It is so exhausting sometimes. I also tend to avoid these chit-chats, but I feel uncomfortable, wondering if I'm being rude or isolating myself. At times, I even feel a sense of anger, like, why am I the one who always has to try to fit in while they don't? 😂😂
This isn't introversion, this is bad social skills. ☝️🤓 I have bad social skills, probably because I didn't socialize as much as a kid, and due to some other reasons.
An introvert is someone who gets mentally drained from social interaction, and they prefer to spend time alone. This doesn't mean they're awkward. My cousin is a perfect example of this.
Complete misunderstanding of introvert and extrovert, this is closer to an autistic person who didn’t bother learning to socializing that got hit hard by life and is trying to fit in. How do I know? It’s because it’s me.
As someone slowly stepping out of this guys stage of being an introvert, I do have a bit of advice:
Make sure to try fit in to the conversation some way or the other that you're "trying to step out of your comfort zone" and maybe explain a bit more about your situation, it will definitely ease the atmosphere for you and for them as all your mistakes and wrong word choices will be easily forgiven and forgotten.
And if they're the type of person that would make you feel uncomfortable around them due to this, I would probably avoid speaking to them for a while until you get better at this whole communication thing.
I kinda miss French pressing coffee. I've got a pour-over, least maintenance out of all coffee-makers. There's just a certain pretentious energy to a French press that i miss.
Why there's that much difference between talking online and in real life….. I mean, it's the same fucking brain, why it just refuses to do the same fucking thing and communicate normally….
That was so perfect. The fact that you included mentioning things that bring nothing to the story just for sake of the conversation, it was spot on. The discomfort and shame I felt while watching basically myself was immense, I love it!
In office work is hell for introverts. Unrestricted access to engage you in conversation at all times. Mandatory social interactions all day. Ugh but in office is hell for everyone I imagine unless you've already made it and can treat the office like a country club.
As an introvert, the easiest thing to do in these situations is just talk about work, ask them about what project they're working on, how they're getting on with their team, biggest current frustration, etc. Then actively listen and ask insightful questions. You might build a connection or learn something. Quiet is fine too and not at all awkward, often preferred.
Dude needs to practice his deep breathing for moments like this. Four seconds in, hold for 2 and 6 seconds out. The brain loves it and relaxes and then he can either sit there quietly and not give a shit or just talk like a normal person. 😊
I've never related to a character this much ever
Been there, done that – this was way too painful to watch
wow this is scarily relatable

The least slappable jerk of them all.
Guy you’re talking to: “great talk dude!”
Introvert Brain: “it’s over.”
Extrovert mouth: “yeah let’s keep going.”
as an introvert i say you hit every nail right on the head and it hurts so terribly, i love the accuracy 😭
"I think I like the Dolphins" is me energy. Like what sport are we even watching I've been daydreaming the whole game
This is why I’m pretty much silent at work unless asked something
These people are way better than the fine tuned tryna-be-cool people, always refreshing
I feel like both the voiceover and the brewer at any given moment.
"Nice weather"
"Thanks"

WHY AM I DYING OF EMBARRASSMENT AND FACEPALMING WHEN I'M NOT EVEN IN THIS
Forcing it is even worse just leave it man😭
‘Great there’s nobody by the coffee machine, this is my moment. Oh. Shit here comes a person’
That’s not introversion, it’s insecurity and a dull personality.
He is not just an introvert, he is socially awkward. They are not the same. You can be an introvert and have great social skills at the same time.
I thought I was transparent. Ah shit
Kansas City, how did I know? 🙂
It's NOT about "Introverts" and "Extroverts".
It's about having little interest in the utter drivel spewed by fools. 😂
93/93
stop calling me out like this
I can’t tell which one is the introvert
Im like this but worse, so usually ill just say nothing or as little as possible and stand there awkwardly 😂
So confirmed, Santas #1 helper is a squirrel.
Welp i'm afraid i sound like this
This is why I miss remote work

The grimace mixed with the strained nervous gulp are so relatable
I started the video thinking "lol ive worked with people like that!" And then it turned into "oh fuck i am that"

Oh no, is this what I look like
LITERALLY ME
is my entire, 100% brainpower attempt to act normal reducible to an impression? haha. the inability to regulate volume or SPEAK
I hate how accurate it is
I hate when people watch me doing something
Like, go away for 5 minutes. Its not that hard
This was a painful watch… Like, you were effective at conveying the feeling advertised… But damn, that was painful to watch.

Excruciating, thank you.
😂 so many conversational dead ends
My life in one video

I think i got second hand embarassment while watching this😂
Let me know when you do it without the extra six months of recovery time. 😆
This is me lol

I feel called out. 😭
And you just wait for another colleague to come in and take that conversation away from you…
i feel bad for the character. he's suffering of this and still legit just tries to be nice.
