What's your experience?
I do not have friends. Zero . Guess it is due to my mindsets and I have not find the right friends. Friends who speak about general stuff and no backstabbing or gossiping about other people and proud friends

I've only ever been friends with introverts my entire life, and I find myself having to be the one to drag them out of their comfort zone all the time.

And yes, I understand many introverts are perfectly comfortable living the way they are but that's not what I mean.

Most people I have been friends with have WANTED to get out of their comfort zone and I usually have to help them do it because I've notced they're almost entirely incappable of doing it themselves.

This makes me have to work hard to get them out of their shell just so I can have fun with them, and friendship shouldn't have to feel like a chore.
I was wondering if there is an app which allows introverts to meet up extroverts, or ambiverts to get out of comfort zone, and wondering whether anybody feel the same way as me , who prefers not to go for activities like parties, countdown parties, school orientation camps which requires one to cheer a lot, requires one to be happy about the occasion and because it makes you happy temporarily and makes you feel that life is good and that life is meant this way and they are also meaningless so you would not choose this kind of activities to join . Not the happy -go -lucky person.

I have met introverts who say they can " fake" it as an extrovert and wish I could do that since it would make life much easier (or maybe not since it depends how difficult it is to "fake" being an extrovert).

Imagine if the introverts were in charge and had the power that extroverts now have. Life would be great it seems. 8)

Extroverts are allowed to be themselves and loved for themselves because the world believes socialization is paramount. I keep trying to tell them they are wrong, but nobody listens to me. As an introvert I'm constantly being told I don't socialize enough. As if the ultimate wrongdoing one can commit is not being social.
