I believe I am an ambivert; however, were I to choose which I lean towards, it would be introversion. I might look through the site. I greatly value my alone time away from people, but I also do not mind going places, being around friends and or a loved one. Though, I will admit, my less than perfect social skills are less than... Well, I should face the facts: they are terrible. More times than not, I will say the wrong thing; I will either be to quiet, or awkward when I actually am talkative; and I am no good at holding conversations. But like I mentioned prior, I will look through the site. Honestly the only difference between introverts and extroverts is where you get your energy from. An introvert gets recharged when he/she is alone, social activities drain him/her of his/her energy and can sometimes make him/her anxious. An extrovert gets recharged when he/she is doing social activities. Being alone without any social interactions drains him/her of his/her energy and can sometimes make him/her anxious. An introvert can be socially adept, he/she can even enjoy social activities and get great pleasure out of them. But in the end he/she will feel like he/she is drained of his/her energy and needs some alone time to recharge. That's what makes an introvert an introvert. You to me sound like an introvert considering you value your alone time and I guess that social activities drain you of your energy (even though you do enjoy them, I bet you feel drained after a while, right?).

*watches video* 10. I have trouble with eye contact, but I can attribute that to my autism. 9. Red looks like crap on me and makes me look like a discount Satan. Red may be a color representing lust, but it also represents honor, rage, bloodshed * BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!* 8. If comedy is key, then comedians should be kings and queens of the dating game. 7. Do not play hard to get. If they truly like you, they won't play games. 6. Women, keep on smiling. Let me whip out my grease, as smiles are my fetish... *laughs hard* 5. Brooding men are apparently sexy. Tell me if you find this sexy: 4. Mimic our potential mate's subtle movements? Sure, if I wanted to date a mime... 3. I'm the furthest thing from a smooth talker as a human can be. But it also plays to a strength of mine -- listening to, processing, but not truly caring about, what people say. 2. Herpa-derp confidence. Every man who hasn't had a date, ever, will hear or has heard this word ring in their head like a church bell. I include myself. 1. Touching someone... the easiest way to assure you get a sexual assault charge, pepper sprayed, beaten to a bleeding pulp if another, larger male detects a hint of distress caused by you if you're male. Safer to stay at arm's reach and let the woman initiate physical contact. *assuming heterosexuality* That was a painful watch. I'm also an introvert.

Lately I've had to put myself in social situations more often. The most challenging aspect for me is the fact that my interests in the world are pretty narrow (worse, among my biggest interests are things that are not really proper to talk about -- politics, religion), and I've found that people mostly just talk about such vacuous and superficial nonsense I do not know about, care about, and/or have any real opinion on: drinks, parties, "funny" things their friends did/said.
It all just seems so pointless. I truly don't know whether to envy their shallowness, or be thankful that I'm different.
Going hand-in-hand with that, I also have a bad habit of being a bit fake/generic while I converse, in fear that the real me is too weird and blunt for people to accept.
I'm working on it. I do want to get better at it, and know that I never will without constantly working at it. I guess I'm just trying to figure out how to make it work while still being me.

Maybe if you took simple conversations for what they are, you would have an easier time. Just because people don't indulge in deep discussions whenever they socialise with others does not mean they are shallow. Talking about random, every-day stuff that doesn't immediately affect the fate of entire nations/peoples etc. doesn't make YOU shallow, either. It just is what it is: socialising, nothing more, nothing less. Equally, talking about "superficial nonsense" doesn't mean that you don't have any other subjects you might be interested in. Just like talking about things like politics & religion doesn't automatically make you any smarter, better or more intellectual than anybody else. Having interests is one thing; imposing these interests on others as a prerequisite to be worthy of your attention will not make you happy in the long run. :3 You also have to take the surroundings into account. I come to this forum mostly to read, and for the odd fun banter in off-topic. There is a reason I do not visit the Politics discussion here, for instance. When I come here, I want to wind down and relax and be light-hearted... doesn't mean I am not interested in politics. Quite the opposite, in fact. Superficial conversations are the foundation, everything else builds on that, and I have found that all but the fewest people are TRULY shallow. Some people will always be better at banter, and talking, and socialising than others. It's what keeps it interesting, and trust me, there are people out there who will probably find your "weirdness" and bluntness (if you even are those things, we do tend to think complete nonsensical stuff about ourselves at times) quite endearing.

