The one about sitting on a subway is so random, but so true! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-introverts-out-there/page/2#post-1041519 Sat, 24 Aug 2013 13:41:43 +0000 SupernovaJ 1041519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband showed me this. He is a total introvert, and I am the complete opposite. I remember in the early stages of our relationship years ago, this difference posed so many problems for us (e.g. Social commitments especially). Since then I've totally become more open minded about introversion and I thought this article was really interesting / good for the masses as introverts can be really misunderstood sometimes.</p> <p>ETA even though I'm an extrovert, I also hate talking on the phone. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-introverts-out-there/page/2#post-1040709 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 19:24:12 +0000 LazyLightning 1040709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: yes. I'm like "god, who is bothering me now??" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-introverts-out-there/page/2#post-1040674 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 18:52:06 +0000 sarac 1040674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LazyLightning: SAME. I hate talking on the phone. Even my text message ding feels intrusive at times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-introverts-out-there/page/2#post-1040522 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 16:43:05 +0000 teamjse 1040522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>21/23 but I already knew I was an introvert. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-introverts-out-there/page/2#post-1040506 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 16:33:22 +0000 Caly 1040506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: exactly, I always thought everyone constantly had an inner monologue going on...cause I certainly do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-introverts-out-there/page/2#post-1040489 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 16:25:26 +0000 IRunForFun 1040489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: You know, I'm actually fine speaking in front of kids, I don't know if it's because I feel like they judge me less? Hahaha. And I have definitely gotten better at public speaking as I've gotten older, but it still gives me huge butterflies and the shakes when I have to do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-introverts-out-there/page/2#post-1040476 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 16:17:44 +0000 MrsSCB 1040476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can so relate, especially to the phone thing! I HATE talking on the phone, and I especially hate when someone calls and I'm not expecting it. I just feel unprepared and caught off guard and get all flustered -- it feels like an intrusion of sorts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-introverts-out-there/page/2#post-1040465 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 16:11:26 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1040465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>19/23 ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-introverts-out-there/page/2#post-1040447 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 16:05:25 +0000 Boheme 1040447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a total introvert married to an extrovert. The statements that article made about phone calls totally rang true for me. I screen calls and then text back when I'm ready. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-introverts-out-there#post-1040350 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 14:58:34 +0000 deactivated_account 1040350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I read that article on wednesday and thought, shoot, I’m totally an introvert which according to this article may or may not be considered a mental illness???? I felt bad, until I read this article:</p> <p><a href="http://happyplace.someecards.com/25864/signs-that-you-are-neither-an-introvert-nor-an-extrovert" rel="nofollow">http://happyplace.someecards.com/25864/signs-that-you-are-neither-an-introvert-nor-an-extrovert</a></p> <p>bahahahahahaha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-introverts-out-there#post-1040233 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 14:14:16 +0000 artsyfartsy 1040233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: I thought so too at first but I did some volunteer teaching at elementary schools for college and found it super easy to talk to kids in a group! I really owned it. But helping someone out one on one was much more difficult. </p> <p>After that I somewhat got over my fear of public speaking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-introverts-out-there#post-1040205 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 14:09:39 +0000 artsyfartsy 1040205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got all 23!! I'm married to an extrovert. He's so good at making friends and does so often. I'm terrified of the process of meeting new people and trying to organize ways to spend time together and I fear the awkwardness! I'm jealous of him!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-introverts-out-there#post-1040067 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 13:44:42 +0000 mrskc 1040067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Checkers: I thought the opposite-I thought everyone had an inner monologue. It's definitely not just you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-introverts-out-there#post-1039807 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 12:46:53 +0000 Boogs 1039807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a textbook introvert. The phone one especially spoke to me lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-introverts-out-there#post-1039800 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 12:45:21 +0000 HellOnHeels 1039800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another introverted extrovert. I love my alone time, but also enjoy people. I can't do small talk with another introvert (not enough of an extrovert to keep it going and gets awkward), but I can with an extrovert that can keep the conversation going. And I married an extrovert. I have been jealous of him at times because he's very likeable and he can shoot the shit with anyone, but I've come to realize that I have to get up and make myself a part of the conversation too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-introverts-out-there#post-1039724 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 12:27:07 +0000 mrswin 1039724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Checkers: Hahaha I have spent my whole life thinking I was the only one with a constant inner monologue, good to know there are a few of us out there. </p> <p>The one that rang truest for me was shutting down after being engaged for too long. I literally get agitated and panicked if we can't leave somewhere when I am "done". It doesn't matter if it a family event or something for work but as soon as I reach that limit I need to escape..... my poor DH doesn't understand </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-introverts-out-there#post-1039716 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 12:24:53 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1039716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mega introvert here ( plus a social anxiety disorder)- but DH is also an introvert (who acts like an extrovert due to his job). Small talk makes me so nervous. And I would totally rather speak to a large group than to one or two people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-introverts-out-there#post-1039709 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 12:21:31 +0000 mediagirl 1039709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband is one. I never understood why he needs to come home from vacation early in the day to have time to decompress. It just boggles my mind. Thankfully, I'm understanding him better now. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-introverts-out-there#post-1039702 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 12:17:51 +0000 BSB 1039702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always knew I was an introvert. I got 16 out of 23. Biggest thing for me is small talk. If things don't click with a person, I can be so awkward! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-introverts-out-there#post-1039689 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 12:15:18 +0000 Adira 1039689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>17/23 for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-introverts-out-there#post-1039688 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 12:14:50 +0000 doxielove 1039688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, definitely me! My biggest introvert offenses are screening calls (even from friends) and hating networking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-introverts-out-there#post-1039684 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 12:13:45 +0000 Grace 1039684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petunia354: Agree about the small talk! I think that's why I married an introvert - so that he can do it for me!</p> <p>@Mrs Checkers: I thought everyone had an inner monologue!! What do other people do with their brains when no one's around?<br /> : </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-introverts-out-there#post-1039660 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 12:07:12 +0000 GrapeCrush 1039660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>18 for me!
