#extrovert problems

[loveotomization]

A hill I will die on: All communities (irl) should offer a service where you can pay someone to be your friend for as long as needed.

The suffering of being an autistic extrovert. Because I often have the following situation, especially when it comes to events with a lot of people attending.

My extroversion: "HURRAY! I AM WITH PEOPLE! LET ME INTERACT WITH PEOPLE! ENERGY!!!"

My autism: "Alright, we are NOW overwhelmed. Go into shutdown mode!"

[historian-in-pearls]

Just got a (probably scam) email asking if I want a job working from home and couldn't stop laughing. If a month of medical leave has taught me anything, it's that a.) I'm poorly suited to being at home, b.) I really love my job, and c.) I can't wait to get back. I think every single anesthesiologist and nurse at the hospital where I've been for ECT has had me pitch them museum memberships at this point. That's how much I've missed being at work.

It will forever annoy me that despite my best attempts, I'm still a social being.

Why can't I just happily introvert like everyone else?

I remember visiting the extrovert tag once and it was just introvert posting about how we are all annoying and should shut up and like...

You know we aren't all the popular girl or boy at your high school?

I've been told all my life that I am too loud or talk too much. You think that people who does that are always confident and it's ok to be shitty to them?

And you all talk like you should be kind to other until you revert back to an annoyed kid who think that people you dislike can't possibly have their own issues.

Don't worry, in this day and age, liking to talk is badly seen anyway. We do feel annoyint and like nobody care about what we have to say.

Grow up. It's time to see that we aren't in high school anymore. I shouldn't have to say that on something like this but extroverts have issues too and the world don't "favor" us.

I just Don't think humans were made to wake up in an empty house, walk around an empty house, spend all day in an empty house, and then go to sleep in an empty house. I think we are Supposed to have Community or we go Crazy

ok hard agree and hard relate. short rant incoming

ugggggggghhhh I keep getting upset with friends for never hosting things themselves (so no one ever hangs out unless I put in the effort), because it's just SO much as a chronically ill person to do it all the time (even if I love doing it), and the vast majority of them are fully abled

and like, on the one hand, I get that the hurt and anger is somewhat unfair given that not everyone enjoys hosting like I do, or is able to do it often (but even if you can't host, invite people out for dinner or SOMETHING). But also, no one does it EVER????? even when I say that I need to step back from it for a time for health reasons?????

and then people get upset with me for saying maintaining friendships requires effort, because friendships are supposed to be 'easy' ...

Being disabled but always being the host of events can be so exhausting. Had a potluck at my house but now everything in my body hurts and I don't ever want to stand up again. Cleaning top to bottom and cooking and setting up and then cleaning up when everyone leaves is so exhausting. Even with my husband doing it all with me. If you need me for the next week or two.. don't 😭

i feel like a doll sitting on a shelf waiting until someone wants to play with me in order to feel alive again

Okay so whatever, there are plushies and body pillows and having a pet for people who like to hug stuff. But if.... you are the one who needs to be hugged but there is no access to a person in your life. What then.

Introverts: "Live is so easy for extroverts. Everything caters to them."

Me, an extrovert, being forced to do home office for two days: "PLEASE, A BURGLER COME TO MY HOME! I NEED ANOTHER LIVING BREATHING PERSON TO TALK TO!!!"

I like talking to people on internet because we have subject I know they'd like to talk about. Irl I never know if the person is interested or just seeing me as an annoyance.

One of the main reasons I don't think Renee was originally intended to be terrible IS the fact that the miracle wonder baby is named after her.

Think about it: in the original Twilight, Renee's just kind of flightly. But she canonically tells Bella she doesn't have to exile herself to Forks and if she changes her mind, "You can come home whenever you want―I'll come right back as soon as you need me." She's emailing Bella pretty regularly ("Write me as soon as you get in. Tell me how your flight was. Is it raining? I miss you already. I'm almost finished packing for Florida, but I can't find my pink blouse. Do you know where I put it? Phil says hi. Mom.") and calls when Bella's emails sound 'off.' She shows up at the end when Bella's in the hospital. Sure there's the stuff about "lol Bella's been paying the bills since she was 10" but that could be hyperbole (that's how I originally read it). She's eccentric and forgetful but Bella calls her her best friend and she seems attentive and loving.

Forever Dawn was the original sequel to Twilight that was eventually reworked into Breaking Dawn to account (somewhat) for the stuff that happened in New Moon and Eclipse. The baby was always named Renesmee. She was named that before New Moon or Eclipse existed.

I genuinely think Renee got retconned somewhere along the line. Starts with Eclipse when she doesn't show up for Bella's graduation because of Phil's broken leg (although I still feel like this is mostly an Author Choice -- Bella and Renee already had their moment on Bella's trip to Florida, SM didn't feel like writing another one -- rather than a Character Choice), but accelerates in Life & Death (where Beau and Charlie basically say Renee needed custody because she couldn't care for herself) and Midnight Sun (where she's pretty much canonically a neglectful narcissist with a latent power to get people to do things for her).

But I don't think SM would have named the baby RENEsmeE if Renee had always been intended to be this narcissistic nightmare. I think SM's ideas about Renee changed as she kept writing but that originally she was just the quirky extroverted mom that the serious introverted daughter loved but didn't understand.

I don't think kids are made for introverts because imagine having low social battery just to come home to a kid who won't leave you alone. I could never.
