Introversion doesn't necessarily mean social issues. It has to do with, I suppose, "social energy". An introvert finds themselves exerted spending time with others, whereas an extrovert finds themselves empowered. I can carry a conversation just fine and often have fun in even heavily social settings, but I have reasonably strict limits on what I can take before needing my own time. It's not a "I hate people" thing, either -- I'm just someone who needs their own space more often than others.
The biggest difficulties concerning introversion are nothing to do with introversion itself, but the way in which wider culture in biased in favour of extroverts. Nothing against extroverts, mind. They didn't actively engineer things this way.
Kinda funny, too. One of my best friends (and probably my most consistent meatspace friend over the last few years) is much like me if I were an extrovert. He doesn't seem to understand that I sometimes just want to stay at home with tea and books and stuff. He's a massive nerd who plays a shitload of space sims and Warhammer and stuff, but he just so happens to have a kind of social energy only available to extroverts.
Yeah, what I meant with introvert is not the actual definition but reserved
i also forgot reserved was a word because shut up
Sometimes I crave social interaction but sometimes I crave introspective time. I really don't know what am I.
>i still suck at flirting and shit, though (Try to act surprised, Malk)
Last night I tried to initiate flirting by complimenting a girl on how she played Blazblue. Glass houses and all that.
You didn't compliment her, you said that you loved getting a beating.
I like building glass houses in Minecraft. Fun to just watch monsters swarm all around you at night and the watch them burn when the sun comes up.
It seems that I misplaced various keyboard keys whilst repairing the damn thing. Ah well.
I'm definitely introverted.
Interesting reading.
^I don't see how that's anything more than typical "those durn liberals!" babble. Not to mention that ignores the enormous conservative cultural influence in economics, and the military.
^^^^And I complimented her administering of the beating.
still, unsubtle.
To say nothing of the conservative influence in media via news studios like Fox News and a swarm of radio talk hosts.
I was shocked that some people called the Opening of the Olympic Games to be evil MARXIST PROPAGANDA.
^^^Notice I was agreeing that I'm -bad- at flirting, right?
Also people love to see propaganda everywhere.
just saiyan
Okay IJBM! What would have been a better pick-up line? GOGOGOGO!
I'm starting to see why your pick-up lines aren't very good.
hey babe
i see you are quite the chun-li
and...
fuck can't make a pun around that
at any rate, what i'd suggest is simply ask her about her costume and then go from there. - shrug -
All in all using pick up lines on a cosplayer is probably a futile effort no matter how smooth and charming you are. Because by the end of the day, they will have been hit on so many times by horny fuckwads, chances are they are burned out to flirtation in general for that day.
So it's not only that you are bad at flirting. You picked like the least optimal person to flirt with.
^^^....fair point
^^It wasn't the first thing I said to her you know. >_>
"I've got a fuhlen about you."
"How about we go back to yours and I can zwerchau your zornhau."
"Wanna see my langenschwert?"
"Ever been pierced by an anachronistic relic?"
sorry
>"Ever been pierced by an anachronistic relic?"
THIS ONE ONLY WORKS WITH YOU.
Those lines only work if you are trying to pick up museum curators Alex.
Hmmm...It's worth a shot.
"You know, I am glad I got beaten by someone with a cool sense of fashion."
Or
"I apologize, but I am in awe at your beauty."
or something.
"Hey, you beat me. Wanna come over to my place and beat something else?"
i am terrible
I lol'd
I indeed feel horrible for doing so.
It was the last and that's what matters
Is everyone here with a sense of subtlety of the anvil-type a masochist?
Fair point, but I've kicked myself before for not giving it a shot with women I would probably never see again.
In this case I can tell myself
and (maybe I'm wrong) but I don't think it's like what I said was super skeezy or anything.
As a complete coincidence all my long-standing relationships have been due to the other person initiating them.
Skeezy it wasn't, but subtle either.
If it has to be subtle I'm fucked beyond belief.
