literally everyone I know who is an “extrovert” works really hard at it
this is often because they are marginalised in some way in most social situations they find themselves in. they can’t afford to be seen as rude, they have to work twice as hard to be liked half as much
literally everyone finds social situations draining and difficult at times
it’s awesome and useful to talk openly about ways to navigate social anxiety, or social norms that are opaque to you — I think realsocialskills does this well, for example
but if you’ve ever felt like you’re just shy/introverted and those Dang Extroverts just don’t understand and should maybe even check their privilege, I’m asking you really seriously to stop making assumptions about the experiences of people who deal with the world differently to you
