    there isn’t really “such thing” as an “introvert.”

    This is something non-introverts say. I promise if you fit the label you’d understand its usefulness.

      That’s some fantastic examples of clinging to labels which I am speaking against. As someone who managed to stop feeling the need to be isolated, stopped feeling social anxiety and social exhaustion as rapidly, I know quite a lot about the work it takes to change, and how you look back and realize that it’s not mature or helpful to use these kinds of labels to describe yourself or anyone else.

        You weren’t an introvert then, you had social anxiety. Stop applying your experience to my life.

          Stop applying your experience to my life.

          You have to understand how this sounds from the outside.

          Sees something that doesn’t apply to me

          Feels personal space violated.

          But hey, whatever you need to tell yourself to avoid hope. Bye.
