Introvert is just a sciency word for loser

I'm a mixture of both. Introverted on the weekdays and extroverted on the weekends.

This is cool. Thanks for sharing Camm.

Reminding comment to watch this when im not on Mobile.

I liked it. I find that I'm growing to be more introverted as age sets in. I used to be the type of guy who could walk into any party, not know anyone, and leave with a ton of new friends. Not so much, anymore. Now a days, I'd rather be left alone. I really don't know what changed.

I took the time to watch this because, being an introvert, I do like to learn about what other people think about that personality style. It's a very good video and Mrs. Cain makes a lot of great points I hadn't considered, especially in her mentions of how much introverts have done in the past, yet how much they are made to feel guilty for preferring their solitude. I can certainly relate. Group assignments always sucked for me in school because I preferred working alone. Doing so allowed me to think clearly, and in a determined fashion whereas group work tended to interrupt that process, at least for me, a lot more. Still, schools focus on putting people together as often as possible and alienating those who would prefer to work alone, not out of antisocialism, but out of an ability to work better that way. I hope more people like Mrs. Cain start coming out and making the same point she's trying to make: introversion isn't a negative personality trait and teaching/catering to it should be emphasized more in schools and workplaces. Not to say it's the best thing out there, but that behavioral style has a lot to offer and shouldn't be shunned to the degree it is. As much as I did want to teal deer the shit out of this video, it was a good watch and I appreciate your sharing it. And now back to celebratory drinking in the wake of the Patriots' victory over the Colts and playing video games.

It is very rare that something on the main forums seriously captures my attention. I'm glad I took the 20 minutes to watch this video, it was interesting.

I quite enjoyed this. Thanks for posting.

I've always been fundamentally introverted, and it's only in recent years, with the help of more extrovert friends, and the anonymity of the Internet, that I've been more socially and personally extrovert respectively. A small problem I have is that in trying to be more extrovert for the approval of those friends (yeah, I know), I occasionally turn on people more introverted than me, as if saying 'Ha! I'm more extroverted than them! Like me more!' That's not a good thing, and I realise that now.

Extrovert here, always dominating conversation or going out. Love meeting new people.

What do you call someone who is both. I love being around friends and hanging out. Then there are some days where I want nothing to do with the outside world

My 8th grade teacher would make us do 1 TED talk per semester. If I learned anything in that class it was how to present, before I would just read off a PowerPoint slides, but TED talks really showed me how to interact with the audience.

I love being an introvert.

Introverts are annoying af. This generation will label anything with asterisks as long as it benefits them. You guys aren't doing anything special, you're just spending time away from people with the benefit of not being called a loser, just a bunch of prissy high maintenance bullshit. You're essentially cats in human form. "Exploring ideas" just sounds pretentious as hell to me.

I'm reading a book about the particulars of being an introvert called "Quite: Living in a world that can't stop talking". My wife says I'm kind of developing into one. I'm only in part 2 chapter 6. But I like what I've read so far.

I'm an introvert. Being college i have not once been to a party or gotten drunk. I know people who are extroverts who do those things and have gotten nothing but pain and misery from it. Me, I prefer to spend my time with more a mature and small group of friends.
