Introvert Moment #123

As an introvert I am scared of talking to people flirtatiously. As a bisexual, this fear is rated E for everyone. Maybe I should just live alone in a bungalow with like 4 elderly rescue dogs

When you take personality quizzes just to be sure you’re still introverted

Introvert Moment #121

Hanging out with autistic friends is the best. You can ask them about their special interests and they’ll give you the coolest, fun fact filled monologue ever

Introvert Moment #120

Having a parallel play hangout where you each have your own video games and occasionally exclaim to one another when something cool happens

Introvert Moment #119

The main reason I am so nice is because people leave me alone faster when the socializing is smooth

Introvert Moment #118

Oh god, please don’t celebrate me and please don’t throw me a party. Just text me “good job!” or “happy occasion!” with a funny gif. I promise that’s all I need to know I’m appreciated

Introvert Moment #117

When your friends understand that you have limited social capacity and that you still love them even if it’s been a few months since you’ve last hung out together

Introvert Moment #116

Apologizing unnecessarily when asking for something since that usually gives you the interaction of least resistance

[introvert-moments]

Introvert Moment #115

Staying up late because you enjoy knowing there likely are not many awake people in close proximity, which means your chances of socialization decrease by the minute

Introvert Moment #114

Your well meaning friends keep checking in on you but that just stresses you out more since you have to take the time to tell them how you are. You adore them but will go to them when you’re ready

Introvert Moment #113

There comes a certain point in the day where I must be left alone or I will figuratively combust. I reach my limit.

Introvert Moment #112

Me, trying to affirm my friend : I’d walk through a blizzard in a speedo for you!

My friend, probably traumatized at the thought of me in a speedo: …

Me: and pasties!

My friend: … (o･ω･o)

How to be comfortable even if you are amongst crowded places?

I personally try to focus on the parts that I feel most comfortable with, remembering to take breathers if I need them. I try my best not to get too caught up in the idea there’s tons of people around me because I tend to get too nervous and less functional if I do that. For example, if I was in a crowded shop I’d focus extra on finding what I need. If I channel my energy into my objective I have less need to worry too much about the many people nearby, they become secondary to what I need to do in a way. This also helps me effectively leave the store faster. If I’m at a party with friends I’d concentrate most on hanging out with them, if I find myself getting more comfortable with those nearby that’s great! But it’s not required! It’s nice to also remember you aren’t required to talk to everyone and you don’t have to be bffs with every person you meet. That at least takes a lot of the pressure off for me. Hope this helped a bit!

Please stop trying to hang out with me more than once a week, I’m not that fun. I won’t have enough new life lore for you between that time and the previous time to fill a whole hangout

Introvert Moment #110

You can only have one social event per week. Or one per month depending on the severity of it.

Wearing dark colors so people are less likely to notice you, the idea of fashion is acknowledged but not always practiced

Introvert Moment #108

Your phone is always on silent mode or Do Not Disturb mode. If they need to reach you they can text.
