It’s a miracle that us introverts have not become extinct a long time ago …. Lol 😆

When I'm at a party the only thing I bond with is the trees outside or the dog/cat

An experienced introvert NEVER just stands there talking to nobody. That is a surefire pity-magnet, guaranteed to attract mother-hen-type extroverts with a compulsive need to compel everybody into cookie-cutter, lockstep hilarity. The clever introvert keeps moving, always looking like he's on the way from one sparkling conversation to another. It's the party equivalent of looking busy at work, walking seriously down the hall with a sheaf of papers and a frown: "Sorry, can't stop. I'm on a mission...." Oh yes, extroverts have their way of "working the room." The introvert's dirty little secret is: he does, too.

Been that extrovert. This is real. Solution: find another super introvert ."Sally meet Paula. Paula REALLY likes knitting too! Isn't that fascinating? AND she likes art history. You guys have so much in common. Excuse me I need to go grab a drink. Tickle in my throat." as you fade away into the crowd. Watch from afar to make sure your introverts are actually talking and not watching you. Bam. Win win.

I only go to social gatherings because of my ESTP husband... and the food. Plus, he always says "we can leave whenever you want" and I kinda believe him everytime 😭 even when I know we'll spend hours there and I won't feel free to leave because I don't want to spoil his fun... LOL. But, to be fair with him, If I tell him I wanna leave, we leave, it's just that when I see him happy, I just can't.

This is why introverts should never go to parties. Your "friend" will always abandon you.

[affinity]

We need "If Brian was honest with his friend" version. 😂

[Tsukigitsune]

That's why it's better for us introverts to bring another introvert to the party just for safety lol

[laurafigueroa]

omg that part of "you can barely talk to me even though you know me" i felt that

[marieindia]

"you really need to work on your social skills"

Jerkiest introvert ever! So dependent and manipulative!

[ajpony]

"But you NEED to come with me!"
Lol I have that problem too.

[Ace_Maus]

Always: Try to confirm beforehand whether the house you're going to has entertainment for introverts (videogames that are not FIFA, books/magazines, pets, etc.) or is introvert-friendly (I know the places where I can go and take over a desk to draw or something and no one will bother me).
You can also opt to drown your nerves with finger foods; there has to be some, otherwise it's not a good party at all.

Intj here. A friend that im not quite close to invited me to his party with other people who i rarely talk to. I invited my infp and enfp friend to go with me, but enfp couldnt go. So on that day of the party, infp and i got ready to go. As we passed by his house, we saw that the party is outside (we were hoping the party was inside cause we wanted AC), so we left somewhere and decided to come back until the sun goes down. Hours later, we never bothered to go to the party cause we both dont know the people very well and we just simply didnt feel like going 😆

My life became SO MUCH BETTER when I stopped pushing myself to be "normal" and stopped going to parties or gatherings with unknown people. My life with social anxiety AND introversion is a lot better now!

[ceilinh]

Weird.
I'm an introvert, but for some reason, in this situation, most of my sympathy is for Brian.
Poor Brian.

This is why I actually prefer more old fashioned dinner parties or events in cultures where there is an expectation that the host/person who invites has duties. In that context it’s on the host to host a successful party and that includes knowing everyone who was invited at least enough to introduce people to each other so that they’d have a good conversation, recognising the awkwardness of intruding into the space of someone you have not been introduced to. It’s not the guest’s fault if they don’t have a good time, and people who are good at hosting become known as that. It’s a legit skill set. It’s also normal in this context, if you are invited and you bring someone else, to first introduce them to the host, and then the host would briefly learn something about them and decide where in the party to match them into, otherwise you as the person who brought them in the first place should take them around.

"I gotta go to the bathroom"
"No, don't leave me. You're the only one keeping me alive"

[khunagueroagnis]

So true, but an even truer introvert would never go to a party in the first place

[lonedragon]

An introvert at a party is like a yeti.
A legend says, someone once saw it.

[wish]

If I knew that only one person I knew was going to be at a party I wouldn’t even attend 😂
