the worst part about introvert memes isn't that they're atomizing, or self-defeating, or full of hate. it's that they're fucking boring
More like sad and pitful
This whole vid was full of hate. And unlike the memes, the hate is projected outwards
They’re not funny
Art that doesn’t challenge anyone really doesnt do anything unless you’re the person they’re validating
@@antongorov5275 you mean that thing extroverts don't have?
I love how Jreg drops any and all pretense of postmodern irony when it comes to introvert memes
nah his recreations of the memes are very funhny i think
no this is definetly somewhat ironic (I hope)
Theres some tate matrix posting in here
Most (not all) of these memes are self aware that these are flaws, so I assume jreg is being at least a little ironic here.
I'm guessing he should and maybe feels the need to be more sincere because the whole "cute cat/muppet" is deceptive.
It's like they try to convince others they're harmless, cute, or fun.
Or even themselves.
So on one hand I hope it's sincere.
But then again not having to take things sincerely is happier right now so eh.
actually jregory 🤓✌️, a covalent bond breaking won't cause an atomic explosion, it will result in free radicals, similar to how i'm radically alone and free of any happiness in life! 😂
I vote for your comment to be added to the next review
Actually that makes a lot more sense in the context of the metaphor since these people are deathly afraid of drama and would rather just uncouple instantaneously rather than explode with any kind of emotional reaction that could possibly lead to an outcome that doesn't end with being radically alone.
*By the way, free radicals are extremely reactive and will attempt to bond with anything and everything, causing damage and more free radicals just so they can have some stability. I hope you'll manage to find your "antioxidant" partner in life one day before you, uh, break some DNA strands or important proteins or something.*
*edit: Now that I think about it, would an antioxidant be a therapist? I'm not good with analogies.*

Good job.

The perfect JREG quote doesn't ex--
JREG: "They put all the weight of all the people they are missing-- Mentors, rivals, friends, community in general-- into one single person, one node in that network. Still atomized, but you just made a covalent bond, two atoms swirling around each other. The pressure that’s put on that bond will cause it to split and create an ATOMIC EXPLOSION."
Well covalent bond are one, pretty strong, and rarely cause an explosion.

Girl who clearly showed interest in me ignored me when I texted her and keeps sharing such memes, great time to be alive.
Maybe try to be for real with her and write her something like "Hey I felt like you were interested in me and maybe you are feeling anxious, that's okay. I would love for us to go on a date, maybe somewhere you feel particularly comfortable". Being ignored would be worst case I guess.
She has the brain rot too keep texting (dont be creepy ofc)

JREG never fails to make me edge uncontrollably.
so true
Good.
Thought this said edge uncomfortably which is kinda the same thing but weirder
isn't edging about control?
Oxymoron
honestly like 95% of people who say they're introverted are just people with social anxiety in denial
and 95% of people with social anxiety need to realize it's not their problem that other people suck
@@quinnm.3127 - since other people suck so much, why bother making a community with them?
@@WorthlessWinner sry not everyone, just the people making others THINK they're socially anxious because they just not very nice.

@@MortyJoe44 yup.

