Again, depends. But if you're not my family or close friends, if you want a video conversation with me, we'll have to schedule it in advance, thanks.

It's unfair that we have to fake it at all. Our society is too extrovert-centric! ^__^

That's how I am when my batteries are charged. You'll ask me what's wrong when you see me tomorrow.

The phone is right next to me and I almost never answer it. If they start talking to the answering machine and it's spam then I pick up, terminate the call and delete the partial message they just left. If it's someone I know then I let them finish leaving a message and I might call them back in the next month or so.

I always feel some sense of relief when plans are cancelled, unless it's something I spent a lot of money on

If I were independently wealthy I would almost never leave the house and wouldn't miss a soul. I take a month vacation every year and pretty much stay home. I don't call people, I don't visit people and I'm perfectly happy by myself and have plenty to do.

True. Some alone time to recharge is all I need to maintain a reasonable level of sanity.

I'm mad that you invited someone and your making me leave the house. That means I got to put my pants back on.

d) people you do know.

One birthday, as a kid, I asked to be alone in the house. I wasn't up to anything, I just wanted peace and quiet

You can learn a lot by being quite.

Yup, I'm one of those people who let the phone ring, and text later 'did you call me?'

Because at work I know what I'm talking about and my coworkers share a common knowledge about our jobs. Outside, I know nothing about you other than your physically present and wearing clothes.

Fun is watching cartoons with my wife and daughter and laughing while eating dinner and playing with the dog.

thanks god i can order online.. but still have to talk with the delivery guy D:

I have to be approached first, I can’t just go up to someone and start chatting randomly.

Yeah, now, imagine being an introvert and single and there's someone who offers to "combine you" with "someone they know". Story of my adolescence.

that's why anti-vaxxer exist

This. Spot on.

"Tell your name and blablabla.." and i instant forget who i am or what i am ...

I'm not shy, I just don't want to talk and be the center of attention.

Like Arnold from Magic School Bus(kinda)

Curl up with your dog, eat, and watch tv.

yep, sometimes it makes me too bored. but, i still prefer the silence than a crowd to fill my boredness

My SIL once said my husband was anti-social because he never came to holiday or birthday gatherings at her home. Usually these gatherings involved her whole family who we only interacted with at..you guessed it..holidays and birthday gatherings. And there were so many members to her side of the family, us going to the gatherings usually meant us sitting in a corner being ignored because we never had any non-controversial topics of conversation we could engage in. I finally told her.."why would he drive 116 miles to bored because he's ignored all day due to the huge crowd when he can stay at home and have fun watching movies and chatting online with friends he knows. It's too overwhelming." She finally started having smaller gatherings with just my brother's side of the family. After a while, we stopped going entirely because we realized that seeing them meant we had to travel all the time, they never came to see us. The effort to stay connected has to be equally shared.

And do what? Sit there while no one talks to me and spend money? I rather watch TV at home for free.

did someone seriously ask that? that's insulting 😠

I'm great at customer service jobs. Because that's work me. Home me can have great small talk, then hide at the second or any other ensuing social occasion. Idk y

that's why i love my best friend. she would never ever want to hang out two days in a row :D
