 😁
It's always nice to understand myself just a little bit kore without having to sacrifice hours of research in some direction. Definitely fit into the Social Introvert. 😎
I'm a mix of Thinking and Restrained. My mind is always active, I keep a constant inner dialogue going, and I've been told I think things through too much. I also like routine, planning things out in advance, and have been told I'm inflexible. Yep!!😆
I'm somewhere between a social introvert and a thinking introvert. I'm comfortable in social situations even though I don't prefer them, but you can often find me daydreaming
I’m most definitely the social introvert and the thinking introvert. I constantly am in my head but I love to talk, but it’s also very draining. This was very relatable. Thank you Psych2Go!
I’m a mix of the social introvert and the thinking introvert. I actually have 8 friends, not sure how, but I’m only talkative around one of them. My mind is also always racing with thoughts during school, when I don’t talk.
I knew at some point the animations will improve to a smooth continuous motion and here it is. I'm also suspecting future videos are totally gonna be like this as it'll look very professional. Improvement is one of the things everyone has to do at some point and I see it kind of similar to adapting when in different scenarios. See you Psych2Goers on the flip side. 😁
i can a mix of the four of them from time to time but i definitely fall more on the side of anxious and restrained introversion. i feel really uncomfortable in a lot of social events for the most part, my anxiety just overwhelms me, and messing up my routine or big changes definitely freak me out. but i’ve accepted who i am and i’m proud to be.. well.. me.
I think I am a social introvert, because as much as I really love communicating and spending time with people (sometimes even being the center of attention), I definitely get my energy from alone time. The problem is, I have social anxiety disorder so it's really difficult for me to branch out, and I tend to frequently question myself and my social behaviors.
I can say I'm a combination of the social and anxious.It is true that I love socializing and being around specifically that group of friends, but i definitely find myself getting drained after too much time and feel the need to recharge alone. Anxious I do indeed get,I get nervous in new setting and find myself replaying what I said and cringing at myself.
I’m mostly a social introvert for the part of being very open with my close friends, but I don’t like being around people I don’t know, and will get anxiety when I’m being put in a situation with people I don’t know, in including family members I see in very now and again but don’t really know.
I am a social and thinking introvert! I am open only to people I trust, but I never share anything private about myself, regardless of how much I like that person (platonically).
I relate to being an restrained Introvert, I tend to fall into a routine, I'm not big on change and when something does have to change it always feels exhausting to make those changes and like a challenge. I don't just go out someplace for no reason I always feel like I need a reason / plan to go somewhere and treat it like a check list and my reward is to simply escape back home to the place I feel most comfortable. Though I also share some aspects of the social introvert since I have a routine of meeting up with those who are considered my closest friends and more comfortably interact / share / and make conversation with them, mind you a little aggressively at times I assume because it's 1 time a week I meet with them, and if I had to phase the feeling as an analogy I'd say it like a being in a desert and that 1 social day opportunity is the first glass of water I've seen in weeks. Though If our scheduled hang outs are canceled I do feel disappointed but just fall back into my home habits and hope for the best the next week.
🙋♀️ - 10% anxious and 90% restrained introvert. All the details about restrained introvert is so me and the part where i replay some of the events/words and think what I could have done better from the anxious type
Definitely a thinking introvert with little sprinkles of social introvert. I love this channel, sincere thanks for helping people figure out their own personalities and have a better understanding of the world around them.
I knew about all of these introvert types and when I explain my friends about how I’m a social introvert they were super confused so I had to explain what a introvert was (thanks for making this, this helped me figure out who I am
Hey this was a very interesting video. I related to all four types so I guess I'm a overachieving introvert!! Thanks for the very educational post! (-:
I think I'm a social introvert. I can be talkative and spontaneous to a ridiculous degree, but the moment my battery runs out, it's like a literal switch and I'm disinterested in virtually everything and spend large amounts of time completely alone.
