I'm beginning to believe the uncontacted indigenous people who remain isolated from the other 8.23 billion people on the planet have the right idea...
My social battery burnt out so bad yesterday I'm barely managing to interact with my partners today. I didn't even want to start writing until well after lunch because I knew there would be conversations in today's scenes.
I can see into the car park from the office window and I can see many people eating their dinner in their cars. I am totally with them on that. If I have my car at work, I eat in it.
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.
Friday working is the best.
Hardly anyone does it.
I'm going to work every Friday.
Hey are there any other #introverted , highly ethical, justice sensitive, rejection sensitive, reluctant #entrepreneur #selfemployed #anticapitalist s out here just trying to figure out how to do your thing? I feel like if I’m going to find you anywhere, it’s here on mastodon, and I feel like we should stick together and figure out the whole strength-in-numbers thing.
A new update from this year. The scenery has changed a little bit, the attitude stays the same! #introduction #introverted
I was today years old when I realized that the “quiet ride” setting in the Lyft app does *not* mean the driver won’t make small talk with you. #introverted
A lot of people think I’m unhappy because I’m quiet. I'm not unhappy - I just appreciate silence in a world that never stops talking…
I think I need like 12 hrs of recovery after I had a social meeting for a few hrs with a group of unknown people cause... #introverted
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".
3 Traits of The #LoneWolf #Empath

#traumabond
#Empaths are deep #feelers, mostly #introverted and many are also #lonewolves, meaning they carve their own path, are extremely #creative and prone to #loneliness and #addiction.
