The pressure for introverts to act as extraverts is real.

We aren't broken.

We don't need conversation.
We don't need to get out and do.
We don't need to go to a party or concert.
We don't need to make more friends.

We need to retreat inward to recover so we can do a very select, chosen few of those things.

I promise we are okay if you let us do that.

@djwfyi The world is full of “helpful” advice for introverts on how to be more extroverted. There isn’t enough helpful advice in the world for extroverts on how to occasionally shut the fuck up.