I'm especially more of an social introvert, my liking for socializing tends to be limited to only a small select few people I've grown close with, although I'm generally more reserved then outgoing and my close friends at rare times get to see my more wild and outgoing side because I feel much more comfortable and secure around them.
It feels like I'm in the middle of all four of them. Even with friends, I still feel shy and not always talk. I'd say I'm mostly the thinking type. It's been a long time since I've been around a lot of other people, but not completely against social settings, especially with just a few close friends. I'm usually seen as reserved for hardly talking while outside, but not really restrained.
I have a few traits from all those types as it tends to alternate from time to time. I’d definitely say I’m more of the restrained introvert cause the hating change definitely hits home. But slowly learning more about myself by forcing myself to do things I would normally not do such as going to social interactions and sticking to plans I actually made with people instead of making up excuses
I’m pretty sure I am introvert 2. I am really happy that you made this video, because I am struggling with this for already a pretty long time. I like socializing but I am always worried i do something wrong, I also look really shy when I am not with close people. I was struggling with why I felt like a introvert but didn’t completely act as one. But I am really happy know that a found a character that I feel comfortable with🥰
What!?! Thank you so much! I’m the animator of this video and I’ve honestly been struggling with my self esteem regarding my animation and videos lately! You’ve helped me so much know, I hope this video helped you too 😭
@@Cap0verkil oh yes absolutely!! i'm sorry the struggle has been real recently. this is absolutely amazing, & i admire you creating through the struggle
@@trickynikki5044 thank you so much! The current video I’m working on for Psych2Go is 7 Types of Crushes You Should Avoid, keep an eye out for it. Hopefully that can help you too! And thank you again for your kind words. Means a lot to me
I’m social and restrained because I only talk to my friends and when I do I never shut up, but I hate talking to anyone else who I don’t know (that’s why I hate party’s and other things like that) and I always keep a routine of what I’m doing
I might be a thinking introvert, I just like to make my own world in my head and think of my own perspectives on the real world sometimes. I rarely share them with others unless I fully get to know them for who they are.
Thinking and restrained come closest to me, really. Although the restrained(and anxious) one can be from bad experiences, and at some point brain damage(when i was 11) making me unable to deal with stress too long. So from nature (like i was as a kid) i'd be a thinking one... nerd :P Questioning everything was annoying to the grownups, and barely had friends, and was bullied by a guy who wasn't raised well by his aggressive father... and his mother didn't seem to care enough, i think. I'm not like your regular nerdy guys, i'm a mix of nerd and tough guy, as both parents gave me some of their better sides, too. And my father said i was a lot like his father, who was way more reserved, honest(not always possible, though), logical(mostly this for me), and very genuine. But hearing from my father about this man, makes me realize that man would've been liked way more than i am nowadays. I had to become stronger to not fall into abyss mentally, as people were not honest with me, and when i became more mature, i realized not taht many are honest and open, while a nerdy guy like myself needs that, to learn about people, so i'd know who to avoid and how to be with better people than those i'd avoid. Sorry, got carried away... happens often XD This happens a lot, which is why i'm "daydreaming" according to others. As kid i couldn't lie, and still bad at it, unless it's necessary, but still doesn't feel good. Thinking about a lot related to the topic i'm typing about, thinking about how i wanna live in the future... and i can't control it much, it just happens as i breathe... very annoying when i come up with something at night. And before i have another lifestory XD i'll stop typing now, haha! Thanks for the video, once again.
I'm the Thinking, Anxious & Restrained Introvert. But I also have anxiety/panic disorder & depression. I have to work 10x harder than the average person just to get out the door & be able to live amongst others. Funny thing is, I like interacting & conversing with others. I like to learn new, helpful, interesting & useful things. I especially like hearing about others lives. Because it helps me get to know them better & I genuinely care about their story. And if I am able to make a new friend, it helps to know how I am able to be there whenever they may need someone. Of course, it would be nice if they did the same. So far, none have. Although there were a surprising sporadic few I have encountered, mostly I just get used & abandoned. I'm learning more about boundaries though & making sure to take care of myself. Or else I won't be able to do anything at all. That's me though.
