Introvert or Extrovert - Not Having to Talk to Introverts, Problems, Europeans in US

Introvert or Extrovert - Not Having to Talk to Introverts, Problems, Europeans in US

The article seemed funny to me at first since it is already putting people in the box of introvert or extrovert. Most try to be extrovert and are bothering. People are just people. That may be part of her problem. She is hiding behind being an introvert that one and then expecting someone to talk to her. It's not going to happen at least with me and most people. I'm not going to try and find out about her. I don't have to. Most know by just looking at them too. I'm probably not what she wants to talk to anyway. And I don't have to exert myself especially after work. If I do have other people to talk to and then someone else is not talking to me I probably won't notice them. I resent people trying to act as they know me when they haven't even had the nerve to say anything either.

I thought I should write my own since I wrote on that other girl's about being an Introvert. I thought she was after them at first of how terrible they are. My comment got a little messed up and off topic. Also in case she erases it if she can I have to look on mine since I am writing this.

I don't think I owe it to introverts to have to ask them questions and all if they can't talk themselves or talk to me. I know that is the rules book that some people do whereby you wait for others to talk. I just think that's coy. I use it sometimes and sometimes not. Most of the time conversations just start naturally. If you're not open to conversation I think you're just not. I don't have to be the social bee. I am also tired of those girls coming over and trying to get me to do things like in extra work of fixing their bracelet when they don't even know me and no social skills. I'm not their mommy or servant. And then they start something also. There was also wardrobe or catering being paid to do that.

Sometimes I can be taken for an introvert or an extrovert. I also sometimes in school would find it difficult but I was bored a lot and a terrible school. I found others hated the town also. But I always had friends. I was almost never by myself or so I could think straight. If I was by myself I would feel guilty and pushed to make friends by my mother so I resent it in a way. I really would have liked to sit by myself sometimes as I saw some others doing. It was impossible in the cafeteria alas to do so.

At first I thought you were writing hating introverts then I see it is the other side.

Others can take me for or know me for being extrovert which is really the case and only an open mouth more or less away. I have been pressured to talk to others and the girls especially. I don't know why I should have to talk to them. Why don't they talk to them themselves? Or some guy would like me always bothering and making noise. These people disturb my time all the time and I think they are really shy like that guy bothering behind my back all the time was. And I really hate them they bother me and act as if it's ok and I will love talking to them when I find out. That is not the case I hate them and resent them disturbing me. They can make friends themselves. Also I still have all these kids bothering me and I'm not their mommy.

They drain my energy and are mostly depressed. It's also not my fault they don't have a date or so or are unable to communicate. I don't think it's my fault to have to draw these people out. They can just sit there. especially some already have their own friends and why should I exert myself and waste my time. It is a lot of social pressure and these people are not ones that anyone else wants to talk to. The Eurotrash especially others don't talk to etc. but they would bother me about them. I know that's not especially what you're saying. But if you see someone not talking to you it's not really my problem to talk to you as some others have said seeing me talk. Why don't they talk to them too? Half the time they are just people talking to me that are pests not socially important. Not that I am a snob but you see I'm not and then people talk to me.

Oh this goes on I'm sorry but I want to explain it like in extra work we needed a partner and a guy would especially pick me. Then another girl came over and sat there. Get your own partner. We were supposed to be picking people. I have been lucky before and got partners while others were sitting there. Yes, but then sometimes I am also stuck with them and they leave the others alone. I would usually wait. They just sit there those girls though and won't even try and get their own partners.

Also at the store L&T I was stuck walking around (or she had me on stock really all working but they weren't) I said to them why? The other said oh we put the shy people at the cash register. that's where people go is to the cash register to check out. It wasn't fair I couldn't chase around after sales in there. They weren't doing anything and I eventually had to quit.

Shy people can annoy me as they hide and are afraid of things. I don't owe them something I don't think. You find also that many people like that just don't want to talk. And I have asked a girl along like that sometimes that doesn't go anywhere like they say and they complain all the time. It's not good and I haven't done that again. The popular girls are sometimes the nicest.

