Absolute same here. Given my home environment as a kid, along with being horribly bullied at school (and pranked and scapegoated on at work. High school never really ends), and excluded from general social events even outside of school. This makes me unsure if I'm really an introvert or if my experiences FORCED me into it because I find myself going back and forth between demanding my free time to myself one day to wanting to go someplace and meet people on another. But my pickiness always causes me to hesitate, due to my past experiences. I always have this underlying belief that people are out to trick or hurt me somehow.

To all lone wolfs out there being alone is never a sign of weakness or a flaw. It is a choice that some people make for various reasons. One of them being trauma that they might have experienced with humanity, especially from their childhood. Trauma can leave deep scars on the psyche and affect the way one perceives and interacts with others. Some people may find it hard to trust, to love, or to feel safe around other humans EVER AGAIN. I feel like for one to come to this choice was because they have tried every trick in the book yet they still were taken advantage of by narcissistic, self-absorbed, egocentric persons. once upon a time these were the guys whom used to be nice guys but later turned scapegoats in society, never looking backwards...

Feel bad for you and it is definitely more than just being an introvert. My second brother is an ultra introvert but he likes being around the right people and always craved a relationship.

I hope you get better and can socialize again and have some fun with the right people. Life is short so hope you find the time and opportunities to enjoy.

I feel like people deplete my energy. Theres so many people that always want something constantly and overdo in that area, or are malicious in their thinking and they are overly pushy in trying to attach themselves to you. I cant even go in the grocery store without someone asking me if i work there or to help them with something. And nothing wrong with helping people, but sometimes when i am out, i just want to do what i need to do and go back home. But I am an RN and a single mother so I am always drained in doing for others anyway. I also think that so many do not know how to look inwards or self soothe at all, that they are more inclined to dump their issues on those they perceive to have it all together. But in the end of the day, we are all humans with limitations.

Being antisocial is not the same as being selectively social. Choose the people you decide to have around you carefully.

I don’t have a lot in common with most people around me and my personality rubs people the wrong way so I just enjoy my own company more. I hate tedious small talk, I laugh with difficulty, I seem to think differently than others around me.

My favorite people to be around are the ones who are perfectly fine with peace and quiet every so often, including from talking. Extroverts often find silence "awkward", like they HAVE to fill that silence with talking or else they're uncomfortable. Myself, on the other hand, enjoys being able to talk and then take a break from talking without the other person trying to fill that silence. Like, it's okay to just be chill here and there. Stop making the silence awkward. It's only awkward if you force a conversation. Just let the convo come naturally

Some people just prefer to be alone. Other people need to get over that and leave those alone who want to be alone. Being a loner is not a crime or a sin.

Most people suck to be around and contribute nothing but burdensome negativity, judgement and drama. It's far easier to be alone than it is to search endlessly for genuine connection cause it is hard to find these days and the longer the search draws on the more hopeless you feel.

My challenge is that so many people are uncouth, ingenuine, aggressive, combative and judgmental. The world seems to be teeming with jerks and few kind, empathetic people.

Being at high school I was around the wrong group which did make me think I didn’t enjoy people’s company but that was just never true, at home I got along so well with my parents and brother, it was simply because i never liked my so called ‘friends’ in school they would bully or be very rude to other students and teachers, they would make jokes which would go beyond the limit and eventually lead to dramas or problems which I just never liked, even though they barely ever did anything to me it was clear they did not care about or saw me as a real friend, because I wouldn’t be apart of their behavior but since it’s high school you didn’t really have much of a choice in making friends.I just could not be comfortable with how they would treat others. I was always the quiet friend in that group, sometimes I just find a place where I could be alone and go home. Eventually I did find a few people just like me who were quiet and shared similar interest and I could get along with them well, for a time those fake friends made me believe I did not enjoy being with people if they weren’t my loving or trusting family but eventually I learned to not that hold me back and found better people who I can call real friends

being betrayed, having people screw you over for selfish reasons or not stand up for you when things were clearly wrong. not wanting to bother because the rejection isnt worth it. not having enough in common with anyone to make them interested in the first place

How do you deal with having to work with others?