Y'know I think I fit the social introvert since the description of it really describes how I was but at the same time, I think I also fit the thinking and restrained one.
I'm kinda both anxious and social introvert.I like being with like 2 best friends around me most of the time,but i rarely speak when theres more than 5 people in one group.
I love this! I'm social and thinking introvert with a little bit of restrained. I hate last minute invitations and do not like to be rushed 🙅🏾♀️ If something is planned then I can go out and socialize but then need to disappear into my own world and recharge for a couple weeks 🛌🏾
I'm usually a pretty even mix of social and thinking, especially since I found friends where I could just be myself. No judging and no being misunderstood. We don't always have to have the same opinion or even need to understand the way the other one is, we can just accept that people are different and celebrate it. Since then, I absolutely also need to be social sometimes to recharge. Saw this best under lockdown, after about 3 months of barely ever being social I felt like going insane. 😂 But I also need my time to think alone and need to really experience my feelings in order to get through the negative ones. But lately I noticed that having less and less direct contact with my friends and having to work more with colleagues again let me be somewhat more restrained. I used to work alone in my company for about 2 years and I always were so happy to meet my friends or even new people in the right setting. But now I crave to be alone for 2 days as soon as Friday roles in. 😅
I am definitely a retrained introvert, but I definitely have qualities of the other 3. Thank you for this video, your videos help me understand myself so much. I am now understanding, a little late in my life, that it's ok to be an introvert.😊🥰
I'm a thinking introvert,because I always daydreaming,like all time and also all the other things this video explain about the thinking introvert,All of it is perfectly fit with me
When I was younger I used to with Shy / Social it’s was so hard for me to picked up conversation or keeps the conversation going … so I stayed quite most of the time as full adult now I’ve had gotten better over the time .. I still some what battle with it. I did see some results now I kinda of help every people who’s was once in my shoes .
For me, I'm actually a mix of all of them, I might have a lot of close friends, and seem like an extrovert, but I usually get really scared during events, even with close friends there, I usually keep to myself, drawing, or thinking of random stuff, sure I might get along with people, but it doesn't mean I want to, since I don't know much about them, it gets really awkward.
I can relate to all of these types. I used to be an anxious introvert due to bullying when I was in high school (I learned to fight back and regained my confidence). But forced myself to be more social. I'm more like a Thinking Introvert that can be social if needed, I still feel anxious sometimes and gets drained in a social setting if I stayed too long. Because of COVID-19, I became more comfortable inside my home than the outside and started avoiding events and social gatherings that I used to attend with my friends. I'm also an empath and can't stand negativity, toxicity and drama. I usually avoid negative or toxic people (specially drama enjoyers and creators) whenever I can. Drama queens are the reason why I became single for 4 years now, I hate them.
Wow, I thought I was an ambivert but, I think now that I relate more to the social introvert. I really like interaction, but it tires me much if it's not between close friends, or almost one person at a time. I certainly need charging times too and I have a lot "lonely hobbies", but I appreciate them most when I exchange a couple of messages with friends while taking my time to get ready to get out in the world again.
I don't know any of you guys but....I know if you were watching this video then you doubt yourself about your social life and anxiety..... .. y'all... I just I want to tell you that don't keep pressuring yourself and don't let anyone to do so... Concentrate on enjoying your life other then watching others life ... Because when we mesmerize others peoples life ...our mind somehow compares and copies it.... So be you and stay strong.....❤️
Seem to be heavily 2 and 4 with a little of 3 and not a lot of 4. Like my routine and having things planned in advance, not spur of the moment. Ruminate on every social encounter I have and what I did wrong or could have done better. In a social setting will just sit quietly and be to myself for the most part unless someone calls on me.
Which type of introverts, do you relate to? Anxious, Restrained, Thinking or Social?
anxious i think
Anxious definitely.
