As an #introvert I relate to this.

As an #ActuallyAutistic #Introvert I double relate to this.
Not an introvert, but I get it.
I'm an introvert, but no one can really tell since I have extroverted tendencies when around people. I do need that time at the end of a day of being around people (like when I travel) to recharge my battery.
Very similar. I need my “brooding” time. Usually, late at night.
@mookie as the mum of 2 introverts and 1 extravert, I can relate.
There is the same pain in their eyes when they ask me ''but for how long?'' when I ask 2 to talk or 1 to be quiet...
@MamzelleAgnes Hehe. I can’t even imagine what that’s like — though, it sounds kind of amusing 
@mookie it means that I have to say things I would never have imagined like to the chatty extravert ''please, use meal time to eat''
And when my elder introvert get a phone call from their best friend, I am happy to hear their voice from their bedroom
@mookie so true!
Need a badge / tee-shirt with...
Dear Extrovert's,
shut the fuck up!
Best regards,
The rest of us...
@mookie
As as ambivert but also audhd, depending on the people, it can be confusing, so I just tell friends, if you wanna talk or not and hang out just let me know and I’ll do the same…
Sometimes the scale of overwhelming can sneak up on different friends, for me as well, sometimes, different people and different topics, SPINs and things can be comforting.
While others can raise anxiety.
Sometimes atmosphere of environment has its own social ecosystem or locus plays in role
@mookie as an autistic I relate to this!
@mookie
Thank you!! I so relate to this! And I have a good friend who is not only an extrovert, but loud, VERY opinionated & compelled to try to show everyone the error of their differing thoughts or feelings. She has many good qualities, but often makes me cringe.
@lolonurse We all have that one friend. Hehe. I have one too, same as you described your friend.
@mookie
oh dear. 😏
@mookie Club.

@haojatsu@fedinerds.social
@mookie Same here.
OMG LOL Thank you for a good chuckle.
@mookie si, pour ma part, j'invite ceux de mes élèves qui prennent trop de place et se croient seuls au monde à la mettre en veille.
@mookie As an introvert, I don’t.
No one can force me to be talkative.
And I don’t want other people to be forced to be contrary to their nature; that does not make me feel better.
@mookie Even as an introvert, I'd like to say that going remote has forced extroverts to do exactly that, for the most part of the day.
Telling them to have a video chat with like-minded people is like telling introverts to find a quiet corner for work. For extroverts, it's not the same as an in-person conversation - pretty much the same as a "quiet corner" in the office does not actually offer solitude to introverts.
@mookie I like to tell the person dominating the conversation "I like that, let's circle back," and then say to the introvert "what were you saying about the thing?"
@mookie
That missing question mark drives me mad for some reason.
@mookie omg, I wanna have this as a poster on my office door 
@tfunken Hehe, if I worked in an office more often, I'd totally put this up as a poster too
