When you are an introvert

[catbyte]

I can relate so hard.

1. That is me to a T.

I especially felt for the serious little girl who thought the best part whatever the event had been was leaving.

2. I loved her! And the phone, too

I'm embarrassed to admit that I've done that.

Cheers, fellow introvert!

4. I could never run for office because having to knock on doors and knock ntroduce...

…myself to legions of strangers is my idea of pure torture.

3. Yep. Love the little girl-- What was the best part? Leaving. And can relate to cancellations, and hate making phone calls

6. This is so accurate

I hate phones. Text based communication I don’t mind. There is no real time or “human” aspect to it .it is nice and distant. You can answer at your pace or not..

I liked the couple who close the door and breathe a sigh of relief.

(The worst torture you can inflict on someone is fill their house with disgusting interactive technology that mimics human interaction imo. Terrible ideas that suggest themselves to one these days. If someone were to fill my house with shit like that, any govt officials that signed off on it and any techies or other people who worked on it can expect criminal charges (including for implicit force and extortion and harassment).
The only interactions and sounds I want in my home are wildlife sounds uncorrupted by anthropogenic nuisances. Just birdsong/insect noises and the natural rhythms of life with no disgusting and criminal VR/bots/ambient nuisances or other worthless garbage tech. I like to keep my tech and other stuff minimalist.

I like strict light and sound pollution laws so that invasive anthropogenic junk cannot encroach into my home. That sort of land grab should be criminalised. I also hate it when they blare music locally and that’s an overt nuisance you can at least report easily. I don’t come into your spaces-stay out of mine).

7. As an introvert

I agree with a lot of what was shown in the video and DU posters thoughts. I'm not anti-social but I just don't need to be around people for prolonged periods unless there is something we're doing together. I've worked as a precinct inspector during elections where I'm the one in charge of setting up and running a voting location during elections and that's tolerable. Greeting, checking-in voters, and helping them was no problem because it only took about a minute to do that.

As for the phone, anything over two minutes is too long. Just tell me what you want to say and be brief.

One thing I definitely don't like is someone coming over to my home unannounced. I normally don't let anyone in my home so uninvited "guests" are out.

8. I can relate

I get a headache if I am around people too long.