I was lucky to have some good friends before and the Pres. of the Senior Class. then I had another friend when I changed schools and always someone. That is why when I don't have someone I don't really mind.

Someone else wanted me to call her all the time about work. I liked her but it's just too invasive and bothering me.

I have also found that on talking to a geek or someone people wouldn't talk to is they can be rude. I found that out before and at extra work as they can be nasty. Then afterwards on extra work when other people came over and he tried to talk to them they more or less told him to shut up it is sad. I do sometimes do that and talk to people I feel sorry for. He had been trying to act as if he had a girlfriend and had asked a dork girl out and been refused. He tried to act as if all the nondescript girls there looked good. I told him before people told me I looked like Doris Day etc. and he went oh alright. They have this ridiculous perception they are just the ones when someone else will be telling you you are beautiful. I don't bother with them. It was his perception. He couldn't communicate to some people since he wasn't listening or getting social cues. I think he thought I liked him or something at first because I said something that is an annoying thing about those people. I should have just told him off. He had just wanted to try and make himself look important. And he wasn't a writer, I know what those people do it's their delusions. I've seen their work being sent back, I sent it back. It might as something horrid. The whole thing I should have just let him sit there but he started it actually to bother on purpose probably. See that's what they want is to make themselves look important.

There was a fat AD on the set that was bothering me too. They are the ones. They are always a bunch of geeks. At least I'm not on it now. They say the directors are geeks too and that's about it. Everything is mainly turned around there and as if those girls are special when it's highly illusional. They give them what they want. I was really tired of it.

Now they are bothering and repeating chauvinist the geeks. I keep telling them that is old fashioned and they are not any help and they keep repeating it bothering with blacks so the excuse is I am prejudiced and need to talk to them. I don't want to and I need my own time after work. They are people from Ohio/Mich who won't mind their own business. They also don't bother them. I do not have to make friends with them after work. Whoever is bothering is not going to be talked to and those repeating chauvinist. they told me he was black before but I've seen others. They've been bothering for years and as if I'm supposed to be more social. I dont' want to talk to those people from work and make friends around and I'm not going to just for them.

And sometimes if I'm talking to someone they'll come over and try to talk to. (Oh but I'm not supposed to interrupt.) I've been stopping and leaving and then the person goes back to their book. I'm sick of them bothering me. So this is a whole thing that I'm supposed to talk to them and I'm not going to. I hate cowardly guys people too hiding and talking behind my back.

I had been reading Joan before. The French thought it was funny and were saying bonjour I had been practicing in the French office. (in NY don't start I'm not in France don't tell me to go home I'm in US and partly Mohawk/Yankee/German.
The French are never being talked to for going behind my back with those dork/slut girls that weren't friends of mine and midnight/2 in the morning. You think the French would stop on that and yes they were in disagreement the kids unfortunately I saw them.

Also before it had been a kid excuse and not their babysitter. The bad part about this too is that it follows me to another city since they think they are so funny. And their excuse is all the time and I don't even know them that I am the typist, that I should audition or do something. It is nice that they liked the scene before or seemed to. That is why they got away with it for so long and because I saw the woman with her kid the French woman. She held him up and went, "Look she's going to save you." No one in the office knows them though and they were angry. It is all a mixup. Sorry and please don't say you can't understand this or something I am just writing this. I had wanted to audition I did try and I'm sorry didn't do it but that wasn't one of the auditions. Also they were no help. I could put on my own play like they were doing with not much money. I could do it now if I could work it out and might later but it is too late for that now. They still seem to be bothering but they've mostly stopped it. It was for the French Gov. so it seemed funny but I'd also worked for the St Francis in SF. and I'm in US so it's not France.

And I've had some girl at my door as much as telling me she didn't want to talk to me with me trying to be polite that isn't happening again. So I think that I can talk to who I want. And if I haven't talked to them it is not usually shyness it is because I don't feel like it. In the case of guys I do not ever approach them myself except just to say something which could be misconstrued. So if I have not said something probably not that interested. Oh the games. It might be the case of waiting but that is probably not the case. I do not approach guys though or didn't after being a kid. I do go by the rules book in that sense. On extra work or something where we are working together it is different.

