I don't know why but i Also hate having to make them, mostly to strange people, which is wierd because Im not introverted, i can be and i am shy, but if anything Im an extroverted person.

Can I partner with my invisible friend Twinkle?

Hello I am Nathaniel and merely saying this in front of everyone makes me want to curl up and cry.

If the party is at someone’s house, find out if they have a dog or cat, and spend your time with them instead of draining your social battery on a bunch of people who are probably already, or are well on the way to being, sloppy drunk, and highly gross and annoying, anyway.

Why are YOU being so annoying?

The knock on the door, the ring of the doorbell, unless you have pre announced your visit, I am not in.

No. Audience participation is Hell.

This!!! I hate this so much! I‘m always convinced this person will hate me.

Yes, you finally try to ninja your way to the fridge and one of them see you and alert the rest like a chimpanzee

No. I was never interested in being a cheerleader for my school, and still not interested in becoming one for the company. So f**k no. Besides, it’s all fake b******t anyway, like Potemkin Villages (just look it up) for corporate. F**k them.

Especially when you have earbuds/headphones in/on or are actively reading a book.

When anyone says this i just go back

We rent the basement from my in-laws and every Summer they invite the whole huge family. Guess who has to give up all of her space without any complaints if I don't want to lose the only affordable housing in my small expensive town?

If I have to be the focus of attention like that, I will start blushing. Then, I will think "people can see me blushing" and I will just get redder and redder until basically ALL of my blood is in my face. 🤬

Ok, so at my core, I am textbook introvert…except I like speaking in public. Still get nerves, but once I get going I like center stage. But immediately following, I don’t want anyone to approach me or talk to me. I go back to wallflower mode instantly. I do not understand this part of my personality.

I do a lot of teaching and presentations, and I've no problem speaking in public. That's because they aren't listening to me as an individual, they are concentrating on what I'm presenting. My worst nightmare is a dinner party with people I don't know-small talk is an art I don't have, but they would be interacting with me as an individual and there's no way to hide, you can't even take refuge in the kitchen if it's a dinner party. I hate them.

Nope.

Firefighter here. We have tours of our station during Fire Prevention Month. They used to have me speak. Until I got the nerve and told them exactly what I had in mind, how I felt being forced to speak, year after year of the Boy Scout asking, if our door is locked and other entrances are blocked, how are you going to save me? I did have something to say about that to the scouts and their parents of how asinine that sounds, and every year, the same group asks and I was hoping that the adults whoever is telling them this would grow up and give up that scenario. Needless to say I don't do any public speaking anymore. And also, the dept knows how severe my anxiety can be.

Not gonna happen.

University classes. Professors are sadists.

No. Just NO! 😱 I can do it when I'm prepared, although it's not a thing I like, but having to do it unexpected is my worst nightmare...

That would devastate me at school. I feel a bit better with that now, thanks to some self-confidence and abilities to improvise and elaborate that I have built up over time.

I have had to speak in small public places when I had to substitute for an old boss at some business group. I hated it and just wanted the ground to swallow me up.

I got over this with practice, now I am 100% confident.

I also have that isue, though its not the same lol, like i Said in a prévious coment Im not introverted Im just a bit shy, but once i get going the problem is shutting me up, however in that situation i just " mentaly delete " the people in front of me, and always start with a joke ( calms me down dunno why )

Some people get off on being a part of a big and boisterous crowd. I just get claustrophobic and want to get the f**k out of there. Especially if people have been drinking. Cannot stand sloppy drunks individually, totally despise them collectively as a crowd.

They should be banned. I have one coming up soon. ;-;

Yeah, I have that to look forward to tonight. When you ask them in the most serious tone you can muster not to have them sing for you, they will ALWAYS SNEAK OFF TO THE "BATHROOM" TO ASK THEM TO SING..I SAID NO FOR GODSAKE THAT MEANS NO!

When we get back home we need a 3-hour nap just to recuperate.

My college roommate and I bunked our beds. She took the bottom and put a curtain up around her space, and my top bunk was above eye level. Voilà, semi-privacy.

I have a problem associating names with faces, unless I spend a lot of time with people—-and even then, if I haven’t seen them in years, chances are good I don’t remember their names, or don’t want to anyway, if they were assholes to me. So situations like this are extremely awkward for me, and I usually try not to let them see me.

interviews are the worst! Having someone stare at you while you're having to "sell" yourself and your skills

Is this man squatting and drinking milk out of a bag with a straw???

You mean talking a lot of b******t and acting like you like people you actually can’t stand, just to get ahead.

I have agoraphobia, I never WANT to leave my house

If they’re natural and spontaneous they’re not a problem, especially if the conversation then flows organically. If they’re forced and fake, f**k no.

I’m glad my husband proposed to me in private. If he’d ever publicly put me on the spot like that, I would never have married him. Respect the other person’s sense of privacy and never put them in such an uncomfortable position, ever. If you can’t do that, you don’t deserve to be married, because marriage is based on trust. That includes trusting the other person to never make you uncomfortable or embarrass you, ESPECIALLY in public.

My spoons are depleted! Let me gooooooo!

Do that to me, and i'l be exiting the same door i entered 10 seconds later, i really really don't like surprise parties to me, or any other type of party for that matter.

Literally my worst nightmare. Been in a relationship for 27 years. But I will not ever ever EVER get married. Mostly for this reason.
