I think it’s about time that I went ahead and said it: I’m an introvert and that’s just the way it is. I like to go out once in a while, but sometimes I’ll spend a couple of weeks inside my house, just working and avoiding the rest of the world.
Are you like this at all?
If so, these tweets will look very familiar.
1. I think you might be mistaken.
Somebody told me I looked familiar but I only go out in public like once every ten years so we probs haven’t met.

3. Don’t analyze it.
I can’t tell u how many times I’ve had people interrogate me about “what’s wrong” “u look sad” “r u mad” and try to analyze my facial expressions…
It’s. just. my. face. stop!#introvertproblems

4. Here comes the panic.
Running into a friend in public as an introvert is both exciting and problematic because you want to be all “Yay! Friend!” but inside you keep thinking “I am not prepared for this! Panic!!!!!!!! ?” #introvertproblems

6. Nah, I’ll pass.

Employee: Sir, can I help you find anything?
Me: No, I’m good.

7. Let’s be honest.
Friends: "We missed you at dinner the other night."
Me: "I was planning to go but then I remembered I didn't want to." #BestCancellationExcuses#introvertproblems

8. Over and over and over.
Does anyone else constantly re-evaluate how you say your own name when introducing yourself to people? Or after? No, just me? Lol Ok then ? #introvertproblems

10. I like this platform.
I’m running for president as the candidate for the Introvert Party. My first two orders of business will be abolishing all small talk and providing noise cancelling headphones to all who fly any airline.

11. Gotta mix it up.
I didn’t think there were so many different ways to say “no thank you” until I started turning down invitations to social events. #introvertproblems

13. Thank you for this gift.
Had someone invite me to their birthday but immediately say, "I know you're not the biggest fan of a lot of people in a little space. So no pressure."
This. This is the gift every introvert deserves.

14. A lot of work went into this.
Do you like weekends with plans?
I do not like them, Sam-I-Am
I do not like weekends with plansWould you like them here or there?
I would not like them here or there
I would not like them anywhere
I do not like weekends with plans
I do not like them, Sam-I-AmMe as Dr. Seuss

15. Yeah…not gonna happen…
The best and weirdest feeling is when..you spot someone you know in public and you decide that you aren't going to acknowledge them.

Are you an introvert? Does the thought of heading out into public sometimes give the willies?
