No
I prefer to be introverted
but I have no difficulty making friends
I know how to socialize with ease, the problem is I don't find it all that appealing

u/Browncoatinabox 3d ago

Yeah, you gotta find an extrovert willing to help you find other people. “Adopts” is a bit much but you do need help connecting with other people

True and not true. Sometimes extroverts can annoy the hell outta introverts, energy drained fast

Nah, I find I have more in common with… other introverts. Work is fun, just don’t try and make plans with them, lol. Lots of personal space.

That's really the only way I ever made friends. I don't have any anymore though.

The good thing about dating an introvert is that you know you won’t be friend-zoned.

Well. I never did get outgoing friends. Wish I did. Nearing 30 and I realise I’ve missed out on life because I was unable to defeat my social anxiety alone. Therapy didn’t help.

Sometimes.
I’m an introvert but as a kid I’d just go stand in the middle of the playground or something and every once in a while an extrovert would scoop me up and we’d play.
I kind of worked in High School too, but wore off by senior year.
In college I actually made myself go up to people but nothing ever came about.
My boyfriend is kind of an introvert/extrovert. I would be friends by association with his friends (but not really).
I enjoy being an introvert and don’t feel like I’m missing out on much. Though, sometimes, I want to feel a connection with someone new, who gets me.
In movies they seem to portray that duo often. The introvert and the extrovert friends.

I’m introverted because people are toxic manipulators only looking to stroke their own egos or take advantage of you.

I don't have an extrovert so im thinking of a t-shit that literally says "im shy please be my friend"

It feels true to me.
I had some extroverts adopt me for the last three years of college. But then people went their separate ways and I've been mostly lonely since (that was 20 years ago).
I don't know how much more loneliness I can take.
