I enjoy being an introvert

Who doesn't, right? I enjoy doing things that are one/two people. If the crowd gets too big, I start to feel smothered and anxious. For that reason, concerts and music festivals are typically out for me. I enjoy music, and I love seeing the stuff they do to make them spectacular, but I don't like being around all those strangers. Anybody else feel like that?

I enjoy it except when people try to make you feel guilty about it or force you to be extroverted. I wish that there was some device, extroverts could wear see what it's like to be us and vice versa, we could see what it's like to be extroverts so we can understand how they're able to talk so much without stopping to breath and how it feels to drain the energy from everyone around them

That's a good idea! I have days where I'm totally extroverted, but when I hit my limit it's like one second I'm extra, and the next I'm like "nope I'm done. Going home."

Exactly! And my personal bubble gets smaller, which makes me nervous. When I'm comfortable with people, my bubble is really small. But people I don't know? Nope. It's big.

Hi Pamela. Me too, I like being an introvert. It is more fun and not that toxic.

(Raising my hand) I do! I do! I am quite the introvert. Crowds make me a bit nervous. I enjoy just being by myself and doing what I like in peace and quiet. I love humanity but I can't stand people for some reason.
