INTROVERTS - You're in!

[kiaramae_0403]

^madalas pa sa ganong tao bully  naghahanap lagi ng kakampi nya, kaya lahat sa group kinakaibigan, as if i care  kahit na magsamasama sila, importante meron parin akong kaibigan at hindi sya yun..

[px17]

^^ same here sis! I have this friend way back first year hs. Take note 5th year na ko ngayon.. Super totoo ako sakanya as in parang kapatid trato ko. Tapos siniraan niya ko just because she fell inlove with my ka-MU that time, which is my boyfriend hanggang ngayon. Simula nun twing nagkikita kami parang hindi siya nageexist at hanggang ngayon super inis padin ako sakanya.

medyo late na post ko pero i think my husband is extrovert. tapos sya yung madaldal.
 pag naman nagalit i just keep quiet at di mamamansin or pag inis na inis talaga iiyak nako.

Problem ko, sa pagiging introvert ko, napagkakamalan akong suplada/mataray.

[jtansanco]

^ Same lang tayo. Bagay sa atin ang "Don't judge a book by its cover" quote. I guess best way is to smile often.

[px17]

^^same here. Yung mga kaclose ko yun first impression sakin masungit/supladita daw ako. Intimidating pa nga daw ako. Good thing naman sakin yun kasi most of the time talaga gusto ko mag-isa.

[jtansanco]

Introverts! Medyo perfectionists tayo when it comes to planning what to do diba? What do you do/feel if, let's say, hindi natupad yung isang long-term goal/plan niyo when the day has come?

Wala lang.. Just want to vent because I have been planning for something big and lagi nalang nadedelay and it's like I really just wanna fast forward time. It's just irritating na hindi masunod-sunod yung timeline because it's dependent on other's actions eh.. HAYYY.

[angelzero]

^ i dunno of it has something to do with being introvert. when that happens to me, i don't get too much frustrated. but when you said you depend on other's actions to meet your goal, maybe as an introvert, you just can't simply assert yourself to people to get a move on. you hesitate to call out people on their lack of urgency. that i can relate to.

[jtansanco]

^ Yeah, something like that. If they can't do it, I wish they could just tell me so I can just go on an alternative route. It sucks if you have to rely on someone because you can't do that particular task..

Parang ang laki ng galit ko sa mundo. Haha

[angelzero]

^haha! i understand your frustration.

anyhoo, can anyone relate to me when i say i don't like office parties and whatever social events they have. i mean, i like parties when it's with my closest family and friends. i could be rowdy and stirring up the crowd. pero pag office events ayoko na. parang walang use pumunta. hahaha!

[gorgeous_me]

^ I can so relate, pahirapan akong yayain, maliban na lang kung talagang close ko yung mga makakasama ko, go go talaga ako, pero kung iba, hmm, hindi ako nagdadalawang isip, ayoko talagang sumama, kasi, feeling ko tatahimik lang ako don, maliban na lang kung may ka-close ako na pupunta, hehe...kasi lam ko kapag mga ka-close ko yung mga kasama ko, at least maingay talaga kami

kaya napagkakamalan akong suplada, tahimik, hehe
pero kapag sa mga ka-close ko naman, magtataka sila, ikaw? tahimik

Hello fellow introverts! I've been lurking at this thread for some time, but never had the chance to post something.

Question! Would you regard yourself too as someone who's rather skilled in burning bridges? Ako kasi yung tipong mas okay na na mauna akong lumayo kesa ako yung layuan/kalimutan. Gaya nung matapos ang high school grad (and college grad), lahat ng communication lines sa classmates ko, pinutol ko na. As in di na ako nagpakita sa kanila ever since, haha! Lagi akong ganito, nakakainis! I'm too evil, I know! Don't get me wrong, I still have my circle of friends, pero bilang na bilang lang talaga yung pinagkakatiwalaan ko talaga at nakakaintindi sa mga ganitong kabaliwan ko. Maybe I'm just too melodramatic for my own good, but I'm just wondering if other introverts do this too.