I have - I hate to add to this it's going all over and annoying some - but by a nice lady been warned not to talk to the geek guys or take a ride with that old guy. She was right. Some people say talk to them see and some not.

I don't like to be rude to people is the thing and it can get taken advantage of.

The girls in the Salvation army were going around interviewing like and I'd talk to them. One even said for just that day. They had very low social skills and a lot wouldn't talk to them. I didn't want to be rude. O'brien said not to eat down there that I couldn't. he said others didn't. People also complained about people in St. Francis cafeteria and the gossip. The other worker at the Salvation said she didn't give her name out which sounds impossible. The people around kept using an old name of mine as if they knew me and didn't which I didn't use anymore didn't like it. I thought it was very rude. I should have told him that too the French guy when I saw him. Because I have seen them.

The English girl asked an obnoxious fat girl in there to take me to a movie there. Why? I thought from that fat girl bothering me like that. A lot of girls in there didn't go anywhere and they wouldn't leave me alone. Then if I said anything to O'Brien or he asked me out they would freak out all over. They would also not shut up if I went out with anyone else.

I think this got lost before. It's hard to edit this on the Internet. I was just going to put on that outside of that one English girl fat (it was unfortunately more I heard them) but more or less with her bothering they weren't really bothering me from Maxs Kansas City. I am partly English after all which I think they realized. I can see how it could seem funny but not that funny. The waiter thought it was funny when I went in there with others.

I also saw the guy pretending to be Tony the guitar player. The dorks were following him around or something and wouldn't shut up. People just won't leave me alone or anything and keep trying to find out who I am dating. Then they would probably try to take my husband or date. It is like the girl in Memoirs of a Geisha that doesn't like her. But they are not good looking.

I know one girl in Conn. didn't like me. My mother made me go see her. No one liked her she was a slut. No one was going there because her sister had illegitimate kid but my stupid mother wanted to. Maybe she thought I was introverted. I really didn't care. I was kind of weird. I didn't really talk to the other kids but I already had my girlfriend you see who told me about that. I think she was really trying to make trouble but not really. See I had her then always someone.

There was another girl that complained to my mother I wouldn't talk to her. I just had nothing to do she wasn't saying anything and expecting me to do something. I was used to playing by myself and my stupid brother was there. Usually I was pretty good with the kids really. Later she banded together with another unpopular really quiet girl. They were in the kind of dull class. She never talked to me after. I don't know what she was expecting. I really hadn't done anything except been distracted by my brother there. He and I really didn't get along. My other girlfriend was down the street I could have seen then but she was funny too.

I also had a bunch of kids with me on playground monitor. J had the twin girls. I thought oh but then look I had all those kids and a nice little girl.

But most people don't want to talk to the office people after work as my other English friend said who had been on the stage in London (not the other one who didn't know me at all.)

and to Pearl there in MS - actually the girl being rude to them and moving was from the south.
I am in Mensa and sometimes it is hard to talk to some people I don't realize they can't understand things so this isn't simple enough or space out. You can also read something else. I was in the smart class. It's also hard to be taken for stupid by people because I have blonde hair and no college. Most people get the idea and know I am smart.

I don't think I have to talk to people if I don't want to. And as for finding out how smart they are I don't think that is hidden too much. People like that can usually talk. I am pretty easy to talk to. There is not something hidden in those people like in the Salvation Army. That may be true in some slight cases. People can see what it is. I am not the only one who doesn't want to talk to them. Mensa people even for instance can be conceited and I don't have to waste my time on them. They had a hooker going to it in LA and I'm not talking to her.

I'm mainly saying that I don't have to exert myself to talk to those people as they seem to be expecting. They are waiting for me to talk to them and it won't be happening. Most smart people and that are doing things are really quite the conversationalists.

