RE: The life of an introvert [ENG/ESP]
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I often purposefully tell people: don't stop inviting me, it's just sometimes I get anxious and need to be alone, it's not you.
I get social anxiety which is a knock on effect of introversion, but then I love being in certain company too, just not everyone's. I don't know if it's damage from being bullied, or the fact I have a Cancer moon ahaha... My emotional self needs quiet to process and when in company my emotional body starts to pop and fizz and get over stimulated.. I was like that as a kid too. Plus I feel like I'm on high alert all the time, watching social cues and worrying I'll fuck up.
Like @vincentnijman , I'm hypersensitive... In fact, the article I wrote about that here kick started his hypersensitive writing! It's a blessing and a curse.
In fact I think part of my introversion is also due to social anxiety, I am afraid to talk to people (including ordering a pizza) I always leave that task to my siblings.
It's hard to be an introvert in an extroverted world where silence is not part of the table. People nowadays tend to move very fast, with a lot of noise and in very large groups. Social media for me is a very difficult thing to process (even when I try to be anonymous I find it difficult).
We should do the introverts club hahaha sounds fun at a certain point, a place to recharge, silence and connections.
Haha good idea! And we can just write posts that look like this.

And we would all totally get it.
Haha I know sometimes I say to the hubs that he has to order as I can't talk to anyone right now 😂 But most of time I'm okay with that task ..
It's why I like surfing. If I don't want to talk to people I can just paddle to a different part of break or get a wave or keep eyes on horizon...
