As an #introvert, I don’t really make friends often. Almost all my friends are extroverts that decided they wanted to be my friend and wouldn’t take no for an answer.

Three days a week I make a conscious effort to keep my car in the driveway, make do w/ what I have in the fridge, and talk to as few people as possible... and it makes me so happy...

I feel restless bc my life has been unstable since 2022 when I left my place to live with the bf. I’m an #introvert. Haven’t been able to recharge alone for ~4 years bc there’s always someone around. Getting angry abt it. I want to be left ALONE in silence

Herzmenschen, die einen so wichtig sind, dass sogar Sprachnachrichten in Kauf genommen werden. <3

Quiet people can network as well as extroverts – if they know how.

The Conversation

"The introvert-extrovert battery metaphor has flattened a sophisticated neurological process into a simple energy equation.
What’s actually occurring is post-social cognitive processing — the brain replaying, categorizing, and making meaning from every emotional signal it detected — and empathy depth, not social fatigue, determines how long it takes."

I feel seen.

Psychologists say people who need to be alone after socializing aren't recharging from exhaustion. Their brains are doing post-processing work on every emotional signal they absorbed, and the more empathetic someone is, the longer that processing period takes.

The quiet after socializing isn't recovery from depletion — it's your brain running a complex sorting algorithm on every micro-expression, tonal shift, and unspoken tension you absorbed, and some of us simply have more data to process.

/* Outsider's Lament */

I'm a misfit in all misfit spaces
It's the life I have been doomed to lead
Not obsessions, dabbling in most cases
Never true fangirl, variety's what I need

But the view from outside can be lonely
Sometimes I wish that my truth were less true
If could feel fandoms like you, see
Perhaps we could be friends, me and you

But alas, to pretend would be lying
So I'll stay on the outside looking in
And when inside I feel like crying
I'll tamp down and hide it with a grin.
