Once again the internet conflates “introvert” with “crippling social anxiety/executive dysfunction”.
“Do y’all extroverts ever feel pressured to talk, flighty, and hypersexual after three hours of sleep?”
Ah, bipolar my old friend. How are you?
It’s ok, I’m both!
I’m an introvert so conversation drains me and so I dread seeing the text message come in as I’m more than likely already over my social exposure limit, but my extreme anxiety about everything forces me to answer it almost immediately lol
What the fuck, are you me?
Oh God… This whole time I thought I was me but I’m not! I’m you!?
3 weeks? Try 6mo
Welcome to my adhd world
The longer you don’t respond the more daunting it gets
I wish people just came and saw me in person
Only my ADHD homies understand. Everyone else gets very upset.
I think you have the order of operations wrong here. You’re excusing bad behavior by claiming introversion. That’s just being shitty.
This type of behavior is usually caused by extreme social anxiety coupled with depression, ADHD, or some other mental health issue that causes executive dysfunction.
It’s not “just being shitty”.
You’re the type of person to call folks not getting out of bed because of their depression “just being lazy”
Inb4 “no this is different”
Found the entie!
Wait, do you not?
People know I’m often not timely with message responses
If they’re not cool with that, they probably self selected out of being my friend
it’s almost as if you should be friends with people who like you, and not friends with people who dislike you or whom you dislike.
when someone complains about how awful their friends are/make them feel, i ask them why they are friends then, and they usually tell me to go fuck myself. i don’t think i’ve ever dated a woman who actually liked her friends, so much as hated them and just wanted them to be jealous of her.
I’m doing this right now
No
No one texts me
Not even scams and advertisers?
Scams, almost never. Advertisers, couple of times in a week. I went on a block spree couple of years back and that seems to have worked.
Yeah but only always.
Yes, but if the friend is a fellow introvert they understand.
I’m in a group chat with a bunch of friends I’ve known for years. One day I see a message pop up asking if anybody has seen or heard from me. I hadn’t messaged or spoke to any of them in over 6 months.
It was nice to know I was thought of but trying to explain why I often don’t reply or join in was difficult.
You get over the guilt. It’s fine.
Marketologists be like: let’s put another notification so that’s the end user would be incencitized to open our site/app again
Me, not opening it again: The crack is sealed, and my order of monks would keep it that way for generations to come
Not anymore. My friends know that life sometimes gets busy and things sometimes fall in between the cracks. If they are truly friends, they know I’ll come back eventually and if they are in a rush, they can msg again. To people who think they are entitled to an answer i apply the following principle: “I have no obligation to lower my car window for bums begging for money. Even if I know them personally.”
