Hey guys! If you haven't, could you help us share this video on your social media. We want more people to learn about these misconceptions. If you did, let us know so we can thank you!

Sometimes I hide from people I know just to avoid having conversations. Am I the only one that does this?

I'm just happy this comment section isn't filled with hate on introverts, like most.

Introvert squad where u at!

Too many people try to change me into an extrovert. Especially my father.

"What's the first thing you think of when you hear the word introvert?" Me- "Me!!!" 😂😂

Thank you! Finally, someone understands! #10 really hurts me...I've been told many times by even my own family, especially my father, that introversion is wrong and I should "learn to be an extrovert"... I'm the kind of introvert that has a small circle of friends that I like to hang out with occasionally, but for most of my time I'm alone in my room, studying, reading and watching my favorite shows... The worst part about being an introverted student though, is having to work in groups and being told that not raising your hand in class a lot will mean you'll have a lower grade. I work best alone and I really wish that was accepted in our education system...

When I was a kid I was always told I was too quiet and didn't smile enough smh, let people be who they are inside.

I’m an introvert and I would never do public speaking. Today in school someone made a really good animation and I foolishly said quietly that nobody has ever clapped for me and someone heard me. And he screamed, (Name) HAS NEVER BEEN CLAPPED AT BEFORE. Everyone in class clapped for me...

I'm introvert but i'm shy too. Sometimes I feel so depressed because I don't talk too much and people hates that 😢

I am an introvert. I really love this channel because it helps to understand myself a bit better. Thank you guys. 😀

#10 hits home for me. I have several teachers who tries to make me work with others. Sometimes I'll do it, most times it makes me really uncomfortable. They also make me do peer mediation which I don't want to do and they tell me things like "you have to break out of your shell" or "with enough time, you can become sociable." I don't see any problem with mine or others introversion. You can't force a person to become more "socially acceptable." Too bad my teachers are too backwards thinking.

The sad thing is as a salesman i rocked but i was brutally honest “ sign up now so you don’t have 5 more jerks waste your time trying to pitch the same speech. “ I became top salesman that month

I’m not really a big fan of those who pressure me to become an extrovert. I’m looking at you, dad

Yes! I agree with all of these! I don't like when extroverts try to fix you though...it makes me feel hopeless when they can't accept me for who I am though

I'm an introvert and i don't like to go out cause of the noises so i stay at home and wear my headphones to not hear the noises outside my house.

#1 and #2 REALLY hits home bc of school and work. Especially the not talking thing. I LOVE to ramble! I just don't like small conversations and conversations about nothing and like you said gossiping. Which at work they do a lot and it annoys me!

This is so true! I want people to realize that I'm an introvert and not an extrovert. They don't realise how I do things differently

The last one was actually heartbreaking, that's like saying our personalitys are broken

1. I only talk to a handful of people, but it's meaningful. 2. I still deal with shyness, but I think it's getting better. 3. I hardly go out, but I'd like to try new places. 4. It's not that I don't like people. I feel more myself with certain people. 5. Being a leader means taking all problems into thought. Listening should be as important as speaking one's mind. For some reason, I was seen as a bit of a leader. Maybe I can still be one. 6. Not much of a social networker. 7. I've been told I bring a special enthusiasm to certain places. I can enjoy myself and have a fun time. 8. Not much of a public speaker, either, but performing with others I can do no problem. 9. Not looking to sell anything so this doesn't apply. 10. I might be an ambivert after all. Talking, thinking, creativity, these are just a few reasons I came to realize this.

This is so true. Thank you so much for this video. We appreciate it a lot!

The last one hit me hard. I am very lucky with my friends, but society itself does this all the time. Many popular movies, books, songs, and other things are about "fixing" or "helping" someone who is an introvert. Some even portray us as a new and mysterious character in a game to be acquired. More people need to see this content, because it is absolutely true.

I don’t like going out anywhere because I’m always afraid seeing someone I know. I cant even get out the car without looking around like a maniac and thinking “someone I know is ought to be here.” I get very paranoid. And once I’m inside the store there I go again. I tend to go in corners and hide , or go where there isn’t really many people. I always bring my phone so I have a distraction. I usually message one of my friends for help. I explain my social anxiety and tell them to comfort me. It gets me irritated sometimes when they say “just go shop. it’s not that hard.” Yes it is, in fact. Anyways. I just thought I should share my little story. If your like me , know that your not alone. And don’t let people judge you. It’ll be okay.