Im gonna isolate my self all weekend just to trigger you bro
Me too. Real corona hours, learned helplessness. Jreg has no idea what it's like over here.
I'm doing that too. That will sure show jreg who's boss!
gonna be serious for once, the last introvert memes video is one of my favorite ones that i rewatch a lot but this one makes me feel like shit, like i feel i've genuinely been trying for years but it keeps not working and i'm getting progressively more tired of trying to figure it out but i keep doing it, it's a constant cycle of self-defeat and impotence
i genuinely feel i shouldn't watch this one ever again cause i know the kinda things that trigger the self-harm reaction in my brain
yeah I dont feel like jreg's videos are good for introverts to watch. they make you all sad, make you feel like you need to live HIS ideal lifestyle to be happy. Basically guilt tripping you into reforming your life based on Jreg's ideals. Not to say you dont need friends, you definitely do, but Jreg's method of calling you a freak is not going to help
@@binbows2258 and dude, is it me or are his videos getting... less good overall?
I'm with OP, this one makes me want to grab Greg by the collar, tell him I've been trying for years but it doesn't get much easier, and that unless he plans to take the time to give me a step by step guide on how to become socially successful in excruciating detail, he needs to stop taking out his anger with his past self out on others. He's not as mature as he thinks he is.
It's nice to hear people take off the veil of irony and genuinely talk about what they think. And honestly, yeah, this vid was very hard to watch. It really felt like a takedown of lonely people as a whole. When he said "I don't hate introverts, I just hate millennials", all I thought was "Why should I care? Hate is hate, it's an unproductive emotion meant to tear us apart. Something that you supposedly try to fight against with your video"
Yeah, I love a lot of his stuff but I hard disagree with this one. And I'm saying this as a no longer depressed person who found friends.
It sounds like one of those people who are like "I got over my issues, why can't you? Just do [insert whatever I did]"
He's targeting the memers, not socially awkward people in general.
The memers he highlighted are unironically revelling in their own misery and making excuses to not try any more. JREG recognises that because he has been there.
No one says it isn't a struggle, he isn't calling you a loser, he's specifically shaming people who have given up on themselves to try and get them to get on that treadmill and fix their lives. Surrender is death, therefore it is not an option.
I hate how people use asocial and antisocial interchangeably, half of "introverted" people call themselves antisocial completely unaware of that they are calling themselves sociopaths or psychopaths.
they mean "asocial"... i tried to explain this to somone this and they got offended and blocked me -_-
@@quinnm.3127 yeah whenever I try to explain it to somebody, they think it's no big deal and just ignore it, but it's literally two entirely different words.... the prefix "anti" implies that one does something against something, how can people think it's just some stupid letters?
Give it up. The term has been successfully stolen just as the term introvert has been stolen and turned into a synonym for avoidant personality disorder.
You can claim that the definition of antisocial is your own pet term all you want, the definition of a word matches how people use it no matter what
Well in that case I deem it still accurate ^ ^
This felt personal to him
Clearly.
Me as well.
Three-for-three.
As someone pretty autistic I used to think like this and didn't notice it was cutting me off until high school ended and I lost my last close friend group. I then formed this sort of mutually atomized codependent relationship at the start of covid.
Since then we've broken up on mutually good terms, I've found a strong community (spending 9 hours with a rotating cast of friends in a game store every sunday, also my dnd group which isn't face to face but does scheme with me a lot), and having this network of friends has let me see career paths that fit my innate need to lift things and touch machines all day a lot better than trying to force myself through college.
This wasn't directly inspired by your videos but I think a lot of them (especially Frameworthless and What E-Celebrity Did To My Brain) helped me into more complex, useful frameworks which let me see my life more clearly.

How do you know if your soul is damaged, exactly? If your body is injured, you can see it bleed or work improperly. If your mind is injured, it affects the way you behave. What are the signs of an injured soul?
This is... sad. No like actually sad I'm kinda speechless tbh, because on one side I empathize and understand and relate to Js videos message and the subtext of it being venting and anger at himself, but it's also pretty... pathetic. I am like that too. That kinda sucks man
Jreg is angrily lecturing the camera, but really he's angry at his past self for failing and hurting others, and angry at the people who have hurt him through their failures.
He should, uh, not take that out on random Instagram thot memes
@@andyghkfilm2287let the thots suffer.
Maybe he should talk it out with his therapist, rather than filming it and putting it out into the Internet. Seems like a potentially more productive avenue for him to take.
You're dumb
@@HunterTracks A bit late here, but I usually like his funny content and nice stuff (man, the anprim jokes were fucking funny). He does have some points, but like...he's overreacting, at the very least here. Struggled a bit, wondered if I just wasn't "getting the true message" or whatever, but after some serious thought I just feel like he missed the mark here
I expected a funny video, but it actually just was Jreg venting. Not that I think he is wrong. Those memes weren't made by introverts, they were made by people who need help but are actively refusing it. One can be an introvert and also have a healthy lifestyle and meaningful relationships.
facts
Yeah a lot of these were less about introversion and more about isolation, not the same thing
I think he overreacted a little to some of them. Like, it's okay to cancel plans to stay in sometimes. And some people don't thrive in crowded spaces with a lot of people they don't know, me included. I agree you still gotta put yourself out there and try to connect to people, but not everyone needs that in the same way and to the same extent and that's fine too.
r/woosh the whole fucking point is that if you’re refusing social interaction because you’re an introvert you’re actively harming yourself. If you’re interacting socially with a variety of people in real life on a regular basis you’re not A FUCKING INTROVERT
No it's not OK when to refuse to go to activities you're refusing to live and the more you do it the harder it will get to Kickstart that engine and be able to live in a world that is not empty
It‘s really strange hearing this. I would tend to agree that finding community is worthwhile but I think these memes are mostly born out of the resignation of failing to find community. I think its great that Jreg found a community but I‘m not sure he sees that part of the issue is simply access to community. I know some would say create a community if there isn‘t one but that nessacitates either available time or money which tends to be problematic (probably easier for a popular youtuber / entertainer). Throw in some undiagnosed mental illnesses simply due to the horrendous state of health systems around the world and you have a recipe for disaster.
I hope confronting „introverts“ doesn‘t push them further into their often self inflicted isolation.

