I used to be okay with avg level of physical contact, I used to be normal! But idk how it changed, but suddenly I just didn't want to be touched. It can be a hug, an arm over my shoulders or just holding hands (platonic) I didn't like it. Maybe all that time I spent alone cooped up in my room during the covid period made me isolate myself more... How can I overcome this? submitted by /u/Winter0_0Blues [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I swear, this is a constant problem. All my """friends""" always go like 'oh, dude, you gotta talk more, you're too quiet' etc etc... But whenever I do fucking talk, I always get ridiculed, not be taken seriously or shut down. What the fuck? I know for a fact that what I'm saying isn't silly, others say the same shit but they ARE taken seriously. Better yet, when I speak about similar shit to other people (non-close friends) I don't get ridiculed. I guess it stems from my stigma of being quiet? Oh yeah, of course, the issue is tenfold when there's a woman in the circle. I guess I'm just getti ..read more

M, 31 living in the UK. Huge introvert and love my alone time. These days I'm mostly working, but on my days off I'm just at home by myself and I love it. I am aware though that I am very much missing out on 'life', for example: -Never had a proper girlfriend, as was worried about committing. -Therefore, haven't had sex in over 10 years. -Not been to any fun event, holiday, outing in at least 2/3 years. My life consists of living in a rented flat solo, working from home 9am-5pm on my work laptop and leaving the house once a week for a grocery shop. Staying in my own comfort bubble. No hobbies ..read more

I (46F) went to the beach for 2 days BY MYSELF for the first time ever and LOOOOOVED IT!!!! I'm really sad (devastated) about my only child going to college in a couple years, so I thought I'd be crying the whole time, but I didn't. I work from home and just felt like I needed a change of scenery. I've always known I was an introvert and this past weekend definitely proved it! Just thought I'd share. :) submitted by /u/GoldenSunSparkle [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I was wondering if anyone else feels satisfied or relieved after a brief interaction goes well? Like going into a store and making a quick purchase and the interaction with the cashier goes smoothly and there was no awkward moments or silence, or running into someone you know and having a brief interaction that made you think "I could have passed for an extrovert just then, that went well." As opposed to the unsure awkwardness that would normally happen lol. submitted by /u/Saul_ito [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Went for a walk today with a small group of people I met on discord. Among them was a girl who just constantly talked for like 2 hours straight. I was so drained at the end. Every time you tried to have a conversation she would eventually take it over and just keep rambling on and on about something that slightly resembles what the rest of us were just talking about. This happens so often. People who just talk, talk and talk some more. Rarely anything interesting ever comes out, and rarely do they ask questions themselves or really give you the opportunity to speak. The older I get the less t ..read more