My friends were always trying to make me change because I was an introvert and due to that we drifted apart only a few liked me for who I was which made me happy

The last myth about 'fixing an introvert' touched me to the core.

I knew it. "Quality is more important than quantity" 2:33

One of my marketing professors told me that I’m too introverted to sell my ideas. On the next day I won a pitch presentation. Don’t listen to people who tell you you can’t do something. & as someone who Studies Leadership: a lot of new leadership theories are based on qualities many introverts have naturally.

I always hate when someone says “why are you so quiet?” Then my friend say’s “in 1st grade he never talked and was so shy”

"im an introvert and [insert relatable comment]"

These myths are totally Biased and Stereotyped However I would indeed be a terrible salesperson

I’m an introvert but I’m ok with small talk. I used to hate it, but then I changed the way I thought. I used to be extremely shy but I learned to open up more in high school. Now, I feel like I maybe an ambivert but lean I towards introvert.

I actually don't like to talk, i only speak when it's necessary

I'm a shy, smart, introverted student that always scolded by my mother for not hanging out with a lot of people

"Introverts don't know how to have fun" *WHO THE HELL*

Myth number 10 truly is the most insulting misconception of them all

my dad use to tell me when i was a kid that something was wrong with me cuz i wasn't like my brother or an average kid, someone who's social and outgoing and likes people, and would even insult me by calling me anti-social and making me feel bad. thats not true and now i know the reasons why. I'm just an introvert! thanks for your video. helps me out a lot to know that nothing is wrong with me.

I am an Introvert and I hate to talk in public! 😲

First? Maybe. Anyways, I agree with this, people have their ways of thoughts when it comes to Introverts. People judge introverts without really knowing what it is. I hope people can begin to understand that Introverts are as good as Extroverts.

Just because I don't like telling the whole world how I'm feeling today doesn't mean I'm broken. It makes me sad to think the world see's me as someone that needs to be fixed.

I had somebody flat out say once that I was a bad friend because I never hung out. Every time he asked me to hang out with him or others, I'd ask what the plan was, but there was no plan. The idea was just to hang out and see what happens, and I could never make him understand how incredibly difficult it is for me to do something with no plan. It became another friendship I had to walk away from because I got tired of being made to feel defective because I'm not what others think I should be. One of many.

I’m a introvert and I agree with this video

is it okay for introverts active on social media? we don't talk too much in real life but we do on social media

The last point made my heart heavy because for a long time I've been told I'm selfish for not being social and I have problems not being outside more often. I wasn't sad, but happy because it is good to hear that I'm not alone with being an intorvert. I do go outside and I do enjoy company, but like how the video explained, I like it in small doses and with people that I truly enjoy their company with. Its really nice to have a video like this explain what an introvert's life is like because for awhile I had a hard time explaining it to people.

As an introvert, I like public speaking(presentation), I like getting to show my work, seeing my effort appreciated. It’s something I look forward to but still get really anxious about.

A little while ago I saw something about a stand-up comedian who's an introvert. She even acknowledged that you'd think being a comedian would be the last things she'd be, but she liked having a very small audience to open up to. I don't remember her name or anything it was just something that was on TV as I was passing by, I rarely watch TV myself.

All of these are so true my dad doesn't understand that I can only handle so much activities with people and is always trying to force out of the house to "hang out" and "make some new friends" as a social introvert that really hurts like really really hurts. He also tries to small talk me or get me to open up but he doesn't understand that I don't openly express my self.

THANK YOU FOR THIS, I LOVE THESE VIDEOS CUZ I CAN FINALLY RELATE

Oh my god, this is so true, I am an introvert and all of this is pretty accurate. Edit: 10 really angers me!

I didn't even know that the. Last myth was even said like how can an introvert become and extrovert wow Im shooketh

the uncomfortable thing is when you and family gathering then you realise that you are the only introvert there and they press you to be like them. It's happened to me and thats make me feel sad.. no one understand.

