the fun thing is when you get it reversed so you can't do ANYTHING that ISN'T the phd "yes hello? social interaction, you say? sorry i'm booked till 2021"

People don’t seem to get that social interaction that is conversation esp with multiple people is just maddening sometimes and requires a lot of attention. I often just not do things so I can work but then I can’t focus on work and it’s the worst.

I've realized I categorize socializing as like a third category that is neither work nor relaxing -- like it's fun and i know i need it but damn if i don't need a break after

YES. When I tell people it is mentally exhausting and I have to prepare...it’s like “whaaaaa?”

Yes! I'm just lucky my wife's an introvert so we've developed signals for when it's time to GTFO of a social situation lol

Man I’m from a family of introverts
they still wanna talk for hours, but they hate big social stuff too. Thankfully “I’m tired” is a good excuse for any occasion.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

Maybe, but idk. There’s a high status placed on “visiting” in my family. My brothers get a pass because they are a decade older than me and have jobs and cars. If I’m here I’ve only ever been with my mom, so I don’t get an excuse I guess?

Hmm yeah, that's a pickle. My family are all workaholics so we hang out for a bit, go to different rooms and do computer things all day, then reconvene for food at various intervals. it's great
