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:

3. bellow_whale -- this person is living the dream. 

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.

Jerk Moves For Winning Board Games

I love playing board games with my nerdy friends by I can't stand it when they become overly competitive because that takes all the fun out of it for me- plus those bastards always cheat.

These Type A gamers need to be put in their place, which is where these Dick Moves For Winning Board Games by Nick Douglas of Lifehacker come in handy.

Want to crush your buddies while playing Settlers Of Catan?

Block a road in the middle

You can chop up another player’s road with a settlement, breaking it into two smaller roads and potentially making it ineligible for the “longest road” bonus. Even though this is covered in the rules, players regularly ask about it on the /r/catan subreddit.

Make the robber count

If you can, use the robber against the player to your right. If you hit a hex that only they benefit from, the robber will sit there all round. When their turn finally comes, if they get revenge, you’ll be able to respond immediately.

If Risk is more your speed then here are a few tips to help you conquer the world:

Feint toward an ally

Don’t immediately build up forces on the border that faces your next target. First build up near someone you could intimidate, but don’t actually want to invade. Then cut a deal with them, and move your armies over to ambush your actual enemy. If you play this right, you’ll be two steps ahead: Your enemy won’t be ready for you, and your new ally will owe you something just for doing what you secretly planned to do already.

Hand over Australia

Australia is the easiest continent to take over in the early game, but it’s very hard to expand from, and its bonus is pitiful. If you can grab a bit of Australia early on, and pretend you care about it, you can “give it away” in exchange for something more valuable. Be careful: This takes some careful negotiation, and other experienced players won’t fall for it.

The Adorable Squid Boy

Due to the commercialization of geek culture way more boys and girls wore Cthulhu costumes for Halloween this year than ever before, a trend which may result in the end of the world as we know it.

For it seems the fools who created the costume clearly don't realize that dressing kids up like Cthulhu is the fastest way to awaken the Great Old One from his slumber- because Cthulhu doesn't like puny humans impersonating him.

So take a note from this Dork Tower comic by John Kovalic and dust off that pirate costume so Cthulhu doesn't devour us all!

Your Soul Is Mine - Is Your Head Half Empty Or Half Full?


Your soul is mine by The Grilled Bacon

Whether your cup feels like it's half full or half empty it's still better than said cup being filled with your soul, especially when the Devil is sipping out of your soul cup until you have no lives left! The best thing to do is avoid making a deal with the Devil at all costs, so you don't end up owing him anything. And as your life unfolds level by level, and you shoot down every obstacle that stands in your way, you'll find that actually playing through it all is way more rewarding than cheating by asking the Devil for a favor!

Zombie Cassette Tape - Back From The Dead To Get This Party Started


Zombie Cassette Tape by Design Fury

A Hipster was walking down the sidewalk one fine day when he noticed a cassette tape in the bushes, so he went in for a closer look hoping to add another piece to his ironic collection. The tape had the word "Zombie" written on its label and appeared to be a homemade mix tape, so the Hipster picked it up, brushed it off and shoved it in his pocket. When he got home he popped it into his tape deck to give it a listen. The mix sounded like nothing but unintelligible speech, moans, groans and the sound of someone chewing, to which he replied "Oh, how avant garde!" before tossing it on the shelf with the rest of his ironic cassettes. That night the Hipster was awakened by the sound of breaking plastic coming from his living room, and to his horror he discovered the sound was coming from his tape shelf, where the Zombie Mix was busy tearing a cassette to pieces and devouring their delicious tape filling...

Celebrate the old school making a comeback with this Zombie Cassette Tape t-shirt by Design Fury, it's a great way to resurrect your individual sense of style.

Friends Don't Lie - Stronger Together


Friends Don't Lie by Dungeon Crate 

When a group of friends has been through as much as those D&D lovin' kids from Hawkins have they tend to develop a really tight bond, one that can be broken by neither secret military organization nor demonic creature from another dimension.

Lies cut through the bond between friends like a knife through rope, and if these fearless and intrepid kids are going to survive an encounter with those vicious visitors from the Upside Down they're going to have to cut the BS and learn to stay true to each other...

Watch This Guy Ruin His Friends' Instagram Food Photos

It's a bit silly to take pictures of every meal you eat unless you run a food blog or you're a chef looking to give other chefs props on social media, but most who post a pic of every meal just can't help themselves.

So their good friend Kevin Freshwater has volunteered to help them break the cycle of social media addiction and overposting, and as they set up to shoot a pic he reaches out to help- by messing up their pretty plate. (NSFW language)

A Peek At Norway's New Underwater Restaurant

Dining in an underwater restaurant used to be something only characters in movies could do, but nowadays there are underwater establishments in Florida, Dubai and the Maldives when you're feeling like dining with the fishes.

And in 2019 you can add Båly, Norway to that list of destinations by visiting the newest and coolest looking underwater restaurant Under, which was designed by Norwegian architecture firm Snohetta.

Under has the windows that let diners stare at fish while they eat a fish fillet, but the best part about Under is that sunken ship feel missing from those other underwater establishments:

“It should be an exciting experience, but people should also feel secure and well sitting down there," Rune Grasdal, the project’s lead architect, told CNN.

With an emphasis on local cuisine, the restaurant will accommodate up to 100 people. A huge panoramic window will provide views of the seabed and abundant marine life. 

Guests will descend three levels through a submerged wardrobe area, a champagne bar and then finally the restaurant itself. The name, Under, is a play on words - in Norwegian, "under" can also mean “wonder”.

RBG - She's The Future Of Feminism


RBG by Kellabell9

Ruth Bader Ginsburg she's our woman, if she can't do it nobody can! Isn't it sad that strong, powerful and historically important women don't have their own fan clubs? We should be celebrating all the good they've done for our world and praising their efforts to make women equal to men in modern society. Thanks to women like RBG young girls now know they can do anything a man can do, and once the amount of men and women in positions of power are evenly split the world is sure to be a more peaceful and prosperous place to live. The patriarchy seeks to destroy and rule as despots, so maybe it's about time to let the matriarchy call the shots!

Show some love for your favorite powerful female with this RBG t-shirt by Kellabell9, it's a great way to show the world that the future is female and may help you start your own RBG fan club!
