"When people think you are dying, they really really listen ... instead of just waiting for their turn to speak" - Fight Club

I work at customer service (retail)n on the weekends, this is how i feel on monday, just in time to start my full-time job. viscous cycle!

So THAT totally explains all the cave paintings!!! ;)

They disappeared or, worse, you forgot to check your mobile phone and find out you didn't read the message they sent you to let you know they weren't going :-P

This is why I love Morrissey/The Smiths music.

Ninja turtles had shells, and they were bad a*s so ...

The best thing ever :D.

That's why we have phones :)

Step four: Still suffer the consequences by having a mental breakdown

Well... "I'm in a bad mood because I'm exhausted from socializing because I'm introvert and that's how it works" is polite.

They never stick to the script.. never!

This is probably the biggest one for me. I hate making phone calls specifically if its to people I don't know, or don't have a close relationship with, and even then its not always easy.

Repeat 30x

Coming on a bit too strong.

Or, I was...

You'll be amazing math partners. Keep him close but not that much. On the chair right next to you is close enough. Just make him occupy the space so nobody else, like an extrovert, can sit there.

lol. Sooo me!

Who cares about the wi-fi? Real introverts read books!

Tachicardia assured. OMG... I've been found!

I have this ability to hold a conversation without having any idea what it is about. I converse while daydreaming. It's nice at parties because it makes everybody happy (I'm in my private bubble and people think I'm happy with them) but it's a problem at work as I never know what my colleagues asked me to do even though I agreed to do it.

Friends are too much trouble. Cats could care less what you do.

If someone finds a job like this, please let me know. I'm so ready for a career change that involves ignoring people

This is me 200%.

But book club parties tho....

So very real, takes me hours of pacing back and forth first or a glass of wine.

lol or worse.... they show up at your house (uninvited) and you have to ninja crawl your way (underneath the windows to hide), before being spotted.

My teachers will look at me weirdly when I do that, which is often

When I was a kid, I act like this. I don't want strangers in my house. Lol now i know why.

I HATE leaving a message. If the mailbox answers, I'll just hang up knowing the person I called (as long as I know them) sees I was trying to reach them and eventually calls back... but if they call back to late (like anything past 8pm), I'm not going to answer either...

Use the internet, you can talk about things you like with other people who like them and it is relatively anonymous- e.g. you only know my name~

Most definitely!

I apologize for everything, to the point it actually annoys people, which I apologize for...

I use the excuse that I have to rearrange my sock drawer.

I wants belly rubs... but only three of them.

So glad I am not the only one who feels this way.. but soo true

If there was a phobia called Telephobia, I'd absolutely have it

When there's just the two of you, it's difficult to take it otherwise.

YES!!!

Dilemma seen, and experienced a zillion times over!

I'm in the news!

This happens a lot to me and I usually feel guilty because I can be really mean without intending it in these situations.

#the me does all the work in the end because nobody cares nor f*****g listens to people who actually have a plan

also we say that our parents didn't allow us to come but we never asked

Totally. So true that I hate getting gifts.

How do people deal with the birthday song? Just wondering.

Yes that is me, and the dogs.

Yep!

"Loading social skills", that's GOLDEN!

Lmao very real and true but then feel bad cuz wish I just got it over with

Try three hours.

THIS, when your parents invite someone over =(

Omg I so do this!!!

Can very much relate

You mean 'Please don't talk to me I'm thinking'.

Catch 22...

I've had so many of these conversations XD.... :o|

Spent Christmas hiding in the downstairs bathroom
