Why Introverts Feel Misunderstood

I'm pretending that I hate quarantine where in fact I like it because I don't need to make up excuses not to go out anymore 😅

I tend to find a mountain view relaxing. Nature dissolves all my anxieties and gives me impetus for the day and it makes personal business, like taking care of things at the bank bearable as I walk towards it. The feeling of solitude in a small town is exactly what I’m looking for as an introvert. I’ve no regrets.

This video has brought so much comfort to me, thank you :)

Watching your video's is so soothing and I am very appreciative of your content (:

I figured out that I feel most like an "outgoing introvert," meaning I can be outgoing and even enjoy it, but it's not where I thrive or feel recharged. I actually feel like I need both social and antisocial in my life, which made me confused about the whole introvert extrovert dichotomy for a while. So I agreed that it's like a spectrum rather than a black or white. I appreciated your thoughts and deeper exploration here. Also "stimulation minimalists" is a great term!

Being quiet is different from being introverted, not all introverts are very reserved. Also lack of social skills can be mistaken for introversion, not being able to socialize is very different from needing alone time. Introverts might seem outgoing to some people, but they might get tired easily. For example, I define myself as an introvert even though I have a large circle of acquaintances. I might leave an event early, because I feel overstimulated or I have the feeling of not hearing my own thoughts. When I was younger, I was told to change my behaviour, but that lead to more problems.. I've always read a lot of books, in different languages and liked researching different topics. (you don't need to like reading in order to be an introvert though..)

Should we strive to become more tolerant to the extroverted world around us? Or focus on how to find our own space and alone time?

Over the years, I feel like some eras of my introvertedness has shifted, and it makes me wonder, can I slowly move in another direction? If so, should I?

I think introversion/extroversion is misunderstood as a concept and hence all those "boxes" you mention. When I learned that Myers-Briggs defines it as "where you get your energy from," then it became so much accurate and clear to me. Introverts get energy from spending time alone and get drained from social interaction, while for extroverts it is the opposite. Introversion does not mean being shy or not liking being with others, but I think the fact that we like being with ourselves more than average, makes us picky by default.

Your videos are so interesting

Do introverts wear sexy clothes, bra tops, makeup and make videos about being an introvert?
Just saying 😁

Introverts are misunderstood all the time...I don't seem to understand why..because I think most of the time the other extroverted people self proclaim to be right all the time...and somehow they feel that they are perfect in every possible aspect...which I is not really true...In reality nobody is perfect and people fail to understand that

The thing I probably hate the most is when I'm forced to interact with others/speak up in public when I don't want to. Most commonly in school/university settings. More often than not I don't feel like I need to share my opinion or thoughts with anyone.

Nice information

To be honest. Just like me. If someone like me happened to be with you. Damn i forget what introvert would be like. For me introverts is like finding someone to talk to that have the same interest's

I hated the way people thinks that introversion is loneliness... They just really misunderstood it

that sponsorship segway was smoooth

This has been me my whole life. It really helped hearing from a fellow introvert and getting a female perspective.

I think maybe some people my see my shyness as arrogance.

your life so cool, find a man who understand you sweety

I am a Christian, and someone once told me that I don’t have the love of God in me because if I did, I would want to be around His people. That’s a perfect example of why I stay to myself most of the time, selectively choosing who to be with and when; most people are exhausting, and ignorant ( in the truest sense of the word)! Of course, my reaction to that person’s comment and other similar ignorant ones, made me realize I may need to take anger management classes.😊

You are so pretty and,im antisocial

You are the elder sister I wish I had.

Thank you for this video it is what I needed to hear today.Been enjoying your videos today as well as I like a lot of the topics you're discussing on various videos. It's weird I started just looking for information about a book club and stumbled onto your channel and I'm glad that I did.I have been labeled and introvert for quite some time and I think I'm really just a blend of introvert and extrovert at times.

I am very happy with your 🎁 nature like back 🔙 with me.
So I am not introvert person but sometimes I feel that my opposition would like or not talking with me because of whatever our inside 💠 wishes or aspects and purpose for own beliefs and satisfaction, but we must care of our opposition and when to talking with us otherwise it may be missing the 😈👀 person who we want to talk with him.ofcource there are several ways to learn English language with fastest growing technology like podcast, listening video, reading books, newspaper 📰🗞️ repeating sentence, words writing Blog.I think with this beliefs and opportunities relationship is also important to me according their 🎿 conviniant time and truely happy with us, So today 🎁 morning 🌅🌄 you have to said that I am not available for the week therefore as it is my routine work always been around me and 💝🎁 connecting with people who are sharing their best performance what they are doing with me everyday in learning process So blog post we can generate in many ways and 💝🎁 method which I have learnt from my searching on network.but at first sight I have to decided NO COST AND MAKE MONEY simply writing business is good for me and 💝🎁 helpfull for both of us as per my ability I always want to talk with you 🎁 but blindely force to you is not like me.
I think my introvert and 💝🎁 extrovert you can understand with this beliefs and just conversation as above what I want to say.

