talking is suffering by Deku_Face

Ehh sorry but i need to vent a bit,,

So, tbh, I really just wish some people would chill when it comes to me talking to them. What extroverts just don't understand is how exhausting communication is for introverts. It is so draining, that I feel physically sick after a day of talking to other people. It's that bad. But that doesn't mean we hate talking.

I'm not mad, or complaining about being messaged, because I'm trying really hard to be more social and to get better at talking to people.
But some tend to get offended if I don't answer immediately or blow them off when I'm clearly online. I feel bad about it, but again I'm trying my best. I shouldn't have to feel bad, or to lie in order to keep from hurting someone's feelings when I don't want to talk to them.

This isn't directed at any one person, it actually happens with a lot of people, most of whom probably won't see this. So, if I've done this to you, please understand I don't hate you, I just really need a rest or I'll have a breakdown every night,,,,

I'm very introverted irl though online I've gotten better qvq though I still shy away from conversations when I wanna be alone so to say. It's totally relatable though so preach as Milk said lol

I feel you, Kohai. There was a time when I was really social online, but still awkward irl. God bless you guys ;;

This is kind of relatable for me, I try to be more social online but some people just don't understand that I need a break sometimes. Especially irl.

Same tbh. I get super tired of talking after about 5 minutes lnao. I think I've driven people away bc of this tbh and it makes me sad??? But then again it's not something I can really control and I'm glad to the people who put up with me disappearing midway of the conversation xD

Legit tho holy hecc >v> I wish this was more widely understood, because you shouldn't have to apologize,, like it really isn't something you can control. I mean, I can understand why people turn away, but like if only they knew it wasn't because I hate them because I don't? <xD

I used to be a lot more introverted, and honestly, I'm a socially anxious extrovert, so i get the struggle for both sides, lol. i don't normally outright message people anyway, though, because I'm terrible at small talk.

Your style is adorable! and I relate. I've got the shy syndrome.
