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.

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.

ME

You are not alone

A friend of mine expresses it as "all peopled out". I totally agree with her.

Got back from visiting friends three weeks ago. Still hibernating.

NO! No, it's not just you! We use energy being stimulated. Then we need to recharge, and I don't know any way to shorten the time it takes very much. The right music can help me, when I remember. Any ideas? Extroverts are energized by being stimulated and want us to feel as well as they do.

I know I'm not along but as bad as I am at small talk I'm decent at normal socializing and like to go out but really enjoy my days alone.

Being extremely social is like running a marathon.

I’m not anti social. I’m pro me time.

One extremely social day would require at least a week of not seeing anyone I don't have to.

Everyone I meet says I'm an extrovert but the people that know me know I'm an introvert and need to recharge for a while.

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

Answer with: I was just about to get in the shower. That means 'yes I am' and 'you can't come over' at the same time!

the other 10% is getting out of someone else’s way

“You’re too quiet.” “Don’t really have anything to say.” “What’s wrong? You shouldn’t be this quiet, something must be wrong.” “SOMETIMES I JUST DON’T WANT TO TALK.”

My employeer is starting 5 mental health days a year in Jan. 2024, plus the other PTO and sick days we already have. It's a no questions asked kind of policy. Get your head right. Pretty cool of them.

Hey, I’m doing that right now, also watching YouTube

I learned in high school I have to have something distracting on in the background, music, tv, something. I need to keep that part of my brain busy so the other part can study. It’s like when you give a baby a toy while you’re changing them.

Me, when my coworker starts ask me questions about how to do something, and I haven’t even made it to my chair or put down my bag yet.

I have had such a bad day before that I made a bowl of warm beef stew...... I said down and {I sometimes have shakes in my hands} and I dropped it......I had a bad week, going to the hospital, and doctor app, I'm a really sick guy, and my husband wasn't home yet....When I dropped that stew I FLIPPING LOST IT, I stopped next to the bowl and started full-on blubber crying, like snot drilling drooling crying like a baby, and I did it for an hour till my husband got home and by then the dog had even eaten all the stew from the floor and I was still crying then i started laughing at him when he asked if I was ok, and I told him ".....Fi.......I DROPPED MY STEW" ....... ...... Im a 38-year-old man....

Adults are really, really tiring. So much drama.

And this, ladies, gentleman, and my non-bianary friends, is the day my parents found ✨ ONLINE ✨ SCHOOL ✨

That’s an unnecessarily negative way of saying your parents took proper care of your physical needs and the household as a whole, leaving you with sufficient mental bandwidth to read a lot.

home is where my a*s should be

Me too, Daniel, me too...

What is this glorious contraption and why is my house not filled with them?

Valid me from my freshman high school debate

I feel this, I usually overthink commenting here way too much because I’m way too afraid I might say something stupid or upset someone

Lol it was! I've gone that dark I don't care anymore

If there aren't dogs or any of my 4 friends, I'm not going.
