Do extroverts think introverts just like never leave the house or something
based on things i’ve seen before that are all “introverts be like…”
this is less an “extroverts just don’t understand introverts” thing and more of a “people with Avoidant Personality Disorder or Social Anxiety Disorder think they represent normal introversion to avoid facing their own demons and try to create relatable content” thing.
In case anyone needs this here are some examples of what normal introversion is:
people are good but take some effort to be around and after a while i will need to withdraw for a bit from exhaustion
i can spend a little while with limited human contact and be content
here are some things that are symptoms of disorders:
i am nervous to leave my house because when i am in public i think people are judging me constantly.
being in crowded public spaces gives me panic attacks and makes me claustrophobic.
i assume nobody likes me and/or that i am a burden on others so avoid social interaction
all other people except me and maybe two of my friends are stupid assholes who aren’t worth my energy.
i deny myself social interaction from anxiety to the point of severe loneliness then cling to people excessively when forced into a social situation, which ironically weirds them out and drives them away
i only spend time with a very carefully curated people from the internet even though i am not in a living situation where that’s far from my only option, because it allows me to idealize them.
only a select number of people who are pure of heart can enter my realm, the absolutely amazing flawless creatures… until they fail me in some way, shattering my illusion of them and now they are toxic dog shit i need to cut out of my life. weirdly this happens with the majority of people that i meet…
what if i get hurt again? better ghost everyone out of my life just to be safe.
