How can I bring my introverted boyfriend out of his shell?
@AskGayBrosOver30 forum on Reddit, he explained that his other half is introverted and stays quiet when they’re out with groups of his friends.The post was titled, “My BF is very passive and quiet among my friends and expects me to do all the talking.”“He isn’t shy; he is, however, a bit of an introvert, but it comes across as borderline rude,” explained the man. “When I get the opportunity to meet up with all of my friends, which isn’t often, I like to include him.
I’ve met a few of his friends and we get along well. It’s as though he’s not interested in giving mine a chance.”“I try to start conversations on things that I know he will enjoy because they all have a lot in common.
When I do that, he becomes frustrated with me later on or doesn’t engage as much. It bothers me since any outsider, such as my friends, it comes across as rude or stuck up.
It’s frustrating because he isn’t like that. He’s a genuinely great and funny guy but they don’t get to see that side of him.“One of my friends is doing a PhD in linguistics, she also teaching in the area.