Stop your male gaze-staring violence That was just a warning. But it is not quite improbable if the feminist government of Sweden starts fining men who stare/gaze at women more than 5 seconds. I mean a couple of years ago it was considered rape!

These kinds of universal applies to everyone advice should be taken with a grain of salt imo tbh. Everyone is different. Take #1 touching or rubbing the forearm of someone you are interested in - it's a bizarre suggestion. For me when I don't know someone and they touch me in such a way it'll earn them a 'fuck you' at the very least. Maybe others are like that. This so much this. Except for the "everyone is different" part, not so much that. Lately I've had to put myself in social situations more often. The most challenging aspect for me is the fact that my interests in the world are pretty narrow (worse, among my biggest interests are things that are not really proper to talk about -- politics, religion), and I've found that people mostly just talk about such vacuous and superficial nonsense I do not know about, care about, and/or have any real opinion on: drinks, parties, "funny" things their friends did/said.

Perhaps you should work on how you actually present things instead of always coming off as a pompous asshole looking down on all of the plebeians that don't agree with you... Just a thought...

10.) Eye contact: People will think you are obsessive or a serial killer if you make too much eye contact. Besides, I'm too used to using eye contact as a means of telling if people are being genuine or not. 9.) Wearing Red: I don't wear red often. I look too intimidating *cough*ugly*cough*. I prefer to wear gentler colors in most situations. Of course, if you can't impress or inspire goodwill, intimidating is the next best thing in a professional environment. 8.) Humor: My sense of humor is very dark, sarcastic, sardonic, and politically incorrect. In case you haven't noticed. That said, I despise humorless women to the core of my being. 7.) Play Hard to Get: I generally do not work hard at gaining a woman's 'affections' because you either have them or you don't. If you never had them in the first place, you'll only get them later if she encounters some sort of disaster. So, if she seems unavailable, I generally walk. That said, if a woman seems overly interested, I generally walk then too. In my experience, most women that are openly interested want something very specific. Sometimes helping them out with that one thing is a no loss scenario, and in that, I typically oblige. Other times, they want something absolutely ridiculous and I hit the road. 6.) Women who smile I agree 100% with finding women who smile more attractive than women who don't. It's easier to make a girl smile who knows how to smile than it is for one that doesn't. 5.) Brooding men: Uh.. not sure about this one. I'm told I often have a stone face ( I generally don't spend much time looking at my own face) and it hasn't landed me anything substantial. 4.) Mirroring: Hmm. I do this for laughs from time to time, but never as a romantic gesture. 3.) Smooth Talker Erm.. never worked well for me. I'm rather crude. 2.) Confidence This is the weirdest and most cliche thing. It's more about hitting the right notes (or her being drunk/desperate enough to not care about the wrong ones) than it is about boldness or fearlessness. 1.) Touching WTF no. No, no, no, no, no, no. We live in an age were a multitude of women like to think their life is an episode of Law & Order:SVU or somesuch. They view stroking their arm on about the same level as grabbing their chest. I'd let them fall off a bridge before I grab their arm. Let her fall and walk away clean, or grab her arm and get arrested for sexual assualt. They ARE that ridiculous. That said, I find women who don't mind mediocre levels of physical contact-hugging, etc.-much more attractive than the formerly mentioned bunch. They're just so much easier to be around, and often times much more reasonable people.

LOL, like I'm dumb enough to openly be arrogant of people. Newsflash: how people act online is often pretty different from how they do IRL. BTW, I do not look down on others for this. I accept that their interests are different. No, I do not get it, but that is just my subjective opinion of it. As a similar example: I think people who think Imagine Dragons are good have lousy taste in music, but I accept their is no "correct" taste so it's an agree-to-disagree thing, and the matter is ultimately not significant enough for me to waste energy thinking negatively about them for it.

