I am pretty introverted. I like keeping to myself for the most part unless I am around people that I feel that I can really converse with and relate to. The ironic part is that I have found myself in bad conflicts with other people because of my personality type. Because I like to be left alone, I have been around people who are consistently in my face when they need attention and don't know how to back off. This sometimes causes me to blow up in anger because I spend alot of time thinking and being quiet so I lack the skills that it takes to communicate my thoughts in the best way. I end up "sticking my foot in my mouth" so to speak when I have to communicate exactly what is bothering me with the person whom I have the issue with. Does anyone else find that having a more introverted personality leads to this kind of proble

I'm like that, but I don't blow up. I'm strong but I tend to be quiet but that doesn't mean anyone can mess with me. If there is a problem I will tell that person the nicest way I can. If they are offended then they have to face up to the truth. I have learned some people have to heard or there will be problems, like this one girl I worked with she would lie left and right just for someone to pay attention to her and I felt sorry for her because everyone secretly hated her. I let her talk, I just didn't really listen because in her case I think she needed to have someone listen to her ramble on. Little annoying but I did it so she wouldn't feel alone. I have the same introverted personality but you just have to work around it to have self confidence and stand up for yourself when necessary.

Almost every personality test I take says I'm more introverted than extroverted. I don't actually 'overcome' most of these traits. I learn to work with them. I don't want to get rid of them or ignore them because there are ups and downs to them, and besides, what would my personality be if I had none of them? Basically I learn to find a balance best I can. Still working on it of course. as for the traits that are completely negative here, well, I try to reverse them best I can. You just gotta find a balance. Pisces sun Cancer moon

Yes, I can understand your view-point. ( I used to do the same thing) I am also an Introvert, of the INFJ Temperament.
Some facts:
Around 3/4 of the planet is extroverted. With that said, I believe perhaps your friends may be as well. ( They may not "understand the requirements" that come along with introversion.) Educate yourself and them on this subject.
Perhaps, the more you know about it...the greater tolerance and wisdom, you may have with others on this subject. It has worked for me.
Hope this helps a little.
Many Blessings!

Yes, it's just a matter of finding a better outlet for your anger or communicating earlier that you don't appreciate what they're doing. I have a very similar personality. I just walk away till I've cooled down.

I get like that too. I usually help out the people with a problem though. On the other hand, if I do need help, they are no where to be found.
