when you do online activities like this forum to get outside "people" interaction type of stimulation but when the phone rings, you don't feel like talking; when you check your mail, you don't feel like responding ... etc etc et-cet-er-aaaaa
So you end up entertaining yourself and you LIKE IT!
You spend 15 minutes at a dinner party with 4 other people and feel drained.
You dread another party you're attending tomorrow afternoon because of All. Those. People.
When you have 7,455 unread messages in your deviantart account. True story.
When you dread opening your email because you know it means you will have to reply to people.
When you love to stay up late because it means that everyone else is asleep.
When you bring a book with you on the bus and realise that it's one of the best decisions you've ever made because it stops people from bothering you.
If the doorbell rings, you do a duck and roll to make sure they haven't seen you at the window, then you don't make a peep until you've heard their footsteps walking away.
When you listen to a song in which the singer describes something personal about their own lives (e.g. a breakup) and you feel embarrassed on their behalf because now the whole world knows the details of their private life.
When you wish society in general wouldn't think you're weird just because you need time to yourself.
@Twigs:
My goodness, all of these, yes.
You don't say something at the moment then think about it and realize what you should have said when it's too late
You SUCK at flirting and showing feelings
when a Saturday night in isn't such a big deal as people make it out to be
hmmm ... I don't if this is an introvert thing. But what IS an introvert thing ... is you realize that your weirdness and awkwardness charms people ...so you just go w/it :pOriginally Posted by In.Love.With.A.Wavelength
you know your an introvert when you want to do spontaneously awesome stuff after you have planned all the details! LOL!
You know you're an introvert when you're literally never bored, because even if (for some strange reason) you don't have a book to read, then you've got your own brain to entertain you for hours on end.
(And when you get tired of that, well, there's always sleep.)
When you find an excuse to get out of the house because there's too many people in there and when someone asks if you want company, you get defensive about it.
When you say something "out of character" at work and everyone looks at you making things even more awkward.
