It’s been a bit since I’ve been on this, because of school and such, and I’m sorry. ;w; However, submissions—as always—are still open. Thank you all!

hi there. i'm an extremely introverted person (although sometimes i do really wonder) and i completely support this blog. after seeing hate from some nasty anon i had to put this out there. i think there's a lot more in common between us than people would like to believe. to make intro/extroversion another "us and them" is absurd when we should be using all of this to better understand and appreciate not only ourselves but each other.

Why thank you so much, first off. :’) But I do agree with you…It’s not as if we’re completely different species, but I do have to wonder sometimes; when I look at the people I know, and then what the people who know them see, it feels like we’re talking about different people. And I think you’ve nailed it on the head; this is to help understand, not cause a fight over! Thank you!

Around 6 months ago I'd have been of described as an introvert without a doubt whereas now I seem to alternate between the two extremes daily, but regardless of what I am I think this blog is awesome. The entire, 'introverts are oppressed' idea has been totally blown out of proportion, or at the very least there needs to be a greater emphasis placed on the other argument.If you find yourself craving for human interaction it's just as bad as being overwhelmed by it; society doesn't cater to both.

Thank you very much. I’d have to agree with you actually; just because there’s a lot of people in the world doesn’t mean there’s always somebody willing to talk with you… And I’m not quite sure people get it. :/ As it is though, thank you for your time! :’D I hope you don’t mind sticking around; I’m getting the feeling that there’s about to be a huge amount of drama…

My MBTI is ENFJ(Teacher). Gotta get out there and teach! (Lol JK, I'm a software engineer, probably the most introverted job I could get)

Mon, 26 Mar 2012 11:41:38 -0400

Oh, that still sounds like fun though! If you want to go out and teach, teach what you know! (Besides, just because a job’s introverted doesn’t mean that it has to stay that way. All depends on the person doin’ the job. C: )

Forty three followers when did this happen? As it is, thank you guys! :’D Submissions are open! (Please send in some it’s so lonely here)

it's great that you noticed an imbalance in extrovert/introvert presence on the internet & did something to change that. we're different kinds of people which can lead to misunderstandings & hurt feelings in interactions with each other. it'll help everyone to be aware of both perspective and to know that one isn't better than the other and that both groups have their own legitimate issues and concerns.

First off, I’d like to say thank you. And you’re exactly right; there’s a lack of communication between introverts and extroverts alike, and something needs to be done about it, otherwise nothing will change. Once more though—thank you!

Extroverted books, perhaps?

Mon, 19 Mar 2012 20:09:35 -0400

I don’t think they do exist, actually. I went to the public library today to see if I could dig anything up on extroverts at all. Turns out that the only book there is is Quiet. Not that that’s a problem or anything, it’s just that—after doing a bit more digging with MBTI in general—everything was about introverts. And that’s not fair to us; we’re people too. Why don’t we get our own books?

This is yet another reason I need help finding out positive information about extroverts.

submitters note: I know many many people and the rate of intro - extro is pretty much even XD - also an interesting thing to note is that different societies around the world can be either introverted or extroverted - ie America is an extroverted society, while Japan is an introverted society.

Hahah thank you so much for the reblog and for this site! Brilliant! And I admit my post is not perfectly worded but I was having a bit of a rant and that always has a danger of happening XDD

You are more than welcome, fellow extrovert. And please, continue to rant; you’ve said what I don’t feel I have the guts to say. (:

SOMETHING THAT REALLY BOILS MY KETTLE ON THE INTERNET

Thu, 15 Mar 2012 20:55:26 -0400

ramember:

when people post things about introverts

and make them out to be SO SPECIAL and have SUCH A HARD TIME

and then people reblog like: OMG FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS!111!!!!

…

Guess what

Being an extrovert is NOT ANY EASIER THAN BEING AN INTROVERT

I am pretty bored of seeing posts with introverts constantly being like NO ONE UNDERSTANDS MY INTROVERSION. Well I feel the same way about my extroversion.

Sometimes when I am alone for too long, it sucks! It sucks having to depend on other people to gather energy! Because I feel rude constantly barraging people to hang out and converse with! I wish I could gain energy from being alone, but I NEED to socialise and that can be a very draining thing to worry about. I have had anxiety attacks from needing to be around people so much, but have been too embarrassed to try and bother people for attention.

I also have heaps of introverted friends so I understand what they prefer. I don’t get offended when they tell me they just want to be alone. I see so many posts where extroverts are made out to be these horrible bad guys who just won’t stop asking questions and are constantly trying to include you in things and are always partying and being loud. SO RUDE.

Actually, just because I prefer to socialise and gain energy from social situations. Doesn’t mean I have to be socialising 24/7. Guess what, I like taking walks by myself and reading books alone too - SHOCK HORROR

SO to all the introverts out there! Try and take better care of your extroverts. Just because we recharge our batteries in different social situations, that doesn’t mean that we are completely different.

Maybe not exactly the way I would had phrased it, but this is legitimately how I—and most other extroverts on tumblr—feel.

We’re trying to understand you. Please try to understand us.
