I actually don't, for me being invited to something that i don't want to participate is a nightmare, because i have to say no and the person might think i am an asshole Also, i don't like making excuses, i don't know how to make that and i hate lying.

@@Psych2go for us introverts, could you make a video with the answers to questions nr. 2 and 3, and how do people who are not introverts perceive the world around them ?
@@AutomaticDuck300yeah, maybe you can spend time with people a little longer and are a bit more confident talking with new people. you might be an ambrivert, though!
It’s like someone read my thoughts. I’ve accepted that I’m an introvert, but it makes me sad that I always get misunderstood in a negative way because of my introversion. I feel judged. In spite of all this I totally relate to this video.
I can relate to your response because there are times where people thought I was nonchalant, angry or don't want to be bothered and I can feel totally the opposite.
It is sad that the world struggles to accept introverts.... Personally, I don't think I will be able to TRUELY understand it as a did a personality test, and I'm only 55% introverted... Though, I am a deep thinker who is good at putting myself in others' shoes. If you want my advice, take being an introvert as a way of the world guiding you to find TRUE friends that care about you more deeply than most... Having more friends usually means that the quality of the friendship will decrease, so really, it just a waiting game to find a good communicator.... and I don't think an introvert will struggle with waiting with as active a mind as you guys have!
funny thing is when I was in KinderGarden and Senior KinderGarden, I was so shy that people basically thought I was mute. A kid was even shocked like in grade 1 or 2 that I could even talk. I kinda felt like I had a reputation as the quiet one through elementary school but honestly when someone tells me why don't u talk, I tell them "cause I have nothing to say" and it really is true cause I don't just comment on random stuff just to have the need to say something. But just like in this video I talk a lot more on a topic I like.
I’m an introvert. I can be fun and talkative, but only around people who i can relate to. This video hit hard, but the hits felt, reassuring, not painful. Like being told something that the unconscious mind already knew but the waking mind didn’t.
As a strongly introverted person, this video was like having my inner thoughts put into proper words when I myself could not. Thank you so much, Psych2Go

This is spot on and newsflash to all my younger introverts: it's my experience that this doesn't change. However, you will be able to honor your introversion and have great relationships and a good life. Long live introverts!
LOL TRUEEE! I think I have it easier-harder in a weird sense though, I don't live in an english speaking country but I speak mainly english and its what I'm more fluent in, so the reality of me being different or people not understanding-- it's an easy pill to swallow. Makes me really want to leave the country though smh. I don't see myself living here because of it.
All these videos about introverts make me so much more self confident. For a long time, I didn’t actually know that there are people that are just like me and like to not talk or be alone for longer time. Most people I know are very extroverted, so I always thought there’s something wrong with me. But now I know that there are a lot of people that feel this way and it makes me so happy to know that I‘m not alone.
100% me and regarding calls, this absolutely. If you plan on calling me, please text beforehand. If I see a call, even from a number I know, I tend to freeze at the idea of answering I need to be told prior to or I'm likely to let it go to voicemail. And the letting them talk also resonated; my first date with my (now) ex we spent several hours together and most of the conversation was coming from his side 😂, not because I had nothing to contribute but all my thoughts were internal. I don't like to speak much especially with someone I'm newly acquainted with.
If you're rooting for me, find out why my "friends" decided I was, to quote Lucy Gray from The Hunger Games: The Ballad of the Songbirds and Snakes, worth dirt.
Yes, I do relate to this far too well. Especially the part where it says when an introvert finds something interesting to talk about, they can ramble on for hours. That is literally me. I hardly talk to people and I dislike small talk, but if a conversation of something I find interesting comes up, I can talk forever on it, but usually then I get afraid I'm saying too much and not letting the other person speak enough 😅
I've been an introvert my entire life. I'm a strongly introverted person! I could relate to all of these!!! often people tell me to open up and contribute to conversations but that's not as easy as it seems isn't it? I just cant be like the people around me and I am proud to be who I am, a shy introveted person. These videos really give me sm of confidence
Welp now I noticed that I'm an introvert, this is incredibly accurate, I just thought I was shy, I commonly ignore calls for a few seconds before answering soo I don't look soo desesperate bc I mostly just play video games and watch videos and series completely alone and I feel like having a friend with me would just make me go slower even tho sometimes I would like having friends with me playing, I cant do everything by my own. Soo thanks for taking the time to make this videos❤
Adding to my favorites list. Your voice and musical choice was so calming, and the topics were so on point I'll be rewatching this video many times in the future. Thank you!
I think four and five are less important if you're social introvert. I do a ton of reading and writing in my spare time so text messages are like an open invitation for me. That being said I tend to be more picky on who I spend time with and prefer hanging out with people that acknowledge my presence and what I provide to the group.
Yes, I am certainly an introvert. Sometimes I think about several responses I could make in an conversation, and while doing all this reflection, I often forget to actually say something 😂. Also, often these kind of conversations I have with myself in my head are more interesting than the real ones. I also don‘t like it all talking about myself, it’s like I am giving away a piece of myself and people will just be able to use it for whatever they want. I’ve learnt to deal with all the social and identity problems, hopefully other introverts out there will do the same. Stop caring so much about what others think about you, it’s out of your control unless of course you want to try and manipulate them which certainly doesn’t fit your personality. Be yourself, and demand others respect you just like you respect them.
