Food is so good.. how do you stop eating..
Not the hero we deserved, but the hero we needed.

Same here. I've "learned" extroversion but can only keep it up for a few hours at a time. Consecutive days of in person do a real number on me.

I like that you say you “learned” it. I feel like that. I can do it, but it’s not what energizes me.
So introverted that when I do too many things with too many people in a day I find myself staying up late just to have some me time. My sleep schedule is fucked.
KPMG1 I do the same!

Me too. Very capable but it drains me. Really don’t mind being at alone. If you work and social life are rewarding, no need to worry.

Define social life.

I routinely throw myself multiple birthday parties and my “intimate” birthday party usually has about 20 people at it. 😬😬😬

I’d be the one sound asleep in the corner, due to maximum input capacity overload 😂😂
Yes, I try to limit the number of hours I spend with other people
I'm so introverted I declined going to our weekend rager. I can't handle any more than 5-6 people and, even then, I have to like them...

I am very extroverted when i’m in the company of my friends but when i’m in a corporate social event i feel and want to be completely invisible because I don’t wanna talk to anyone. I’m just gonna hold this beer for an hour and stand, laugh in other people’s jokes, nod and smile, and then bolt. it’s so awkward. It takes months for me to warm up to someone and feel comfortable talking/sharing things.

Extro/introversion has nothing to do with social anxiety, just whether or not it energizes you!
I’ve gotten better the last couple years, but I really hate going to company social events alone where I don’t know many people (I wfh with a small group).
Similar to SC1 and M2, it takes a lot for me to even make it to the event itself and many times I will accept the invite and then cancel the day of…not a good look but it causes me so much anxiety and I really hate small talk with people I don’t like or care to get to know better. This probably sounds harsh, but I don’t mean it that way. Just takes a while to feel comfortable chatting with someone new and putting my energy into them.
Already kind of dreading the invite to the Xmas party I received, but then again…I probably won’t end up going 😆

I think I'm somewhere in the middle. I love being alone but at the same time i love being around some people. I like work people and people from my business school but not my old friends because i feel like they're still stuck in 2014
I’m a functional introvert. I will attend the things that need attending at work and be boisterous, keep up with friends, etc. but I am absolutely wiped afterwards and just want to be at home or alone. I have meetings all day and even talking that much is exhausting. But at least its remote!
I’m not good at finance and I started off as a web developer which was pretty perfect.
