Reading and immersing myself in literature--reading and writing--has turned me into an introvert. What gives, /lit/? Did I get meme'd?
Nothing wrong with introversion (the good, focused & productive kind, not that faggy muh depression/anxiety type). Besides you can easily switch back and forth if you really want to.
I hate your shit thread.

Being passionate about reading and writing has made me a shut-in. It's a vastly superior way of life, and I get annoyed if I am asked to be around people now.
>>9862861
Rude
>>9862860
What if i'm productive but also still have really bad anxiety?
Introverts will inherit the earth.
>>9862850
Enjoy discovering yourself
>>9862876
Remove anxiety
>>9862950
How so?
>>9862850
haha the le WHOA maymay is good i love cronsh baddicob
Reading and immersing myself in literature--reading and writing--has turned me into a pretentious pseud who has disappointed down his conservative family and lost all sense of self respect. But it's too late for me. I love it too much.
>>9862995
I can't.
>>9864119
Do it.
> tfw will never find a cutie, introvert /lit/ bf.
>>9862850
No, you didn't get memed, you're just misconstruing the causal connection here.
Literature didn't "turn you into an introvert." You turned yourself into an introvert because you think it's what you need to do to be considered "literary."
This is false. Joyce was an extrovert. Hemingway. Fitzgerald. Byron. Billiam Bakesbeare, and even, depending on who you ask, Pynchon.
The meme is believing that in order to be literary you have to be a pathetic beta. Don't change for others anon.
>>9865475
Don't. Find someone that makes you want to get out of your comfort zone.
>>9865504
I do things out of my comfort zone all the time. Lately, I have been craving sitting at home with someone other than myself and reading.
>>9865475
Dude, you're gay.
>>9865547
...okay.
>>9865498
>implying I did this intentionally
>>9865633
Maybe not intentionally, but certainly subconsciously.
>>9865636
reeee

Are you citing these jokes as excellent authors to prove a point? Because I can easily cite mos of history's great thinkers as depressed introverts.
>>9864119
Have you tried drugs?
>>9865498
>Joyce
>extrovert
as far as we know, no
>>9865475
>wanting a beta manchild as a bf
Grow up, seriously.
>>9865677
you'll get tired of this person very quickly.
>>9865685
This. You will get tired of him. Find someone that makes you want to get out of home. Introvert people can be interesting but at the same time they have some issues with themselves and will get tired of you really quickly. They mostly just want to be alone.
>>9865749
And so should your bf, a two dimensional character isn't a good partner.
>>9865709
Man you people really have no clue what you're talking about
>>9865653
have you tried killing yourself degenerate druggie
>>9865773
Thats why you never ask for advice on 4chan, literally just memes on memes.
introversion and extroversion are terms from a questionnaire, not what you are, stop trying to make yourself into a commodified persona of a ~literary person~
>>9865767
But what if two dimensional is what I'm looking for? I've been with "extroverted" partners, and found them utterly exhausting.
>>9865886
No one is two dimensional in the same way a movie character is, if you want a man just to be a side-kick in your life and not a complete human being with his own hopes and dreams and which you'll have to adapt yourself accordingly, then you are just no ready.
>>9865904
I don't want hollywoods definition of the "perfect man". And I would never squash another's hopes and dreams just to have them as my "side-kick". I want a balance. I want to be able to live my own life, and him to live his own life, but still be able to maintain a healthy and positive relationship. I don't want a one sided relationship, I've been in too many of those, and know for a fact that they always end in heartbreak. I want to love someone for who they are, and I want someone to love me for who I am. No games, no bullshit.
