If I'm quiet, extroverts think something is wrong with you.

If I talk, extroverts think I'm arrogant. I really just run with it too. My condescending tone is usually from their dumbass small talk :)

Extroverts think of things symbolically without actually understanding them. You say desk and they think of a desk from TV, you say party and they think of what a party should be. The shorter and dumber what you say to an extrovert, the better. For example you know you are talking to an extrovert if they clip the decimals off any numbers they mention in talking. You are talking to a super extrovert if they clip it down to the nearest 5% or 10%.

If you say "This party is going to suck because they have nothing but cheap beer" Their brain explodes because all they can think of is parties from TV and parties are fun. They can be such dumbasses, and thats why nattie light was invented. :p

Most of the retarded socially pressured things I see happen, happen to extroverts. You can pressure those dipshits into anything, like doing stuff they don't actually enjoy at a party because "parties are fun!"

LOL you are an idiot.

The main problem with people who dislike parties is that they aren't hanging out with the right people, and since they don't party at all they don't know how to have a good time, when they are at a good or bad party/bar.

I have been to parties, bars, around people who make me feel exactly the same way many of you talk about. on edge, just waiting till I can go, irritated, exhausted,... These same people may be totally fine when not out, but they turn into idiot assholes when they go out.

It is not as simple as many here make it out to be. Those who don't like some shitty party with bad music and a bunch of assholes can still find good people parties and places to go to have a great time.

You guys sound much like I used to be.

I used to fucking love it but do not anymore. Multiple reasons I guess. It was fun but I'm really not sad about it and don't even think about it anymore. Now, I'd way rather sit home and read, or watch a movie, or something like that.

I swear if another person says I'm a loser for not going out and partying and getting drunk Friday night, I'm going to think I'm an alien from Mars. WTF is so great about it? You go to the club, pay to get in, drinks are expensive as hell, can't hear jack squat, women just tease you and go there to get their egos stroked and free drinks and then you go home and wake up with a hangover. How is that fun? I was thinking I had an anti social personality disorder or maybe even autism or aspergers until i read this on stumbleupon http://briankim.net/blog/2007/10/top-5-things-every-extrovert-should-know-about-introverts/

That's so me. I hate partying. It leaves me with no energy. I like being alone and reading or surfing the web. I think this society elevates extroverts way too much. Introverts need to be recognized. It's almost like we're shamed if we act out our introvert nature.

I'm going to catch up on the walking dead tonight, season 2. Anybody else not partying and just staying in and chilling and being OK with it?

If you are full-on retard...stay inside.

No need to get drunk when you go out though. It's about mingling.

I want to go out tonight, but my surgery and a couple random events has my debt at $20k right now. Going to focus on that the next six months and stick to personal development and my fitness.

Neither being introverted/extroverted, nor alpha/beta are a fundamental parts of somebody's personality. You can be one thing at some point in your life and another at another point, and in degrees.

"I ate 5 pieces of cake last night"

"Why are you telling me this, get away from me weirdo."

"Hey I just wanted to let you know I was partying!"

You can turn any introvert into an extrovert instantly.

Just make them super attractive and/or super confident; they are not mutually exclusive either.

That makes me think of those make over shows.
Instant pride by illusion...
I do think a better path to failure does not exist.

It is all about being laid back and being yourself. I noticed that the most attractive people are not those with the best physical qualities, but the ones who are the most laid back. They naturally choose to look and live healthy, with healthy meaning what works best for their bodies.

What do you think a club is? Or a hardcore party?

No one notices the 'real you' during a night out.


Hanging out with your friends on a Friday/Saturday night is not partying. Which is what I prefer.

i like to go out and hang on occasion, but my drinking and partying days are long behind me. i dont actively look to go out every weekend, and if i do go out its for a couple drinks with friends, nothing huge.

It makes a big difference who your friends are. Having a group of people you want to be around will have you a lot more interested in going out, going to house parties, etc.

*raises hand*

I don't drink... Last night I had a nice mellow homecooked pasta dinner with friends. Tonight I'm going to a new friend's house to play chess. Good times. :)

In college my roommates and I would generally drink heavily, smoke, play beer pong, eat fast food, and watch movies on Friday nights. Well, come to think of it we did that almost every night...

Now that I have a M-F 8-5 job that requires me to deal with other human beings, Friday and Saturday nights sitting in front of my computer or working on my own projects and not having to deal with other human beings is wonderful. So I haven't "partied" since I started work.

Since I'm neither hot/cute, or mixed race, or have a big cock, I generally don't get invited to party with the group. It's cool though, no going out like your typical young Americans have allowed me to save up enough money to put a 30% down payment on a 3 bed/2 bath condo in a quiet, mid/high income village complex. Could've bought a Porsche too if I didn't fuck around with my money right after college.

lol

Some of you are hilarious. Some weekends I feel like partying, some I just relax at home. Just do whatever makes you happy, who cares?

8:15 here, getting ready to head into work for a few hours, and then I'm sure I'll go out and drink somewhere.