You don’t strike me as a happy well adjusted person
ikr hes so bitter and angry. Resentful, spiteful, even. I dont know what inflamed him to behave in such a manner. This is not how happy, well meaning people talk to people who need help
@@binbows2258I think he sees his past self in their memes and hates his old self and them… Or something along those lines, could be wrong lol
I think there’s a more nuanced way of criticising people wallowing (or revelling) in their own introversion (or people who joke about their problems)
@@binbows2258 I think he’s still upset but really wants to be ‘fixed’. Like how some people really WANT to be religious but never really find it in themselves to believe. Some part of Jreg still feels this way, when according to the worldview he’s built in his head having ‘community’ should make him okay, but it hasn’t. He can’t be sad, that’d mean he’s wrong, so it manifests as anger.
@@legateelizabeth I interpret it as a wake up call fueled by righteous anger, "look, these memes are what i was, i was angry then about the systems that destroyed the traditions of community when i was suffering, and now i continue to be angry on your behalf." This is a situations that demands appropriately directed anger to make any strides out of the pits of despair on your own; you must be angry enough to have the action potential to actually do something, and you must be angry in the right direction lest you dig your pit deeper
@kylesmith2145 yes! Anger is a natural feeling that is needed to protect and provoke change. He'll get past it, and he'll be different than he was, in a way that he needed to be.
This feels meanspirited now, leave me only Gregory.

@@accountrarysi2776 first the pearl video and now this?? We need to stop engaging with the same creator and genre of youtube videos while scrolling through comments.
Okay, gotta agree with many commenters here and say that this one is kinda a miss. There is plenty to criticize about the modern notion of introversion, but takedowns aren't the way to go. I have many issues with socializing, and all this video did was flare up my unproductive violent fantasies.
The worst part is, there is a genuine good idea here: "Being socially averse is actually one of the most common thing in modern society". But instead of expanding on it, on the structural problems underpinning it, as well as how this climate ends up encouraging loneliness even in normally sociable people (that's why it's often called a pandemic) the conclusion is just "Be more social, lol". When you take the irony hood off and start actually speaking your mind, you have to actually think about what you end up saying to the camera, what conclusions you're building towards
What did you fantasize about?
@@agaga5886(not the time. Focus on what he's saying.)
I think part of the issue is that a decent chunk of people seem to treat introversion vs extroversion as a strict binary. You can be an introvert and still go do stuff and get a sense of community. Nobody is forcing you to be the leading role, they just think it'd be nice if you were part of the cast so to speak.

@@notbon5432yes, but that doesn't matter
This is like Michael Jordan getting pissed off at me for not knowing how to hit a fade away jump shot.
I'm happy you've found a community. I haven't. I want one. I don't know how to get one. I've been looking for literal years. I put myself out there and I think I'm doing things right, but nothing sticks.
A literal "how I made my community" video might be helpful for people like me, especially if you didn't leverage your following when you created it so I can learn from it. Because whatever "how to make friends" lesson people learned in school, I must've been out sick that day
It's good if you are trying to find a community, but most of these memes that he is looking at are about rejecting people and avoiding opportunities where one can possibly find meaningful relationships or communities. I can't tell you how to make friends, but putting yourself in many different (potentially awkward) situations will increase your chance of finding someone that you like and/or relate to.
Yeah, you're missing the point of the video, dude. And I'm guessing if you missed the point of the video so badly then you're probably not "trying to put yourself out there" as well as you think you are.
@@oskardahle2478 lmao I dunno, reacting to the meme about “do you wanna just stay in tonight” with “you are putting EVERYONE you could meet at this event on this ONE person, that’s going to BLOW UP like a nuke” is kind of extreme
@@freniisammii no, I think he’s actually getting the point of the video better than even Jreg is. He’s right, this video is basically Jreg punching down at literally people he calls “losers” at one point, because they consider themselves introverts or have social issues.
@@andyghkfilm2287 ^correct, and you are welcomed back into the brotherhood.
Welcome, fellow Andrew.
I think what truly upsets people like Jreg when they see introverts is that they both idolize community. These introverts fail to be part of community, recognize that failure, and then use the label of introvert as an excuse, like they don't care about being social, while caring immensely. They claim to desire the hermit lifestyle, but would immediately reject it when given the opportunity to actually be alone. Jreg is upset by this, because he sees a failed version of himself in them, since he too greatly values community.
I wonder, would a true hermit, someone who genuinely does not care for being social, upset him too?
Jreg is a failed version of himself, he is not happy.
Jreg believes people who actually want to be alone don't exist, he thinks it's all cope. The irony, of course, is that belief is cope so he can feel like his problems are more normal and common than they are.
Oh i bet jreg is the exact interpretation that you made up of him in your mind, you might even say that you know him like a friend, you know, because we all do!

