I'm freaking tired but i cant seem to sleep.
Anyway last night i was in the unfortunate situation of being the 1 male amongst 6 females.
What a boring night it was.
Thinking back the way in which the conversational flow went was kind of interesting.
This group consisted of 2 female introverts, me a male introvert, 3 dominating extroverts and 1 non dominating extrovert (doesnt need to be centre of attention)
Firstly 2 dominating extroverts removed themselves from conversation, 1 of them was out of her comfort zone (not really part of our group) so she didnt want to compete and the other was jet lagged so instead of them sitting in and taking passive roles they decided to remove themselves from the situation (look at holiday photos) for most of the night.
This was kind of good because it allowed for some introvert conversation but just shows you how much dominant extroverts suck.
I've noticed in the past that 2 dominating extroverts in any group larger than 3 completely kill any introvert. I find when there are 3 people they allow the 3rd person to have input but as the group gets larger they just fight for attention.
Early in the night with 3 introverts vs 1 dom and 1 non dom extroverts the introverts would get a decent amount of chat in, this is because you get conversations splitting up instead of group discussions, which is good!!
This didnt last as there was no stimulus and the introverts gave up, I tried my best turning the tv on but there was nothing interesting on only the hulk, which sucks (damn you foxteless bitches).
I find if there is a stimulus for the introverts then they will keep conversing in smallish groups but last night there was none and the dominating extrovert controlled the conversation after a couple of hours.
Unfortunately that meant a conversation about hot guys and a bombardment of personal questions as this dominating extrovert had free reign for most of the night (gave me the shits).
In the future I'll have to be more prepared or have the balls to leave earlier.

Just make up some excuse about having to get up early the next day.
Extroverts are ok in small doses. I prefer introverts any day purely for the reason that the best conversations I've ever had have been with small groups of people who are respectful of other people and have interesting drama-less things to say.
they all know me so they know i dont have anything on
extroverts are ok when they know the boundaries
