Because Pingu has his arms crossed??

I hate the notion that being an introvert means to be shy.

You can be talkative, charming, and charismatic and be an introvert. It’s all how you recharge your social battery.

I consider myself to be an introvert, but I am not a shy person. At times I can be, but that has nothing to do with me being introverted, more like being insecure or anxious in that moment.

I love hanging with my friends, talking to new people, going to open mics or karaoke but when I do, I need time to myself, recharge, and be alone for a few days afterwards.

Does a library count?

I know! like what the effing loving fuck?!? shut up about how completely perfect your life is except when you have to talk to diane at the office when…/s

This is so good.

For me it’s about having something relevant to say.

The urge to talk just so you can make a dumbass point contributes nothing to the conversation.

You mean making the zone uncomfortable for them

Having a general policy of “I just want to be left alone” is too complicated for people to handle.
