These guys only want to spend life in the comfort of their homes. That’s not too much to ask. Is it?

Introverts are, by nature, more inclined to enjoy spending time alone. These guys would choose to enjoy a quiet night at home over going to a club. They also spend a lot of time in their thoughts and are very self-aware. 

Although people often describe them as shy, there’s much more to being an introvert, and not all introverts are shy.

Introverts usually feel rejuvenated after spending time alone and exhausted after lengthy social interactions.

We get it, honestly. There’s nothing like staying indoors, curled under a blanket on a comfy couch. Meeting up with other people can also be a drag, as fun as it can be. Sometimes, it’s just better to read a book instead.  

Several people worldwide get this, too, as 30-50% of the world’s population is introverted. 

We found an AskReddit thread seeking to understand introverts better. OP’s question went like this, “Introverts of Reddit, what social interaction makes your "battery" down to 0% immediately?”

The post got as many as fifteen thousand comments, proving how common introverts are.
