Why do so many extroverted bubbly personality people who seem

>>18575655
they're idiots

Hey OP, one of the people you described its because we never establish a solid connection with them and so most of our relationships are really shallow, so we tend to retreat into ourselves ashamed to admit we are really lonely

>>18575760
+1 I intermingle extremely well but can never maintain a strong relationship.

Probably because they want to seem cool. Many people confuse "introvert" for "deep".

>>18575655
Because for whatever reason acting like you'll never get a girlfriend/boyfriend and having social anxiety has become trendy on social media

For some reason, being introverted just makes you a more intelligent, "deep" person. According to society.

Because nobody wants the 'us' that is dark, depressed and constantly fighting the truths of life in their head, dipshit. Nobody gives a fuck; it's edgy outlier bullshit that nobody has time to think about.

We learned that people like to laugh and have fun and strangely enough, we find it cathartic to be able to just laugh and relax too, without thinking of everything that compresses in on us every day.

Nobody wants 'us' as we are when we're alone. We give them what they do want, and we get that acceptance and company we crave in our solitude, even if it's just temporary and it's a bit conditional.

I know I'm not going to complain. I was lonely and miserable in school, graduating gave me the wherewithal to not be a lonely dipshit all the bloody time.

So you just don't actually know what it means to be introverted? It has nothing to do with forming relationships or how you feel after you prove how outgoing your personality is.
Introverted means shy, it means you are likely to overthink a social interaction instead of just engaging in it.

this. you're a fag op

Intro/extroversion largely refer to social habits, and introverts tend to spend energy socializing while extroverts thrive off of socializing. This is why introverts tend to be quicker to stay in at home, and why extroverts are usually easy to bring into just about anything.

You can get along with everyone while still being inside your head most of the time.
I grt along with most peoople by not letting them be an actual part of my life but acting nice towards them.
I know what people like to hear.

It's easier if people like you, it gets you favours and keeps you higher on the social ladder.

Especially when it comes to strange taste in music or whatever, they'll try to understand you instead of making fun of you for example

you can be introverted and still be bubbly around people, why do people still think being introverted is the same as being socially awkward?

>>18576054
This is so true. I'm a closet extrovert. Sometimes its hard for me to make the effort to get out and make new friends because I overthink social interaction but being around people is what keeps me going.

You need to watch out for run-on sentences.

Thank you. OP is a moron.

I'm the opposite, I'm somewhat reserved but I'm definitely an extrovert. I have to bounce ideas off other people and I feel drained when I spend too much time alone. I'm not the bubbly extrovert stereotype but I'm certainly not an introvert.

>>18575655
I honestly think that people like that are trying to be cute.

Just like any trendy psychological diagnosis.
>social anxiety because shy
>OCD because *insert tiny quirk i do sometimes*
>bipolar because throws small temper tantrum when stressed out

Because introverted simply means being around others exhausts you, and you have to be alone to "recharge" while extroverts are the complete opposite. Social awkwardness or shyness has nothing to do with it.
Its also a spectrum, most people are a bit of both.

People can be charming and socially competent while still being introverted. My husband is like that. He's witty, funny, kind, and isn't an asshole when he's upset or tired.

But he still gets exhausted by social events and has to come home to recharge. He might be good at being social but he hates talking to strangers, can only handle talking to people he's acquaintances with for a little while, hates anything with crowds and has to prep himself mentally beforehand, and does not like to go new places.

He's definitely an introvert. He knows how to be social, but it tires him out. Him being competent socially does not make him an extrovert. He's just not a jerk if he doesn't want to talk to someone.

That is a symptom of being extroverts. Extroverts have many many shallow friendships. Introverts have very few, but very strong friendships.

>>18575884
Introverts are on average more intelligent.

>>18576062
This.

no such thing as extroverted/introverted, people just love labels because it makes them feel like they're part of an exclusive club
