Why should I have to spend that much mental energy to hang out with someone? Besides, I really don't like how this represents both categories as so black and white.

I don't think relationships should be based on how much energy you "spend" versus what you get in return. If we have to use those terms, though, I would venture to say that introverts probably exert a lot of energy ( or "spend" energy) on hanging out with you. Just because you're you. It would be nice if you'd be willing to learn how to be a good friend to that person since the introvert is already doing this. I agree that introverts and extroverts aren't all black and white categories, but I think the diagram was just supposed to simplify a complex phenomenon.

both categories aren't represented as "black and white". This is just the way it is: extroverts get their energy from being around people, introverts need to recharge after being around people. every one acts like they have never heard this before. Weird. Also, it has nothing to do with being loud or quiet, like most people think. i'm probably the loudest introvert you'll ever meet

I saw this posted in a forum I frequent and aaaaall of my online friends came out of the woodwork confirming how accurate this guide was. Not to mention it answered plenty of 'why're they so weird!' questions for me.

Yes! Thank you! Its about time someone really understood us and made a statement...

God, I was so tired about explaining this to people.
I can still be "extroverted" but it comes at a cost unlike real extroverts, so people still don't believe I am introverted.
Thank you for the printable guide!

Yep, that's what I do. Admittedly, my "extroversion" is really more of an act.
π: 0 β©: 1
I used to think my extroversion was an act too, but I learned to embrace it as my "convention mode" - since I used to attend a lot of conventions and seminars.
By mentally flipping that switch to change modes - I don't feel like a fake or pretending. It's just another side of myself I am letting out to play for a bit.

How many times have I tried to explain that just because I'm outgoing and not shy doesn't mean I'm an extrovert! I even love public speaking and do a great job of it.
I'm very much an introvert and this explains it PERFECTLY. Great job! I'm going to print this out and hand it out at parties. heeeeeeeeee!

Well done. Most people don't believe I'm an introvert because of how amazingly outgoing and energetic I can seem in others company, but there it is. Stay out of my bubble

I should... show this to my friends :')
Very well made! I really loved to read it and look at the funny drawings

Not only is this funny, but completely accurate (for me at least). Beautifully done.

This comic is brilliant but I'm a little confused. (Probably not the place to bring it up but someone is bound to have an answer.)
I'm not sure whether to call myself an introvert, or if I'm just withdrawn, or somewhere in between. I don't find other people "obnoxious", don't find interaction annoying or wasteful, more like... intimidating (well, most of the time, some people I do find annoying and don't wanna waste my time with, but most I'm intimidated by).
When I do get over it, I've got the tendencies of an extrovert, or more specifically: I draw on the energy of others... Being social doesn't really exhaust me, it invigorates me. It's almost like a drug to me. Especially if I'm the one getting all the attention.
But everything else here sounds familiar/accurate. I can create my own energy, I don't often spend the energy I create for myself on others, not particularly demanding about most others spending their energy on me (it's a nice "treat", but there are some people I get demanding with, there's that "drug" thing I mentioned), I avoid people in similar ways, if I don't feel welcome I don't waste my time, I live in my own world, kind of have my own personal space bubble... I do feel as though I'm an introvert on some level, and most people first meeting me would identify me as such.
But not exactly sure where I stand...
Added to favs anyway!

Not everyone has to be either a major introvert or extrovert. The picture above describes the extreme versions of both sides, but anyone can certainly have qualities of both, or a little bit from one and most of another. If you find social interaction intimidating, it's probably just social anxiety kicking in, though that can be fixed through practice in social situations and such. Don't take my word for it, but it's just what I know/think ^_^

How typical -- the link advising Introverts about how Extroverts feel is listed as "Not Found" but the link telling Extroverts about how oppressed Introverts feel works *just* *fine*.
I can not find myself surprised that someone took the time to maintain the pro-Introvert link but allowed the pro-Extrovert link to fade away, forgotten and dismissed as being about an irrelevant sort of human being.

Before you cry anymore, here's the actual link which you're whining about: eslmarriage.com/dear-introvert...
The URL was just wrong or something in that comment. Try actually figuring out what the problem is before you go crying injustice and whatever.

And you will notice the article is one big apology from the Big Bad Old Extrovert for misunderstanding Introverts.
God! Β I learned to understand both Extroverts and Introverts decades ago in school! Β When did Introverts suddenly redefine themselves as victims needing to be coddled and suddenly redefine Extroverts as predators needing to be muzzled? Β Until recently, all the Introverts and Extroverts I have known have gotten along quite well, and neither felt harmed by the other.

Actually, I was objecting to the Introverts crying -- and noted the faulty URL as typical.
Try actually learning about Extroverts before condemning them. Β Oh, but that would require you stop feeling special and oppressed and stop scapegoating Extroverts, wouldn't it? Β Sorry.

Now you need to make one telling introverts how to deal with extroverts! I'd love to see that one!

As an introvert myself, I can verify that this is entirely accurate. I wish more people could understand this.

...I think I need to print this out and hand it out to all my friends. This is the best way to explain this that I've ever seen. Uaah it's so relieving to see it put into such perfect words!

Thank you for providing me with something I can use to help explain visually why I am the way I am. After ten years of being together my wife still doesn't understand this aspect of me. I've tried explaining it 100 different ways, but never with success. I simply cannot go for extended periods of time without some "alone" time. If I am denied that time I get grumpy and unpleasant to be around.