I was super extroverted in elementary school, and have slowly gotten a bit more introverted (on the introvert/extrovert scale) in middle school. I try to think about what I'll saying more, especially when people aren't directly asking me for an answer so I can sound funny and actually make people laugh. Sometimes I end up just not saying anything. I'm usually fine talking about myself, but for some reason, I just don't like talking about my religion. I wear a hijab in school, I play sports in a hijab, I'm clearly a Muslim. But answering questions about my religion just makes me anxious for some reason. Also since I've started middle school I've been wondering more what people think of me. It hasn't affected me much, I just think about it. Is it weird if I say I'm not sure what energizes me me? Because as long as I get enough sleep, I'm fine whether I'm around people or on my own. I do wish I'd get invited to more things, though. And I actually want to go. I just eventually get bored when I'm on my own. Or I watch UA-cam all day.
@@NerdyMystic09 I'm the opposite, sort of. I was super introverted in elementary school and slowly became a bit more extroverted in middle school and high school. I can relate to wanting to say something funny but never saying it. So often I think of something to say, end up not saying it for a couple minutes, then feeling like it's too late to say it ever b/c it references something in the conversation before the topic changed.
As an introvert i can confirm that we have a ton on our minds at all times. Not sure if it’s just ADHD combined with Autism and Trauma, or if i just happen to be this way even without my disorders, but it’s probably a mix of both.
Nah I have none of that and I have a lot of stuff in my mind as well. Funny enough in this video I was watching they said that if I talk a lot in text I must be quite irl which I am.
I don't have any trauma and as far as I know I am as neurotypical as they come. And I can confirm, I have lots and lots of thoughts. I spend a lot of time in my head.
As an introvert myself i actually relate to all of this , you have no idea how Precise this is. the feeling of being left out or not welcomed is the worst , makes me depressed for days.
The first one resonates with me like crazy, it's like I want attention for doing nothing hahaha you gotta have some real keepers for friends if they invite you regardless 😅
This describes me to a "tee"! I've never felt like anyone understands this side of me🥺 A deep longing for connections but perfectly content being solitary with a friend that's a book or getting lost in endless sudokus.
Yes to all 5 of these!!! There’s a lot going on in my head that I just don’t share. I value my free time alone, but still like hanging out with a few friends, not a crowd though!
People think I am socially awkward because I will just sit in a corner quietly and read. Sometimes they tease me jokingly, but it breaks my heart how we are so misunderstood because of our quiet, more observant way of living. And this video relates to me perfectly. We are too nice to say no, and will not hurt your feelings
And it should be noted the difference between introverted and shy: - An introverted person is someone who focus more in their mind instead of the external world (it doesn't mean they don't pay attention to the world). Being introverted is not necessarily attached to social interactions, even though being one has social implications, because, even though they enjoy social interactions, it can get overwhelming for them because of the fact that it demands a focus on the real world. - A shy person is someone who is afraid of social interactions for a lot of reasons, such as fear of being known more profoundly and being judged. Being shy doesn't mean you are introverted, in fact, a lot of extroverted people are shy. And it should also be noted that no one is 100% introverted or extroverted, we are simply more drawn to one or another. These are nothing more than labels, and should be understood with caution. An introverted person still likes social interactions, but it can get pretty overwhelming for them overtime.
Whoa, "5 Things Introverts Secretly Think But NEVER Say" just blew my mind! As an introvert, I totally get the whole overthinking thing. Our minds are like intricate labyrinths of thoughts and emotions. This video finally sheds light on what goes on inside our heads. Can't wait to watch and relate!
"If you think Netflix has too many shows, try looking inside an introvert's brain." Oh I know. That's why I'm awake at 3am. Haha. I'm able to relate to every single one of those. Especially the first one. Cause it hurts way more when your friends hang out together without at least extended the invitation to you.
I am 100% all these things. It's like someone just reached out and pulled my secret thoughts and feelings out of me; I can feel insecure about my personality around others, but after reading the comments, it makes me feel better that there are more people like me than I thought- people who understand.
As an introvert I can vouch for this… Idk if ALL introverts like to ask questions, but I loveee asking questions with my convo partner, it just comes naturally since I like to ask a lot of curious questions and I don’t really care about talking about myself I just want to get to know them more
I remember feeling pretty insecure about my inconsistency when talking to people. I am really shy, and sometimes I avoid talking to people, but if someone ever came up with a topic to talk about or a question that I wanted to answer, I would be so excited to answer their question, even if it wasn't towards me. After a while of self-discovering, I actually feel a lot more confident about my personality. It's ok to feel unconfortable when someone is hitting you with small talk or you don't know them well, and it's also really awesome to be able to express so many thoughts to someone running off of one question, you just have to find the right people who will understand and love you no matter how talkative or not you are.
