Goddamn did I forget how much I hate online dating. Match, talk, get ghosted. Match, ghost. It is such a strange environment that I don't understand after being in a relationship for so long. That and the only advice you ever get from people is to go out and meet someone instead. Sure, my social anxiety and introversion will just sally forth from my apartment to woo people with my awkwardness. I hundred percent accept I am horrible at this, but damn it if it isn't frustrating. #IntrovertsUnite #OnlineDatingIsRubbish #IHaveNoClueWhatIAmDoing

I've been interviewing people for two days for a magazine story I've been working on, and I am EXHAUSTED. Being on gives me a headache.

@warpslide @RolloTreadway Ha! For me, there are NO 'non-optional social conventions'!

When I was younger then I went with the flow, but now, I'm happy to say 'NO' to anything! 😁

My care factor is ZERO 🤣

Social pressure means nothing to me!

If I post something, and you reply, and then I favorite your reply, that’s a whole lot of interacting for me as an #introvert 😂

Even mailboxes are primarily extroverts. #IntrovertsUnite

@Bearded_Pip @darnell @trevorflowers Some of us don’t like nightclubs or any crowded place. Let’s not bring the assumption of Extroversion here as well. I am on Mastodon because there are interesting conversations here, not because there are crowds. #IntrovertsUnite

@Micheleyee @Tooden @actuallyautistic They don’t even sound that happy!
It’s just this relentless treadmill of ‘fitting in’ and retaining or elevating their social standing by ‘being socially impressive’.

I bet they’d like a rest too!
But the social disapproval and taint of ‘introversion’ or even worse, ‘being anti-social’ 😱 …would be too much to bear!

It's been a day. I was on campus for the morning to staff an event, and that's always an energy-sucker from having to be *on* for hours. The longer I work mostly from home, the more I just want to hunker down in my home office and grimace at will... even when I'm with people I genuinely like. There's something about the effort of disciplining my expression that's exhausting.

Follow that up with my 3-hour Monday night Scriptwriting course (online, thank dog), & I'm beat.
