Sociopath Community

I would say a good deal of us here are introverted. - yup!

What is your primary reason(s) for being this way?

well it comes from many years of feeling and being treated like an outcast so i subconsciously went inward to create my own happy yet miserable world

Were you always like this? If not, what influenced you to seclusion? i wasn't always like this i was bullied a lot and wanted an escape so i got into art and introversion

Do you plan to stay this way? If not, explain how you plan on changing. i don't mind it i enjoy who i am now even if i was damaged in the process of being someone else.

And finally, what are the biggest pros & cons you face with being introverted? the pros would be relaxation in being alone in my own skin, and cons would be feeling alone when in a crowed, also the anxiety is a big con

See my ADHD vid. There is just less noise when there aren't 20 other people in my space.

I adapt and adjust when I have to, but I'd rather not have to pay attention to so much crap.

Like I said before...if that video is like your head, you might have psychosis lol

• What is your primary reason(s) for being this way? 
• When I get up in the morning, when I get off work, on my days off, I just prefer being alone.  It has always been this way, even though I am married w/ kids.  Every single second of my life being around someone else seems fake.  Or better stated,I act the part unless I am alone.

 

• Were you always like this? If not, what influenced you to seclusion?
• Always

 

• Do you plan to stay this way? If not, explain how you plan on changing.
• Indeed

 

 

 

• And finally, what are the biggest pros & cons you face with being introverted?
• Pros: i hate people in general.  The fake ass "hi, how are you today" goes away when alone....
• Cons: i need some of them for some things

Well said. I feel the same way. :)

Sure wooster.

I'd post the PMs, but the random girl doesn't want to discuss it with the likes of you.

What is your primary reason(s) for being this way?  

Always was. There were times when the desire to be social was there, and I act upon it. Used to have social skills issues when I was small when  I did try to hang with the other kids, they thought I was weird and creepy. Now, I interact decently.

Were you always like this? If not, what influenced you to seclusion? Do you plan to stay this way?

For the most part. People tend to be annoying and there's too many rules when around them. Enjoying freedom. I can be social at will, so yeah, no point in changing.

And finally, what are the biggest pros & cons you face with being introverted?

The pros are too many to number:

- freedom to do as I please

- can be myself

- no having to monitor everything I say and do to not offend

The cons are:

- being isolated too long can play tricks on your mind. At least if you don't find something to stimulate your mind with.

What is your primary reason(s) for being this way?

No idea.

Were you always like this? If not, what influenced you to seclusion?

I was always quiet.

Do you plan to stay this way? If not, explain how you plan on changing.

I have been outgoing and extroverted through various periods in my life. I took a jobs, which I forced myself into, specifically because there is a stigma attached to being introverted. Door to door sales, and club promoting. 

And finally, what are the biggest pros & cons you face with being introverted?

I feel I retain more of myself when I am not losing myself in others. I feel I lose sophistication if I do not engage in some social situations.

If you took part in the harassment of that woman with accusations of her being me...shame on you. I looked (definitely not me), and much to my surprise it is a different person then I thought and she got an apology via pf pm about people accusing her of being me. Enough with the accusing people who are just looking to get help of being me. I'm really tired of having to go and comfort people who are confused as to why they're looking for help and being slammed about being someone they don't even know

I don't make serious alts. I have 2 here that have less than 5 posts each. it just doesn't happen with me and it never will. Leave people alone

"The pros are too many to number:

Technically an extrovert can do those things, but they'd need to craft their entire lifestyle around it. If not find a profession around such freedom or a lifestyle that supports it, they can look purposefully crazy to be ignored by people.