Yeah, true, but to add on to "but if someone ever came up with a topic to talk about or a question that I wanted to answer, I would be so excited to answer their question, even if it wasn't directed towards me". I have made the mistake of answering before if they're not talking to me, and then I have to deal with people going, "I wasn't talking to you" and "Okay, but who asked you?" Which makes me shrivel up inside and feel like I'm dying. So, yeah, sorry that this isn't related to your main point, I just saw an opportunity to respond and I took it.... Sorry if this makes me look like I love talking and didn't read the whole message -INTJ (if you're into mbti, otherwise, just know I'm introverted)
Just a shoutout to the artists who helped make this video - I love the dreamy and intricate backgrounds like in the bookstore, the bedroom and in the Psiclopia bar at the end of the video! I also read the small panels which are a look into the introvert's brain, in the front of the video! Makes the video so worth re-watching again, haha!
As an introvert, I can easily relate to this. I am always worried about other people's judgment or opinion about me, and because of that most of the time, I remain silent.
I feel like I'm always either too silent or too talkative. Either a subject is boring and I don't feel like talking about it, or it's very interesting and I could talk about it for hours.
I LOVE THE SPIRIT BUNNIES DESIGNS, I'm on a few wait lists and am expecting to get 2 buns, while also being an introvert so I felt connected to this for no reason, it's adorable!!!!!
This is exactly like me. I never talk much but still want to be recognized and seen by others. It seems to me that most people think I’m an inconvenience and just get in the way of their lives.
Wow! I can relate to this video as I have thought all 5 of those things. Thank you for answering Questions that my own doctor couldn't answer. I 💝 the channel and how educational your videos are. We may not know you however I have a great respect for all of you on the channel ☺️ Lots of love from Australia 🌏💜🥰
@@Psych2go Point 2 would have to be the the most important 1 to me. I have been judged in the past as a snob because I don't talk to much however I am always listening and once we get chatting they completely change there point of view and a few people have apologised to me because they judged me before even talking to me.
WOW I relate so much to everything in this video! I only recently realized Im an introvert, with some extrovert traits. And your video P2G, hits every note with how I think 😅 Thanks for making this vid!
Oh the irony of #1 and #5. I exactly know this feeling and you know what, even if I feel sometimes like #5 if I kick my ass and go, I'm not regretting it most of the time and it helps my mood. Though there's some evenings I enjoy my solitude without feeling depressed :)
Thats true to the core, specially the constant wondering if you are uninteresting to others if you are silent. Sometimes really hard to make friends like that.
Thank you Psych2go! This is very relatable and I really hope it allows more people to understand how we feel! I'd love to be invited to more stuff but I dread having to cancel because I'd rather be at home reading or something.
Wow this feels right for me. Once when my friend introduced my friend group to an old friend I tried to be accepting and make them feel comfortable but I didn’t say much. And it seems like they have never met an introvert because they thought I hated them because I was so quiet. My best friend was acting off when I found out the new person told them even despite everyone’s reassurance. I’m not friends with them now, other than one friend (who actually happens to be the friend that introduced the new person), but I’m doing fine and I saw it coming when I was being left behind and never had a partner or a group which caused me to be put with some kids that would make fun of me. It luckily only lasted half a year though because I made a new friend and we joined a group of kind people that I am still friends with.
As an introvert, I am quite surprised that all the said points matches with my behaviour. + Wanting to be invited by not really interested in it + Thinking how other people perceives me + Talking on an interesting topic for hours + Ignoring any type of real-time conversations, even for my clients. Mostly because I need some time to think if someone asks question. + Not eager to hang out with friends.
This describes me so well!!! I know without any doubts for a long time that I'm an introvert. I generally appreciate the contents of psy 2go but this description of Introverts depicts me so well. Especially when it comes to being relieved of not havIng to go to friends plans because they have een cancelled. Also, I ended up understanding that when you don't share same interest with someone it is hard to talk about a topic without being boring to them. Maybe you could add an introvert mighT sometimes stay quiet only because what they have tosay has alreadybeen said. And really what's the use of saying something someone else has just expressed? Personnally I don't see the point of being redundant.
2:30 To this, as an Introvert, I would add being greeted randomly by acquaintances or strangers. I hate it. There is nothing more annoying than interrupting whatever I was doing or thinking, just to say hi and then proceeded to ignore the person who greeted me. I honestly wish that greeting someone came with the obligation of having something worthwhile to say.
Thank you for this video! I'm an extrovert so it's good to know what is going on in my friends' minds :) I should make sure I'm looking after my introverts properly. It helps that my crush is one 🤗💖 (PS psi's room is so cute, I wish mine looked like that!! :D)
As an introvert I definitely relate to all of this, especially the being alone and creating imaginary worlds and such in my mind. I do that consistently. I'll admit that sometimes I don't thrive in silence but that's because of anxiety and depression. Other than that if I'm comfortable enough with someone I'm happy just to sit, listen and observe, taking in my surroundings and such. This was a wonderful video. Thanks for making it. 💕
Hi psych2go! I love your content so so much can you do one for intrusive thoughts? My friends and I noticed we've been having them a lot and they seem really powerful and we trust your content so much. Thank you psych2go 💗
Introversion can be seen as both a gift and a curse, like most other superpowers; the stronger the ability, the greater the drawback to compensate. It’s all about balance (and, conversely, counterbalance), a fundamental inherent in, of, and to everything and everyone. For introverts, who are often aware of both the contrasts between extremes and the need for equilibrium between them, it can be quite the juggling act. Of course, this affinity for deeply attuned observation and perspective can be beneficial when it comes to innovative and creative ideas with myriad potential applications… …if only more than a handful weren’t so easily sorted into the uncertainty pile, dismissed as “probably not good enough,” when it wouldn’t hurt to pitch it just once. 😅
Sometimes an idea which had previously been dismissed as "probably not good enough" can be brought back for a different application -- for example, back in my sophomore year in college I came up with an idea for extracting metals from basalt, but dismissed it as being hopelessly uneconomic, but recently I've realized that in a simplified form it could be adapted for extracting metals from tar-sands processing waste (and it WOULD probably be economic in this application, because Mother Nature has already done most of the separation work for you, and the bitumen extraction process has also done a little more separation work on top of that)!
