#introverted

I used to think I was #introverted.

Socializing and public exhausts me, and I eventually get #overstimulated and #anxious and just need to leave, and find some peace alone.

However I think I am actually an #extrovert and socializing exhausts me due to having to constantly fight my #tourettes related tics, which almost never stop, and I have to focus and put effort into fighting, so I don't seem like a total manic.

So I need a break after a while.

I was asked the usual 'tell us something interesting about yourself" AGAIN in a meeting. So I decided to provide them with a very truthful answer. My fact is 'I'm #introverted, & I don't like being put on the spot to talk about myself'. The moderator wasn't too happy, but I'm at an age now I couldn't really careless. I don't want to do team building, I don't want to talk about my interesting facts, I want to go to work, do my job and get paid. We need to stop with the forced extroversion.

This was a super fun conversation, I hope you'll tune in to the Stay Introverted podcast and have a listen! 57 minutes of talk about what it means to be an extroverted introvert and why this can be a helpful skill for creative people to learn. I am neurodivergent (MS, AuDHD), so maybe something that's helped me will help you? #AutismAwareness #Introverted

Is there a term for a personality trait(?) that makes a person want to avoid personal pronouns for the self, particularly more than once, in a given message?

Trying to figure out of this is more of a component of being #neurodivergent, #introverted, or something else.

It leads to frequent and unusual sentences that start with the verb instead of a subject, which gets one more side-eye than might be preferred.

Doesn't really extend to others. Just don't like directly referencing myself.

#Introduction

I am what I would consider a pretty boring dad to five kiddos, from Lawrence KS. I'm most definitely
#introverted, and in a past life I'd much rather be #reading a good book or playing some #JRPG on whatever system is current.

These days, I can generally be found at home, doing the
#WorkFromHome thing as an application #SystemAdministrator dealing with lots of #OracleCloud fun (...not).

Downtime has me learning
#clojure, #typescript, #angular, #emacs and basically anything shiny that catches my eye.

I've been
#keto for the last few years, doing maintenance mode for most of that time, with no plans to change any time soon. It's a lifestyle for me, not a diet.

I've got a handful of accounts on the
#fediverse, one of which is my single user #mastodon instance. I'm trying different things out to see which I prefer most.

I'm sure I'll add more to this eventually, especially once I get any actual sites of mine up and going

Uff-da, as my Swedish relatives would say.

I've a little neuro-divergence here and there. Not exactly of the sort you describe.

I'm a little concerned that some readers will read your post & feel reinforced in their notion that being #Introverted is ND, while being #Extroverted is neurotypical.

This oft-reinforced misconception is as troubling (to me, anyway) as the thought that some ND things can be shrugged off as "they're just shy".
