7 Things Introverts Are Tired Of Hearing

Introverts. Once in a while you see them in the corner of a room full of people, silently, rather awkwardly, sitting alone. That awkwardness turns into super-awkwardness because
some of you choose to go and say certain really annoying things, which they have heard a million times before.

Now, you might have excellent intentions and they might not answer back in a negative way, but remember, they are answering you back in their brains silently, and, often those answers aren't something you will receive well if you heard them.
1. Why are you sitting alone? Are you upset?
No. No, my dear well-wisher. I am not upset or sad or anything close to the definition of depressed. I am enjoying my own silence. I like doing it every now and then. You should try it, too.

2. How about a party/ get-together/
hang out?
I won't refuse but if I am not really comfortable with you or someone who is tagging along and if it rains cats and dogs on that sunny morning, it's me who had wished for it. Just saying.

3. You are so quiet and serious all the time. How do you enjoy yourself?
I was enjoying myself. I was enjoying the calm and quiet environment. And then you showed up. You should try being quiet sometimes, too. It's therapeutic, at least for the people around you. Thank you.
Ughh. These are the times when I wish I could say all that I was thinking.

4. Oh, you are so boring! How do you spend your free time?
Oh, you have no idea! I crack lame jokes. To myself. Also, to my really close friends. I will do that with you too if we will get on a more comfortable space.
On a general note, we introverts think to ourselves all that you would say to others, and it is in no way boring.

5. The more you talk to new people, the more you will like socializing.
Hear me out. That's not how it works. “The more the better” isn't how it works here. It's like saying “jumping into the blazing fire more often will help you get more insulated every time.” Doesn't work.

6. You don't talk to me often. Don't you like talking to me?
See. You use your mobile phone for a few hours and then you put it to charge. When it is fully recharged, you use it again. It is the same with me.

Talking to new people depletes me of my energy, so much so, that I don't want to get into a conversation with literally anyone for the day. So, I take my time to charge up. The next day, when I am mentally ready, I will talk to you or anyone. I just need some time. Please, no assumptions about how I hate you because you are near me and I am not picking up a conversation.

7. You are an introvert? How do take up your leadership responsibilities when needed?
First thing. Do not underestimate me and all that I can do. Or for that matter, do not underestimate anyone. Secondly, leadership qualities do require me to interact with my team but that is just one percent of the job. I can manage that one percent.

The rest has got to do with me using my brain to create strategies and take decisions, take feedbacks and suggestions and then come up with better plans, and remember, introverts stay more in their brains than anywhere else.

Woah, that is too much of an information about why I do things that I do. Now, let me tell you one thing. This was written with a touch of good humor and some of the things were exaggerated because exaggeration is my forte nowadays.
This post was purely to make one point. If you see someone sitting all alone and prefers not talking to anyone, do not try forcing them to speak. You will make them hate you without them expressing it to you. Just saying.

Keep Smiling! 😊