I’m quite introvert and I must say it’s relieving to hear the familiar things that introverts do. I personally can’t understand who’s friends and I don’t really know who to talk to when I need someone. The world is a big mystery to me.
"Introverts have a steady stream of thought." Me, an introvert: Thinks about mlp eating cookies one second and how a laminated paper roll is a look to the meaning of life in the next: Ah yes
A "hey can I call you?" Is very appreciated but also sparks massive anxiety if you dont ELABORATE ON WHAT YOU NEED TO TALK ABOUT. A friend of mine does this and its usually nothing worrisome but my brain goes to "oh god did something horrible happen?"
This makes me feel better, especially the last one. My friend often calls and asks if I want to go over. I don't want to, but I don't want to seem rude.
Back in the day I used to want to be invited, no matter what, and went. But I have gotten older, and to the point where my friends know they probably won't see me for months. I do appreciate a call or a text now and then :) I live in this great little neighborhood where, for the most part, people look out after each other. A few weeks ago a dead tree fell across my driveway. I contacted my neighbor and offered him the job (just because we're neighbors I don't expect to not pay for something like that!) Another neighbor checked with him to see if I was alright, with my driveway blocked and all--I'd told him I wouldn't be leaving the house for 3 days, so no hurry. Nice to know that neighbors watch out for you!! I could write paragraphs of nice things my neighbors have done for each other--I am so blessed to live here!!!
renember: introverts can be cheerful and not shy! they can act like how you think an extrovert would act but still be an introvert! my mom’s very friendly, and you might think she’s an extrovert when you meet her, but she’s actually an introvert!
im an introvert, and tbh i just feel that i prefer and value my alone time over hanging out and socializing with others. many people think being an introvert means you’re “left out” or “being ignored” but in reality theres nothing to be left out for. people often invite me to alot of stuff and try to open conversations with me but i feel like it just drains my social battery 😭 also being an introvert does mean you’re depressed or weird for the fellow people who give off “im an introvert, people think im weird and my ego is low” as in introvert my self confidence is completely fine and people actually admire me
That's exactly that's how I feel but that kinda made me feel left out and stop loving myself I thought I'm the problem so I started to act like others it was really hard to keep it up then after years I couldn't it was tiring and painful.. so I decided to be my real self no matter what it took me years to recover and be healthy again but luckily I had my mom and friends who cares deeply about me I didn't have lots of friends anymore I cut ties with toxic people but I felt happy like never before I'm really greatful to be me people around me wishes the best for you all and thx for these amazing videos 💫🤍💫🤍
#4 hits hard for me; when the phone rings or there is a knock at the door. I immediately get stricken with anxiety when I'm home and there is a knock on the door especially if I'm not expecting any one, I usually sit quietly until they go away. Using the phone or an unexpected phone call is rough too; I feel like I'm unprepared for the conversation and that I need to mentally prepare for it, I may not answer the call but I need to get myself ready to call them back, I'm exhausted before I even make the call. Thank you for the video.
I like introverts. They’re very observant, and always bring you a fresh perspective. Stay true to yourself introverts. We want someone to listen to us.
As an introvert and can totally relatable. Love this channel . 💖💗💓 . I try to change and be like others but i cannot change I wish I had a friend who is an introvert like me.
I used to struggle as an introvert in our extroverted world. But now armed with stoic and Buddhist teachings I don't struggle anymore. In fact, I've reach next level of introvertness. Stable as a rock. Tranquil as the forest. Those 5 things don't bother at all.
Most of these are what I am experiencing aside from number 4. I’d always reply back fast but won’t say too much because how it’s hard to bring up a topic to interest anyone to talk about. Moreover how I always want to be invited instead of coming into a conversation or a game. Including sometimes I don’t want to hang out because I need some alone time to relax for a bit.

The last one is the most relatable
Thank you for making this video, I feel both seen and heard as these thoughts enter my mind constantly when I'm both alone and with others.
You're so welcome! We're happy to hear that. Which point do you relate to the most?
As an introvert, I resonated with this video. This hits home in so many ways.
100% me and regarding calls, this absolutely. If you plan on calling me, please text beforehand. If I see a call, even from a number I know, I tend to freeze at the idea of answering I need to be told prior to or I'm likely to let it go to voicemail. And the letting them talk also resonated; my first date with my (now) ex we spent several hours together and most of the conversation was coming from his side 😂, not because I had nothing to contribute but all my thoughts were internal. I don't like to speak much especially with someone I'm newly acquainted with.
I feel called out.
