    and you sit there posting this shit for up votes? Yeah don’t fall off that high horse…

    when you’re misusing it as a ‘meme’ to then miseducate others on what social anxiety is vs introvert personality trait. I’ve seen people shirk off their social anxiety and not get help for it and think it’s a cute ‘introvert’ joke they tell everyone around them. Meanwhile red flags and thrusting assholishness everywhere. Ghosting- “Tee hee introvert aren’t I cute?” Lashing out and then leaving a train wreck of a party behind “oh this is exhausting. I’m going home cuz such an introvert!” Making their friends worry about them so they can feel important but not let anyone know they are ok “oh you know me I’m just an introvert so I had to bail”

    You’re not helping people with social anxiety and cluster related disorders by mushing the terms together just for updoots. You’re making it worse. as far as I care for your updoot value for it, think again. You’re the one seriously taking this shit too far.

      Just stop talking out your ass about things you clearly know nothing about. You clearly don’t understand introversion OR anxiety and are lecturing a very self-analytic introvert with social anxiety.

      The only one making anything worse is you thinking that overwhelmed people needing to temporarily withdraw from you and/or others are just using “excuses” to shirk some imagined ability to accommodate you.

      Joking about your issues in a self-deprecating way like in the OP (which I wasn’t the one who posted, not that it should matter) is a way of cheering yourself up by seeing the light side of it and/or feeling less alone by being reminded that other people are going through similar things and are similarly misunderstood.

      In the end, though, it’s just a harmlessly fun relatable meme 🤷

          I’m not calling you out for upvotes, I’m calling you out because you’re being an arrogantly wrong and trying to paint ME as the problematic ones for not feeling sorry for how inconvenient the introversion and anxiety of others is to you.

          Nice try doing the “I have no counterargument so I’m just gonna pretend that the other guy is being emotional for internet points as if that would have made me right about anything” gambit, but this ain’t my first rodeo.
