‘How do you do, fellow extrovert?’: 21 Introvert Memes Ranked by Which Would Leave the Party First
Most people seem to think that introverts straight-up dislike any form of social interaction; this is not true. Plenty of us love going to parties, meeting new people, and spending time with family. It's usually the day after that distinguishes the introverts from the extroverts. The former tend to need to literally recover from a social outing, and the latter just get more energized from it… Which is a really alien concept to me.
Now, introversion and extroversion are certainly not black and white; there is a ton of space between and within these two ends of the social spectrum, and most people actually fall somewhere in the middle. A great way to gauge someone's level of introversion is to see at what point they leave a party. Someone who declined to show up at all is certainly at one extreme, but plenty of self-proclaimed introverts might actually stay and chat well after midnight… especially if there's snacks involved. Where do you fall on the spectrum?