OK, Is this dude that's older than me trying to convince me that highschool level drama between "grown" women and man is that important?
@@sithdude2436It is literally cope though in the vast majority of cases. It's just human nature to want relationships lolmao. Wanting the opposite is literally a personality disorder (schizoid)
Ive stopped letting myself say no and/or cancel plans with friends at the last minute because I would rather stay home and watch youtube by myself in a dark room... I've realized that even if in the moment, my social anxiety is begging me to avoid it, once I get there and actually get into the moment of having friends and being outside that anxious sheds off and I have a great time 9 times out of 10. My friends even managed to drag my ass down to a club, something I was convinced for years I would desperately hate even though I never tried, and it was 1000x more fun than I expected??
Lucky you. I don't have any clubs in my bumfuck Podunk town.
Wow JREG you really showed those introverts who's boss! (*Crying on the inside.*)
Thanks Jreg for reinforncing my fear that it's too late for me and I'm destined to be alone and miserable for the rest of my life because I didn't properly socialize in my youth!
Me and my therapist were starting to take little steps in convincing me that my future despair is not unchangeable fact, and that I can indeed be happy, but now that I've seen this video my preexisting bias has been reinforced once more and I am now taking several steps back on the road I was on!
I realize that this comment is ironic, but I don't see how this video can be seen as hopeless. It feels more like a wakeup call to try to act social despite of your maybe subpar social skills.
@@oskardahle2478He literally says in the video, word for word, that if you don't socialize until a certain period in your life you're doomed to be eternally incapable of connecting to other people.

Hey. Leave the hypocritical woobie alone.
I actually went back to being more introverted after making a couple of friends. It's honestly just exhausting and high maintenance, and I oftentimes like spending time alone more. My prediction for the foreseeable future is a kind of oscillation between the two extremes
Its exactly this for me. When I have no friends, I want friends. When I have friends, I want to be alone. The only solution, I think, is to find most of your inner peace with one of the 2 circumstances while lightly oscillating between the two.
@binbows2258 agreed, but I have also found that having one or two good friends and otherwise acquaintances you can do stuff with is a somewhat nice balance

JREG…this video literally convinced me to reach out to almost every single person I knew and check on them, and my god, I’m glad I did. This means more than you’ll ever realize. Cheers to this puzzle of a life

getitng roasted for 9 minutes realy opened my eyes that i have a problem... And I thnik I will stop making excuses and do something about it! Thank you JREG :)
Knowing Jreg's audience, I don't even know if this comment is ironic or genuine.
@@fifimhehim9200 Worry not, my progress is genuine
@@fifimhehim9200 it might be genuinely ironic
Unless, ironically, it *is* genuine
jreg is not the same anymore
And we bless his commie soul for it.
Jreg, I'm really glad you made this. This video honestly helped me see the problems I let boil up inside of me. My parents didn't care for me emotionally or even do that good of a job protecting me as a child, and they often enabled bad behaviours like gaming, so I can't say the mess I'm in is completely my fault. What I can say though, is thank you, because I'm finally able to make the steps to move on from my child abuse and neglect
Based, and my parents are still _stunned_ at how *nasty* their golden child, raised in relative isolation, can be.
I revile them.
This video is some of the most irresponsible shit that Greg has ever done online. It's a new level of post-irony!
I love it so much.