Maybe they should the introverts work on their social skills instead of expecting me to talk to them or other people do. I have enough friends already. They've been rude on that idea when I didn't know anyone. They even say things without being asked. I don't think I have to talk to them after work.

If others aren't talking to them they are probably not interested and they should think about that. We are looking at who to talk to too. If I'm not talking to them I don't want to. There is nothing hidden we see what it is. It is not going to be happening.

I do agree thought that some aren't being given a chance. O'Brien was lumping all the Salvation Army girls together and saying no one wanted them which really isn't true. Some people have standards and they should do that. They don't have to all go out and get dates and be wild. A lot of the other girls were sluts. There were nice girls there. Unfortunately, it doesn't always mean you have something in common. I am tired of dragging them around if they don't have a date. I'm not really going to bother with them. It's not my problem to introduce them to people either.

I do think also that they should talk to someone their own age instead of bothering me and as they are always talking about how old they are too. And I am not that young.

It is a frustration with people bothering me now. They keep expecting me to talk to people and I don't have to. There are a lot of people there I don't like and have nothing in common with and I've heard of others complaining about and I'm not talking to them.

This is also not getting me any money at all but just started. The other is doing some on E-How. I may have to stop this one.

Picture won't add on here either. I thought I should show a picture to be honest and to show not hiding. Won't ocme up or tried on profile will be up maybe. I will probably change it though. I don't think I really need to have it up all the time to be discreet. It looks as if trying to meet people too which it isn't really like Match.com or something. I have someone.

Those girls aren't allowed around. They're not my friends. I'm sick of them bothering behind my back. They've been bothering for years trying to get things off me and they will never be talked to the dorks and sluts. I told the other ones off already. I'm talking of american ones but others aren't allowed over either. I think it's rude in the first place to go over behind someone's back and they know it's right there so I can hear it. They are just so conceited. Those first girls would be older now. Now more of them younger. They have no brains. They were talking to them on purpose. I've heard about them bothering behind my back at different offices and saying typist too and then the person wouldn't say who it was. On confronting the manager she denied it. Yes and it does sound crazy to some so that doesn't help either. Believe me they're not going to get talked to socially inept people. I don't know how somebody could be stupid enough to say something at midnight or 2 am and think they would be talked to anyway. They just want to make trouble.

And I think I put in this before someone was pretending to be Tony the guitar player too and they wouldn't shut up from people outside. Ignore it? Yes, that's what did it and then they get worse and worse taking advantage of me. If I didn't go out I wouldn't have known what it was either. They were waking me up and ruining my sleep and others in the neighborhood and they still are. They're stupid people trying to get attention and a lot of them are dork girls.

One of the black guys seems to have been taking them out to the movies and bothering with dull girls all the time. They told me it was a black woman told me and others did. He made all this noise and they thought they were going out to a movie in NY. They had several things they were bothering with and then they were had the Paul Newman movie, Jaws. I am not that much a fun type person and it wasn't funny. There were also some bothering my father that didn't like him. I didn't like him either. They used to try and talk to the black elevator operator in the Salvation Army. They tried to get him to say something bad about me.

They mostly wanted an audition. The other girls would take it the wrong way and that's why I had to get rid of the French. One of their mothers came up to me so they know she was complaining. They act as if I knew about it. How could I know? I would lean outside in NY to see them and could have fallen out the window. Some wanted me to see them I guess and would call it seeing it but could be taken the wrong way. But a lot of the girls were taking it the wrong way and bothering and I was the one that had done the scene and been in the French office. I was sick of them getting things off me. So the idea was if they wanted to go talk to them to go talk to them. This made them mad also the French. (I am in US all this time and am now.)So I was not there and it was disturbing my work. I also couldn't work on another scene if they didn't like that easily.

One of them had yelled in Chicago that the typist was crazy and it was a little boy. I saw him, they bothered me all the time with those girls. The girls sometimes, Americans, had been bothering them the French and liked them really, but after awhile I thought they could have done something to have stopped that.

