Extroverts do this ‘I’ll keep you company!’ thing at really distressing times imho. Like, just as I’ve managed to extricate myself from the group and I’m getting ready to go out for a walk, someone will go ‘I’ll come with you!’. Oh noooo I’m only walking to get AWAY from people! Or I say I’m nipping to the shops or out for a vape ‘I’ll keep you company!’ - I don’t WANT company that’s why I’ve found an excuse to go away!

When I was working I’d get excited about lunch breaks on a nice day: plan which bench I’d head for in the park, look forward to the specific Tesco Meal Deal sandwich I’d eat on it and the book I’d read while there. Then half the time some random colleague would pop up at last minute to ‘keep me company’, and I’d miss out on my plan. Instead I had to TALK to a COLLEAGUE for the WHOLE OF LUNCH. And that’s basically work. Extroverts stole my lunch breaks.

@girlonthenet and to make matters worse, THEY TALK TO YOU WHEN YOU HAVE HEADPHONES ON

@axel @girlonthenet can't you just keep the headphones in?
