I wasn't sure where to put this so I thought the general board was as good a place as any. I want to start sharing some of the shyness and introversion memes and quotes I've come across and I thought maybe some people here would appreciate them like I do. Feel free to add your own if you wish.
A lot of the time, introverts and shybies are the same, but they're not one and the same. After all, there are outgoing introverts and shy extroverts (the latter, I imagine, would be a nightmare ).
I don't need to "get a life", I'm a gamer -- I have lots of lives!

Very true. Introversion and extroversion definitely run on a spectrum, and then there's shyness which is kind of its own parallel spectrum. I seem to fall under both introverted and shy, so I guess a lot of the memes and quotes I share will fall in one or the other category.
I'm introverted and shy, too. Being around people (even immediate family) for extended periods drains me, so, if I can, I go somewhere to be by myself for a while to recharge.

I actually like being around some people and do become energetic enough because of it, but I am shy in that I'm never the center of attention nor do I want to be the center of attention. Also I think I am just bad at relating to people, I feel like I'm very poor at socialising.
I've had people point it out to me like somehow I didn't already know this about myself. I've never come up with a good way to respond to it other than becoming more awkward.
I've had that said to me and said that to people, I never mean to put people on the spot like that, it's only when I'm playing a game and someone goes quiet after a while. That said when people single you out in a group and say it to you, it can annoy me.
