People SWEAR I'm extroverted. I learned as child it was only way to function in social spaces. No one interacts with the quiet person, and nothing gets accomplished if EVERYONE is too afraid to step out and be uncomfortable. It's effective, but exhausting for me.

110% me. I worked in bands for years and I’ve said forever that I’d rather be on stage in front of 2000 people than at a dinner party with 6. It’s literally the only place where I know who I’m supposed to be.

Never tried theater until I was in my 40s and joked with one of the other actors that I was nervous being around all these extroverts. She laughed and said, “Oh, no… Almost all of us here are introverts. We’re just not being ourselves - we’re all acting.”

My nickname for 15 yrs at work was “The Fixer”. If you had a problem, I would solve it. But I worked myself into the position of never being able to be wrong or make a mistake. It got to be A LOT. 😳

This hit hard I realized fairly recently I’m not a natural extrovert I’m very good at peopleing but it’s not what I want to do. I don’t even know what is under the mask or how to find out to be honest.

If I'm funny, then it's ok for me to be there. If I'm useful, then I'm not wasting space.

I larp at work, I tell dad jokes, get people talking about them selves and better days. It is a critical job skill in healthcare. It is hard work but I like that person better than myself.

Im so used to being teased and laughed at and made fun of for being weird at some point I decided if people are gonna laugh at me I might as well have control over it
