Introverts

I cant meet people in real life and i feel like most of the other groups on here are too positive, too social for me to be in. So im creating one with an antisocial title. Maybe it will attract other introverts ;-;

introvert is not an antisocial title, but hi

I can carry a conversation all day long...as long as they are the one's directing it. It's when I have to come up with the topics on my own I have a problem.

Sooooo...you want a group of negative people who don't post to each other, but sit in their own pissed off little worlds of angst and turmoil....

Got it.

Introvert, awkward and antisocial are not mutually exclusive.

Moreover, this is a forum, so you can be who you want to be.

Hello, why don't you tell us what your goals are. I am not an introvert but I am sure there are a 100 other things I could relate to you on.

I'm introverted, but that's just how to I choose to recharge, it's not the reason I am awkward. THAT is because I am an anxious person. I am introverted because I like my alone time, I prefer smaller groups, and I get overstimulated by too much going on around me (like loud bars or parties). Give me my close friends and a board game, and I'm happy. Introvert does not equal negative.

I get the whole not good in big groups and what not.

I look at it this way. As long as youre not speaking about a career of being a carnival side act in where you bite off the heads of live chickens ( what a geek was before someone turned it into something "cooler" so to speak) than what holds you back? if its the thought of being judged that's going to happen either way, but why would one care about being judged by someone one doesn't know? You'll likely never meet anyone you meet on this forum. If you do it will be a "small group " thing anyhow so jump in get wet...the waters nice...if it feels too warm swim away as likely its on of the posters peeing in the pool.

Good explanation.
Introvert personality means you focus on internal thoughts and feelings rather than seeking external stimulation/validation. Introverts gain energy from solitude and are drained by social interactions. It doesn't mean they are poor at social interactions.
Don't confuse shy with introverted. One is intimidated and full of anxiety and the other is pacing yourself, recharging your batteries with a few minutes in the bathroom at a party, but still enjoying it.

There is nothing wrong with either one, but they are not the same.

I am not shy. I will introduce myself if someone doesn't introduce me at a meeting and I can stand up and give presentations and lectures all day long, but I'm definitely drained afterward and I thrive when I am sitting with my SO and a good book and a glass of Blanton's.

I am an introvert in that I do not harvest a large number of friends or have a robust social calendar. I do not feel anxious or ill-at-ease around most people, but I definitely require a good bit of alone time to recharge after events I do choose to attend.

I'm an introvert, but I am also shy most of the time until I get to know someone. I will carry on a conversation with people I don't know, but only if they do most of the talking so I tend to ask a lot of questions to get them to talk so I don't have too. I crave my alone time and get cranky and moody when it's been awhile since I've had any.

I'm an introvert with social anxiety and good manners. I'm the friendliest antisocial person you'd ever meet.

I might be kind of an introvert...maybe. lol. I sent you a friend request if you wanna talk about our goals and nutrition feel free to bemyyfriend! lol

Introversion isn't synonymous to negativity or antisocial. I'm an introvert and am neither of those things you mentioned. I was happy when I first saw a thread tittled "introverts", but really disappointed with how you choose to describe it.

That being said, I'm sure you will meet plenty of fellow introverts on here and I hope you find a group of friends with whom you are comfortable to talk about your health/fitness journey. Good luck!