Anxious and Thinking
Yes, all of the above, mostly restrained though

I plan every social event weeks or even months ahead- if something comes up to fast I despise it and usually will come up with an excuse not to go- and throughout the event I focus less on enjoying my time and more meticulously planning everything so that is goes perfectly right. If even the slightest thing goes wrong, I associate the problem with the event and will likely avoid it and regret attempting it for years to come.
I relate to the thinking, shy and restrained introvert. It is a mixture of all three but I mostly relate to the thinking and restrained introvert. I open up to a very few select of people. I have have never really opened up to friends, I like my privacy and am a firm believer in "people do not need to know everything about you". I try to open up just enough for people to see the surface. I also spend most of the time in my own head, day dreaming. Sometimes it's in the middle of a conversation. But I have been trying to figure out ways to break that habit.
i always thought i was a "fake introvert" because i wasnt anxious in social situations, at least to the extent of others. Glad to know I was just a social introvert the entire time 😁
Same here!
Combination of social and restrained introvert there. I've never thought about those types, and this vid has been extremely helpful. Thanks, Psych2Go!
It's always nice to understand myself just a little bit kore without having to sacrifice hours of research in some direction. Definitely fit into the Social Introvert. 😎
I'm a mix of Thinking and Restrained. My mind is always active, I keep a constant inner dialogue going, and I've been told I think things through too much. I also like routine, planning things out in advance, and have been told I'm inflexible. Yep!!😆
I'm somewhere between a social introvert and a thinking introvert. I'm comfortable in social situations even though I don't prefer them, but you can often find me daydreaming
I honestly experience the same thing.
I’m most definitely the social introvert and the thinking introvert. I constantly am in my head but I love to talk, but it’s also very draining. This was very relatable. Thank you Psych2Go!
I was confused between being an introvert and an extrovert, but thanks to this video I know now that I'm a social introvert.
Thank you Psych2Go 🤗
I’m a mix of the social introvert and the thinking introvert. I actually have 8 friends, not sure how, but I’m only talkative around one of them. My mind is also always racing with thoughts during school, when I don’t talk.
I knew at some point the animations will improve to a smooth continuous motion and here it is.
I'm also suspecting future videos are totally gonna be like this as it'll look very professional. Improvement is one of the things everyone has to do at some point and I see it kind of similar to adapting when in different scenarios.
See you Psych2Goers on the flip side. 😁
i can a mix of the four of them from time to time but i definitely fall more on the side of anxious and restrained introversion. i feel really uncomfortable in a lot of social events for the most part, my anxiety just overwhelms me, and messing up my routine or big changes definitely freak me out. but i’ve accepted who i am and i’m proud to be.. well.. me.
I always find my answer here In this channel ☺️
I think I am a social introvert, because as much as I really love communicating and spending time with people (sometimes even being the center of attention), I definitely get my energy from alone time. The problem is, I have social anxiety disorder so it's really difficult for me to branch out, and I tend to frequently question myself and my social behaviors.
I'm both an anxious introvert and a restrained introvert. Thanks for the helpful video! It really helps me to discover more about myself.
I can say I'm a combination of the social and anxious.It is true that I love socializing and being around specifically that group of friends, but i definitely find myself getting drained after too much time and feel the need to recharge alone. Anxious I do indeed get,I get nervous in new setting and find myself replaying what I said and cringing at myself.
I’m mostly a social introvert for the part of being very open with my close friends, but I don’t like being around people I don’t know, and will get anxiety when I’m being put in a situation with people I don’t know, in including family members I see in very now and again but don’t really know.
I am a social and thinking introvert! I am open only to people I trust, but I never share anything private about myself, regardless of how much I like that person (platonically).
