#introvert problems
I wish there was a codeword for “you sprung that plan on me too last-minute and I didn’t have enough time to mentally prepare myself” because I feel kinda bad when someone spontaneously invites me to do something and I’m just like no no no no I need WARNING I have to have enough time to build up my social energy
For someone who who struggles with two seconds of attention, I dream of becoming famous far too often.
Sometimes I wonder if I can post certain things here like personal stories or any thoughts until I remember that this is my blog?
INTJs and socializing
I think INTJ ended up asking 0 people.
Soooo,
I a couple days I will be meeting my childhood best friend (I was going to marry him) for the first time in 8 and a half years; I haven’t spoken to him in 8 and a half year either. I am not good at peopling to begin with, so what do I dooooo??!?
INTROVERTS
Introverts when they hear the door bell ring:
*whos at my door?* *is it the pizza man?* *wait, no, I didn’t order pizza tonight…*
*did someone order pizza for me?* *why would they order pizza for me?*
*wait no, what if…?*
Introvert’s mom:
At parties, I tend to hide in the bathroom for a while when the hubbub gets too overwhelming. But sometimes there’s this chatty guest who keeps talking to me and makes it impossible to flee to the bathroom. :P

Going to the party or not? That’s a really tough decision for introverts, especially if it’s a big party with lots of people they don’t know. Usually, introverts are very loyal friends, so they tend to sacrifice themselves for their loved ones.
Of course, most of us don’t hate parties altogether. Sometimes it’s fun to be around people and there are social introverts as well.
However, in general we prefer small groups and low-key activities to noisy places, stuffy air, and crowds of people.

When I was a teenager, I attended a 3-day event in a foreign city.
While the other attendees of the group I traveled with got in touch with people immediately, I didn’t and felt terribly lonely and like the odd one out. On the 2nd day, I was so anxious and depressed that I needed to see a doctor.
When I told the doc about my problem, she raised her eyebrows and asked, “Why are you lonely? You’re surrounded by thousands of people!"
She didn’t understand that you can feel lonely in a crowd as well.
Any fellow introverts out there who can relate?
Most introverts get this nagging feeling of awkwardness whenever someone tries to make small talk. We are just never know what to say and quickly feel bored. Just the question “What are you up to lately?” makes us speechless. Especially, if the person we’re talking to doesn’t accept “Nothing much” as an answer.

Introverts usually don’t hate people. We just prefer being alone or with a couple of close friends to a crowded place. The latter often overstimulates us which wears us out.

In an extroverted society, the difference between an introvert and an extrovert is that an introvert is often unconsciously deemed guilty until proven innocent.

I constantly complain that I should be more social. But then my introvertedness kicks in *sigh* :’D

Corona virus: Let me introduce myself
CDC: Self quarantine & wash your hands with soap and water to help stop the spread of the Corona virus.
Infected people: I think it’s a good time to travel,
And socialize.
Cases of the Corona virus popping up across the globe
CDC:
Unaffected people: This virus sounds bad. We should stock up on as much hand sanitizer, bottled water, and toilet paper like two years worth per person in the household.
Me : Why is there a toilet paper shortage?
CDC
My fellow Introverts: Did the government…did they just cancel going outside and large social gathering?!?!
Future post-apocalyptic/dystopian people: After the plague of 2020 the surviving remnant of mankind decided to base their new society on the ways introversion.
