      It’s both and either. Even if you DON’T have social anxiety, hanging out with people too much is exhausting for an introvert.

        it doesn’t mean they have issues with socialiIng. Introvert is a personality trait. Not a personality disorder. If you are feeling anxious at the mere mention of socializing and using the ol ‘but I’ll be tired cuz I’m an introvert’ your issues are far deeper than a personality trait. People with just an introvert trait and nothing underneath it don’t use such an excuse to cover just their trait. They don’t let a trait run their life.

          Dude, you’re reading way more into a meme than there is in it. The pic doesn’t say anything about “feeling anxious at the mere mention of socializing”.

          It’s just about having fun alone with a pizza and cats, which you don’t have to have anxiety to prefer over a crowd of people.

          Source: was an introvert since puberty and social anxiety is a lot more recently. Pre-anxiety me wouldn’t have been anxious about people but would have found this kind of party preferable a lot of the time because people are exhausting when you’re an introvert.

          use such an excuse to cover just their trait. They don’t let a trait run their life.

          Again, reading way too much into it while also being a bit of a judgmental and ableist ass 🤷

            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.
