When people ask us whether we would consider ourselves an introvert or an extrovert, we take painfully long to answer. Why not be both? We can be super outgoing at times, but some days we can also be shy, observing in the distance.
In society, we apparently don't exist, but we do. It might sound contradicting, ironic even, but we come in peace. It's the best of both worlds, really. Here are some things that we encounter.
1. You make plans for Friday night, but when the time actually comes, you realize you'd rather stay in and binge-watch some Netflix.
This is your 3rd week in a row you canceled on them, but it's okay.
2. You're having a socially productive day, talking to everyone and anybody. Then the next day, you just listen.
You've gone suddenly mute.
3. You want to be invited everywhere with your friends, even though you know you won't be going.
I think they're catching on.
4. You freeze up when someone asks you to do something because you're not sure if you want to or not...
Going out might be good for me, but the thought of staying in sounds better.
5. You come up with excuses way too much.
I forgot I have to go take a nap.
6. You spend a lot of time all by yourself.
7. But when you do go out, it's a good time.
[X] socialize.
8. After you spend the day out with friends, at work, or at school, it's just too much communication with humans for one day.
You just need to rejuvenate for a moment or two.
9. At the end of the day, you are exhausted from it all.
You feel good, but you're happy to be back home in your own bed.