Repeating things makes me angry and brainwashed people repeating things. They would repeat seeing it and the bonjour so after awhile I did have to put my foot down. O'Brien, the mgr of Maxs KC, where some were going then told me what did I think it meant? That it meant exposing themselves. That puts another light on it. I thought O'Brien was wrong but maybe not. Most people bothering on things like this are or were really introverts with nothing to do or shall we say problems. If they had something else to do the girls wouldn't have been outside all that time on roller skates. Others had complained about the noise too, but not much.

It's all over the French stopped it and others and it wasn't Tony but a fake, but they won't realize it or won't with delusions. They just have another one starting things. There were kids out there again the kid excuse. I've heard a French woman tell me as if I wasn't supposed to go out with guys. What was I supposed to do sit there and listen to that?

Maybe that girl who made the post of being an introvert and how people should talk to her to find out how interesting she was should write she can type and write people notes there and give it to them. vicious - meaning me as I told her now. oh brother.

People always hate if I bring this up. But they bother and bother and keep repeating things the others. If Tony was there they would all try and talk to him but they hate hearing about him and Talon. I would never hear the end of it if they saw them. I saw girls before all falling over a stupid roadie of Rod Stuart's.

I did know this girl and all this time I could have had her number from SF that I got her address later that had met the band the whole time since she was almost a groupie and her brother had a record store. She had passes or something she was up to always going backstage. I had been working at WB temp during that time which maybe they meant too but not I know. They are terrible in there.

Everyone had complained about the noise at Maxs Kansas City in NY then and gotten it closed down. I wouldn't have tried to get it closed down but not a bad idea. It was the Eurotrash and English. An English woman had told me she never saw anything like them. She was half Eng/French.

My family is I am half Yankee - English, Scotch-Irish and Penn Dutch the Mohawk and then German. So I did not mind the English. I had an English girlfriend before. They were out there screaming and really it had gotten nasty. I found out about it and what they were saying from the one pretending to be Tony. I didn't like that girl trying to make me talk to people I don't know what was the matter with her. She should have gotten a date herself. I could tell she had nothing to do. There's more I won't put anymore down it's too much for them.

Like in LA too I am supposed to sit with everyone but the trashy girls don't want me sitting there as a block since they won't look popular then. They've said things. A black girl tried to say her date was coming. I told her one wasn't and I was right. They try to make themselves look good. Those are the sluts there others are very nice (have cars). I was so glad to get back to NY where others get the subway and girls would sit near me. I didn't want to move away knowing how it could look like when too close. I was also so tired of the too little girls (some of the starving Eurotrash variety not that they are all too skinny) but the just got off the boat idea in California and their attitude. It was nice to get back to New York and normal sized people and some who looked different and with character. I loved this big viking looking girl. I just stared at her. She had curly hair too.

It was nice to get back to seeing actual fashion in New York too. It does seem to have changed. I am not sure if it is my imagination and it has. They say a lot of work has gone out of the city since 9/ll. I found it difficult to find work and hardly anything advertised. People are working there. I have been offered work there before after all.

I had been working at the survey place and then NYPIRG with only commission. I felt as if I was helping.

If anything you learn on the subway in NY to keep people and guys away from you. My friend had told me to do that. The English some of them are too silly to understand what is going on in NY. They are graciously called the Eurotrash all of them by my friends in SF and elsewhere. They do deserve the name some of them.

Usually in the US outside of my friend the English girl or meaning someone you know there is a subtle agreement to ignore the Europeans depending on the circumstances and visa versa mainly. It depends. They had decided it seems girls in the residence American that I should talk to the French girls there. I knew they were kind of stuck up and like to keep to themselves and I just left them there. I wasn't going to go sit there. Many others didn't. I never saw anyone else there. I'd talked to French people before at residences. Sometimes they're very friendly were going to teach me French. A guy there was being funny to me.I wasn't up for grabs for him and they were talking. I think the girl there I'd thought of it thought the fuss was for her. I thought it might have been. I didn't know at first. I'd seen the other French girls on the bus going bonjour to me.