But I'm relieved to know that other introverts go through the same thing as me!
haha I'm rooting for y'all, fellow introverts!
If you're rooting for me, find out why my "friends" decided I was, to quote Lucy Gray from The Hunger Games: The Ballad of the Songbirds and Snakes, worth dirt.
For sure, there are many of us than you think!
@@writingisfun9842 dude ditch them already
@@Vince_c.3 I haven't been sitting with them for a while. Sadly I can't escape their toxicity, not fully. Alas, it was to be, my misery.
@@writingisfun9842 is it school or something? Try and tell the teachers and avoid them as much as possible
Yes, I do relate to this far too well. Especially the part where it says when an introvert finds something interesting to talk about, they can ramble on for hours. That is literally me. I hardly talk to people and I dislike small talk, but if a conversation of something I find interesting comes up, I can talk forever on it, but usually then I get afraid I'm saying too much and not letting the other person speak enough 😅
I've been an introvert my entire life. I'm a strongly introverted person! I could relate to all of these!!! often people tell me to open up and contribute to conversations but that's not as easy as it seems isn't it? I just cant be like the people around me and I am proud to be who I am, a shy introveted person. These videos really give me sm of confidence
Welp now I noticed that I'm an introvert, this is incredibly accurate, I just thought I was shy, I commonly ignore calls for a few seconds before answering soo I don't look soo desesperate bc I mostly just play video games and watch videos and series completely alone and I feel like having a friend with me would just make me go slower even tho sometimes I would like having friends with me playing, I cant do everything by my own. Soo thanks for taking the time to make this videos❤
Adding to my favorites list. Your voice and musical choice was so calming, and the topics were so on point I'll be rewatching this video many times in the future. Thank you!
I think four and five are less important if you're social introvert. I do a ton of reading and writing in my spare time so text messages are like an open invitation for me.
That being said I tend to be more picky on who I spend time with and prefer hanging out with people that acknowledge my presence and what I provide to the group.
Very true, I did find 4 and 5 less important as a social introvert
You read my mind
Your my therapy cause I can’t afford real therapy, and your voice is so soft and calming, thank you so much for starting this channel.
Yes, I am certainly an introvert. Sometimes I think about several responses I could make in an conversation, and while doing all this reflection, I often forget to actually say something 😂. Also, often these kind of conversations I have with myself in my head are more interesting than the real ones.
I also don‘t like it all talking about myself, it’s like I am giving away a piece of myself and people will just be able to use it for whatever they want. I’ve learnt to deal with all the social and identity problems, hopefully other introverts out there will do the same. Stop caring so much about what others think about you, it’s out of your control unless of course you want to try and manipulate them which certainly doesn’t fit your personality. Be yourself, and demand others respect you just like you respect them.
I was super extroverted in elementary school, and have slowly gotten a bit more introverted (on the introvert/extrovert scale) in middle school. I try to think about what I'll saying more, especially when people aren't directly asking me for an answer so I can sound funny and actually make people laugh. Sometimes I end up just not saying anything. I'm usually fine talking about myself, but for some reason, I just don't like talking about my religion. I wear a hijab in school, I play sports in a hijab, I'm clearly a Muslim. But answering questions about my religion just makes me anxious for some reason. Also since I've started middle school I've been wondering more what people think of me. It hasn't affected me much, I just think about it. Is it weird if I say I'm not sure what energizes me me? Because as long as I get enough sleep, I'm fine whether I'm around people or on my own. I do wish I'd get invited to more things, though. And I actually want to go. I just eventually get bored when I'm on my own. Or I watch UA-cam all day.
@@NerdyMystic09 I'm the opposite, sort of. I was super introverted in elementary school and slowly became a bit more extroverted in middle school and high school. I can relate to wanting to say something funny but never saying it. So often I think of something to say, end up not saying it for a couple minutes, then feeling like it's too late to say it ever b/c it references something in the conversation before the topic changed.
@@vibaj16 right! Then if you say it everyone is like, "What are you talking about?"
As an introvert i can confirm that we have a ton on our minds at all times. Not sure if it’s just ADHD combined with Autism and Trauma, or if i just happen to be this way even without my disorders, but it’s probably a mix of both.
Nah I have none of that and I have a lot of stuff in my mind as well. Funny enough in this video I was watching they said that if I talk a lot in text I must be quite irl which I am.
I don't have any trauma and as far as I know I am as neurotypical as they come. And I can confirm, I have lots and lots of thoughts. I spend a lot of time in my head.
What's adhd?
As an introvert with adhd, I can totally relate to that.
@@majd8 Ohhh
As an introvert myself i actually relate to all of this , you have no idea how Precise this is. the feeling of being left out or not welcomed is the worst , makes me depressed for days.
The first one resonates with me like crazy, it's like I want attention for doing nothing hahaha
you gotta have some real keepers for friends if they invite you regardless 😅
Important!
This describes me to a "tee"! I've never felt like anyone understands this side of me🥺 A deep longing for connections but perfectly content being solitary with a friend that's a book or getting lost in endless sudokus.
Yes to all 5 of these!!! There’s a lot going on in my head that I just don’t share. I value my free time alone, but still like hanging out with a few friends, not a crowd though!
