I’ll use this post (hope you don’t mind) to tell a funny story.
I was part of a Meetup group for introverts in an area I used to live in. I kept telling myself I would show up to one of their get togethers. But noticed it seemed like everyone that did already knew each other very well. Which of course made me feel uncomfortable so I never went.
Then Meetup contacted the whole group to say the leader that started the group had stepped down since they didn’t have the time to organize it any longer. So they needed one of us to step up and organize the group going forward or they would be forced to close the group down.
So of course no one in a group of introverts stepped up and it was closed down. Always makes me chuckle a little looking back.
Can’t feel face, bra, bowel needs. Urge to explain to others about your book you haven’t read. Other numb faces nod and smile then talk about their random stupid thoughts too. Pets are now also a talking point. Bed is for passing out now. Or horny adventure
True friendship is when you can be together and not feel the need to entertain or be entertained.
Many people who self identify as extroverts are just deathly afraid of silence and isolation as it may lead them to pay attention to their own thoughts.
While those are all accurate to me (except the bra) my main motivator is that I’ve passed my interaction threshold. It was quite fun, but I’m done now. Goodbye.
