  1. Getting ready to go to a volunteer award night to accept an award, as my partner and I were nominated for our work with the local basketball org.

    I keep thinking about the various corporate trainings we’ve both had to do in the past where it talked about how you should ask your employees/colleagues etc if they prefer public thanks or private thanks.

    And how confused all the extroverts would look at the very idea that a person might not want to be lauded publicly.

    Yeah, we got nominated by an extrovert.

  3. As people in the street
    seek the chance to meet
    others with hearts
    that beat the same
    still others will retreat:
    being in crowds is too great a feat
    for their subtle souls
    that play a different game
    We watch from our high towers
    as delicate as flowers
    and give each our beating hearts
    our secret names

  5. Susanna Clarke: Piranesi and Jonathan Strange

    Did you ever finish reading a book and then went straight back to the first page to read it again? This happened to me when I read Piranesi, a rather short novel by Susanna Clarke. Piranesi is a magical, mythical and mind-boggling mystery. Probably one of the most unique books I have ever read.

    I don’t really know what else to say about this book without spoiling it, except that it’s […]

  6. @Devils_Rancher @flisswave @MexicanYenta Also, I think the main reason @BitterOldPunk and I have stayed together & not killed each other even once is that he’s a morning person and I’m a night owl, so we each get a few hours alone, even during the pandemic.#IntrovertsUnite

  7. @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!

  9. @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!

  11. I’m sorry I didn’t come to that thing you invited me to, but I didn’t want to.

  12. @Fenix

    I am an introvert too so I hear you on the exhaustion after public interaction. My family still finds it puzzling I chose a job that involves evaluating different people every week. That's at least structured... whereas just the idea of random small talk will have me fleeing in other settings. #IntrovertsUnite for sure!

  13. @ChloeDecker While I have worked in customer service my entire life I am a clinical introvert. I am uncomfortable in public conversations and each day I arrive home exhausted from the public interaction. Yet I have adapted in order to make a living. #IntrovertsUnite @cloutwoman @cloutman
