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.

My second language. Sharing (memes) is caring.

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

And then there's a phone call this morning that the horse I adopted could arrive tomorrow instead of end of the month if I am okay with that ... we introverts can change plans immediately, but only in important cases like these.

I had this conversation yesterday and my BF asked me why I have to prepare mentally for everything.

I may cancel up to one minute before we were supposed to meet. Something came up. No, I can't tell you what came up. I have to go now. No, I won't tell you later what came up. Stop saying words to me.

Not just mentally, but we have life, and need to do other things, not just hop when someone requests.

I was just diagnosed with Autism professionally. Lots of these memes are traits of ASD, thus I relate to most of these. I'm not saying that if you feel this, you are autistic, but plans/routines are usually very important to people who have ASD.

I don't mind my friends hitting me up randomly to grab a drink and/or dinner after work but once I'm home I'M HOME. I need a headsup for most other times. When we'd head out for a show my old bandmates would tell me to meet me at their place at a certain but we wouldn't actually leave until hours later. IT DROVE ME INSANE. The reason we should have left at the time we said was to avoid rush hour and so we don't arrive at midnight. And dont get me started whenever I'd ask what're we doing, what time, where're we staying etc. and they's say "we'll figure it out when we get there." ARGH

I don’t like spontaneous plans with new people, but with my inner circle of fellow introverts/havers-of-anxiety, I will happily make plans with them at the drop of a hat because we all understand each other’s quirks

Absolutely! Hate spontaneity. Hate surprises!

I don’t like spontaneous events but i also don’t like planning in advance

This should be WAY higher!

Spontaneous phone calls are a huge NO

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
