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 doesnāt 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 ābut Iāll be tired cuz Iām an introvertā your issues are far deeper than a personality trait. People with just an introvert trait and nothing underneath it donāt use such an excuse to cover just their trait. They donāt 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.
Again, reading way too much into it while also being a bit of a judgmental and ableist ass š¤·
and you sit there posting this shit for up votes? Yeah donāt fall off that high horse..
when youāre misusing it as a āmemeā to then miseducate others on what social anxiety is vs introvert personality trait. Iāve seen people shirk off their social anxiety and not get help for it and think itās a cute āintrovertā joke they tell everyone around them. Meanwhile red flags and thrusting assholishness everywhere. Ghosting- āTee hee introvert arenāt I cute?ā Lashing out and then leaving a train wreck of a party behind āoh this is exhausting. Iām going home cuz such an introvert!ā Making their friends worry about them so they can feel important but not let anyone know they are ok āoh you know me Iām just an introvert so I had to bailā
Youāre not helping people with social anxiety and cluster related disorders by mushing the terms together just for updoots. Youāre making it worse. as far as I care for your updoot value for it, think again. Youāre 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 š¤·
Look at you cry now cuz you didnāt get your upvote.
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.
