The no.25 is so true. Especially when haggling prices (I live in a place where haggling is a essential skill for budgetting). My mom is an extrovert so she negotiates, laughs, smashes her way into a good deal. Me on the other hand, just accepts the anchor price, and the benefits of that is most vendors in the market gift me things and save the best quality products for me :)
I’m so grateful I don’t have to haggle over prices where I live, that sounds really stressful. It’s nice that there’s a silver lining - receiving the best products since you’re paying full price. There are always hidden benefits to being an introvert!
Love the title of this!!! ☘️👋😂 I definitely relate to this all!! Although, even though the thought of walking to the mailbox and running into new people gives me grief, I actually enjoy the crows and people at times. and, even though it brings me shame to say, the “spotlight”, but only in pre-determined conditions. I did theatre as a kid and was the leading role in a couple of plays and LOVED acting, even though I was one of the shyest kids in new social circles you’d ever meet. Also, I’d love to try public motivational/comedic speaking! So I’m probably in the middle introverted spectrum. LOVE my alone time, and lots of it, but sometimes love the excitement and fun of groups and such.
Hey Megan, that’s cool you were an actress! Maybe you’re more of an ambivert, or an extrovert who also enjoys your alone time. In any case, thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts.
🙌 I never seem to fit in any “boxes” (which, I’m ok with lol) as I definitely have a ton of introverted tendencies but then, don’t hate the idea of a stage. What?? Lol. Some sort of weird introvert I am 🤣
Haha good to know I’m not alone! Thanks for reading, Mike.
I have never had to squish a spider.
So happy to hear that!

'We feel guilty if we squish a spider.' - I'm glad you added this. Sometimes I felt like such a weirdo for feeling that way.
I felt like a weirdo writing it…thank you for telling me you have the same experience!
I would love to have one-on-one dinners with the great introverts of history, starting with Abraham Lincoln. You?
Lincoln would be up there on the list for sure. I think many of the poets and philosophers in history were introverts, so it’s hard to choose.

Weird = good
As an extroverted introvert, I can relate to so much of this! Well written, and number 20 is my favorite 🤣
Thank you so much for reading! Ambiverts can relate to a lot of these for sure.