I relate to being an restrained Introvert, I tend to fall into a routine, I'm not big on change and when something does have to change it always feels exhausting to make those changes and like a challenge. I don't just go out someplace for no reason I always feel like I need a reason / plan to go somewhere and treat it like a check list and my reward is to simply escape back home to the place I feel most comfortable. Though I also share some aspects of the social introvert since I have a routine of meeting up with those who are considered my closest friends and more comfortably interact / share / and make conversation with them, mind you a little aggressively at times I assume because it's 1 time a week I meet with them, and if I had to phase the feeling as an analogy I'd say it like a being in a desert and that 1 social day opportunity is the first glass of water I've seen in weeks. Though If our scheduled hang outs are canceled I do feel disappointed but just fall back into my home habits and hope for the best the next week.
Kind of a mix of social and restrained based on these descriptions. Thank you for this video!
I really loved your videos about introverts 😍💜💜💜looking forward to more videos about introverts
Thinking introvert with social anxiety here :]
I cant explain how much this channel has helped me 🥰 Thank you, Psych2Go. I appreciate your work ❤
I was restrained when I was around 12 until I got older, I became a 50-50 between a social introvert and a thinking introvert.
I've always been an introvert, pretty sure I'm a shy & restrained one, thanks psych2go, great little video
Same!
🙋♀️ - 10% anxious and 90% restrained introvert. All the details about restrained introvert is so me and the part where i replay some of the events/words and think what I could have done better from the anxious type
I’m the same way
Definitely a thinking introvert with little sprinkles of social introvert. I love this channel, sincere thanks for helping people figure out their own personalities and have a better understanding of the world around them.
Same here.
I knew about all of these introvert types and when I explain my friends about how I’m a social introvert they were super confused so I had to explain what a introvert was (thanks for making this, this helped me figure out who I am
Hey this was a very interesting video. I related to all four types so I guess I'm a overachieving introvert!! Thanks for the very educational post! (-:
I am a social introvert. The description is aligned with my personality, so cool!
I think I'm a social introvert. I can be talkative and spontaneous to a ridiculous degree, but the moment my battery runs out, it's like a literal switch and I'm disinterested in virtually everything and spend large amounts of time completely alone.
I'm especially more of an social introvert, my liking for socializing tends to be limited to only a small select few people I've grown close with, although I'm generally more reserved then outgoing and my close friends at rare times get to see my more wild and outgoing side because I feel much more comfortable and secure around them.
It feels like I'm in the middle of all four of them. Even with friends, I still feel shy and not always talk. I'd say I'm mostly the thinking type. It's been a long time since I've been around a lot of other people, but not completely against social settings, especially with just a few close friends. I'm usually seen as reserved for hardly talking while outside, but not really restrained.
I have a few traits from all those types as it tends to alternate from time to time. I’d definitely say I’m more of the restrained introvert cause the hating change definitely hits home. But slowly learning more about myself by forcing myself to do things I would normally not do such as going to social interactions and sticking to plans I actually made with people instead of making up excuses
I’m so happy you posted again. Your voice is so calming!
I’m pretty sure I am introvert 2. I am really happy that you made this video, because I am struggling with this for already a pretty long time. I like socializing but I am always worried i do something wrong, I also look really shy when I am not with close people. I was struggling with why I felt like a introvert but didn’t completely act as one. But I am really happy know that a found a character that I feel comfortable with🥰
i love all of it, but this is personally the best animation i've seen on this channel!
What!?! Thank you so much! I’m the animator of this video and I’ve honestly been struggling with my self esteem regarding my animation and videos lately!
You’ve helped me so much know, I hope this video helped you too 😭
@@Cap0verkil oh yes absolutely!! i'm sorry the struggle has been real recently. this is absolutely amazing, & i admire you creating through the struggle
@@trickynikki5044 thank you so much! The current video I’m working on for Psych2Go is 7 Types of Crushes You Should Avoid, keep an eye out for it. Hopefully that can help you too! And thank you again for your kind words. Means a lot to me
I’m social and restrained because I only talk to my friends and when I do I never shut up, but I hate talking to anyone else who I don’t know (that’s why I hate party’s and other things like that) and I always keep a routine of what I’m doing
I am not particularly any one type of introvert but i am in between anxious and social introvert😁
Loved it Psych2Go🦋
I might be a thinking introvert, I just like to make my own world in my head and think of my own perspectives on the real world sometimes. I rarely share them with others unless I fully get to know them for who they are.
