Being introverted is such a meme cope

[nobodylovesme]

Humans are social animals. You are not an exception to this rule. You’re just an abused dog.

As a kid, I was giga NT, loved being with people, happy all the time. I was surrounded by people my age. I had so many cousins, I was super socialized. I was in the prime environment. Yes, many people don’t get this, but it is in your nature. You’re supposed to live in a small tribe of around 100 people, surrounded by others your age. Nobody becomes an introvert NEET in a normal environment.

Unluckily, puberty nuked my brain, and I fucking lost everything I had. Now I’m an “introvert”, socially unadjusted, I can’t even speak normally, when I used to be the most NT person I’ve ever seen.

I remember in first grade, I raised my hand during class and said I wanted to sing a song. Got all the boys to follow me in a line and sing it together. I can’t even believe that happened. That person is dead. I can’t relate to anyone anymore. This isolation has killed my fucking life.

It’s so over

Extremely relatable post. I was NT on a different level as a kid, now I can barely utter a sentence.

I had the same issue for a while. But LSD rewired my brain and I am extroverted again

Interesting. I might need to try that myself

I did shrooms, Got a panic disorder that lasted for a year. Literally 90% of the day insane anxiety, thought I was having heart attack all the time, even did scans in the hospital. Never touching that again.

If you’ve never tried LSD, I genuinely recommend doing 1/4 tab first. Go outside, touch grass, talk to strangers. If you’ve got no friends, you’ll actually feel compelled to socialize. The usual anxiety? Gone. You become curious instead of scared.

Then once you’re comfortable, take a full tab solo. No distractions. Let your ego dissolve and face your inner monologue. You’ll start unpacking why you act the way you do, why you cope, avoid, or sabotage. It’s brutal, but it’s real.

This isn’t spiritual nonsense. This is literal neural recalibration. Think of it as inner looksmaxxing.

There's introverts who are shy and there's introverts who aren't shy they just get drained from being around people

This thread makes me think I'm the only person here who's actually happy and well liked by people

Your experience just proves the point: you were already carrying something heavy, and the shrooms just dragged it into the spotlight. Psychedelics don’t create the chaos, they just turn off the filter and let you see the mess for what it is.

That’s why I said start low and go in with intention.

Yes, that too, but it also carries some risk of going insane, especially if you have a genetic predisposition. In my case, my granddad had delusions and was even hospitalized because of them. I didn’t know that when I tried.

At one point, I genuinely thought I was developing schizophrenia. I couldn’t even fall asleep without being paralyzed by fear, I constantly felt like someone was watching me every time I closed my eyes.

I’m so grateful I survived that. It was the most horrifying period of my life(lasted for 6months, after that I got the anxiety BRUTAL).

So yes, I do recommend trying them, but only if you’re sure there’s nothing sketchy in your DNA. It almost ruined my entire life.

and after youve finished exploring yourself you can explore hyperspace

You must fight your introverted ass everyday ngl

Either you’re NT or have a diagnosed issue. Introversion and extroversion isn’t really related to that. An introvert can often still have a good social life, communicate well ect.

You probably have anxiety. You can fix that but it’s hard

Yes, that’s most likely the case. I was trying to say that some people, like myself, cope by identifying as introverted. But after looking back at old memories and photos, I realized that probably wasn’t true for me.

So yeah, you’re right. But I still think that in a normal environment, the extrovert/introvert split wouldn’t be anywhere near the 50/50 ratio it’s often portrayed as today.

I feel u but I also think it depends like I like the idea of socializing and do it quite abit make friends all the time but I have a limit and a lot of the times I just like to chill by myself, I do agree that we are social animals by nature but I think evolution changed that a lil

I had the same issue. It’s all looks related. The more attractive I am the happier and confident I am. The more I fix my issues the happier I get, and the more socially adjusted I am.
