How to make friends as an introvert?

Being an introvert, you are blessed enough if you enjoy your own company. Remember that humans are social animals, so you must make friends to share good and bad thoughts. That is how biology works. Read more: learn how to make friends as an introvert

saikis powers are a vital part of him so it makes sense that people who dont know about them cant truly understand his whole self, but its also very silly to me when people act like its the ONLY important part of him... people act like his friends that arent in the know are completely blind to who saiki is, but i feel like that kinda means you missed some major points... he cant keep his powers a secret forever and it DOES matter, but he can still be loved and KNOWN without knowing about them... hes still human, he still has a personality, he still has regular likes and dislikes, etcetc

his friends perspectives on him may have been wrong at first, but they CHANGED... they know him and love him, and theyll KEEP loving him the SAME once they know of his powers...

​some people cough cough cough in this fandom like to reduce saiki to JUST his powers and its so obvious that you just. missed everything. you didnt absorb anything from the show, you just saw it and went "ha, everyone thinks hes just a guy when hes actually super cool and powerful" no no no, he IS cool and powerful but look a little closer and at his core he is still LITERALLY JUST A GUY 😭😭😭

hes such a guy.....

SO, I've been exploring mixed media's and indulging in multiple fandoms as of recently!

I wanted to show my small art work of the super mario bros!

I'm currently experimenting to find a style I love for them both! So you'll see some inconsistencies till I nail down the way I wanna draw them!

Yes more traditional doodles, digital art is hard sometimes-

SUPER MARIO BROS FANS WHERE YOU AT??? 🗣🗣🗣🗣

the complete mischaracterization of early season merlin (every season merlin actually 🙄) gets me so bad in fanfics bc he actually had the funniest crush of all time on arthur. he’s such a fucking loser teenage boy with a crush. like obviously there was that rivals thing that last for like not even 48 hours, but also merlins complete ranting about how arthur thinks himself so cool and smart and tough (and handsome) when MERLIN is the one who is cool and smart and tough (and handsome).

why doesn’t arthur think he’s the coolest, smartest, toughest, (most handsome) man ever? how could he be so blind? gaius, let me tell you about all the times I was the coolest, smartest, toughest, (most handsome) man ever like when I saved arthur’s life 4 times this week. see, arthur really should just acknowledge how superior I am to him in every way (and swoon at my feet).

It’s so fucking FUNNY. he’s so immature. like im actually convinced that merlin used to fantasize about revealing his magic to arthur in some grand, over dramatic sacrifice, and the main point of the fantasy was arthur crying over merlin’s dead (preferably injured but thinking he’s dead) body and lamenting how stupid he was for never realizing how awesome (and good-looking) merlin was, and could merlin forgive him? gaius is looking at this boy daydreaming like bsffr rn

What kind of Introvert is Kinich do you think?

The introvert that is shy of People or "eww people?" 🤔

HMMM I don't believe he is shy, but it doesn't mean he dislikes people

It is kind of canon that he felt sometime alone, because he had no friends 😭 i think it is more "huh. People can't deal with me. Welp... that's how it is" his straightforwardness, rational thought and impassive face clearly doesn't help him. He talks only when he thinks it is necessary ??

You know what? Fuck it, they both have homeschool trauma

I saw a post today talking about how difficult making friends can be, as well as maintaining friendships, and as someone who has spent the last few years learning how to maintain friendships while moving a couple times and some big life events. One of the best things you can do for a friendship is organise to do THINGS.

Not just meet and talk or chat over message. Arrange to go swimming, or for a row boat ride, cook dinner together, try making clay creatures and laugh at how bad they are. Go to see a play or a singer or a waterfall.

Sit on a call together in silence while you crochet or watch something at the same time in different locations.

Or while you both draw or do dishes and say the random questions that come to mind 'do you think aliens could exist?' 'How can you tell when you're in love?' 'There’s a really cool bird out the window I think you'd like it, it's all blue and green!'

The key is to not try to keep the friendship for the sake of it, but enjoy the Person and their company

Maintaining of a friendship over time requires effort, but also acceptance that you won't speak or see each other all the time. My 3 best friends are all from different phases of life and I have had periods of months or years where I didn’t speak to them just because we had shifted how much we saw each other.

You see them when you see them, you speak when you speak, but you'll find people who with even a tiny amount of effort (a birthday gift, a card, a meme sent, a message or a gif) you can hold onto. People who mean the world to you even though you only see them a could times a year.

