[QUOTE=Keyblockor;19176823]At Grade six, They believed I had "Autism" because of this since I'm introverted, Turns out, my IQ is 124, and they still say I have "Autism", Bullshit.[/QUOTE] You can still be autistic and smart. It's called high functioning autism or Aspergers and it's not uncommon, genius.
itt: op needs to get friends
[QUOTE=pie_is_good;19176875]You can still be autistic and smart. It's called high functioning autism or Aspergers and it's not uncommon, genius.[/QUOTE] I know, but the main fact they based it around me not being very outgoing, which in my terms is bullshit.
When my friends invite me out and stuff, I always would rather stay at home, on my own. Am I an introvert or am I just a larry?
I don't mind saying home a lone at all, I love it, but I also love being out with friends and going to parties. I don't mind it. I could stay home for a week without leaving the house and I would be fine, but if any of my friends wants to go out and do something with a lot of people I'll go, I dont mind at all. I'm weird... Its cause im to lazy to do stuff, not that I avoid it.
lol get friends
I'm an introvert, but I constantly feel lonely. But being around lots of people drains me. But that's mostly because a lot of people suck, I think. :frown:
Since falling out with my group of friends my post count has gone up buy about 400 in 2 weeks.
[QUOTE=~ZOMG;19176912]When my friends invite me out and stuff, I always would rather stay at home, on my own. Am I an introvert or am I just a larry?[/QUOTE] Depends, do you like peace and quiet and relaxation, and doing something intresting or that takes time. Or do you sit on the couch all day and don't bother to get up.
I prefer one on one conversations rather than group discussions.
[QUOTE=Keyblockor;19176908]I know, but the main fact they based it around me not being very outgoing, which in my terms is bullshit.[/QUOTE] There is a good chance you do have Aspergers then. Aspergers affects your behaviour, makig you more secluded, it's one of the ways they notice it in almost all cases. Also that test gave me Introvert Extrovert. Problem is, to my standards I am heavly Introverted, if I can avoid social interaction you bet your ass I will.
I am introvert extrovert :buddy:
i too am introverted and the OP makes a lot of sense with this. i don't loath the telephone i just don't use it that often but i hate using sites such as my space or facebook as i think they are pointless and a waste of time. i also prefer working alone as i reckon that i can get more done and done quickly as within groups as there is always the chance of conflict and different opinions. i seriously hate people that "go out" drinking or socializing every minute of there life,i prefer to be chilling back watching some TV as i feel more comfortable that way. As i work in a shop i know i am not shy and socially inept as i talk all the time to customers and my co workers, i just choose not to be part of the machine.
fuck, thank you for the diagnosis doctuar
I'm alright being alone or in a large group but my ideal is with a mid-sized group of friends. What does that make me, and intrextrovert?
I don't really like being on my own but I don't like being in big groups either most people I like to be around at one time is like 3
I'm p. sure my genitals have Introversion.

I like parties as long as i'm pissed.
[QUOTE=M2k3;19175480]Work in retail/sales for a little bit and you get over this [i]fast[/i].[/QUOTE] Oddly I done that and found it easy in a role as opposed to at a party or in a group of people but doing it in a role had no effect on my want or non-want to communicate in other social situations.
Although I much prefer going out and I gain from social encounters rather than get drained, I prefer small groups to large ones. That's probably a different thing entirely though.
Whats the opposite of introversion, because that's me. Shit I need to read the op more often.
I'm an introvert as well, though I sometimes go out, maybe every 2-3 months or so, and even then only with a group. Parties don't interest me, it's all about getting wasted and hooking up with drunk chicks. And that's definitely not something I like. I also feel the need to be alone after prolonged socializing, that makes me feel a lot better.
I'm an introvert with no social skills. I'm a loser. I'm Going to defend my loosiness.
I'm nearly one. I'm just stuck in a spot with a majority of immature dolts (school). I don't enjoy being around most of the people there, even though they enjoy me. There's some people I openly antagonize over how immature and naive they are. I have basically one real friend, and I'd like to know more people who can have a conversation on my level, but they are very few.
Lol, ads. [IMG]http://i47.tinypic.com/29bhfkm.jpg[/IMG] :smug:
ITT: 85% of the facepunchers realize they are introverts.
I was more destroyed by being in big groups rather than drained. I refuse to talk to most people these days.

I live in a small town, so I'm stuck with the locals. I mean they're good friends, but most of them are really immature. For example you could have an interesting conversation with them, but it's bound to turn into a "girls I want to fuck" or a "how this guy sucks" discussion.
I'm introverted, it's nothing amazing. The one mistake people make is to think that I'm bad at socialising. I've been spoken to about getting bullied when I've never been bullied in my life, I remember getting in an argument with one teacher who refused to believe it was possible for me to be happier alone than I could be in a group and constantly insisted that I was being bullied when I had plenty of friends and had no trouble socialising with anyone in the room. It's extremely tiring having to explain over and over again that there's nothing wrong and that you're happy alone to people who just can't understand it or accept it. People seem to think being an introvert is bad when it isn't and that by trying to turn you into an extroverted person they're doing you a favour. Apparently my personality is of the type 'INTJ - Mastermind'.
