Noelle AdamsHardly a hot take but my God, the holidays can be taxing on introverts.
Eleven days of vacation, and 9 have social commitments. Would have been 10/11 if we hadn't (guiltily) excused ourselves from one today.
Kenny Park@pfangirl I agree, and have internalised that I'm a bad human for not relishing all the interaction. I get lonely after a while on my own, so I'm not a recluse; I just like a balance between socialising and time to myself, and this season gets that balance very, very wrong for me.
