To set the record straight, actual antisocial behavior is destructive and often criminal. So if you dislike small talk, I would recommend you don’t go around telling people you are antisocial, it might give off the wrong impression. Though if you do prefer to be quiet, you probably aren’t going around telling anyone anything, so the problem is solved. If you want to be on the safe side, just say you are an introvert, though that’s not an ideal descriptor either. 

This is because introversion is technically used to describe a person who is more reserved and who likes to think a bit before speaking. Introverts are also less likely to seek out social interactions, particularly with new people, but many people just take this one indicator and use it to define the entire set. However, it is true that introverts do tend to enjoy solitary experiences, just remember that a person can be defined by more than their liking or disliking of talking with others.

Often, shyness is confused with introversion, but this is actually false. Shyness is a response to distress, discomfort, or trauma that people have experienced, and can also be found among extroverts. Remember, shyness is the difficulty in social interaction, while introversion is the lack of desire. So if most of these memes are relatable, more than likely you are introverted, not chronically shy. Shy extroverted people have it the worst, as they do want to meet new people but bad experiences make it stressful.

Because extroverts can be often found in groups and introverts don’t gather, it creates the false impression that introverts are some weird minority. In fact, it’s possible that half of the population is introverted to some extent, though this can range from a slightly “weaker” social battery to a full-blown isolationist. Somehow, extroverts have managed to hijack the narrative and we all tend to live by their rules.

In fact, some psychologists challenge the notion that one “is” an introvert or an extrovert, as actual human behavior is too varied to easily fall into one category or another. Generally, an extrovert would be a person who acts extroverted more often than a person who would fall into the category of introvert. But most people do socialize, party, and make small talk at some point during their lives, just in different amounts.

Nevertheless, people who would categorize themselves as introverts, most likely most of the readers of this post, do often feel a certain self-consciousness at this label. In some studies, when asked to roleplay, introverted people ended up appearing more extroverted to outside observers, simply because they would over what they thought a particularly social person would act like. Researchers call this self-monitoring, where we are more aware of certain behaviors, so, for example, an extrovert wouldn’t even think twice about being more loud and talkative, as it comes naturally.

Often, extroverts are seen as happy while introverts carry this stigma of being secretly lonely and miserable. This is patently untrue. First, extroverts self-report higher levels of happiness, but this doesn’t necessarily mean they are more happy, rather, they are under more social pressure to seem always cheerful. Introverts have no such compulsion and will often be more honest about their emotions if they actually decide to speak to someone about them.

Finally, there is no measurable connection between extroverted traits and “calmer” forms of happiness, such as contentment and serenity. So not only are extroverts potentially lying about being happier, they may actually have more trouble finding other forms of happiness. So if you are an introvert, always feeling like there is some outside pressure to “do” more, feel free to ignore it, and instead, check out one of our other articles here, here, and here
