Thank you:) Reading your comment and as well the rest of the comments gave me a great relief that I am not the only one who is feeling this way.

“Aren’t you bored because you don’t go out,” for me it has always been a matter of, I get bored when I got out. I’ve never been big on parties and whenever I am at one I am pretty sure I stick out like a sore thumb, easily recognisable as the guest among the residents of revelry-loving folks. I’m quick to reach my point of satisfaction. Whenever I do get out the point of arriving and leaving is almost successional I don’t not need to see the whole party to get the point. I enjoy going out I just hate staying when i no longer want to be there.

Thank you so much for this article!! Reading things like this make me feel myself. I have this big open air student ‘festival’ tonight and I’ve been trying to make myself go for weeks. Last year I got so drunk before we went so I could have fun. All my friends love things like this and every time I decline I feel like I’m weird and boring. Because as a student you should go out twice a week? And spend all your money on alcohol right? Sit in 8am lectures with a hangover? I hate that I feel like I should be like that

In reply to Kerwin Lum.

I went to a few parties, I was so bored. People who like parties for the most part have narrow minds and bore me. I just thought college was so adolescent, no one grows up yet and is still immature which annoyed me. I just couldn’t enjoy being around it call me elitist and a snot but I preferred mature people who liked a good time not every damn weekend but certainly once in a while-I just surrounded myself with that and lo the haters sure hated me for that choice-they wanted me of course out every weekend like most everyone else. Basically annoying people who don’t like different people, immature for sure and had a lot of growing up to do.
Funny thing some of them hate nice people, the very definition of a hater. They pick on more interesting people because haters are dull and like to drink to escape their rotten foul existence.

I think the majority are at war against introverts- we can’t help it we usually don’t gel too well with extrovert people, especially in phony environments like college.

I went to college and was so glad to join the real world where you can do whatever the hell you want and not have some asshole extrovert judge you on not enjoying your college experience, they somehow think it’s better just to go to school and not work for a living. News flash working people go to parties too-far more enjoyable to go when you have money and people actually are more mature than college kids who get to check off their laundry lists of must dos including getting an std, a boyfriend who won’t marry them, and the worshipped trifecta of screwing, studying, and sports, and “relationships” that only happen because everyone has to be in a couple.

Most people don’t even marry anyone they date in college what the hell why do they need to couple up when they don’t want to-why not casually date?! the only reason is because guys want to screw and girls lack the self esteem and brains to see through it. I’m speaking for the majority I’m sure there are exceptions. For all the haters who think you are antisocial remember the hater people are boring and hostile towards truly interesting people.

There are extroverts and introverts. One isn’t better than the other. But these two do exist. Society (at least our’s) really favors the former while condemning the latter. I’m an introvert, and we’re often stereotyped as anti-social, narcissistic, and whole lot of other derogatory names. Nothing could be farther from the truth. It’s just that we’re much more selective and cautious as to who we associate with and who we open up to. Not everyone has good intentions. Instead of turning to others for acceptance and emotional security, we acquire this within ourselves. Be proud that you’re an introvert!

I am a hardcore introvert myself. Well, actually an Ambivert. But the scale is much, much heavier on the Introvert side so I am still an Introvert and I am proud to be one.
I’ll be bored? I should hang out with friends more? I should play outside more? No, thank you. I rather stay at home and be in my room. I don’t need to have fun the way other people will have fun.

Wow this so fits me as well. I’m in college and with so many parties going on and my roommates always going to parties, I feel like I’m not normal for not wanting to go party with them on the weekend. Sometimes it’s difficult making friends or making contacts for work experience after college since I don’t do anything socially. That;s one of the drawbacks of an introvert I guess.

thanks for sharing. think its important to recognise that we simply just like different things. the thing is there seems to be just more extroverts who like to be ‘out there’ but thats the thing, thats what extroverts do! wow i just got this while typing but, isn’t it obvious that not a lot of introverts would be going out to party because they recognise that going out is just not for them or going to parties often. of course they go to parties, its just that they choose the ones that work for them. they dont force themselves because they recognise that they have boundaries that they are not like extroverts who like to go out more often. introverts just are; their comfort place may be more of the quite type and thats just obvious because we are introverts we like the quite while extroverts just find out going places to be their comfort. Yh i think its just recognising that we simply like or are comfortable with different things we see a lot of extroverts liking parties cuz thats what theyre comfortable with duh – and introverts you dont see them as much at parties because they know its not really something they enjoy that much. i think its really just about recognising our place in a good way like we all know extroverts might dislike so much just reading at home while introverts love that. the thing is extroverts dont force themselves to read at home when they know its not for them. i think the difference between extroverts and introverts is that extroverts are confident and go for what they like whereas introverts dont and are always second guessing themselves i guess this is to do with society looking down on introverts to begin with thus we question ourselves we’ve brought up to believe that introverting is wrong in this society thats why you could say is one of the bigger cause. if we were treated as equally as extroverts and seen as okay then we would just be as confident as extroverts to go after what we want and not force ourselves to go to parties just as extroverts do not force themselves to read books stay at a quite place or whatever. the difference is that they know themselves and are okay with themselves because they’ve been taught that extroverting is alright in society, whereas introverts have been looked down on therefore introverts think there is something wrong with them when in reality its just a fucked up world we live in haha joking its a biased world thats what it is. equality is just non existent in this world – yet. but i think were getting there, hopefully.

Thank you for this. I really needed to hear it. I mean, I’ve heard it before, but I really needed to hear it again. I am not boring – and when I stay home and read or something like that it doesn’t mean I don’t live my life. It’s actually when I do that, that I feel most alive. Or when I’m with one friend and our conversations turn deep and meaningful. That’s where I’m living life to the fullest. I need to remember that – but it tends to blur away in today’s society. Thanks again for reminding me!
