introverts aren’t shy, we’re just tired of nonsense

Okay, real talk. When someone says 'Why are you so quiet?' my internal monologue is usually 'Because I'm conserving my energy for things that actually matter, not for pointless small talk.' It's not shyness, it's just... the sheer effort of engaging with something that drains my battery for zero reward. The social energy tax is real, y'all. And my patience for surface-level convos? Non-existent. Anyone else feel this deep in their soul? #IntrovertLife #EnergyDrain #NoSmallTalk #GenZIntrovert #IYKYK

!!!! THIS. A thousand times THIS. Like, my brain is always running at 100mph but if it's not a deep, meaningful convo or something genuinely interesting, my mouth just... clocks out. Not shy, just selective with my words and my energy. No cap. #Preach

Fr though! I went to a family gathering last weekend and by the end, I felt like I'd run a marathon just from smiling and making polite noises. My social battery was on 0% and I needed like 3 business days to recover. It's not that I don't love them, it's just... exhausting. 🫠
