Prince of Fatness
I was in the self checkout at Target and the attendant started making small talk and asking me about everything I purchased. Fuck. I just wanted to buy my shit and not talk to anyone at lunch. Just let me be an asshole in peace.

Yeah, and what makes it worse is anytime you’re in the store and actually need to talk to an employee you get crickets.
Not at it at all.
That Death Thingy
I am in overall agreement with Jason's post. Introvert high-five!
Yes! Jason nailed it!
As a person with narcolepsy, I’m already in a permanent state of sleepiness. After a social gathering, I feel like I just swallowed an entire bottle of sleeping pills.
If we built an Introverts' Clubhouse, what would it be set up like? A circular room with all of the tables facing outwards so you don't have to look at the other people?
This is a much better name for the thread!
This always happens. 1. I walk into a restaurant, and I am overjoyed to find that I am the only customer there. I get my food and sit down in a totally empty seating area, where I can enjoy being an introvert and introverting in the middle of all of this glorious introvertedness. 2. Right after I start to eat, some other guy gets his food and sits down at the next table over in a seat so that he is directly facing me.
I'll always respond in a friendly way if someone starts to converse with me. There's a fine line between being an introvert and being a snobby prick, and I'm pretty good about not crossing that line. Still, the above scenario always annoys me.
You got 'em. Let the anticipation begin.

We'd probably be better off in a virtual setting. Like here.
You mean this isn't the Introverts clubhouse ?
I must have made a wrong turn at Albuquerque.

Yes and a shitload of good beer so at least I'd talk

No offense DR, but leave me the fuck alone.
I'm happy, hope you're happy too...

Fellow introvert. I just got back from grocery shopping and will hopefully not talk to anyone again for several hours.
And my wife is one that will talk to anybody
Mostly harmless
INTROVERTS UNITE!
This made me laugh.

My husband is that way, too.
Mine is too, but it takes the pressure off me to talk when we're in social situations together. It only gets tough when I'm ready to leave and he's happily chatting away with someone.
I don't think I am an introvert, but I like my alone time (time with wife not included). I don't want to run or bike with anyone, I don't want to go to your party, I don't want to make small talk with strangers, I don't want to go to any meetings, and I don't want to eat lunch with anyone. I just want to be left alone.
^ This x 2.
I go to the park a mile away from work for lunch. I used to go to one a little closer until a coworker showed up and sat by me.
I found the new park and didn't mention it to him.
Run 5 miles, no-one* even tries to come along and chat with you.
*Well one guy did. He was so out of breath he couldn't speak, dropped early and never tried again.

You people have issues....
I like my alone time. I like spending time with family. I like interacting with good people. I still have issues, but, damn, nothing compared to you poeple