[gorgeous_me]

^parang ganyan din ako sis, hehe
hindi ko naman pinutol yung communication but I'm not the one who initiate things, hehe...minsan hindi ako nagrereply o kaya hindi ako pwede sa get together, kasi busy busyhan, kasi parang hindi ko feel (sama ko, wahaha)...naiinis din ako minsan sa sarili ko, pero sabi ng isa kong friend, e ganon daw talaga ako, ok lang daw naman, baby steps...
like you sis, pili lang talaga yung mga ka-close ko, kahit na marami akong kabarkada, hindi ako nagcoconfide sa kanila, gusto ko kasing kausap yung nakakarelate ako sa kanya, na hindi ako tutuksuhin, hehe

[karxn]

^Wow, good to know na may kaparehas ako!

Nakakarelate ako dun sa nagkukunwaring busy (kahit di naman talaga) kapag wala sa mood makipagkita kahit kanino. Haha! I'm a well-known flaker! Parang ang proud ko pa noh? Haha!

Pero tama yung sabi mo sis, ganun na talaga siguro tayo. It's part of our nature. It's really nice that we have friends who understand us. Haha!

[jtansanco]

^ Same here. If I'm not in the mood, gagawa lang ako na excuse na busy or may ibang plans (even though wala) para hindi ako sasama sa mga gatherings.. Haha

[angelzero]

@karxn ganyan din ako. wala nakong pake sa mga high school classmates/batchmates ko. all i care about are the 3 friends i had when i was in hs. anyone else, dedma na. kahit sa fb. someone made an fb page for our batch. everytime may bagong topic nagkakagulo sila dun. ako hindi ko sila pinapansin. i remove all notifications from that group kasi something would come up from time to time, nakakairita minsan. and of course, excited silang lahat sa possible reunion ng batch. me, no way. hehe. i don't think it's "evil" to ignore your batchmates kung di mo naman talaga sila naging ka-close. kung dati di nako nakakarelate sa mga kababawan nila, what more ngayon.

[px17]

^Good to know hindi ako nag-iisa. haha Twing inaaya ako ng mga hs batchmate ang dami kong dahilan. Sumama lang ako sa 4 na kaclose ko nung hs and sa iba wala na akong pake. Kahit makasalubong ko hanggat hindi ako nakikita hindi ko papansinin (ang sama noh).

Last time nung nagparenew ako ng driver's license ko may girl na nagapproach sakin sabi sakin "Uy magkasabay tayo! ang tagal naten noh" tapos nginitian ko lang sabay nilayasan ko. Tapos maya maya katabi ko na sa upuan. Kahit dinadaldal niya ako isang tanong isang sagot lang. kainis kasi eh..may ugali pa naman ako gusto ko ng tahimik at mapagisa

[karxn]

Haha! Pare-pareho pala tayo px17 and angelzero. Ganyang-ganyan din ako. Ayoko naman na papansinin ko sila tapos napaka-superficial naman ng relationship. Like both of you, I'd rather keep a couple of trusted friends, apat lang sila actually; but I really love them and I value our relationship. Saka, oo nga, may moments nga na ayokong makipag-chitchat, so I'd rather be alone. Kayo most of the time, introverts are mistaken as snobs.

[jtansanco]

For the introvert ladies, for example, parang you're out with a guy friend or boyfriend tapos kayong dalawa lang. Do you feel awkward if there are times na may dead silence or normal lang? Yung isa kong kakilalang girl sabi normal lang sa kanya. But for me as a guy, parang I feel awkward e.. Makes me feel like I bore the girl kaya minsan pinipilit ko nalang magconverse and just say random stuff.

[karxn]

^It would depend on our level of closeness. Personally, I'm more at ease with guys and I don't usually feel awkward. Pero kung may moments of silence nga lalo na pag sobrang tagal at halatang pareho kayong nag-iisip ng pag-uusapan, minsan nga awkward and one couldn't help but feel like a bore --normal naman yata ang ganun! Haha!