beautiful commentary on how social media divides us more and more everyday. You really showed em who's boss greg
#not_it
These mfs seriously have friends but don't do anything with them, meanwhile my goofy ass still doesn't know how to get IRL friends.
get a job or go at uni events cause i bet my ass you're either in education or sitting at home if u say you have literally zero friends.
REAL. Hope you find some friends.
I face this problem as well.
I don't know how to fix my social problems, but the solution to yours is probably HOI4 centered.
I figured this one out, you have to turn up to a place frequently and talk to the people there, eventually some of them become your friends
@@YehudiNimol If he touches HOI4, he's not touching anything else.
"this is child abuse" bruh what 😅
'inner child abuse.'
@@normanclatcher...yup, they stopped reading.
Goo job Jregular, you really showed those introverts how they cope and justify their miserable lives 😂
Someones probably made clear to his friends that his emotional state is dependent on them and now they are telling him they are busy. The overanalyzing and judging memes people probably didn't put that much thought into without any of the sarcasm he calls irony seems like an attempt at being passive aggressive. Good one Jreg, you really showed them!
Loving your revolutionary optimism
Ironically, most of the people who make and share these are at a pretty comfortable place socially. Indulging in this stuff from time to time is totally normal for most well-adjusted people. The fact that jreg feels the need to respond so aggressively to this clearly light-hearted humor, actually indicates that he is the one with a problem
felt the same way This sadly just seems like self hatred for his own past mistakes or something? Some mayor projecting.
I hate to say this jreg, but I would consider how much of your “community” is actually just your orbiters - and consider the more common issue of trying to ladder your way into a community while lacking popularity or social security rather than already being the core of it
maybe it’s energy or a genuine social deficiency but people can genuinely be very snide and exclusionary
@@hannie-byt3 agreed
@@hannie-byt3 myself included.
you talking about his irl or online community?
If anything, orbiters make the friend group far less genuine, so he'd have a harder time, not an easier time, making real connections. He still advocates for making these connections because they are just simply good for you
3:53 My family was abusive and controlling and because of I know suffer from major depressive disorder and anxiety, but yeah I guess I'm just a for that. My uncle tried to groom me, and he would ask me about my life in ways that were intrusive and that caused me a great deal of stress, but again, I guess I'm just a loser. Thank you.
You do sound like a loser
But maybe you should focus on the positive aspects of your life, and the many opportunities you have? Perhaps wallowing in negativity and sadness will only permeate more sadness? Just a thought🤔. Your language is all messed up. Saying you “suffer” from depressive disorder and anxiety essentially removes any your your own personal responsibility, in doing so removing the chance for any improvement. You posted this comment because you were looking for sympathy but I will not give that to you. Not because I’m a troll or something but because I seriously doubt whether the current mental disposition you appear to posses is beneficial for your long term well being. ❤
There'a something so deeply refreshing about Jreg, someone that I relate to, calling the sassy introvert narcicism fucking evil.

I think the problem here is that these memes and jreg make having friends and being social out to be a huge deal when in reality you need to introspect on what you actually need to do with your life and what would improve it. Personally, I believe meeting friends in person rather than online would be great for myself
I don't really know what I need. I've changed a lot since my younger years
There's a difference between society convincing you to feel like you need it and actually needing it. Like sex and virginity. Some people just do not need a romantic relationship. But I think jreg is right about not convincing yourself you don't need it. I've convinced myself I don't need a romantic relationship. I probably don't, but I should still reassess it. Oh it'd be easier not having a relationship where I dont have to worry about anything but that's not an excuse m.
Ok, I get that "introverts" are often self defeating, but it feels like bullying here, like there is a visceral hatred.
Cry about it
Good
Cope and seethe
lol jreg clearly loves people, he's not saying dont feel feelings, hes saying dont let it control the rest of your life.
I'm in a situation kinda similar to jReg's "was isolated, now has community" thing, and I can tell you rn the frustration comes from a place of empathy. You see people doing the same unhealthy, life-crippling stuff you did (and often WORSE stuff), which already feels bad because you understand what they're going through because that used to be YOU, but then instead of trying to improve, they just cope with shit like this, often pretending they're better than others for having these issues.

Having multiple contacts? Joining a community? Fuck yeah. Partying and shit? Fuck no. Only small groups, just, multiple ones, large groups are loid and no one hears one another, people clash, shit goes bad and quickly you're more alone than in small groups, in small groups, everyone gets to know eachother and those that can't get along, don't have to, pick and choose, manage and optimize, because you can go see Dune with 40 people 1 time and barelly understand the story and barelly can say anything about it, or go see Dune with 5 people 8 times and get 40 different understanding of it while yourself having spotted all the details. And sometimes what you really need is to just take a break, just sleep, breath, do nothing, the next day is booked, can't enjoy it if you're shit faced. Doing 3000 things at 1% isn't the goal, do 1 thing at 3000% instead.
Same conclusion I came to, you just don't resonate with some people and that's OK. Like if I am at a point I have to force a similar interest with some people, are those bonds even real then?
Jreg Is now community pilling us.
I renounce his medicine.