Me as an introvert can really relate with this video and each and every line you said was very true and right!! 😀
People think I am socially awkward because I will just sit in a corner quietly and read. Sometimes they tease me jokingly, but it breaks my heart how we are so misunderstood because of our quiet, more observant way of living. And this video relates to me perfectly. We are too nice to say no, and will not hurt your feelings
And it should be noted the difference between introverted and shy:
- An introverted person is someone who focus more in their mind instead of the external world (it doesn't mean they don't pay attention to the world). Being introverted is not necessarily attached to social interactions, even though being one has social implications, because, even though they enjoy social interactions, it can get overwhelming for them because of the fact that it demands a focus on the real world.
- A shy person is someone who is afraid of social interactions for a lot of reasons, such as fear of being known more profoundly and being judged. Being shy doesn't mean you are introverted, in fact, a lot of extroverted people are shy.
And it should also be noted that no one is 100% introverted or extroverted, we are simply more drawn to one or another. These are nothing more than labels, and should be understood with caution. An introverted person still likes social interactions, but it can get pretty overwhelming for them overtime.
Actually, I know of at least 2 people who are 100% introverted!
Whoa, "5 Things Introverts Secretly Think But NEVER Say" just blew my mind! As an introvert, I totally get the whole overthinking thing. Our minds are like intricate labyrinths of thoughts and emotions. This video finally sheds light on what goes on inside our heads. Can't wait to watch and relate!
"If you think Netflix has too many shows, try looking inside an introvert's brain."
Oh I know. That's why I'm awake at 3am. Haha. I'm able to relate to every single one of those. Especially the first one. Cause it hurts way more when your friends hang out together without at least extended the invitation to you.
I am 100% all these things. It's like someone just reached out and pulled my secret thoughts and feelings out of me; I can feel insecure about my personality around others, but after reading the comments, it makes me feel better that there are more people like me than I thought- people who understand.
As an introvert I can vouch for this… Idk if ALL introverts like to ask questions, but I loveee asking questions with my convo partner, it just comes naturally since I like to ask a lot of curious questions and I don’t really care about talking about myself I just want to get to know them more
I remember feeling pretty insecure about my inconsistency when talking to people. I am really shy, and sometimes I avoid talking to people, but if someone ever came up with a topic to talk about or a question that I wanted to answer, I would be so excited to answer their question, even if it wasn't towards me.
After a while of self-discovering, I actually feel a lot more confident about my personality. It's ok to feel unconfortable when someone is hitting you with small talk or you don't know them well, and it's also really awesome to be able to express so many thoughts to someone running off of one question, you just have to find the right people who will understand and love you no matter how talkative or not you are.
Yeah, true, but to add on to "but if someone ever came up with a topic to talk about or a question that I wanted to answer, I would be so excited to answer their question, even if it wasn't directed towards me". I have made the mistake of answering before if they're not talking to me, and then I have to deal with people going, "I wasn't talking to you" and "Okay, but who asked you?" Which makes me shrivel up inside and feel like I'm dying. So, yeah, sorry that this isn't related to your main point, I just saw an opportunity to respond and I took it.... Sorry if this makes me look like I love talking and didn't read the whole message
-INTJ (if you're into mbti, otherwise, just know I'm introverted)
Oh my goodness! This 100% me and the part of introverts making imaginary worlds in their minds is 100000% accurate, I do that myself all the time
the animation is beautiful, I have never seen such mesmerising artwork. As an introvert I feel seen and am obsessed with this video!! :)
Just a shoutout to the artists who helped make this video - I love the dreamy and intricate backgrounds like in the bookstore, the bedroom and in the Psiclopia bar at the end of the video! I also read the small panels which are a look into the introvert's brain, in the front of the video! Makes the video so worth re-watching again, haha!
This is so me! Thank you for this insightful and helpful video
As an introvert, I can easily relate to this. I am always worried about other people's judgment or opinion about me, and because of that most of the time, I remain silent.
I feel like I'm always either too silent or too talkative. Either a subject is boring and I don't feel like talking about it, or it's very interesting and I could talk about it for hours.
Technically, what you're describing is shyness, not introversion -- but it's perfectly possible to have both, as I do!
I LOVE THE SPIRIT BUNNIES DESIGNS, I'm on a few wait lists and am expecting to get 2 buns, while also being an introvert so I felt connected to this for no reason, it's adorable!!!!!
Love it! Great for understanding introverts a lot better
You are very welcome! What did you enjoy about this video?
@@Psych2go Nothing
This is exactly like me. I never talk much but still want to be recognized and seen by others. It seems to me that most people think I’m an inconvenience and just get in the way of their lives.
It's been even more hard to communicate lately. Still, thanks for the video, always at the right time 💚
As an extrovert, this video was extremely helpful! In my opinion, all of yours are! I love learning about new things and how to work with introverts 💖
Wow! I can relate to this video as I have thought all 5 of those things. Thank you for answering Questions that my own doctor couldn't answer.
I 💝 the channel and how educational your videos are. We may not know you however I have a great respect for all of you on the channel ☺️
Lots of love from Australia 🌏💜🥰
Glad it was helpful! :) We're so happy to help. Which point did you resonate with the most?