Yay I’m a social introvert, that explains a lot that is hard for me to explain to others. Nice vid by the way
The thinking and social introvert definetly resonate with me the most
The introvert that's all 4 types: UNLIMITED POWERRRRRR
Thinking and restrained come closest to me, really.
Although the restrained(and anxious) one can be from bad experiences, and at some point brain damage(when i was 11) making me unable to deal with stress too long.
So from nature (like i was as a kid) i'd be a thinking one... nerd :P
Questioning everything was annoying to the grownups, and barely had friends, and was bullied by a guy who wasn't raised well by his aggressive father... and his mother didn't seem to care enough, i think.
I'm not like your regular nerdy guys, i'm a mix of nerd and tough guy, as both parents gave me some of their better sides, too.
And my father said i was a lot like his father, who was way more reserved, honest(not always possible, though), logical(mostly this for me), and very genuine.
But hearing from my father about this man, makes me realize that man would've been liked way more than i am nowadays.
I had to become stronger to not fall into abyss mentally, as people were not honest with me, and when i became more mature, i realized not taht many are honest and open, while a nerdy guy like myself needs that, to learn about people, so i'd know who to avoid and how to be with better people than those i'd avoid.
Sorry, got carried away... happens often XD
This happens a lot, which is why i'm "daydreaming" according to others.
As kid i couldn't lie, and still bad at it, unless it's necessary, but still doesn't feel good.
Thinking about a lot related to the topic i'm typing about, thinking about how i wanna live in the future... and i can't control it much, it just happens as i breathe... very annoying when i come up with something at night.
And before i have another lifestory XD i'll stop typing now, haha!
Thanks for the video, once again.
I'm the Thinking, Anxious & Restrained Introvert. But I also have anxiety/panic disorder & depression. I have to work 10x harder than the average person just to get out the door & be able to live amongst others. Funny thing is, I like interacting & conversing with others. I like to learn new, helpful, interesting & useful things. I especially like hearing about others lives. Because it helps me get to know them better & I genuinely care about their story. And if I am able to make a new friend, it helps to know how I am able to be there whenever they may need someone. Of course, it would be nice if they did the same. So far, none have. Although there were a surprising sporadic few I have encountered, mostly I just get used & abandoned. I'm learning more about boundaries though & making sure to take care of myself. Or else I won't be able to do anything at all. That's me though.
Excellent! I’ve been doing doctoral research on this topic, and this is a great explanation! Thank you!!
I feel that I’m the anxious thinking introvert, this also made me realize how bad my social anxiety really is.
THANK YOU Psych2Go
Y'know I think I fit the social introvert since the description of it really describes how I was but at the same time, I think I also fit the thinking and restrained one.
Social, thinking, and anxious are definitely the ones I relate to more.
Her voice is so frickin soft and soothing that I can fall asleep right away .
I'm definitely a mix between 1 and 2!
you know what kind of introvert I am that one friend who would stay in the cemetery rather than a group of people
First! And this is a good video. So calming and very informative
I'm a shy extrovert, new people give me anxiety but being with people I know I get energized and happier
I'm more of a mixture of anxious, restrained and thinking. Mostly thinking tho, live the vid!!!
I'm kinda both anxious and social introvert.I like being with like 2 best friends around me most of the time,but i rarely speak when theres more than 5 people in one group.
I love this! I'm social and thinking introvert with a little bit of restrained. I hate last minute invitations and do not like to be rushed 🙅🏾♀️ If something is planned then I can go out and socialize but then need to disappear into my own world and recharge for a couple weeks 🛌🏾
I'm usually a pretty even mix of social and thinking, especially since I found friends where I could just be myself. No judging and no being misunderstood.
We don't always have to have the same opinion or even need to understand the way the other one is, we can just accept that people are different and celebrate it. Since then, I absolutely also need to be social sometimes to recharge.
