Nowadays, being an extrovert seems to be something desirable, especially when many people are increasingly becoming withdrawn into their mobile phones and laptops. You might look admiringly at your extrovert friend, but they too have problems that you will never understand.
The opposite sex
Because of their outgoing nature and ability to talk about everything under the sun, what is platonic chat to them might be seen as flirting to the opposite sex; which may be good or bad.
Weekends
Extroverts are always excited about weekends, because it’s the time you go out to town to party. Except most of their less outgoing friends want to sleep all that work fatigue away.
Over-planning
On the other hand, their overenthusiasm about weekends often result in them having too many appointments, which they have to embarrassingly pull out of using one excuse or another.
Getting animated
They can’t help but talk with their hands; it isn’t enough just to talk with your mouth. And this often draws unwanted attention in a crowded restaurant or MRT train.
Shooting your mouth off
Because they’re so enthusiastic about everything, extroverts often accidentally blurt their thoughts out before they think about it; which either ends up being really funny or insulting.
Social responsibility
Since you’re almost always the centre of attention or the life of the party, people expect you to keep them entertained or lead them on; and it becomes somewhat of a burden because of the weight of expectation.
Stereotypes
Most extroverts aren’t associated with intelligence, so people automatically assume you’re an empty vessel, since they make the most noise.
Stereotypes continued
And if you’re actually really intelligent, they think you’re a show-off because you keep coming up with the correct answers. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
