Introvert Moment #121
Hanging out with autistic friends is the best. You can ask them about their special interests and they’ll give you the coolest, fun fact filled monologue ever

I have a work trip coming up soon and most of my designated extrovert buddies won't be there.
I don't know if I'm more panicked or relieved.

Tell me you’re an introvert without telling me you’re an introvert
It’s been raining a lot in the Philippines these days. I love being able to wake up to the sound of rain and the chilly air. But on the other hand, it can be quite stressful, especially if I need to commute to get to school. Speaking of commuting, having to say "para po" to the driver when riding a jeepney is a challenge for introverts. Like me, I became anxious because I was afraid of not being heard or needing to shout.

I dislike having to be the center of attention, which is possibly why I don't like to talk much; I would rather listen. Sometimes I even start a conversation with someone just to let them continue and listen to them talk. As an introvert, I also dislike crowded areas, yet I enjoy the sense of being at a concert and screaming my lungs out without the feeling of someone judging me. It's just me in the audience, singing along with our favorite artists alongside thousands of others. Although after such a social event, I find myself mentally and physically exhausted, requiring myself to rest and recharge.
Text >>> over calls. I prefer texting rather than calling, maybe because when texting I have more time to think through what to say and I can freely choose when to respond. I usually need to think things through before I say them, so whenever I order food at the counter, I always practice what I'm going to say or what I'm going to order first. However, when introverts feel at ease with someone, which for me usually takes months or even years, we actually become more talkative and confident.

i don’t think people (as a generalized collective) truly understand introversion and being peopled out, etc. sometimes it feels like you are tired or exhausted, yes. But other times and often , it is that (including but not limited to): - you begin to feel physical pain (mild to intense) in every social interaction. - you can sometimes barely talk or control your tone. - anxiety that you might run into a person and a desire to escape to an alone place kicks in. - you feel physically ill, nauseous, sometimes feverish. - If the human exposure continues, one might even breakdown in tears or lash out (though not angry at anything). - Your senses might start feeling like they are going crazy and you might start experiencing sensory overload: Your clothes suddenly may become texturally unbearable, Every sound is way louder than normal and hits your eardrums in the worst and most direct way possible, etc - you stop being able to experience joy in the world around you - you may stop being able to make basic decisions - you may stop being able to extract yourself from a social situation you don’t want to be in - you may stop being able to think coherently - and many other things that i have forgotten to list here (introverts: feel free to add more)

90% of my problems will solve if I learn public speaking. Somedays I deeply feel like the society is in favour of the extroverts or the ones who can easily fit and flow with every given circumstance. And not us, who have to rehearse even the tiniest social interaction like saying "present ma'am" during roll call. And the thing is, it sounds bizzare to others. It sounds absurd to others that some people really feel this anxious around people. But it's a fact, a reality, sometimes painful and sometimes pleasureable, for hoomans like us. At times I feel depressed when I see others of my age delivering speeches with utmost confidence during events, grabbing every opportunity they get, hanging out with friends, etc.
One has to walk a mile in our shoes, before coming into any conclusion regarding this matter. And and, it has nothing to do with ignorance. Some ignorant people are highly confident, not feeling even the slightest bit of anxiety when they talk. It's just.. unexplainable and exhausting. Don't know why I'm writing this. Ugh. Forget it.

considering the fact that I am an introvert with the emotional intelligence of a broccoli, who mostly likes doing things alone, the friends I did make, are probably the best people in the world.

Introvert Moment #113
There comes a certain point in the day where I must be left alone or I will figuratively combust. I reach my limit.

I literally hate social events this is how interactions go for me
Friend: I'm having a party, do you want to come
Me: Ah I don't know, I'm usually pretty busy, I'll try
*The night of the party
Watches youtube and scrolls on tumblr and pinterest
*The day after the party
Me: Oh yeah there was a party yesterday... glad I missed it, I had a good time doing nothing

A quiet girl's problem with forced interaction
It’s one dark gloomy night in the middle of November. Summer has finally given up putting up the good fight as her last bit of warmth no longer lingers. With the sun setting in the late afternoon, the sky is already pitch black which somehow strangely compliments the crisp cold air biting at my cheeks.
Me, my siblings, and parents all depart the minivan, our hands occupied with covered dishes, pies, and cakes. As we enter into the unfamiliar home each of us kids are greeted by unfamiliar faces. Adults we’ve never seen until that moment. We each give a polite wave and smile, but suddenly we are barked at and forced to give a hug and a kiss on the cheek to these... strangers. These nice people insist that a smile and a wave just fine until they are told to forgive our lack of manners.
With every family outing that involved visiting other relatives, the scenarios have all been the same— forced greetings and forced goodbyes with physical contact. As these scenarios left 13-year-old me feeling awkward and ticked off rather than happy to see family the rest of the outing, I made it a precedence to always greet family members the way I’m told with or without being in the presence of parents, like that of a dog being trained by its owner.
With my shy nature and introverted personality, everyone now wonders why I'm the family member who never shows up.
As I was thinking that this was just the way of Haitian culture, I was dumbfounded to see similarities in the American classroom. With the class setting being a bit more low-key in their own version of forced interaction.
Working in groups
Introducing ourselves around the room
Partnering up with someone by teachers orders
Etc....etc.…
Again what the does this teach people? What does it teach children? It certainly doesn’t teach respect!
And what exactly did this remedy in my case?
Because now being a grown adult with college being 13 years in the past, I now hate unnecessary human interaction more than ever.
Small talk? No thanks.
Convo stoppers? Yes please!
How about we denormalize forced interaction especially on children?