I think introvert people don't like the people around them but they like being around people they loved

God I can relate to this so well... people say I bind myself forcibly from being free but I can never make them understand that m free n more I mingle or be a part of small talks I feel frustrated.🤭

Good thoughts on that some good tips about occupying yourself. Good work.

Is hating small talk a symptom 🤣 it makes me so uncomfortable.

Can you, please, make a video about phrases used by introverts?

I have been an introvert my entire life, and am very comfortable with it. I don't feel the need to change or socialise in the slightest

Being an introvert is not a bad thing that’s how I describe my older brother. A couple years ago I used to talk to him about why he doesn’t hang out with my brothers or make any new friends and hang out with them. I have always thought he was boring because he never wants to hang out with me (go to fun places) but then I thought there was nothing wrong with him being alone. At that time I was feeling lonely and sad. He always enjoys his own company and I’ve always liked that about him.

This video was much needed today .
I have come across cold behaviour from my colleagues off late because I don't exhibit the common small talk time and again ... therefore I come accross as a snob and while others make the effort they climb the good ladder whilst I am being misunderstood . This results in me losing opportunities because it's believed that I will be the least dependable and reliable for any responsibilities . I struggle to show I care . With WFH it's easirer for me because I love the non rendezvous work culture .But even so people try their best st through casual emails off work hours gossips..

Introverts are higher minded... I've never met a deep extrovert.

Beautiful girl, beautiful mind. We have very similar physical characteristics as well as mental and emotional characteristics.

😘🥰😍🤟

Ambiverts are those who are in the middle :)

Helped a lot !immense Gratitude

You understand!!

I used to be an introvert. I identify as an ambivert socially, as I’m not shy about talking to strangers like I was when I was younger, and I like being out, but I’m also fine with being a hermit. If a friend or two came over once or twice a month for like 5 hours, it would be a nice refresh from the mundane work to home schedule, and cabin fever. Ideally, I’d like to socialize at least every other weekend. I guess I’m still more on the introverted side tho, since I like mentally preparing myself to go out, and can get overwhelmed if last minute plans are made, and I’m pressured to tag along.

THE 3 MUSKETEARS...THE 1 WAS ME..2ND WAS PUTTIN AND 3RD WAS PRESIDEN JOKOWI...WORLD ALREADY KNOW

I can relate to this as somone who is that's why i would prefer to work for samller team than the newly merged I work with .

Def relate to not knowing how to make sense of myself or social preferences until I learned the term “introvert.” It’s pretty interesting now to see how people respond to my use of it.

How unpleasant it is for introverts you know they are pretty stupid and perfect

Its neither an introvert or extrovert problem, i think its an individual problem. Im in between, i prefer my own space, Definitely socially awkward, misunderstood etc however if im presented with an opportunity of a lifetime these downfalls i have isnt going to stop me! If i meet an extrovert who wants to talk to me, i will happily talk to that person. One thing ive noticed is, that extroverts are also misunderstood, a lot hide behind trauma, put on a happy mask and present themselves normal to the world, but WE who call outselves introverts judge the opposite to us too.

Just got to let people be themselves and you will come across good bad and the ugly but still keep it moving.

Everyone i meet misunderstands me but when they notice i havent changed, i dont put on a character and dont be fake they begin to see its just who i am. That makes people relax.

The ones who cannot accept me for who i am just mond their own business and i mind my own.

Being misunderstood is an individual problem not a introvert category problem.

Well it's just Psychology..not everyone who call themselves introvert are introverts they just misunderstood themselves probably.

You are a miracle, a savior.
Thank you for

saying it's ok, regardless of what others may think.

I feel like that is important, especially for certain people.

I never knew I was getting drained until fairly recently. I think I was sencing it but didn't know.
Now hearing you talk is confirming it.

I think I'm possibly catching up on rest after working in society with unknown ,undiagnosed social anxiety disorder( until few years ago)slash introvert for so many years.
I almost feel lucky it didn't give me a heart attack.
Resting and trying to walk every day feels so good.
Having space from society, a place that feels awkward to me is an incredible blessing for however much time I'm given.
I'm extremely greatfull and now to see and hear you talk about things I had no clue about is heart warming or something.

Interesting thing is that so many "shy introverts" like this lady speaks more and better than any extrovert! They never will understand what social anxiety and be lost means!

You're real and you're experiences are real.i like that about your videos and I can relate as I'm alone a lot.

I don’t care what anyone thinks of me! I do what I like and want !

And I’m so happy ☺️☺️🤩🤩🤍🤍🤩🤩 !

Every time, I get more and more confidence in MYSELF ! It’s so great !

I feel more and more wonderful every day inside of me! Incredible ! I love myself so much ! 🤍🤍
