You would think it wouldn’t be because literally you are liking or reblogging others stuff. Should make them feel good right? Only a little bit, extroverts need the comments, the asks, the whole interactions between others to keep them doing what they are doing. We live off of others feedback, without it we are lost at times.
It’s awkward to even talk about it sometimes, where we do get self conscious of how others perceive us because sometimes we are a little ‘too much’ to handle.
Let us know. We are humans too. While we may be very social, we get that there are times to just be by yourself in your own world.
Give us a chance though. We can provide hours of mindless entertainment and go on adventures together. We can be the best friends you never have to meet in person lol.
People think that extroverts are some sort of social-loving madmen but in my personal experience, we just want validation and get “re-energized” when it comes
“I’m an extrovert
Yes, that smile was for you
and I came today just to see you
I share pieces of my heart,
in case if somebody needs them,
and I let you touch my soul
if you promise you won’t break it No, I’m not necessarily shallow
and even though my feathers get color with you
the brightest ones I much rather keep in private where they are born – where they shall belong
And my heart is i n s i d e
me.
And even it might not look like it
my mind and soul roams
to foreign roads to grasslands and skies, spaces, yet unknown mazes”
I see it on my dash all day, introverts are the under appreciated, overwhelmed and overlooked sad little snowflakes. Extroverts bother them to no end and should piss off and make more of an effort to understand them, because life is hard for introverts and extroverts have it so easy. Well let me tell you, we don’t.
You have no idea how much I’d like to just quietly sit and read a book without constantly thinking of sharing this with that person. Without feeling alone, because I need interaction and without wanting someone else’s input on something. You have no clue how much I hate interacting with everyone because I’m an extrovert, not because I like them. You have no idea of the fact that I have so many friends, just because I open my mouth and interact, but don’t actually have any special bond or anything with them and they don’t care about me just as much as I don’t care about them. You’ve no idea how hard it is for me to just sit down and do nothing and talk to no one, because I’m constantly looking for interaction.
I wish I had that thing where my house is a sanctuary of silence, but it’s not, because work is where the people are and home is where there’s no sound. I wish I didn’t have to punch myself in the face to put my phone away, because I want to talk to everyone but I actually really don’t. And you’ve no idea how hard it is for me to focus with all these stupid people around.
But most of all, you’ve no idea how much it sucks to interact with introverts. To feel constantly ignored, like you’re being too much, like you’re intruding on them, like you’re not good enough to replace their alone-time and like you mean nothing to them. You’ve no idea how shitty we feel if you ignore our texts for days and keep cancelling on plans, because we want to see you but you don’t want to see us. Not because you’re doing something, but because you want to be alone. But we understand, we keep inviting you, we keep interacting, because that’s who we are. Don’t take it for granted so much, because we make an effort. We try and understand you, respect your privacy. But you know, you could do with trying to understand us sometimes too, with all that introspection you have. Don’t stab us in the front with your love of exclusion. News freaking flash, stop being such dismissive jerks and care about someone else for a change.
Oh my gosh SING IT GIRL. Introverts have the right to their feels but look at the comments here and see how much they freak out when an extrovert dares to have their own. Extroverts and introverts are always gonna bump into each other and hurt each other, it’s just a part of navigating humans, but introverts demand a lot of space and sympathy on the internet without giving that same respect and caring to the extroverts that get hurt along the way.
***It is exactly as painful for an extrovert to be ditched by an introverted friend and to feel unwanted as it is for an introvert to have to navigate a social situation they don’t want to be in.***
This post is a little extra but that’s cause they’re highly emotional and exploding after having to bottle up this feeling for all time. I feel you so hard.