@@Psych2go
Point 2 would have to be the the most important 1 to me. I have been judged in the past as a snob because I don't talk to much however I am always listening and once we get chatting they completely change there point of view and a few people have apologised to me because they judged me before even talking to me.
WOW I relate so much to everything in this video! I only recently realized Im an introvert, with some extrovert traits. And your video P2G, hits every note with how I think 😅 Thanks for making this vid!
Oh the irony of #1 and #5. I exactly know this feeling and you know what, even if I feel sometimes like #5 if I kick my ass and go, I'm not regretting it most of the time and it helps my mood. Though there's some evenings I enjoy my solitude without feeling depressed :)
Thats true to the core, specially the constant wondering if you are uninteresting to others if you are silent. Sometimes really hard to make friends like that.
Thank you Psych2go! This is very relatable and I really hope it allows more people to understand how we feel! I'd love to be invited to more stuff but I dread having to cancel because I'd rather be at home reading or something.
Me, I have ZERO problems with cancelling or turning down an invitation!
Wow this feels right for me. Once when my friend introduced my friend group to an old friend I tried to be accepting and make them feel comfortable but I didn’t say much. And it seems like they have never met an introvert because they thought I hated them because I was so quiet. My best friend was acting off when I found out the new person told them even despite everyone’s reassurance. I’m not friends with them now, other than one friend (who actually happens to be the friend that introduced the new person), but I’m doing fine and I saw it coming when I was being left behind and never had a partner or a group which caused me to be put with some kids that would make fun of me. It luckily only lasted half a year though because I made a new friend and we joined a group of kind people that I am still friends with.
As an introvert, I am quite surprised that all the said points matches with my behaviour.
+ Wanting to be invited by not really interested in it
+ Thinking how other people perceives me
+ Talking on an interesting topic for hours
+ Ignoring any type of real-time conversations, even for my clients. Mostly because I need some time to think if someone asks question.
+ Not eager to hang out with friends.
This describes me so well!!! I know without any doubts for a long time that I'm an introvert.
I generally appreciate the contents of psy 2go but this description of Introverts depicts me so well.
Especially when it comes to being relieved of not havIng to go to friends plans because they have een cancelled.
Also, I ended up understanding that when you don't share same interest with someone it is hard to talk about a topic without being boring to them.
Maybe you could add an introvert mighT sometimes stay quiet only because what they have tosay has alreadybeen said. And really what's the use of saying something someone else has just expressed? Personnally I don't see the point of being redundant.

To this, as an Introvert, I would add being greeted randomly by acquaintances or strangers. I hate it. There is nothing more annoying than interrupting whatever I was doing or thinking, just to say hi and then proceeded to ignore the person who greeted me. I honestly wish that greeting someone came with the obligation of having something worthwhile to say.
Thank you for this video! I'm an extrovert so it's good to know what is going on in my friends' minds :) I should make sure I'm looking after my introverts properly. It helps that my crush is one 🤗💖
(PS psi's room is so cute, I wish mine looked like that!! :D)
I think most people want to be invited but don’t want to go but right when they ask, you don’t know what to do
I relate to this video very well. Thanks for making it❤️
As an introvert I definitely relate to all of this, especially the being alone and creating imaginary worlds and such in my mind. I do that consistently. I'll admit that sometimes I don't thrive in silence but that's because of anxiety and depression. Other than that if I'm comfortable enough with someone I'm happy just to sit, listen and observe, taking in my surroundings and such. This was a wonderful video. Thanks for making it. 💕
Hi psych2go! I love your content so so much can you do one for intrusive thoughts? My friends and I noticed we've been having them a lot and they seem really powerful and we trust your content so much. Thank you psych2go 💗
Can you please do one on Avoidant Personality Disorder and how to get over it or identify it?
Introversion can be seen as both a gift and a curse, like most other superpowers; the stronger the ability, the greater the drawback to compensate.
It’s all about balance (and, conversely, counterbalance), a fundamental inherent in, of, and to everything and everyone.
For introverts, who are often aware of both the contrasts between extremes and the need for equilibrium between them, it can be quite the juggling act.
Of course, this affinity for deeply attuned observation and perspective can be beneficial when it comes to innovative and creative ideas with myriad potential applications…
…if only more than a handful weren’t so easily sorted into the uncertainty pile, dismissed as “probably not good enough,” when it wouldn’t hurt to pitch it just once. 😅
Sometimes an idea which had previously been dismissed as "probably not good enough" can be brought back for a different application -- for example, back in my sophomore year in college I came up with an idea for extracting metals from basalt, but dismissed it as being hopelessly uneconomic, but recently I've realized that in a simplified form it could be adapted for extracting metals from tar-sands processing waste (and it WOULD probably be economic in this application, because Mother Nature has already done most of the separation work for you, and the bitumen extraction process has also done a little more separation work on top of that)!
@@agentorange153 Oh, snap. That’s genius! 🤯
I’m quite introvert and I must say it’s relieving to hear the familiar things that introverts do. I personally can’t understand who’s friends and I don’t really know who to talk to when I need someone. The world is a big mystery to me.

im an introvert and i dont talk to people or interact with people i dont know very well! this channel deserves 10.3 million subs!
To all introverts: YOU ARE THE MOST INTRESTING PEOPLE!!!
