#introverts vs extroverts

Our culture made a virtue of living only as extroverts. We discovered the inner journey, the quest for a center. So we lost out center and have to find it again.

Mom is attacking me here in church because she thinks I didn't say hi to her friend. She attacked me twice so I know once we get home she's going to attack me once again.

Sorry that I don't do what you do and go up to people with a dance and hug people and pat their backs and stuff. I just wave shyly at people because I've been that way my entire life?

What's with extroverts getting offended at introverts' ways of greeting others? I silently wave and the other person waves back.

There was no disrespect here?

I don't get the fact just because you didn't see it you think it didn't happen, either. 😂

i really hope the people saying tsugeura will be involved w suo’s arc are right especially considering the “fighting as a form of conversation” thing…mr “loud and pushy + a brawler who literally lets people have the first hit before whaling on them” vs mr ““mature” and reserved + controls people’s movements by dodging and redirection” to be so honest we need to just lock the two of them in a room for 24 hrs i think suo would lose his mind

To be frank, I find the introvert/extrovert discourse online insane and completely ridiculous. People will fight to the death about if a character, Elizabeth Bennet, is an introvert or an extrovert, and people: they are opposites. If I/E aren't easy to tell apart for a main character of a novel, the categories are meaningless. But then oddly, considering that no one can tell I/E apart, extroverts are also some weird totally different species from introverts.

But Elizabeth Bennet is an extrovert and checks every single extrovert box and the reasons real internet people keep giving that she isn't are bonkers:

She takes solitary walks. I have some crazy news for you, extroverts can walk. I, a certified extrovert, take solitary walks nearly every day because I have a dog, whom I adopted knowing I would take her on these walks. It's shocking I know; I don't even die of loneliness at all! Consider for a moment that Elizabeth Bennet spends all day surrounded by four sisters and a very talkative mom, not surprising she takes walks alone occasionally. You'll also notice that she does invite her sisters along most of the time.

She reads. More shocking news: extroverts can read. Some of them read a lot. You know enjoying being around other people doesn't exclude reading. In fact, in the Regency you could even read aloud as a group activity! That is something we see in the novel. And Elizabeth also puts down her book when she finds a conversation more interesting.

She processes issues internally. That is not her preference, she likes to talk it out with Jane. When she's leaving Hunsford, Elizabeth is desperate to finally talk with Jane about all the crazy stuff that has happened to her, but she is forced to conceal a good deal of it because it's about Jane. She can't discuss Darcy with the Gardiners because his proposal is a secret, but she is eager to talk about the Lydia thing and learn her uncle's opinion. Also, extroverts are fully capable of processing internally, because again, not a different species.

She has trouble talking/feels awkward after the second proposal. Who wouldn't be awkward? Do people honestly think extroverts never feel awkward??? Not even when they love a guy that they verbally destroyed a few months ago? Not even during a confession of love? We uh... do. We get awkward too. In fact, sometimes when an extrovert talks rapidly, they are trying to talk their way out of an awkward situation. I have to work myself up to making phone calls.

Anyway, it drives me totally up the wall. Elizabeth Bennet is an extrovert, she thrives around people. Both end couples, Jane & Charles and Elizabeth & Darcy, are introvert/extrovert pairings, which is fun. If you want an introverted heroine, Jane Austen wrote five of them and they are all excellent: Elinor Dashwood, Marianne Dashwood, Fanny Price, Jane Bennet, and Anne Elliot. Catherine Morland, Emma Woodhouse, and Lady Susan round out the extroverts. It's awesome that Austen had such range in heroines.

Twilight and Warriors arguing/bantering

They crack me up. Literally almost every scene where they interact is like this.

(Also in general Warriors has his mouth open more)

That is all

there's two kinds of people in this world- people who routinely use headphones while in their own house, and those who use speakers instead & i think that is so much more telling about someone's character than a star chart or the mbti

Picard when he has no friends: fucks off to France and makes wine

Janeway when she has no friends: destroys timelines, commits so many many crimes

I saw the meme and figured this would fit well, since I adore the “Extrovert adopts introvert” dynamic.

Palette was sulking to herself someplace after work and Wally wasn't having any of it.

It didn’t seem right to have Wally alone in the car, so I added an equally cute oc I saw, Millie. [sorry for the sudden drawing-]

Millie belongs to @artsybug0

Diva Wally belongs to @frillsand

i have a personal hc that leo is actually an introvert but everyone thinks he’s an extrovert due to how he tends to act. i like to think he tends to just act that way either due to reflex when he put on an act around others or when he’s comfortable around people and can act as loud and crazy as he likes. however, he prefers spending time either alone inventing or with his closest friends, piper and jason.
