luciferofastora,

Not me gearing up for a phone call half a dozen times this week only for the phone to be occupied every damn time I call until I just can’t get myself to call anymore

MaxPower,

Yeah but social gatherings that are mandatory (or “kind of” mandatory) are the real stressors. Those make me sweat and dread tbh.

Feirdro,

I’d make a million phone call if it replaced one face to face. Brr

Oh same here. If my visage could drift through this life with people remembering it like fingerprints on a forgotten handrail then I’d be much better off.

Introversion and social anxiety are two different things

Gestrid,

This. I’ve gotta take about 5 minutes or more to mentally prep for a phone call if it’s for business. Afterwards, I’m exhausted.

Tb0n3,

There’s introverts and then there’s extreme social anxiety. They’re not the same.

_number8_,

introversion & social anxiety are frequently comorbid for extremely obvious reasons. there’s no reason to gatekeep introversion.

I’m just an introvert with ADHDand I agree with this meme. This is especially true after a long day of work. I do not have extreme anxiety or any anxiety in a social situation. I just find them exhausting.

CarterDarter,

I’m the exact same, except I also have terrible anxiety, so that covers both the control and the test… damn who knew this meme didn’t need gatekeepers?

True for me as well. After a day of peopleing having a phone call too is exalhausting. But on a day off doing a few calls is a non issue for me.

InputZero,

Oh sure, a lesson from Mr. I’m-my-own-grandpa.

deerdelighted,

As an introvert with pretty bad social anxiety, I have to say I’m glad I am not extraverted.

Draedron,

Yeah and the meme is about introverts.