I would be happiest if I could be alone at least 90% of the time. I haven't been diagnosed but I KNOW I am an HSP. Even if I am alone there is a limit to how much music, tv, or anything that has sound that I can handle. I must have quiet time every day.

It's almost comical how my empathetic nature acts like a cosmic vacuum cleaner, effortlessly attracting all the debris of narcissistic and toxic individuals. I find myself unintentionally engulfing their negativity, like a black hole in the presence of their antics. It's not in my job description, but somehow I've mastered the art of unintentional magnetism. Blessed with a big-hearted empathy and a knack for attracting the negative, I'm like a superhero battling toxicity. Saving the day, one soul-sucking encounter at a time!

I can't really give a reason that I don't like people other than "hurr durr me special need" my autism influences the way i talk to people, the people i talk to and what i say. I prefer being alone and solving problems on my own, i get really nervous meeting people and i generally don't talk to people or go anywhere. I've been told it's "bad for me" and that i should leave the house more and make new friends, but i don't want to. Don't socialise if you don't want to. Not wanting or needing friends is perfectly fine.

I find most make me feel worse about myself.

After 4 years of not being in school the only person I liked was someone dying of alto immune disease, she, she wanted me to be happy and focus on my goals something that is incredibly rare (most people say that because of their job or because they knew my potential) you simply don't get people who genuinely just want you to be happy and shows great interest in your actions (nowadays people have too much pride or greed to really care or that they believe that you're just boring and they want to be with others)

So my guess is like 3/4 stress, different moral and beliefs and smart (despite the fact I enjoy being with high energy people (because it's indirect contrast to who I am today and because I like mimicking thing thusly making happy for a shot time) I simply find that they don't understand why I'm the way that I am and then I loose interest... )

I used to love being around people but after college things changed. It just takes so much mental energy to socialize now

Despite the fact that in addition to being an introvert and probably an HSP I've been dealing with an illness, I have been feeling extremely guilty for not wanting to socialize at all lately. This helped me feel a little better, thank you!

Perhaps take a Meyers Briggs Personality test. Some ppl are just wired to be alone, such as INTJs. It could help you feel better about yourself and learn from others that are similar and how they deal with stuff. I found quite a bit of relief knowing I wasn’t ‘just weird’ and the only odd duck.

I am an introvert. I don't trust people. Opening myself to people has often got me hurt. I get lost when I hear more than one conversation going at a time, which often happens in large gatherings. I do better in small groups, but often prefer to just put in my headphones and listen to music than to deal with people.

I like being around ppl I actually have a genuine connection with.

Being around people is tiring just the fact that they’re around I pick up on their vibrations their thoughts and even if we don’t speak I feel like we’ve had 30 minute nonsense conversations now I understand

I was ok until I joined the Military, now I don’t want to be around anyone. I find most people are just phony, they say one thing and do another. I have 3 friends, Me, Myself, and I.

It’s a problem for me. I am an introvert and I don’t prefer being in groups of people. But, I also often feel better after having been in a group. My mind understands that socializing can be good for me, while my personality avoids it. The result is that have no close friends, though I would like to have at least one or two good friends.

