I will reply to both of you tomorrow (when I'm sober) but I just want to say thank you for sharing your thoughts

Fuck it's weird being a different timezone - I'm just about to get started!!

What's the Canadian drink of choice then?

I've just been on the wine. Got stupid emotional at Encanto and cried even though I've seen it before

I'm having different ones everytime I go out!

Much to my sister's annoyance, who just wants to drink tea 24/7.

I'm not sure we're actually related...

I have a friend who - whenever we go out to a restaurant, especially to an Indian for some reason - always asks for a cup of tea! Like why?

No!!! Why, indeed!?!

People are weird.

All my favourite people are at least a little weird.

One of my walks goes past a cricket pitch and today there was a women's game underway - mostly teenagers AND two left-handed bowlers. Stereotypes smashed It made me very happy

It sounds like a lot of posting, while enjoyable, can leave you needing some quiet. I think that’s perfectly normal, especially for introverts.

Sorry Ang, it was a bonus day off for the schools yesterday and I didn't have a chance to come back to this.

Oh I'm definitely an introvert. It just sucks that I get social anxiety even online! Very annoying.

What do you mean when you say it always feels like you should be doing the opposite? For example, do you feel overwhelmed by a lot of posting? Guilty or missing out if you’re not?

Yeah overwhelmed. But also I worry that I'm saying or doing the wrong thing. Like I'm being serious when it's a silly topic or vice versa. I do feel guilty too because I enjoy this weird, pervy corner of the net very much but I just can't be as present as I'd like to be. But I'm working on finding a balance.

I’m also an overthinker and far from my own best cheerleader. I often find myself in a similar situation, where I am craving both active interaction and quiet observation. But I think my feelings stem more from the pull between taking chances and interacting and the safety of staying in my comfort zone and being more of an observer who mainly leaves reactions.

Staying in your comfort zone is a good way to describe things. I started joining in more to get myself out of mine and over time I've slowly retreated.
Wish I could just adjust the settings in my brain you know so I wouldn't focus on stuff like this that probably doesn't even matter.

Believe it or not I'm actually an introvert who has just learned to pretend to be (mask as) an extrovert.

You'll have to share your wisdom! I've tried to do that before to fake it til I make it, but never quite managed to get the hang of it

God I'm almost extremely social here compared to in person. But like only once every three or four days or something. Then I need a break

No but actually..
I was in bed the other night and rolled over and felt this awful pain in my collar bone area. Next morning it was swollen. Now I'm on anti inflammatories and waiting for blood test results to see if my thyroid is ok or if I did just fail at sleeping...