Too many rules!! D: What it boils down to is basically this: you need to make people like being around you, or at least feel at ease in your presence. It's the people that make us feel at ease that we want to be around. If you are awkward, feel awkward and act awkward, the people around you will also feel awkward, and the situation is doomed from the start. It doesn't take a lot to make people feel at ease, even you don't happen to be the ultimate extrovert. 10. Eye contact: Imagine this: you are talking to someone, and they are not looking at you AT ALL. Like ever. They are looking at their feet, behind you above your shoulder, to the left into the distance, anywhere but straight at you... what would you think? Noone is going to see past your timidness. They will take your evasiveness for arrogance, or disinterest, and the conversation will feel weird. That being said, as others have pointed out, staring at the other person is creepy as hell, so no, that is not the way to go either But holding someone's gaze for a second or two every now and then is something that even the most timid people can manage if they put their will to it, and it will definitely let the other person think that you are actually interested in speaking to them 9. Wearing red: Erm... no. If red doesn't suit you, keep your hands off it. Of course it's an eye-catcher, BUT if it only makes people notice you only to see that you look terrible in it, you done f*ed up Wear something you feel comfortable in... trust me, if you feel uncomfortable in something, people will notice, and it will not make you seem very enticing. It's all about the confidence (see below). 8. Humour: Extreme personalities aside, who would you rather be around: the whiny person, or the cheerful person? The person that complains to you about how awful their day was and how everything sucks, or the person that smiles at you and talks to you without complaining? Cheerful people make us feel better, which is why we generally enjoy their company more. Cheerfulness & humour go hand in hand, and humour can be ANYTHING in this context... it doesn't mean you have to act like a clown constantly (please don't.). So even if you aren't the cheerful sort, at least refrain from picking subjects that pull other people down emotionally (the hardships of life, bitching about coworkers and generally complaining might give you a conversation topic, but it sure as hell won't make people like you, especially if you are just getting to know them) 7. Play hard to get: No. Just... no. Actually, we should probably substitute this one with something else: DON'T BE NEEDY. Honestly, there is nothing worse than meeting someone new and them turning out to be horribly clingy. And not being able to take "no" for an answer. And spamming you with texts because you took 5 minutes too long to reply. No need to play hard to get, simply have a little common decency and respect the fact that other people value their space. 6. Smile: Smiling never hurt anyone. Like I said above, how would you feel if you were talking to someone and you never got the inkling of a positive emotion out of them? Again, no need to be creepy (too much smiling makes you feel slimy ), but even a crooked smile along the way to show interest in the conversation and the person you are talking to goes a long way. 5. Brooding men: Uhm... no? It takes a certain type of man to make brooding seem attractive. Otherwise you just come off as an arrogant d*k. 4. Mirroring: I know people have said this for ages, but I know too little of this to have any sort of opinion on it. 3. Smooth Talker: Personal taste. I prefer down to earth men, not obvious flattery, especially if it's laid on too thick. 2. Confidence: Absolutely. Not meaning you have to be brimming with masculinity, but yes, a bit of confidence never hurt anyone. The eye contact and smiling play into this category. Standing comfortably and not fidgeting also go a long way.... 1. Touching: If the situation is appropriate, go for it. If she touched you first, absolutely. Just don't overdo it!!! Don't go straight for the jackpot, start slow, like touching her arm for a second while you are talking, and again: DON'T BE CREEPY. I cannot stress this often enough. If you touch my arm and I pull away to fix my hair, take the hint. If I wanted you to touch me, I would find ANY OTHER MOMENT THAN THIS ONE to fix my hair. What you have to know is: most girls are actually normal and will not go ballistic on you, but they do expect you to recognise the signs when they are not interested. And no, they are not that hard to detect, even if women have a tendency (in most cases) to try and stay polite. (And no, I am not speaking for every woman, and I am not interested in starting a discussion on how women do/ don't react in this or that scenario, this is just a vast generalisation in response to a random youtube video and should be taken with a grain of salt )

In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.

... but generally introverts make bad businessmen. They're much better as advisors Old post that maybe I just read for the first time... I have run into a ceiling/wall due to this, and it is of my own making. I am looked at in my industry as a perfectionist and a real technician, that knows his job as well as every one else's in the department. People are literally placing mind-wagers about me all the time, with the expectation that I will be the next "big deal" in the position I have been working towards. Turns out, I'm not suited for the position, because it is too social and has nothing to do with the fucking job at hand, which is my only concern. I cannot with the trivial social BS of game-playing and political handjobs that a department head needs to do. So, reading this made me feel a little better about myself, and reminds me that I don't have to be the boss to get paid or to be valuable. Man behind the curtain is still important. Thanks Ieldra

Thanks Ieldra There are people better suited to be the "face" of a business, department, or whatever, I can understand your desire not to have be put into a position of socializing if you don't have to be. I have respect for people who are able to just jump in there and present themselves, but how they can do it is beyond me. I no longer have the patience to deal with that kind of thing, I wouldn't last long in that kind of role.
