Zee...thanks for sharing the article...man does it describe me to a T.
1. You find small talk incredibly cumbersome. check
2. You go to parties -- but not to meet people. check
3. You often feel alone in a crowd. check
4. Networking makes you feel like a phony. check
6. You're easily distracted. check
7. Downtime doesn't feel unproductive to you....
I even need one after shopping for groceries
9. When you get on the subway, you sit at the end of the bench -- not in the middle...and corner tables in restaurants.
10. You start to shut down after you've been active for too long...3hrs max in a huge gathering...family gatherings are ok
11. You're in a relationship with an extrovert...Hubby is a total extrovert...needs social groups like air.😆
12. You'd rather be an expert at one thing than try to do everything.
13. You actively avoid any shows that might involve audience participation...be it family functions
14. You screen all your calls -- even from friends...and family.
15. You notice details that others don't.
16. You have a constantly running inner monologue.
21. You've been told to "come out of your shell."...infinite times.
My hubby has been very helpful in making me a bit more socially active...so as to not hurt family's feelings.
Before marriage I was all... who cares...for example...
I have 12 cousins all of them got married before me...and I only attended weddings of 4 of them😆...