There's a good few reasons why I don't like people (that I don't know) 1. I have a small friend group, just four guys who hang out and play videogames together frequently. I prefer smaller groups, as it keeps the drama down and the vibes up. 2. I only really stick to my close friends. With them I'm open and rambunctious, but around people I don't know I become quiet and reserved. I'm not shy, it's just me trying to get a read on the people around me. 3. The noise of a crowd gets to me easily. Even being in a bigger city makes me uncomfortable and on edge. 4. I don't trust people I don't know much at all. If someone is getting up in my face I will take that as a threat and will either try to disengage or get them to back off, usually the former. 5. I am a cynical person overall, with a nihilistic world view. This leaves me doubting the intentions of someone pretty often. If you're a friend of a friend you're probably ok, but I'll keep an eye on you. If I don't know you, and none of my friends really do, all bets are off and we aren't going to be anything more than acquaintances cause I don't trust you at all. 6. I don't have an amazing life, and my mental health has been in the dumpster for years now, so if I even smell the smallest amount of drama I'm peacing out. I can't deal with that bs. I basically dropped out of a friend group for that reason. People started dating, things got messy and sides were made. I decided to dip instead of take a side. I basically inadvertently started it by dating one of my best friends in that group, unfortunately she was a little crazy, and broke up with me after a few months, only to immediately start dating someone else (and then cheat on them). Our relationship was kinda forced by the rest of the friend group, so that left things in a rough place. I'm not too upset about it, but not a great first time experience for dating and probably why I have some of the trust issues I do now. Anyways, that's enough of me ranting. I'm sure there are some people who feel similarly to me, so hi to you guys. If you don't feel similarly thanks for reading my bs. Hope you enjoyed the peek into the mind of a person with MDD (Major Depressive Disorder)

Thank you for the video. I was just wondering why I’ve been being a hermit more than usual these days ❤ Turns out I’m just really annoyed with doing the same thing every day.. and it’s not serving me positively doing it. It’s so hard sometimes :/ half the time I feel like I’m from another world or something. I’m just not “the norm” I’m at peace with it now though ❤ Your videos always make me so calm and help me understand why I do the weird things I do lol I really appreciate you being here! ❤

I'm primarily a loner. However I can relate to a group when I have to. Frankly, for me, a lot of people really don't have anything interesting to say. My partner is HSP so we get along great. I also have a disability which makes people feel uncomfortable around me at times.

The reason why I don't usually like to communicate with people is because I hate to feel that I'm different or kinda off compare to others though conversation. However, also, I'm struggling with loneliness.

From when I was young i always had different making friends because I was to mature for my age so often solving my life problems I would prefer to do it myself, thinking in a different way than others and having a better understanding of things made it so much harder to find friends in middle school that matched my energy. I felt different and as if was the problem , I didn’t like to talk about gossip ,crushes or whatever , I loved talking about history, books ,crime,things happening around the world and the way are brains are fascinating and different in so many ways.

I don't like people because everyone seems so (fake) happy nowadays like they've got it all together and figured out and want to show off about it.. But I actually do feel more weak by being alone because I never seem to know what do or I don't have enough courage to do things by myself.. Or there's always some kind of drama involved and they blame it all on me.

For me, it's not because I'm being awkward or don't know what to do or what to say in front of people. But from my experience, people often seeking for trouble whether it's with me or other people. For example, I was just drawing cartoons in my class one day, and these girls start throwing rolled papers at me. Even though I don't bother & just continue what I do (and pick up the papers they throw casually for my drawing supply), sometimes I still wonder why people do such things. If only I asked them why...That's just one example, but this is the particular reason why I often avoid people as much as possible: because they are annoying.

I know what you mean and sadly there are so many messed up idiots in this world that do mean things for no good reasons at all. They are the ones with issues not you. There are good people too so you shouldn’t think all people are bad and annoying.

Schizoid personality disorder can also make u hate being around others. People with this personality disorder think that people aren't worth the labor. They don't have the desire to connect and interact with people.

Well, I was bullied my entire school life and because of that, I have social anxiety disorder. Plus, I'm a HSP and a borderline, so I prefer to be alone because I have thunder inside me and I don't wanna hurt people around me since my mood switches in a second. I only feel comfortable when I'm all alone in the darkness of my room.

Introvert people nailed it but being silent is a secret tool to know the weakness of your enemy ❤

I have always been shy my whole life but when i started middle school Everything changed, i’m not comfortable being myself or saying a single word cause everyone was judgemental and my classmates hated me for my past so i never said a single word to anyone in school for 3 years and they hated me even more for that

I'm an introvert with social anxiety and autism, and I've really wanted to actually get out of the house and meet a new friend group. But I tend to just sit in my room playing video games all day instead. I'm at that point in life where I'm looking to transition into a full time job (with not many responses back) while being bored for most of the summer outside of gaming, listening to music, and watching KZread. Taking a break from Twitter has only increased my boredom, despite being glad that I did it, as it made my social anxiety worse. The most activity I tend to have outside of the house (when I'm not with my parents) is grabbing a bite to eat, or running an errand for my father before returning home. I need a vacation. Maybe another concert experience. IDK. I just need something to look forward to that isn't a random KZread video, album drop, or game update.