Love you Jreg, but the assumption that I would ever willingly step foot into the province of Quebec was so insulting I had to unsubscribe

I dont really buy the idea that the problems you get with community are better problems than the problems you get when atomized as a universal statement.
When the community around you labels you fundamentally undesirable and any attempt to enter it is met with abuse, is that a better problem than solitude?
When a community adopts and enforces norms unacceptable to you, is it your moral failing for not sanding yourself down to conform?
Ideally, you'd find a better community, and maybe it's easier to find something like that online. But since you're cynical about online communities, I don't think you'd accept that as a solution.
Communities are good, and more people should have friend groups. But I think making a policy of mocking people for being isolated is going to lead to unacceptable edge cases, and advocating for wider reforms is a better answer.
This comment reads like you watched the first 30 seconds of this video, decided you were going to disagree with the entire thing, and the proceeded to make things up to convince yourself of your own randomly assigned position as if this is some type of deranged debate club.
I hope you feel better soon.
@@Waawaaweewaa_ where did I make anything up? These are observations I have of the man's recent output. The mantra he's repeated in several videos at this point is "the problems you get from community are better problems", which he repeats here, and I'm rebutting that.
Hope you feel better soon, too.
@@Waawaaweewaa_he’s replying to a point jreg made toward the end of the video so you’re completely wrong. Maybe learn to engage with a point instead of projecting and jumping to insults and assumptions.
@inanefool8781 I think you hit the nail on the head. He is speaking from a place of privilege where he is able to join a community easily without having to worry about the fear of being rejected. He even makes fun of autistic people if this video -- people who are rejected for not fitting in despite their best efforts. For some people, solitude is preferable to the pain of rejection.
@@a.m.3023the pain will follow you.
I know a lot of people are talking about how just genuinely negative this is for no reason, but you hear the song at the end too? This was so uncomfortable to watch and came across pathetic - even still I'm questioning if it was somehow ironic.
As viewers of JREG you have to remember this man is mentally ill. This sounded to me like someone legitimately radicalised and trying to cope into it. Being community obsessed is not a way to make healthy communities. I hate to say this but the way in which this video was presented, and I believe the way JREG spoke, reminded me of twomad after he went off the deep end.
JReg is taking the loss of Twomad personally.
"You're like a rat"
Achstually rats are super social animals who rely on relationships to survive. This is both in the wild and as pets, where they'll form bonds with their human caretakers and also fare better if they have other rats with them. A more apt comparison to an introvert would be a hamster. Those fucks will bite you if you remind them anything outside themselves exists.
Wow, thank you Jreg. I'll just Google "how to stop people I love from leaving me"
At least introvert memes are made by people who are trying to socialize, albeit in a less direct way than actual face to face communication. Expressing humor to the internet and watching people interact with it at least resembles human interaction, these people would be way worse off if they were so consciously committed to the introvert label that they didn't want to make memes at all.
also tbh I feel like a ton of the people making these memes are actually socially well adjusted and just wear labels for fun. Not saying atomized individuals with terrible mental states because of their introversion don't exist, but I feel like people that are genuinely hurt by their introversion to an extreme degree are not very common, while introvert memes are SUPER common.
@@brindinho7645 yeah this video’s really weird tbh lol
@@brindinho7645 As someone who was/is genuinely hurt by his own introversion (not really introversion, more like social anxiety + other stuff) I feel like introverted memes trivialize a mentality that has caused a lot suffering to me. I think that's why JREG views these memes with resentment and hate.
@@agaga5886this one.
Glad Jreg has made a glorious return
This new JREG arc is using a privileged position to bully people with incompetencies, while bathing self righteousness. This is probably the most mentally ill path that this channel could've taken, so in a way I respect that.
Yee. 😊
i think this is about people who purposely don't try, and keep talking about how they aren't trying as if it's some quirk -- not about people with social anxiety. i've been both of those things at different times, witnessed it in other people many times, and it's different.

I always took these introvert memes with some irony to them and while watching this video I started to wonder if JREG just does not get that part, but then I remembered he is JReg and started to wonder if the memes were ironic to begin with, THEN I STARTED TO WONDER IF THIS IS ALL PART OF THIS VIDEOS IRONY AND I AM SIMPLY NOT IN ON THE JOKE LIKE THE OTHERS.
