    There’s introverts and then there’s extreme social anxiety. They’re not the same.

      introversion & social anxiety are frequently comorbid for extremely obvious reasons. there’s no reason to gatekeep introversion.

      I’m just an introvert with ADHDand I agree with this meme. This is especially true after a long day of work. I do not have extreme anxiety or any anxiety in a social situation. I just find them exhausting.

        True for me as well. After a day of peopleing having a phone call too is exalhausting. But on a day off doing a few calls is a non issue for me.

        I’m the exact same, except I also have terrible anxiety, so that covers both the control and the test… damn who knew this meme didn’t need gatekeepers?
