I genuinely don’t understand how some people can hang out multiple times a week and not feel completely emotionally exsanguinated by Wednesday.
No judgment I’m actually in awe.
Like... how??
What kind of arcane energy rituals are you doing, and are they FDA-approved? 🧪✨
If I go out once, that’s it.
That was the event.
The Main Quest.
The Entire Social Budget for the week.
Twice in a week?
That’s a red alert. 🚨
Three times?
You’re legally obligated to visit me in the hospital wing of emotional burnout. 🛌
After socializing, I require:
One wall to stare at blankly 🧱
Cereal consumed directly from the box 🥣
Absolute silence interrupted only by the soft hum of overthinking 🤯
Maybe a nap, maybe a cry 😴😢
Definitely not a follow-up brunch 🚫🥞
It’s not that I don’t like people.
It’s just that I can only tolerate so much human data input before my internal server crashes. 💻🔥
Meanwhile, other people are thriving:
brunch on Saturday, dinner on Sunday, game night Tuesday, wine and deep conversation Thursday.
And they’re still smiling. Still coherent. Still brushing their hair and wearing pants. 👖😄
I’m just trying to survive one birthday party per month without spiralling into a week-long introvert hangover. 😞🎉
Extroverts seem to get energy from this stuff.
They’re like social solar panels.
The more interaction, the more they glow. ☀️✨
Introverts?
We’re like crank flashlights. 🔦
You can’t just plug us into a party and expect light.
We need solitude to recharge.
Quiet to reassemble our emotional molecules. 🧬
Too many interactions, even lovely ones, and suddenly our soul files a formal request to shut down. 📄🙅♀️
So, if you ever feel weird or guilty about cancelling plans, going ghost after a group hang, or needing a night (or three) of nothing...
You’re not broken. You’re buffering. ⏳
So, to the fellow wall-starers, cereal-eaters, social soft-quitters and ghost texters... you’re not alone.
Your social battery isn’t weak.
It’s just introvert-optimized.
High-intensity interaction with limited charge. 🧠⚡
And honestly? I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Because in the quiet, we recharge.
In the solitude, we process.
In the stillness, we come back to life. 🌿
So no, I don’t want to come to your third event this week.
But I’ll send you memes while I’m eating cereal and recharging under a blanket. 🥣📱🛋️
Which, let’s be honest, is where I thrive. 🏋️♀️🧼