Saw this best under lockdown, after about 3 months of barely ever being social I felt like going insane. 😂
But I also need my time to think alone and need to really experience my feelings in order to get through the negative ones.
But lately I noticed that having less and less direct contact with my friends and having to work more with colleagues again let me be somewhat more restrained. I used to work alone in my company for about 2 years and I always were so happy to meet my friends or even new people in the right setting.
But now I crave to be alone for 2 days as soon as Friday roles in. 😅
Same here!
Definitely a social introvert. Who'd have thought 😊
Same here!
For me I'm a little mix of all of them, but mainly a restrained but social introvert
Restrained and thinking both hold traits for me I am a deep thinker but also am likely to keep to as much a self schedule as I can.
I am definitely a retrained introvert, but I definitely have qualities of the other 3. Thank you for this video, your videos help me understand myself so much. I am now understanding, a little late in my life, that it's ok to be an introvert.😊🥰
.Hello it's work,s I can't believe he come back to me am so happy..............
+2347055907423⏯⏯⏯⏯ Hello it's works I can't believe am with my love again after so many years of break-up ........
I'm a thinking introvert,because I always daydreaming,like all time and also all the other things this video explain about the thinking introvert,All of it is perfectly fit with me
When I was younger I used to with Shy / Social it’s was so hard for me to picked up conversation or keeps the conversation going … so I stayed quite most of the time as full adult now I’ve had gotten better over the time .. I still some what battle with it. I did see some results now I kinda of help every people who’s was once in my shoes .
For me, I'm actually a mix of all of them, I might have a lot of close friends, and seem like an extrovert, but I usually get really scared during events, even with close friends there, I usually keep to myself, drawing, or thinking of random stuff, sure I might get along with people, but it doesn't mean I want to, since I don't know much about them, it gets really awkward.
I'm mostly a social introvert but sometimes I'm the rest too depending on the situation
I relate to all 4 of these types, except not as much as the third one, I think all introverts are thoughtful and in tune with their thoughts.
I’m more of a social introvert but I share traits of all the other types as well.
Upset, frightened, angry at all the things happy.
I can relate to all of these types. I used to be an anxious introvert due to bullying when I was in high school (I learned to fight back and regained my confidence). But forced myself to be more social. I'm more like a Thinking Introvert that can be social if needed, I still feel anxious sometimes and gets drained in a social setting if I stayed too long.
Because of COVID-19, I became more comfortable inside my home than the outside and started avoiding events and social gatherings that I used to attend with my friends. I'm also an empath and can't stand negativity, toxicity and drama. I usually avoid negative or toxic people (specially drama enjoyers and creators) whenever I can. Drama queens are the reason why I became single for 4 years now, I hate them.
Wow, I thought I was an ambivert but, I think now that I relate more to the social introvert. I really like interaction, but it tires me much if it's not between close friends, or almost one person at a time. I certainly need charging times too and I have a lot "lonely hobbies", but I appreciate them most when I exchange a couple of messages with friends while taking my time to get ready to get out in the world again.
I'm definitely a social introvert but I am a thinking introvert a lot of times
Im a social introvert and I love company. And i also love my solitude and self care.
I'm a anxious introvert and an INFP too. Oh my goodness, what a great combo! 😤
I don't know any of you guys but....I know if you were watching this video then you doubt yourself about your social life and anxiety.....
.. y'all... I just I want to tell you that don't keep pressuring yourself and don't let anyone to do so...
Concentrate on enjoying your life other then watching others life ...
Because when we mesmerize others peoples life ...our mind somehow compares and copies it....
So be you and stay strong.....❤️
Seem to be heavily 2 and 4 with a little of 3 and not a lot of 4. Like my routine and having things planned in advance, not spur of the moment. Ruminate on every social encounter I have and what I did wrong or could have done better. In a social setting will just sit quietly and be to myself for the most part unless someone calls on me.
I was more a social introvert before, but now I am more a thinking and anxious introvert.
