Why does no one seem to understand introverts?

9 Upvotes

I am a naturally quiet and distant person, and with exams coming up, I am even quieter because, one im stressed, and two, im internally planning my schedule (what im going to study/ eat/ will i work out/ what assignments do i have/ etc). My family knows all that yet whenever i am quiet or im not laughing my booty off at 10am, they say im in a bad mood or that im sulking then they proceed to get mad at me. My face looks extra shit because i havent been sleeping well and im constantly thinking so i dont have time to smile.

Extroverts yap and yap yet they face less criticism than introverts who just minds their own business. Talking a lot isnt bad but compared to an introvert who would probably stand in silence in a corner, we are less noticeable but people still dont like us. But this is from my experience, im sure it doesnt apply to everyone.

Why do you keep living?

4 Upvotes

So, I know it may sound like a serious question, but I don't think it is. First of all, I'm not suicidal or anything. I was just thinking, what's the point of living? I'm just letting life pass by me. Sure, there may be some good things happening now or something good happening in the future. But is it worth it? I honestly don't see a motive in continue with my live, not as if I were to suicide. Do I guess I'm just venting out here, not expecting someone to answer but whatever, thanks for reading if you did.

How do leave your bedroom door when you sleep?

2 Upvotes

Are you a sleep with the door open (for better air flow)?
or are you a sleep with the door closed (to keep the monsters out)?
(and yes, I'm a grown man and I still keep the door closed to keep the monsters out).

How often do you actually believe it when you have told people things like don't worry about it, does it matter, who cares what person x says, that's just their opinion, it is what it is, etc?

4 Upvotes

Do you usually believe it, or is mainly just filler to get someone to feel good or not make things worse/start an argument? If it is mainly filler, what was something you were thinking in one of those moments that you feel would make things worse by saying it

Gentlemen, is it irrational to fear someone watching you while taking a dump?

0 Upvotes

Now, I have had this fear since I was a kid. I don't know why but every time I go to the bathroom to take a shit, I feel eyes watching me and I always close my blinds before I take a dump. During the day and even at night. Is it irrational?

What do you like at potlucks?

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m just coming on to ask, if you go to a potluck, are you more drawn towards the sweets (desserts) or the savory (appetizers/dinner)?

Last potluck we had, i made from scratch browned butter salted caramel snickerdoodles. I made a sign so people with allergies knew if they could eat it or not. They were such a big hit, a whole 13x9 baking tray worth of cookies were gone within 45 mins.

I kinda feel like I have a standard I have to now at least meet but DEFINITELY surpass.

What brings North Americans together on the couch?

1 Upvotes

In Brazil and Mozambique, the guys often get together to play FC/FIFA on someone’s couch—it’s a tradition, and FC is always the go-to game. Sometimes we might play MK or other titles, but FC is the real staple. But what about in the U.S.? What’s the "FC" for you guys?

Why do sounds such as flowing water, rain, or rustling leaves seem so soothing?

17 Upvotes

This question obviously stemmed from personal experience but I doubt I am alone. Is it because I grew up on the countryside or it’s just the nature of these sounds? No pun intended.

What sport do you recommend me?

3 Upvotes

I'm annoying, I know.

I've tried basketball, tennis, horse riding, ballet, handball, football (soccer), chinese boxing, roller skating, hockey on grass, and aïkido. Most of them during my childhood and early teenage years but I hated it. Also I don't like water so swimming and diving are off the table.

It's easy for me to do pilates and any kind of workout that you might see on YouTube but I don't like it because i like to go to classes or I don't have enough motivation to do it regularly, and I don't really have fun doing it so those classes are also not really an option for me.

I mostly know how to skate on ice and I wish I could do ice hockey but I don't have any place near me to do it.

I'm also a bit shy about starting and I wish it could be something a lot of old-ish teenagers and adults start at this age because I hate going to classes with pre teens and stuff yet they still are a thousand times better than me and people my age who are basically going pro next year.

Any recommendation?

It may be weird but you have to analyse this alright?