Alot of people are too freaking nosey and when they hang around together they tend to make you feel uncomfortable but when these people are by themselves they seem lost and outta place. It's like the Lord of Flies mentality, when they're in a group they become bullies. I like to hang out but people don't have to everything about you. I refuse so I usually stay away.💪✌️

I mainly find it hard to be around others because I’m afraid that they will judge me harshly. I have always never considered myself to be attractive, and that never helped with me being socially awkward. I also put too much pressure on myself. I have been working on my self-esteem, and found out that I do have it thanks to the video “7 Signs you hate Yourself” by Psych2go. Thank you so much for posting that. I have much better self-esteem now and have tried to be easier on myself. I also realized I might have ADHD. I have all the signs, and others say that I have it. I could never focus in class, and I thought something was wrong with me, or I was dumb. I also get distracted SO easily, and I have always felt this way. I do know I have maladaptive daydreaming. It might just be that. I’m also a huge introvert. I prefer hanging out with my dog than my friends. Now you know me 😄 Thank you Psych2go. You have helped me so much. Hopefully someone can relate to me. Hope everyone who reads this has a wonderful day! 💜

For it is an ancient truth that not all who wander are lost

I am an hsp. I find the company of loud people almost unbearable. Any loud noise, actually. Dogs barking, shopping centres, big gatherings of people - they all drain me completely.

Because we've been betrayed, abandoned and hurt by those we care(d) for over and over again. At some point you just learn to not stick your hand in the fire anymore. At some point, one might realize that he's completely on his own, even in a room full surrounded by others that one has helped and been there for time and again. It's often about self preservation and self respect.

Here's a question: How do you differentiate a Highly Sensitive Person from an Empath?

@officerjazzi

10 ай бұрын

HSPs are sensitive to stimuli - things that affect a person’s sight, sound, touch, smell, taste. They have some crossover with empaths because of this, since they emotionally/physically/mentally react to the stimuli, but Empaths are strictly sensitive to social/emotional cues of people - not necessarily all stimuli that can be experienced on this earth, so not so similar to an HSP. At least that’s how I understand it.

Sometimes, I'm not much of a people person. However, I feel like people (secretly) don't want to be around me. And who would? 😔

Same here, I'm not very likeable even though I keep to myself & don't bother anyone.

As an ENTJ, I am glad to have the opportunity to try to understand people who think differently to me. Thanks, PSYCH2GO.

I hadn't had alone time in months. Put it like, eight months. I just can't stand anything anymore... I'm not being myself it's been a long time due to that. And what can I do about it? Nothing. There's always someone looking for me or trying to talk to me, or even including me in things I want to do alone. It's all just... Tiring.

I consider myself as an introvert by i started thinking that this may be my cover for not wanting to try communicate with people. For an example, at school/university, im passing by a lot of people without saying a word, I see a friend on the halway or a crush maybe, but i feel uncomfortable getting close and talking. But when *they* approach me, Im acting like the most comfortable human. I assume this is happening due to the uncertainity. It's like i want to be 100% sure if they'll talk to me when I approach. (Also bad English problem)

Seems like the older I get, the less I want to socialize.

as an introvert i can't stand the 'there's no me in team attitude.' to which i usually respond 'well i can spell team without u.' i can be just as, if not more productive, in team environments than extraverts. often times, while i'm advancing on a project, extroverts are busy dilly-dallying about, sometimes detouing the group's progress

Introvert lose energy when around people, and Extroverts gain energy. The difference is how much mental gymnastics they perform when interacting with others. Introverts tend to choose their words carefully to not come off as rude or hurt someone's feelings. Extroverts usually care less about that and say whatever is in their mind.
