Staying in, books are your best friend, loving your quiet space, animals over people, cancelling plans to stay in bed, small circle of friends etc etc etc
Maybe those are the things you've come to associate with introverts. The internet has created this pretty little aesthetic of introverted people. Making it seems easy dealing with life, like everyone would just understand why suddenly you're tired and less talkative in the middle of conversation, wanting to see your friends but you've used up all your social energy for the week. It all seems trivial and like something everyone goes through. Being on the internet makes you feel like you're valid and people understand you, but in real life they often don't and you're more often than not will be disappointed.
In real life, it sucks. Bad time. You can't help feeling guilty over something you cannot control. It sucks when you love going out, love seeing your friends but you can't, simply because you'd hate being there having to force a conversation and pretend like it doesn't exhaust your mind and body. Spending time with the same person again and again for a week straight 24/7 makes you uncomfortable and want to run away. Sometimes you go missing for weeks and don't reply to people's text unless necessary, refusing to talk more than three words to people and you feel bad about it. Meeting new people is hard. Having to form new relationships are the hardest. It's tiring. Certain people think you're just obnoxious, selfish, arrogant, I've heard it all. People often assume introverts in general hate people. No, some really love people and most enjoy social events and gatherings to some extend. It just sucks that your life is limited to these battery like shit where you ran out of power faster than the average person and takes longer time to recharge it back full.
It sucks it just sucks all around.
