Having To Exhaust The Monosyllabic Tank
Introverts’ neural pathways for handling stimuli are longer. This implies that they have more difficulty processing social connections among people’s events. When introverts interact with you, they carefully consider their internal thoughts and feelings and attempt to analyze what you are saying to respond appropriately. As a result of their need to internalize everything that is happening, they may appear to be paying little attention to you.
But they’re just taking their time to weigh it against the various potential responses. So when they’ve thrown a couple of fake chuckles in the mix 10 dangs, 20 yups, and 20 damns, and people don’t stop talking, it gets frustrating and makes you want to leave. And they end up looking at you like you did something wrong. Not like you really can do anything about it.