The Germans can be very nasty to me. There is not much common ground there with me being half German. After that incident too at the hostel with me going to lunch with her. Actually I should have stopped then she wanted to be left alone after asking for a place to go. But I would never do that again she was very snotty. I would sometimes like to leave my German grandmother to take care of them or my other grandmother Yankee and Mohawk. I had told her about my girlfriend I was going to see who knew the bands and she said she had the cable MTV. Oh come on how stupid.

They were all being rude the Europeans at that hostel in SF. So then I was in no mood for my friend fooling since I had just money to stay there. The movie Hostel seems really funny to me and then I had the horrible Bosnian girls working in Chase. They couldn't even speak or understand English right and working there. At least there is a common language with the English. They are usually very polite to me. They've asked me places before.

It should be mentioned I really like the English and Scottish, French etc. Some of them go crazy here in US trying to be social and I think not understanding the social status. One of the girls I know was trying to get married. I knew the French didn't really want to talk to a lot of those girls.

I was the one doing the scene and at the office so if they didn't like it they could go home not come around behind my back. Then I found out they didn't even know anyone in the office. They were quite taken aback when I went in the French office. They told me I should take care of it myself and as if my feelings were hurt. I wanted my time and peace of mind back and privacy.

I told them to stop bothering me. That could have been real trouble for me. Eventually it did ruin my job at that agency. That is the agency Kelly that continually checks on people. I'd been working there for years. If you have a couple of bad references you're out. So it finally happened. Most people don't last that long. It's not really good. She told me I had more jobs than anyone. The other companies don't like you working temp. So they'd more or less ruined my job some of it on purpose. I'd had the a guy tell me how Kelly wasn't using their daughter. Use her themselves then. Someone could purposely give you a bad reference. The agencies are terrible here in Phoenix with nothing as you can imagine.

I felt as if they were all trying to get things off me and I had to stop it. And it was all behind my back I hate cowards. One guy in school bothered me a whole year behind my back before asking me out. I didn't go to the prom with him then. I can't stand that. He had said things too. I did go to a movie I wanted to see with him since no car then. I don't like guys going and talking behind my back. What kind of relationship would that be? That's how they get the lousy marriages. I wasn't going to go with the first guy that asked me like them.

Introvert

I didn't call you vicious I meant me. The end of it. I'm sarcastic. It reminds me of things though and will go further but it's not just about you either. I don't even know you but the silly pic which tells me something. I'm American yes I thought this was US site it always has our politics on it. maybe not. And that wasn't directed at you at all it's on mine unless coming on yours by mistake because I started it there. You picture looks very angry though. See I don't know why you are it's not me. I wasn't there. A lot of times people see things and oh why aren't they talking to me. You have to do things for yourself is what I was saying. People don't have to find out about you. That's what I've been getting from them before.

Hmmm, I'm not the only

Hmmm, I'm not the only introvert out there, lassie; I wrote the article for everybody, intros and extros alike simply so they could maybe understand each other a lil bit better. I was not all about me, or you. I don't know if English is your first language or if you live in a mental asylum but damn, I object to being called vicious because I posted an article on Xomba.

Sorry I put this comment up here now I can't edit it out

Sorry I put it up on other post. It's coming out on my post now this comment. I will just leave it at I can't edit it out now.

On not being an introvert.....

It's kind of hard to follow your post...it seems like your emotions have exploded on the computer screen and I'm not sure whether you are angry or young...but a bit of advice...don't let others control your emotions. If you don't want to do something, then just don't do it. You would be surprised at how many introverts are extremely intellectual people. You don't know what anyone has experienced in their lifetime, but often, the ones that don't broadcast themselves to the world are the ones you can learn the most from. Before stereotyping people, you might try to get to know them. Life is about learning, growing, giving, and living to the fullest. Sometimes it is the people you least expect that can change your life. Maybe they just need a friend...someone to care. Or maybe, they just want to be a friend to you. Be nice...I promise it won't kill you.