I once heard the phrase that friends are like stars, even when you don't see them, they're still there.

Friendships that truly mean something aren't like sitcoms or movies. Life is more complicated and people are too, don't feel bad if your friendships don't match up to what you expect, or if you can't be there all the time.

All things considered, I'm a pretty shit friend sometimes, I forget birthdays and I'm useless to get hold of sometimes. But on either side of friendships that I have, we both make enough of an effort that they're still there.

I'm going to the cinema tomorrow with a friend I've had since I was 11 (or 13 depending how we've decided to measure it that day) and I haven't seen in person in nearly a year. We're still going to have a great time.

Your friendship takes whatever form works for you, don't lose sight of the people you love cos the way you love them doens’t look like 'it's supposed to'

Trying to figure out how people make friends and find a partner. Can you write in the tags where you meet your friends/partner and how you became friends/ got into a relationship please?

[soundleer]

i always find myself get intimidated simply trying to engage with other well-known artists at will so i always end up lurking and enjoying the content people make awkwardly like a pathetic dumpster raccoon

even funnier, i completely forget these same artists follow me so everytime someone i admire interacts with me i completely froze like a deer on headlights imploding with utter confusion

Has this been done yet?

Benefits to adopting this introvert:

Will listen to you always.

Will always be look out for you.

Potentially get your own personal song and poems.

Lots of food.

Strange random noises.

Any takers? No?

Yeah I thought so :'D

Question, how do you make fandom friends in real life?? Like I don’t like talking to people but i need someone to talk about fandoms, I’m going to go insane

[trebuchet151]

Heya, you’ve been visited by the fandom faery!✨

Your art is beyond wonderful! You go above and beyond on everything you share with the fandom while taking the time to share other’s work, so thank you for being you!

If you feel like sharing: Does Corey have any hobbies or routines they use to pass the time, outside of villainy? Do the people close to them know about any of them?

OMG FANDOM FAERYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I literally had to walk away from replying to this like 5 times cuz I keep getting emotional this is SO SWEET!!! I don't even know what to say honestly I just <33333333 thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!

and Yes! Corey lore time under the cut for length <3

Corey is a musician! Their primary hobby is sort of a conglomerate of related hobbies in a trench coat; they play guitar, sing, and write their own music.

I hc that Anathema taught them, and the Rangers got them their first electric guitar/amp set up as a sort of joint present for the first birthday they (willingly) celebrated together.

They've always been very talkative/vocal, and mimicking things they hear is comforting for them (echolalia!). This made them *really good* at impressions and vocal mimicry (farm trained cuckoo skill), but it coincidentally also made them a really versatile singer. Over the years they've honed in on their own personal style, but they got their start singing whatever earworms they telepathically overheard in the the farm staff's heads and singing along with the radio/ getting invited to Ranger's karaoke night (their absolute favorite bonding activity).

They started writing music in their Sidestep days as a sort of vent art, and never showed their songs to anyone but Anathema. They've never been much for talking about their feelings, but they have to go somewhere, so turning them into edgy lyrics and screaming into a microphone about it was their preferred therapy substitute. After the heartbreak incident, Ortega keeps their guitar and their ipod out of sentimentality. Eventually they snoop through the ipod and find all of Corey's music. And hey, theyre dead, no harm in showing Steel (doesnt really care) and Herald (begs for mp3s) right?

One of the first things Corey did post-second escape was steal buy a shitty acoustic guitar. They made all their legitimate money by busking until they got established enough in LD again to get a tech support job as a cover and start their villain arc! They haven't had much time for playing/singing during Rebirth and Retri, but it's their go-to mind numbing activity for when they can't sleep (hope the neighbors like metalcore). Ortega gives back their ipod and their old guitar sometime between Rebirth and Retri. They are juuuuust starting to get back into writing music when shit hits the fan in Retribution, luckily theyll have plenty of time to work on their art while they wait for their legs to heal :) (theyre very aware of the potential behind being a decent musician/songwriter AND a villain with a big fanclub. They would really prefer to keep their music a personal thing, but are fully prepared to weaponize it if they think the attention would keep the farm off them)

Other self soothing routines include walks by the ocean and visiting the aquarium! Everyone knows about these, Corey has always been a fish nerd. They'd love to put together a tank of their own at their apartment, but are too worried about what would happen to the fish if they disappeared again to do it.

Interesting. Don’t necessarily think I’m autistic but I have more going on than just ADHD and I’m not sure what that is.
