Introverts Confess How Far They've Gone To Avoid People

Introversion can be rated on a scale of One, meaning if you have a few more conversations with random strangers you'll be a low level extrovert, to Ten for never going outside, or meeting another soul in person, again.

8. TellAPhony -- Shame? Wear this one with PRIDE. A great idea. 

I was having a "bad day" with being a introvert, so I used one of those Grocery Delivery services, and texted the driver saying wasn't home at the moment and to just leave the stuff on the porch.

When I heard her drive up I literally stood in my hallway where I couldn't be seen from any windows and listened carefully.

I heard her come up to the door, knock, knock again, drop the bags and drive off. She sent a text that she had dropped the stuff off and I should hurry because some of it is perishable. 

I opened the door and got my groceries.

That might be one of the lowest moments in my life. I still get pangs of shame whenever I think of it.

Now whether high level introvert or borderline chatty one thing is constant- introverts have a hard time talking to other humans, and they'll often go to great lengths to avoid small talk:

I moved to Japan because you don't have to make small talk with strangers ever.

Redditor tbfyhthavhituram asked the AskReddit community to talk about how far they've gone to avoid contact with another person, and some of their answers made me realize I'm not as introverted as I thought- because I love a study party:

14. logicbeans -- this is next level. 

My roommates decided to have a random study party, with like 20 people in our apartment that is only 800 sq feet. Because of the unexpected intrusion, I got into the router settings and throttled the internet to dial up era speeds. When my roommates were trying to figure out what was happening, I told them we simply had too many people splitting the bandwidth and in annoyance they all left for the library. Best eight hours of silence ever.
