This is a lonely time and too few people have adapted to being on video chats, which means extroverts are lonely.

i do not love being an extrovert. i am also an empath. this combo makes for real difficulty, and often.

So now i recognize my need. To be around people, even if they aren’t my people. i miss the world. i miss overhearing inane conversation. i miss the random chatter of other humans. In an effort to help myself from.. myself, i reach out.

i would like to hold gatherings. Dance parties, crafting, etc. i’m not sure why i haven’t been invited to more happy hours. i am not drinking now precisely because of isolation, but i would like to hang out.

i understand why people are rejecting invitations. i get it and it’s okay. But it’s hard not to notice that every single one of them has at least one peer at home, if not a lover.

Check on your extrovert friends.
