I have a friend who is an introvert. He doesn't like initiating texts or phone calls and has been very clear about it from day one. I initiate 9/10 times but I feel like I am interfering with his schedule. Same happens with phone calls.

Also when i initiate, at times he keeps on chatting and at times he replies with emoticons or one word. He doesn't like talking about his feelings or mood-offs and likes to deal them on their own.

Is it their nature to keep a distance like this?

I think it would depend on how much of an introvert one is. I'm an introvert to an extent but nobody would ever know it because I come off as extroverted.
So you're saying that depending on the level of his introversion, it is normal for him not to initiate?!



Yes it's levels to this introversion. It could be normal for him.

You said that you come off as extroverted. So do you take initiatives?

Yeah I take initiative but I have my introvert moments more so than my extroverted ones.

Okay if somebody in particular(preferably a girl who is your friend) initiating texts with you everyday and talks for 5-10 minutes max. Do you feel bothered? Like ever?

I hate talking on the phone. ๐Ÿ˜›
So how do people who stay faaaaar away from you communicate with you?


I'm more like a guy on the phone. Like "what do you want" and "get to the point" type lol. I really hate chitchatting. ๐Ÿ˜›

No chitchat at all? What if that person is calling just to hear your voice ๐Ÿ˜›

Me personally get bored of texting everyday, I would rather chill at some point. I wouldnt feel bothered though.

Do you guys prefer talking about your feelings? Like deep emotional stuffs that you usually don't spill out.

im an introvert but texting just doesn't work for me

coz i always tend to offend the other person

it takes forever for me to respond and i reply at very odd, weird times lol coz i probably fell asleep or be doing something

but i also don't initiate calls coz i don't know the right time to call, i don't wanna be a bother

so i wait for a call then it doesn't matter if im mumbling sleepily on the phone or whatever.. it's more personal to me this way
Okay you are somewhat similar to the guy I am talking about. And what if the other person is also thinking about not bothering you by calling you ๐Ÿ˜ข

i dont really like chatting on the phone. i prefer text. less invasive and i can respond at my leisure, if need be

i only talk to certain people on the phone, my mom, bff, and boss
Do you have such moments where you don't even feel like chatting with your bff ever?
i may FEEL like not chatting with her forever but it never lasts... im usually in a mood.

but i have definitely dipped in communication for months.

And do you prefer talking about your mood things with that bff of yours?

nah, i usually just hole up until the mood passes. unless she is the one that made me moody (which has happened before) but i usually just tell her instead of avoiding.

no need to burden someone else with my moody ass.

When she is the one who made you moody, what do you do and what do you expect her to do?

She tries too but I don't budge.

So you don't like to be asked about those things ever? Or do you prefer going with the flow and sharing bit by bit?

then we're both idiots ๐Ÿ˜†

ive been upfront about my nature when it comes to communication with my boyfriend

he used to be fond of sending me walls and walls of texts like they're love letters until he realized that id rather hear him breathing on the phone

im okay with pms from other people but if we're gonna get involved

we're gonna puke our feelings out with our real, actual voices

ask him if he's annoyed by your way of communicating with him

Well actually I have asked and he said he is not. And if he is ever annoyed he would tell me.

But still......... ๐Ÿ˜

yes of course. she called me out of the blue this morning. woke me up from a nightmare, actually.

if i am in a mood, i wont answer. she calls me often and vice versa. we talk on the phone a few times a week. if she didnt call me/ return my calls for like 2 weeks, best believe i'd be asking her why she hasnt called me lol

You wont answerโ€”!!! Do you give justifications for that within 24 hours or do you just call back when you feel like talking?

i dont feel like i have to justify my moods to anyone, unless it concerns them. moodiness is part of my everyday life. sometimes fleeting, sometimes an extended stay, sometimes full on depression.

i always make sure to stay on good terms with my friends so when i do dip out, they know it isnt them. the close friends understand.

i will call back when i feel like talking. again, i dont wanna put my moodiness on anyone if it isn't about them.

bff is a cap w/ cancer & aqua placements so, she gets me.

Well I guess I have to call him anytime soon out of the blue and see for myself.

I am the same way in a sense that I rarely do txt or calls. Just this year I was semi forced into getting a cell phone to call n txt, keep up w family.

I prefer face to face its more real & authentic w less misunderstandings to me, even, if it means they're likely to see & hear less of me. Im really independent & unclingy so neediness can be very annoying to me unless your imidiate family.

See you when I see you, is my motto in a non threating way.

My thing is a long distance thing. So meeting up is not really an option for us.
