I’m not a fan of describing myself with one noun but an ‘introvert’ is a word that can best sum it up.

I am often told I am angry when I am not, it used to bother me and I would put on a fake smile and nod along to what people were saying.

This is how people see me too. I always wonder why people think I’m angry when I’m not and I try my best to smile just to prove that I am not.

Now I don’t give a f~~~.

The way my family talks about my behaviour is as if it’s bad and I really NEED to change.

It comes in handy anyway, you can keep undesirables away just by the look on your face.

Exactly. I don’t open myself up to things that don’t concern me especially when they are unnecessary or of no substance. It’s not that I hate those people. That is just how I like my life to be.

I’ll go a little deeper Akanbi. This is just my personal theory and I’m not an expert so it’ll just be laymans terms.

I’ve always felt different to others, seperate. My family used to put it down to shyness and how I had to come out of my shell. That was when I was a kid. The problem was when I did try and get out of my shell it didn’t work. I was told or made to feel that the best place for me was back in it. No problem there.

When I was about 18 I started to explore myself and saw some counsellors they would tell to join clubs, again the getting out of my shell routine.

So I did. I went to places where people did the things I liked. Again, no dice. If anything I felt more isolated as now I couldn’t even connect with people who had common interests.

I’m not a s~~~ talker, I hate small talk in general. I’m not very outgoing.

Not my fault, not anyone else’s fault. It is just who I am. When I stopped fighting that I found peace.

It was everyone else who had an issue with it.

Society generally prizes extroverts highly because their “contributions” are obvious and easily perceived in a social context. Often time, they are successful in their life because people just like them. They became the role model for many, thinking this is the way to live a fulfilling lives. This create a mindset that introverts are not as good, and they should be more “extrovert”. But introvert cannot be an extrovert because he will just be pretending someone he is not. These struggles created negativity within an introvert and often time lead to a question of “Is something wrong with me ?”

No. Nothing wrong.

Do you know at least one third of the popuation are introverts? They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over working in teams. It is to introverts—Rosa Parks, Chopin, Dr. Seuss, Steve Wozniak—that we owe many of the great contributions to society.

If you are interested, the book “Quiet” by Susan Cain may be a good read.

Always been an introvert myself and shy on top of that. Socially awkward. Taken a long time but I’m making peace with that. MGTOW has actually helped with finding that peace.

Anyway, this video popped up on my suggestions list the other day as I like watching videos analyzing movies. And this was one of the best movies of the year in my opinion. Very stylish.

[OgreParticipant 5863]

You’re good.

I’ve talked to you here plenty, and you haven’t given me any warning signs of an impending axe murderer.

If people can’t read you then that’s a good thing.

Quiet, comfortable, confident. Women and society in general hate these things because the GOOD men want to impress and appease.

I failed to realize in my youth that I was the prize. I was going to work. I was going to earn. Little did I realize that due to feminism, that no longer meant I had to share. Road soon, Desert after.

There are some things I might not recognize as things I need to work on.

By the way, if you want a good book describing in detail the elements of good vs. bad self-presentation, order “First Impressions: What You Don’t Know About How Others See You” by Ann Demarais Ph.D. and Valerie White Ph.D. (published 2005).

It might be just the thing you need. You can self-inventory your own self-presentation and perhaps cherry-pick a few items you want to work on. Check out the description of the book and reviews on the book at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/First-Impressions-What-About-Others/dp/0553382012/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1508345153&sr=1-1

I think Two Step gave great advice. What I can add is that I have been on both ends of the spectrum. I used to be Mr. Effervescence and was the life of the party, charming, outgoing etc… but I just found this drew a lot of unwanted attention and I realised I was only being this kind of person to satisfy social obligations I thought were important. Now I am a little standoffish and introverted and I have found tis is closer to my natural personality.

Nothing wrong with you.

If your current level of interactions with people is satisfactory for you, then you’re not going to have any strong motivation to change. Nor should you, IMO.

Thanks for your input. I am satisfied with how much I currently interact with people.

On the other hand, if you determine that you need to socialize/network more in order to get ahead in the workplace, then work on those skills.

I will be entering the workforce very soon and I realize that I will have to be interacting with people I don’t really want to out of necessity and to give off a good impression. But do I have to engage in small talk with them? Can’t it just be straightforward to business?

No op there is nothing wrong with you in fact you would be the norm in a sane society. Unfortunately we live in a bulls~~~ society where 95% of interaction is bulls~~~ and f~~~ing meaningless drivel. There is nothing wrong with you … there is something wrong with the idiot public around you.

I wish I had a face like that. I have one of those caring/friendly/kind types of faces, and people keep asking me stuff; it gets really annoying and it eats in to my time. Since I am a MGTOW Monk, I have recently developed an NFG mind-set about women instead, which kind of helps me in compensation, because I can filter-out women for the vast majority of the time. At work, I have shuffled-off all requests for help on to my thick Mangina Supervisor, so that he can deal with the idiots/women instead of me; work is now quite blissful for me.

Hit the nail on the head there! Good to know that I’m not the only one who thinks this…

[PistolPeteParticipant 27143]

Nothing wrong with you at all—that is the way ALL men used to be. hang in there brother, hope to see you on zoom.

[Cú ChulainnParticipant 3910]

This is the expression every man should view the world with today.

[Can’t Stump TrumpParticipant]

Your description reminds me of me. I’ve been told many times by people, after they got to know me well, that they were scared of me at first.

Women are better at multitasking? Fucking up several things at once is not multitasking.

[Jan SobieskiParticipant 28791]

So you have a good poker face and are in control of your emotions.

If you are OK with how you are then who cares.

I AM NOT F~~~ING ANGRY

O F~~~ING K !!!!!!!!!!!

[Secret Agent MGTOWParticipant 22546]

Wrong with you?

I guess it depends on who you ask.

The matrix is unhappy. You apparently are not so unhappy.

F~~~ the matrix. Keep caring and showing it your own way. Actions. Not words. thats how some people are. Cut out those who keep giving you grief.

Women want everything, but want responsibility and accountability for nothing.