It’s nice to feel understood for once. Most people just assume I’m cold or stuck up, but I’m just an introverted and anxious bean
As a introvert
Everything in here is true
A "hey can I call you?" Is very appreciated but also sparks massive anxiety if you dont ELABORATE ON WHAT YOU NEED TO TALK ABOUT. A friend of mine does this and its usually nothing worrisome but my brain goes to "oh god did something horrible happen?"
Everything really- we don't talk much
We don't talk much but our brain is running a thousand though per hour!
Lol true but introverts surely have someone they trust they can talk to as long as they want
@@Psych2go For real. I haven't spoken at all today, but boy has my mind been turning its gears
And people are pissed off about it because we don't talk much 😅
@@floraaaaa138 Absolutely
This makes me feel better, especially the last one. My friend often calls and asks if I want to go over. I don't want to, but I don't want to seem rude.
A couple of these were really relatable, I think this was a pretty good video 👍
Back in the day I used to want to be invited, no matter what, and went. But I have gotten older, and to the point where my friends know they probably won't see me for months. I do appreciate a call or a text now and then :)
I live in this great little neighborhood where, for the most part, people look out after each other. A few weeks ago a dead tree fell across my driveway. I contacted my neighbor and offered him the job (just because we're neighbors I don't expect to not pay for something like that!) Another neighbor checked with him to see if I was alright, with my driveway blocked and all--I'd told him I wouldn't be leaving the house for 3 days, so no hurry. Nice to know that neighbors watch out for you!! I could write paragraphs of nice things my neighbors have done for each other--I am so blessed to live here!!!
Working retail, talking to people and answering questions all day becomes tiering.
renember: introverts can be cheerful and not shy! they can act like how you think an extrovert would act but still be an introvert! my mom’s very friendly, and you might think she’s an extrovert when you meet her, but she’s actually an introvert!
I couldn't relate to a video more than i do with this one, everything is so true i have no words for it...
im an introvert, and tbh i just feel that i prefer and value my alone time over hanging out and socializing with others. many people think being an introvert means you’re “left out” or “being ignored” but in reality theres nothing to be left out for. people often invite me to alot of stuff and try to open conversations with me but i feel like it just drains my social battery 😭 also being an introvert does mean you’re depressed or weird for the fellow people who give off “im an introvert, people think im weird and my ego is low” as in introvert my self confidence is completely fine and people actually admire me
As an introvert myself, I can relate to most of the situations.
You described me perfectly and thank you.
This is one of the most relatable things I've ever seen.
All these things relate to me, especially the feeling that I'm not interesting enough for someone else.
I absolutely love being an introvert because I’m not changing myself because people want me to. I’m remaining myself at all times
"I hope they cancel our plans so that I don't have to go." I started laughing, I totally relate!😂
Introvert adhd is a constant battle of wanting to share and talk about everything
Thanks Guys, Appreciate All The Videos You Give Us ❤
That's exactly that's how I feel but that kinda made me feel left out and stop loving myself I thought I'm the problem so I started to act like others it was really hard to keep it up then after years I couldn't it was tiring and painful.. so I decided to be my real self no matter what it took me years to recover and be healthy again but luckily I had my mom and friends who cares deeply about me I didn't have lots of friends anymore I cut ties with toxic people but I felt happy like never before I'm really greatful to be me people around me wishes the best for you all and thx for these amazing videos 💫🤍💫🤍
#4 hits hard for me; when the phone rings or there is a knock at the door. I immediately get stricken with anxiety when I'm home and there is a knock on the door especially if I'm not expecting any one, I usually sit quietly until they go away. Using the phone or an unexpected phone call is rough too; I feel like I'm unprepared for the conversation and that I need to mentally prepare for it, I may not answer the call but I need to get myself ready to call them back, I'm exhausted before I even make the call. Thank you for the video.
I like introverts. They’re very observant, and always bring you a fresh perspective. Stay true to yourself introverts. We want someone to listen to us.
Thank you for always listing the references inspiring these!
This video explains so well since I'm a little introvert it on topic 1 to 5 I relate to all five of them
As an introvert and can totally relatable. Love this channel . 💖💗💓 . I try to change and be like others but i cannot change
I wish I had a friend who is an introvert like me.
Thanks for this. Helps me to understand my introvert friend more.
I'm so glad this helps! Share this with your friends and see if they can relate to it
I used to struggle as an introvert in our extroverted world. But now armed with stoic and Buddhist teachings I don't struggle anymore. In fact, I've reach next level of introvertness. Stable as a rock. Tranquil as the forest. Those 5 things don't bother at all.
The fact that all of these except the first one explains my thoughts in school lol-
I found out I am an introvert last year and I can relate to everything in this video
Most of these are what I am experiencing aside from number 4. I’d always reply back fast but won’t say too much because how it’s hard to bring up a topic to interest anyone to talk about. Moreover how I always want to be invited instead of coming into a conversation or a game. Including sometimes I don’t want to hang out because I need some alone time to relax for a bit.
Oh man, every single point was a total mood.
Thank goodness this video exists. Now I don't need to tell everyone why I don't pick up even the urgent calls..
Literally what I wonder everyday, the most common question I have in my brain is, “Am I too quite and boring? Am I any fun?
