MODERATORS
We're at the "demonization of being left-handed" stage of understanding.
Yes you appear to be left handed but couldn't you simply train to use your right hand? You and all the left handed people should work on that
As somebody whose ambi, you have no idea how fun it is when a righty catches me writing with my left and making a big deal out of it…
Only for me to be like “Ooops. I forgot” and switch back to my right.
I have been working from home in a new country for a few years now and frankly would be doing amazing if I was just a little lonelier
This person has social anxiety, not introversion.
As an actual introvert, I have no problems socializing or going to groups/clubs. I just can't be there long without getting bored and tired
Wouldn't it still be true then cause you wouldn't want to go to something that's boring and draining? I mean at least personally I don't feel anxious about going out to events and stuff but I more just don't feel motivated to cause staying home by myself sounds nice. Especially if it's something that doesn't sound that fun. But once I actually go I'm fine except for it being tiring after a while. I mean at the end of the day it does probably vary from person to person cause humans are complex.
Not really.
The guy suggested something stupid. She pointed that out.
While social anxiety and introversion are commonly confused, I don’t think they are confusing them here.
I don’t like large (10+) parties. Doesn’t mean I don’t occasionally go, and it doesn’t mean I have social anxiety. And if some one suggests “fixing” it with as ignorant a solution as group therapy; yeah, I’m pointing that out to them.
I don't want to speak for all introverts, but by god I wish someone would gather a bunch of us with similar interests and invited us to a nice quiet place to hang out.
With snacks, too?!
There will also be a console with two controllers in a corner.
As long as there's Rockband or Guitar Hero, I'm in.
an introvert overt support group... where introverts could meet up and talk
I can't adequately describe how unlikely it is that this introvert would ever show up to this.
But introversion just means that talking decreases someone's energy. Does it also mean that introverts don't want to talk with others about topics that interest them? I thought, that this isn't the case.
PS: Yes I get it. It's meant to be paradox/ absurd by contrasting the two contradictory statements with each other. :)
That’s a bit of an oversimplification.
As an introvert, I don’t like large group anything. They do nothing for me. The way I see it, I’m giving up meaningful interactions for inane small talk.
Do I go to parties? Sometimes. Because I understand that extroverts get pissy if I don’t meet their needs. I just wish the extroverts in my life would give me the same consideration.
Boycott Starbucks!
NGL…
Starbucks, hortons; any super chain like that… all have terrible coffee.
Like. I normally use a number of local, single-store places for those kinds of meetings. The last time I tried a Starbucks it was disgusting; and the meeting sucked cuz it was too loud.
