Amen

hear, hear!

I'd like to see and article titled something like "Hey Extroverts, leave the introverts alone!"

MAKE IT HIGHER ON THE LIST. NOT JUST THIS LIST. EVERY LIST

I thought everyone did this.... but, yes, I do have GAD; I just didn't think this was a sign of it.

Add IBS to the pile. Me: Already ready, prepared, ready to go 30 minutes before leaving time My bowels, 2 minutes before leaving time: Yo. Toilet, now.

Yes! I'm currently stressing about informal plans that i have 4 days from now.

Me: leaves home an hour before I need to just in case and sits in my car reading when I get there wa-a-ay too early.

I function in fifteen minute periods even if the thing doesn't take fifteen minutes. Like 15 to wake up, 15 for breakfast, 15 to dress and wash, 15 to walk to the bus stop...

And the relief when they haven't shown up at 14:01 so you can leave

Overthinking things as usual.

Oh, definitely this.

I do that.

tbh that's just being considerate. If I'm planing to meet someone I'll plan my day to that rather than risk being late

I thought everyone did this. I'm being serious. 😮

I think it’s an accurate logistical calculation. This is why I don’t like meeting up w/ people. I love when I have unplanned encounters, and it’s productive & rewarding, So much of meeting up w/ people is getting ready, then heading back & winding down—it’s often incongruent to the reward/merits of the meeting.

That's me at any appointment! Except for the very early bedtime, I'm an evening person, usually I don't go to bed before midnight

The pandemic really turned me into more of an introvert and I really like my solitude. Here is what I do daily. . I have 4 cats inside and 4 I feed outside. Costs a small fortune to feed that many cats and iall those cats keep me from traveling:.A little housework, cleanup somewhat because someone will be coming to clean. I know opposite of introvert. Bad back. Makes help necessary. I am retired and an old lady. All fits together.

My thinking to a tee.

My therapist says I have social anxiety. My dad says he had social anxiety. My dad also says “Stop being shy, you’re not a baby.” :)

tbh thats just being considerate? if I plan to meet someone I'll adjust my day to make sure I meet them on time rather than risk being late

I'm very, extremely chaotic. Cleaning and tidying the house is rocket science to me, because of my ADD. But I'm almost always in time because of this routine. That's one thing I can control this way.

TIL...This is why I don't make plans 😳

Will I be able to find the toilet, will I have the nerve to ask where it is, will I be able to open the door.

I'd probably leave at 12:30 myself. I have a horrible habit of being at least an hour early.

Yep, especially if it involves meeting new people. Yuck.

That is 100% okay! I put my son to bed then lay in his bed for a while because his dad talks so much! I do not always have the stamina.

I'd have 96 more friends than I have now.

I felt that

If it's after work and I have my sweats on already, I'm not going out shopping at Target honey, you have fun by yourself. Get me a Snickers.

This has nothing to do with introverts but is 100% accurate! WHY?

My brain requires 5-7 business days to adjust to the experience of waking up (7-10 days if I was in a dream)

thank you, I like to be hydrated in the suffering of daily life

Na, I don’t wanna go to your party, I’d much rather hang in my den, playing apex and cuddling with my cats.

Yes

That's why you eat in your car.

I have done that as well

At least something other than my dog is proud of me.

Yes. Introverted isn't necessarily shy. I may just happen to not care about your cousin's friend's coming out. And I may just happen to enjoy silence.

Aye, but replace the first day with an hour and the next day with a month.

My second language. Sharing (memes) is caring.

I require one month's notice for any event, at minimum.

I am a side character in my own life

Don't make promises you won't keep!

Oh lol I thought it was all good until I read six meals a day. It’s actually three with major snackcidents

I like to hang out with my plants, it's better than socialising 🤷‍♂️

You have friends?

I do this so much! I’ll literally just sit and stare off into nothingness for a while