That last one almost made me cry. I'm very much an introvert, and everyone keeps telling at me to be more social. Whenever I'm forced into a social environment, I feel incredibly uncomfortable and anxious. On the off chance I want to go to a party or gathering, I will. Force me into it to "break me out of my shell" as some put it, and I will say that I'm introverted, not shy. I just wish people would understand and accept me for who I am. I like being an introvert. I have some really good introverted friends, and we share the struggle. Thanks for this video, this needs to be common knowledge.

I am an introvert and man, it's hard because i'm also incredibly shy and have social anxiety disorder. I go and observe people so that, if they were to ever approach me, i'd know if a stupid conversation is inbound (so that I can avoid it). That public speaking myth is just *wow* because i'd probably be good at that and/or being a leader if I wasn't so shy. It's also sad to know people think that you can just *fix* introversion. I have been a sufferer of that from some teachers in the past or from my counselor, who herself told me, "You have to break out of your shell and be more communicable", and if I remember she wanted me to make friends and try to talk to one of my crushes after that. All your other videos on introverts have taught me much more about myself. Thanks!

I am an introvert and i really like to talk, my only problem is that i repeat 3 times what im goint to say and overthink it over and over again just i case but at the end i never get out a word 😅

finally someone gets it

The shy myth is the one that really grinds my gears. Too often you hear people inaccurately using the term “introverted” as a synonym for shy. Or conversely “extroverted” for outgoing.

So true! I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for almost 2 years and yesterday when I was sharing with him that I am an introvert and an HSP, he immediately replied,"you aren't an introvert since you talk a lot" I seriously felt in that moment that we came AGES back in our relationship!

As an introvert, I really appreciated this video. Thank you.

Really enjoy this channel, i can relate to so many things, it’s very calming :)

Glad to know that I’m not the only one with parents who try to change me to become an extrovert.

I’m just sick of being insulted because I’m an introvert. People don’t ask questions they always judge me.

"Introverts don't hate the human race." Some do, such as myself.

I love these introvert videos you do on your channel. They make me feel better about myself. 😊❤️

I'm an introvert and the last one resonates with my current situation where my brother thinks I can become Extroverted. It hurts every time he tries, but he's only making things more worse than they already are.

As an introvert myself I can certainly agree we aren’t all shy, I also agree about the no time for gossip thing too I never understood what’s so great about gossip

I'm an introvert, but I feel free when I'm speaking in public expressing my point of view.

I love this channel. Hits the nail on the head for so many things, also helps me look at things from a different point of view. This is probably the only channel that I like to get notified of new videos from, because I watch almost all the videos.

This is so true! When people think about inviting me over they think that I don't know what fun is so they think that I'll just be a mood kill so they don't invite me. Also when I was younger I could decently give a speech, a year ago it was very very hard and now I'm kind of good at it, I get terrified but I can slightly push myself to do it. I've also been told that I should be more outgoing and not so quiet all the time(basically be a extrovert) but that is not my favourite thing whatsoever. I always hate when people try to force me to become something else because they think that I'm 'broken' when I'm not, I wish people, well people I know, would treat introverts better than what they currently do. Because thanks to those people I don't really like to leave my room nor my house, only to go to my boyfriends house because he doesn't judge the way I am and he accepts me and it makes me feel excepted and that's the main place I go.

Yes, getting over the public speaking was really hard. Once I learned how to do it, it was a new skill. Never mind the way I went home and melted-down afterward.

My whole life I used to lie to myself that I’m an extrovert just because I like company. It’s honestly kind of ridiculous now that I look back and realize that I was very introverted despite trying desperately to not be.

I'm an introvert too and sometimes it makes me so depressed.

The last one really hit me. People should realize it soon that introverts are not something that need to be fixed.

#10 hits pretty close to home. In a family of 7, I'm the only introverted person of the bunch, and they all try to "fix me" by pushing a bunch of activities I don't want to do onto me.

People: Hey don't be shy Me: I'm not shy I'm an introvert

Keep up the great work. I love these introvert videos as they let people understand me! Thank you so much! :)

The thing that most annoys me is when people ask me "why are you so quiet?" Like I want to tell them that I dont wanna engage in their small pointless talks and exaggerating dramas/stories and dont bother me please, but being the introvert I am, I'll just answer "nothing".

I totally agree and i am an introvert. I really had a tough time trying to cope with people trying to fix me a few years back like the last myth. Nowadays i don't get too bothered with people who are bothered by me being an introvert.

