can't relate.

But I am in awe of extroverts, honestly. I don't know how you do it. I love people, from afar. But interacting with them is often so draining for me. I can do it, years of customer service experience does that to a person but it's just SO MUCH sometimes.

I really have to plan and give myself time when I have to deal with people and absolutely need a break of some absolute solitude when I'm done. Like I've dropped the animals off at my parent's house after big events (conferences and such) because even my sweet babies, who I love more than life itself, annoy the everloving fuck out of me when I'm drained from peopleing.

It feels so imposing to be who I am.

I can relate. I often feel like an annoyance to my housemates. I complain about meat and cars and sexism, constantly. They do those things, constantly. We impose on each other with our words, yet, the need for idle talk remains. A house full of extroverts and no one likes what the other has to say. Like a clown booked for a funeral, funny and sad all at once.

I look forward to your posts on raddle. I bet other people do too. Your presence can't be an burden if people are asking for it.

I know message boards aren't exactly a replacement for IRL interactions, but whenever I'm feeling social and I got no one around that would appreciate my brain diarrhea, I hop online and shitpost. I've been posting more lately. Perhaps I should find new housemates? Harder to do when the housemates are family.
