Apropos nothing, have a small thread about the care and feeding of socially anxious extroverts:

Basically I - and a lot of other socially anxious extroverts - spend a lot of time feeling like giant doggos surrounded by tiny kittens: clumsy, taking up too much space, too enthusiastic, too big, too loud, and never sure we're meant to be quite where we are, even if we like it.

All of which is a way of saying, it goes a long way with socially anxious extroverts if you take the time to reassure us that you enjoy our noisy friendship, clarify when you need space instead of ghosting, and otherwise just be explicit about your needs and preferences.

The last thing I want to be is the type of extrovert who steamrolls over other people, bullies friends into activities they don't enjoy, bombards busy folk with messages and otherwise makes a selfish nuisance of myself, but my brain isn't always reliable, so I need help.
