Rocky start

Zoom wasn’t invented yet

That a scaredy cat?

Maybe next time they could offer a buffet.

Everyone’s a introvert these days. With them little smartyphones on their hands they no looks or talks to anyone around em.

How many introverts does it take to change a lightbulb?

Why does it have to be a group activity?

I don’t see how introverts can vote for Bernie.

I would figure they want anti-socialism.

Did you hear about the introvert who was so happy living in Antarctica?

He was ice elated.

I may be an introvert, but I have a fairly successful ore industry.

I mine my own business.

What do we call introverts?

Social vegans who avoid ‘meet’.

There’s another cave that says “Meeting of Procrastinators… Tomorrow”.

They’re all at the shy pride parade.

I don’t think most introverts are fearful; I think many just don’t fear being alone, and refuse to waste time with meaningless small talk.

They just need to get thier rocks off.

Introverts of the world, UNITE!

Separately, in our own homes.

So – literally “hiding behind a rock” eh?

I can tell we have a group of extroverts commenting here.

Who would have guessed so many worms were introverts?

Hey, a miracle that some showed up at all.

introverts aren’t afraid of other people, we just don’t want to be around them

I see an introverted cat.

…..and anonymous!!!!!!

Most of them are waiting for someone else to go in first.

I notice that Peter is presiding…since when is HE an introvert?

That’s my wife. I think she’d rather eat glass than speak in public or meet new people.

Still water runs deep, but not deep enough in this case.

And hiding behind that rock is a purrr-vert…

Doesn’t it seem odd that an introvert meeting is held outdoors?

Oh, was that today???

I’m not sure that a real introvert would even be INTERESTED in meeting with anyone else. I mean even in theory. An introvert is interested only in the internal matters not externalities.

Yeah, I would be behind one of those rocks if I was extroverted enough to go to a meeting.

One point of interest is that it is an annual meeting meaning they only have to suffer through this once a year. Better than AA where you are supposed to attend meetings once a week at a minimum. Second point is that the community appears to only have one admitted introvert. If so, he only needs to avoid the crowd when everyone else gets together.

And to just be pedantic, an extrovert is someone who is energized by being in a crowd, ie they enjoy it and feel benefitted by the crowd. The introvert conversely feels enervated or drained by being in a crowd. It really has little to do with liking or disliking people. It is simply the “crowd” aspect that bothers introverts. For example, an introvert may love being with various family members in small numbers but a huge family reunion would drive them around the bend no matter how much they like the people individually.

“It’s ok, I’ll just stand here quietly in the back of the room, right next to the door”

It’s going better than expected.

I’m an introvert and not ashamed to admit it, with my anxiety I just can’t stand being around too many people or I will go into a panic attack ( medically called social anxiety), I never had a problem with the isolation part when Covid started because I hardly went anywhere already.

It is clear that whoever wrote this has no idea what an introvert is.
