Introverts are drained by social encounters and energized by solitary, often creative pursuits. Both technology and real person provide a balance.

TWEET. The person is a “good friend” only when it is convenient.

I literally can live completely (!) alone without seeing another human face for about a week. A real friend would have a legitimate reason for not wanting to be bothered. You feel like you are the only one that cares about being friends.

That is rather childish. We were only allowed to have a big party on our 5th and 10th birthdays. 15. This was very unexpected, and it caused me to feel in a way that I had previously thought was impossible for me. My parents took me and my sisters to DisneyLand for a whole week two years in a row.

It won’t.

Get answers by asking now. Their disposition is frequently misconstrued as shyness, social phobia or even avoidant personality disorder, but many introverts socialize easily; they just strongly prefer not to.

14. It’s generally pretty easy for me to meet new people if the conditions are right, but I’ve never been able to get past the initial conversation.

But the idea of being a good friend should occur all the time. Via him, I know three or four other guys I quite like (read: I tolerate :P ) I see him once in the month or so. I already am cutting so many people out because as you get older you just don’t have time for BS. Later, I started hanging out with one of the friends I made through that event. This has been my experience with life in general. There is no other word for it. This bothered me and made me wonder if maybe I wasn’t able to feel like most people. You never know who you're going to end up being friends with. I’m generally a nice guy, not because it’s my intention, but because it’s my default behavior. So if a person keeps saying, “I’m busy” time after time you should definitely not be impressed.

Its a part of maturing & knowing what you want.

it is totally normal to feel that way, but people usually think introverts look mean because they don't say much and are rather thinkers than talkers, don't forget to smile once in a way for another stranger or greet people friendly.

Because of this, it wasn’t normal for me to do much on my birthday. It’s hard not to expect things because pattern matching is how we survive. How can I convince my sister to delete her onlyfans account? A person should want to be bothered with both online/via text and in person.

Why are white boys at my high school so scared of black boys? Sex reveals the art of manipulation.

And it’s difficult to receive well if you see it coming.

Feelings have been a constant struggle for me. I know it's easy to get carried out with all the academic work and stuff and want to achieve your professional goals, but I believe that even as an introvert there are a lot of things that are still naturally good for us, and some interaction with (good) people are healthy for us (just like petting pups or kittens makes us release oxytocin and dopamine and feel happy, looking at someone's eyes in a kind talk, trusting someone, hugging someone, even as friends (let alone lovers) helps us a lot to feel happy...).
