A common misconception about introverts is that they don’t like people.
Really, being introverted just means you’re more easily drained by interpersonal interactions and value time to yourself to recharge.

There are tons of people who go to great lengths to avoid others, and here are 16 of their awkward and hilarious stories.

2. “If someone is browsing a section of a shelf at a grocery where I need something from, I pretend to look at other stuff until they go away.I swear though today I think I was waiting for someone to leave the canned soup section while they were waiting for me to leave the salsa section diagonally behind them.” – livelaughloaft
3. “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.