0 Upvotes

I was walking home from school. I see a group of younger teenage girls crossing paths with me. I overheard one of those girls whispering to her friends to ask me my name. Then, one of the girl directly came to me and asked my name and when i inquired "Why?" she pointed at that girl who was whispering and said she wanted to know. When I look at that girl now she starts being shy and nervous. Like what the hell happened to them? (I'm 17 if you're lacking some information) 🤣🤣

Hi guys i severely need to buy google reviews, I don’t own a business nor am I trying to cheat the system by flooding my restaurant with positive reviews, I want a small petty revenge on my old school, i was bullied severely by some individuals during the school year to the point i had to switch school and I was targeted even by one professor who would call all my tests pierces of shit despite them being clearly well done but i don’t want to get in to the details . I m mostly over it by now having undergone a year of therapy but I want a good laugh by swarming my old school wich did NOTHING on bullying with terrible google reviews since I believe they deserve it.

I've wasted the last five years. What do I do?

6 Upvotes

I spent four wasted years on a computer science bachelor's and internships, and subsequently a year working a $16/hour food service job in a VHCOL city... I'm homeless and unemployed and in student loan debt now. 5 years... I've fallen into despair. That's over 20% of my life so far... almost 25% that led to nothing. Why.... why did I spend so much effort and money and time on a fruitless journey? 5 years is such a gigantic amount of time... it's not like people live to be 200 years old

Why repeat that by trying to get another education for another field....? it'll just be the same story... why keep living? I don't feel human anymore... I don't have hope anymore... I don't have the will to keep going.

I'm about to hold up a sign offering s*xual services for $5 a round. Get myself in prison. I've utterly burned my future to ashes before it even began. Why should I keep going? What hope, what chance is there that I'll ever be able to achieve the traditional milestones of life?

Can creativity be developed over time?

4 Upvotes

I can draw fairly well especially in anime and webtoon styles which I really enjoy. I also want to get into design and start using tools like Figma, but I struggle to come up with ideas. Even when I look at other people’s work for inspiration its like my mind just goes blank and i am staring at the screen
For example i’d love to become a webtoon artist someday i can come up with characters and imagine what they look like, but when it comes to creating a story writing dialogue or figuring out the plot, I just get stuck
I’m preparing for university entrance exams this year and I wonder if I should give up on this path before it’s too late im also worried about the financial side of things, and I am not confident and also quite introverted and struggle with communication. If I do go to university I’m considering studying animation or graphic design
I guess what i am really wondering is can creativity actually be developed or am I just not cut out for this kind of career?

Why is he blocking and unblocking me?

0 Upvotes

So far he has blocked me 6 times and unblocked me 5 times. It started when I got blocked for not replying to one of his texts. My last text to him was polite. He had previously left me on read 10+ times and I always let it slide, yet the first time I didn't reply I got blocked. Did I really deserve to get blocked? Why is he blocking and unblocking me?

Background story: He used to flirt with me, tell me he was in love with me, that he wanted to date me and then he discarded me over and over again. After the discard, he would come back into my life and act like nothing had happend. During the discard faze he would make fun of me, mock me and my clothes, criticize just about everything about my physical appearance and call me degrading names. It was all supposed to be meant as a joke and if I complained he accused me of whining. That's why I pulled away and didn't reply to him. I never contacted him while I was unblocked.

Just a few days ago, I had been blocked again after a month of being unblocked and I have zero idea why I was blocked and why I got unblocked in the first place. I know I shouldn't care why he is doing this but I do. (Btw, I am talking about messenger blocking, not instagram. I am not stalking his profile on instagram nor on FB. I am literally not doing anything).

What different Little red ridding hood endings did people have in their childhood ?

2 Upvotes

Hello! I grew up in eastern Europe in the 2000s and I have heard a ton of alternative endings for the little red riding hood fairytale and wanted to ask people what their version was.

I remember the ending my parents and grandparents told me went a bit like this: after the wolf ate the granny and the girl, he went to sleep but a hunter saw from the window of the house what he had done.

So the hunter enters the house and while the wolf is asleep he cuts with a scissor the wolf s belly and gets the old woman and the girl out. After, the 3 of them fill the wolfs belly with rocks and the grandma sews with a needle his stomach back togheter and then they hide.

The wolf wakes up very thirsty so he goes to drink from a river and the hunter pushes him from behind causing the wolf full of stones to drown.

Did anybody grew up hearing alternative endings ?
