Geez introverts use a lot of emoticons, also I don't even know half of the words that introverts apparently use so often.

naman
akong
lahat
wala
sakit

???

After a bunch of Googling they appear to be Tagalog words which is a native language of the Philippines.

Naman - again expression of gentle protest or denial; also; rather; really; too; likewise; //"Wala akong sakit" is far different than "Wala naman akong sakit." The reason is simple. The first is a mere declaration, the second is a declaration with implications.
Akong - I; me; I the; me to; me the; even me; me a; I be; am; I am; have; //"Ako" means 'I'; "ng" is affixed to imply the next word is related to "ako."
Lahat - all; altogether; collective; entire ; every; everyone; everything; general; public; total; whole;
Wala - absence; absent; gone; lack; lost; negation; no; none; not any; nothing; zero;
Sakit - abnegation; ache; agony; disease; feeling of pain; illness; pain; physical suffering; sick; sickness; to ache;

As someone from the Philippines, I believe that the meaning I highlighted are technically what the people who say them mean.

I'm also really surprised that there are a lot of Filipino introverts on social media.


Thanks! I knew there were some Filipinos here that could help out. I just used some random online translator for the words; which actually seems to be fairly accurate.

Does that make me an introvert? Because the stuff on the introvert side looks awesome XD the extroverts are really dull...

What is the intro/ex thing anyway? Is intro shy and exo social or something? :p

Introvert= likes solitude and is put off by most social situations

 

Extrovert= the exact opposite.  Congregates with many people and enjoys most social activites.

Those are Filipino slang! That means lots of Filipinos are introverts!

That's not slang. Plus, you're disregarding that a lot of Filipino introverts prefer to use English in conversing with other people. Then again, I regularly go to forums.

It's slang for me because my friends speak Taglish.

Ah, I see. Taglish is arguably the most natural "language" for us to use simply because it's easier to communicate ideas in Filipino, but it's also easier to use words found in English, though Filipino words are more powerful.

On-topic: I really have to see what their definition of introvert is. I also want to see the country-by-country breakdown of those who participated.

Damn looks like my dreams of an anime party are crushed or else I risk imploding the universe.

It appears that introverts are driven by intellectual and imaginative pursuits whereas extroverts seek sensation, physical experience, and are governed by emotional impulses.
