Today, I discovered how pathetically introverted I am when during a car ride with my family, I said, "I really like this song" and my parents gasped because they didn't realize I was in the back seat. And I'm their only child. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, while riding on the car with my family, I put on my headphones and pretended to be listening to music and when my parents talked to me, I pretended I couldn't hear them. They took this opportunity to discuss how fat I was and how I can't hold down a boyfriend. They were laughing as well. FML

Today, I was singing and drumming on the steering wheel in my car while stuck in traffic, only to realize the car next to me was full of my carpooling coworkers, all staring at me in disbelief. They spent the day at the office requesting songs. FML

Today, my teenage daughter came out into the living room and began belting out a song. When I cleared my throat, she screamed, turned beet red, and said, “I THOUGHT I WAS ALONE!” She’d been hiding all day, and to say I'm judging her would be an understatement. FML

Today, I tried to overcome my shyness by warmly greeting the bus driver while entering it. I instead blurted out really loudly the words of the song my iPod was playing. FML

I'm busy

Today, my Mom was gushing to a relative about going to see a very famous singer with my sister while we were at dinner. I smiled politely, until the relative asked why I wasn’t going. I felt too embarrassed to admit I hadn’t been asked, despite having the money, so I awkwardly made something up. FML

The Voice

Today, my roommate eavesdropped on me singing. When I realized he was there, he said I was "fucking incredible" and asked me to do another song. There's just one issue: I only sing well when I'm alone. The result was predictably bad. If it was possible to literally die of embarrassment, I wouldn't be writing this. FML

Today, I got caught singing '80s hair metal love ballads to myself in the car by the object of my affection. FML

Today, I was alone in the car with my crush. For reasons I will never understand, I put on the song 'Kiss a Girl' by Keith Urban. I could feel her cringing. FML

Today, I've finally accepted that my parents do not love me. They constantly do things that I hate, then casually remark to other people, "I think he's mad at me now." They also know my hearing is insanely hypersensitive, yet they're still obnoxiously loud for no apparent reason all the time. FML

Cool moves

Today, I was in my car and a cute guy pulled up next to me. He looked at me and smiled, but in order to be cool, I pretended not to notice. I also pretended that I was listening to music and was completely absorbed in it, singing passionately. I wasn't even listening to music and my window was down. FML

You're lucky they didn't pull into a walmart and go shopping for two hours while leaving you in the car.

That's happened to me. But I was walking down the hall with my friends. Teachers have counted me absent even when I was there.

That's happened to me before. When I was younger and my mom was driving me to school, she would forget I was in the back seat and start driving to work. Happened more than once.

When I was small and my mother took me shopping she frequently freaked out and though I'd run off somewhere.. only to find me hiding in her shadow.

That is hilarious, your parents must have over medicated themselves. Go find more friends and you will get rid of introvert personality

You can't "get rid" of intorversion, it's just a natural persuasion, and it's not even a particularly bad thing. In companies, the 3-5% most successful/highly paid are usually introverts, because we know how to be diplomatic, how to think before we speak, and how to keep quiet when it's necessary. OP just needs to be brought out of their shell a little, but that is not equivalent to becoming an extrovert. It's also not a personality trait as such, but an indication of how you process information and percieve the world.
