Extroverts are really fun people who always bring a lot of energy and excitement to everything they do, and people love having them around. For someone who is contrastingly an introvert or someone that is closed emotionally, it takes a lot of hard work to understand the things extroverts do.
Extroverts often do a whole lot of perplexing things that may or may not hold an answer for their behavior, and might even come across as weird and impossible to introverts.

That is why there are certain extroverted behaviors, that are straight-up annoying, weird, and honestly even stupid at times for introverts.
Let’s find out the extroverted behaviors that annoy introverts, and all the weird things extroverts do, from the perspective of an introvert.

6 Things Extroverts Do That’ll Never Make Sense To An Introvert
1. When extroverts think alone time is boring and sad.
This is one thing that grates on an introvert’s nerves. Alone time is like sweet nectar for introverts, and without it, they feel mentally drained and emotionally incomplete.
So, when an extrovert says that spending time alone is depressing and boring, it’s safe to say that introverts just don’t understand what they mean. Because extroverts cannot stay alone for even a minute, it’s depressing. Yeah, right.
Being surrounded by people all the damn time is nothing short of torture for an introvert, and they secretly rejoice when they get the house to themselves when their family leaves for a few hours.
Extroverts struggle a lot with solitude, and always need people around them to feel better, and that is something an introvert just doesn’t relate to at all.
2. When extroverts call instead of texting.
Now don’t get this wrong. Introverts don’t despise talking on the phone, but they do hate doing it all the time or at the drop of a hat. They like communicating with their family and friends for a few minutes, but talking on the phone for hours? No. Just no.
Introverts prefer texting, as that gives them a better opportunity to express themselves, open themselves up, and at the same time not indulge in small talk.
Extroverts on the other hand are always on the phone, and they will call you up wanting to talk about even the tiniest of things. Texting is something that not a lot of extroverts believe in doing. One of the things that are an introvert’s worst nightmare? An extrovert calling them up and talking for hours and hours and hours.
Safe to say, this is one of the many things introverts don’t understand about extroverts.
3. When extroverts follow the Open Door Policy.
This is one of those things that extroverts do that annoys an introvert to no end. Extroverts feel an intense need to share their feelings with people in large numbers. There is an open-door policy maintained both at home and outside of it.
Most extroverts are people-pleasing and believe that they need more and more people around them, to be truly happy and satisfied. Unless they talk about everything under the sun with everyone, they never truly feel happy and satiated.
Introverts on the other hand prefer to talk about their feelings and deep thoughts only with a select few, people who they fully trust. They are very protective about their feelings, and would never let just anyone have access to them.
That is why an introvert struggles to relate to an extrovert’s tendency to overshare which is clearly one of the weird things extroverts do, according to introverts.

4. When extroverts love being in the spotlight.
Extroverts love being in the limelight and being the center of attention. They have no trouble standing on a stage and speaking to a hundred or thousand people without feeling intimidated.
They can get along with anyone and everyone without needing to give a lot of effort. During a conversation, they are impatient to talk and give their two cents. And when introverts see this, they are like, what?
Introverts prefer staying behind the scenes and have a hard time dealing with attention. Public speaking is one of their worst nightmares, and they do not like talking to anyone and everyone, and would just prefer to talk to people they know very well, and feel comfortable with.
They are better listeners than speakers and would be perfectly comfortable not giving in their two cents during a conversation.
5. When extroverts turn into marathon talkers.
Contrary to popular belief, introverts do not despise talking to people, and there have been times when they have talked to someone for a very long time. But this is a rare occurrence, and most of the time introverts feel uncomfortable with marathon talking.
But extroverts are the exact opposite. They can talk till the cows come home, and not feel overwhelmed or drained even in the slightest bit.
Because introverts are minimalists when it comes to the gift of the gab, they never truly understand and relate to an extrovert’s need for endless talking.
When confronted with an extrovert and their marathon talking, introverts have a hard time navigating through the situation and sometimes even feel helpless and trapped, all the while counting the minutes to when the conversation will be over.
This is one of the biggest differences between extroverts and introverts.

6. When extroverts socialize just for the sake of it.
This is another one of those things that extroverts do, that introverts simply do not understand. Socializing just because you are bored? Socializing just because you are free? Wait, come again?
Don’t get it wrong, introverts like to socialize with their loved ones and close friends, but they never feel the need to socialize just because they have nothing to do.
Being alone and having free time opens up a world of possibilities and opportunities for introverts. Binging on that interesting documentary. Trying out a new recipe they found on Pinterest. Drowning themselves in a book. Ordering some food in, and catching up on the latest reruns of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. The opportunities are simply endless.
Now introverts don’t hate extroverts, it’s just because they are so different from each other, introverts have a tough time understanding why they do what they do. Introverts are unique in their own ways, and extroverts are beautiful in their own ways.