Great video this was really well made! I couldn’t believe some facts and how people think about introverts. If they only knew..

all your videos are very informative yeet i love it

So happy to know theres people who appreciate the way we are

Thanks for making these videos! Since you started I don't feel so alone anymore!

My family members are like: "you need to become more social, this is not natural for your age (14)". And if you ask me if I have told them I'm an introvert and what an introvert means them yes, I have. BUT THEY DON'T WANT TO FREAKING UNDERSTAND. Sometimes my mother gets sad because I am doing what I like... Adults nowadays think they have the knowledge to tell if this is good for me or not, they don't know shit(srry for bad language :v). They just don't want to accept that I know some stuff beter than them because I am a kid and I "don't have the experience they have". I don't give a shit how much experience you have, what matters is what you have learned from that, no matter how much you have had of it.

,,Introverts don't hate the human race" Hold my beer. I'm going to now.

2 years of practicing to be an extrovert and it still hasn’t worked lol. I pushed myself out of my comfort zone MANY times and even though I can confirm that I’m still an introvert, I must say that I got better at small talk and holding a conversation.

Number 10 was exactly what I needed to hear💙 it made my heart melt.☺ Living as an introvert in an extroverted family, and school enviroment is definitely overwhelming. Especially when people try changing me or telling me the way I am isnt what makes successful character. Number 10 was unexpected, but lovely nevertheless. Left me in tears💜💙

This video is 10/10!!

i like animals more than most ppl

I don't necessarily have to be "at home" to recharge, either. I just need to be alone. That can be in my car, in a quiet place like a library, or even taking a trip or vacation by myself. There's a big difference between people who don't like to leave their houses and being an introvert.

#10 is so true. The teachers of my little sister says that everytime, is sad watching her cry when he comes to school

I am your typical introvert, I hate talking, hate people, hate going out, hate public speaking, hate networking, hate leading people, can’t have fun, hate being introverted.

Yesssss!! I relate to all!

I strongly agree to all your videos about introverts. And there I thought I was different to all my friends... but no I'm just an introvert.

I actually think of being introverted as an advantage because you don't rely on socializing a lot with others, just because you don't need it as much as extroverts do. But you still can socialize just like them if you really wanted to.

I took a personality test and I'm 99% an introvert.

#10 makes me mad. I can't just change my entire psychology just because someone wants me to, I can pretend and act like I am an extrovert, but I will ALWAYS be an introvert. It's especially damaging to my fellow Anxious Introverts. It's very difficult to act extroverted when you are the kind of person who will agonize over every mistake you made in the last thirty conversations for the next week. #10 is wrong, yes, but something similar is possible. With practice and work and an open mind, I was able to change my demeanor and social habits enough to seem extroverted in certain situations (I work essentially as a receptionist. I have to deal with hundreds of people a day, but even Anxious Introverts can become proficient at this. Practice makes perfect. It took a long while, but I have formed habitual phrases and responses that allow me to seem very welcoming and friendly, as well as confident and knowledgeable all while hardly engaging my mind, so the drain is very low. Essentially I've automated the process of talking to people in that specific situation. I still agonize over it when I make social mistakes, but for 95% of my conversations I act like an NPC from a video game, I use the same dialogue by habit, and can help people without any real thought going into the conversation itself, and with very few mistakes. The other 5% is still somewhat draining when the conversation reaches a point when someone needs to know something unusual or needs very specific directions or something that will make me really engage with the conversation, but in these cases I enjoy it, as I am engaged and I'm not drained from the 19 conversations prior.

I actually didn't know before that I am introvert and I tried forcing myself "having fun" by hanging out with ohters. Thank you for educationing me for this! Now your videos for introverts are my favorite. 🤗

I was an extrovert when I was a kid. Somehow I became an introvert as I grow up and I am very proud to say that I am introverted. Please leave me alone and don’t talk to me

One of the reasons i don't talk with others---- i dont want to bother anyone. Anyway that is not a main reason for sure, but who else with me?

This makes me happy 🖤

Oh man, this is really true, especially #10. SO many people force me to socialize more! It's so accurate that it hurts!

I get so many people trying to change me when I just wanna stay home. It can get very annoying
