I know. You want to share every detail of your life. I don’t get a choice in the matter without feeling like a monster.
So I listen, I cry a little bit, I beg the gods to kill me, I listen some more. I feel bad and I don’t want you to hurt.
As an introvert, everything I deal with, I deal with alone. I like it that way.
It’s my empathy. I know I need it, but I don’t want it.
I just want to be alone. That’s all I want.
I want that so bad, but I’m in a spot that just begs for company.
I take care of my kids and I think, “man, tomorrow is Sunday. I can get some much needed alone time at work.” I convince myself every week and then here comes an extrovert. “Let’s talk about everything. How is your life?” “Oh you know, just sitting around begging the universe to let me play a single player game without being interrupted.” “Oh, neat. Games. So any way, that girl I was telling you about. Folks are saying she is talking to another guy, but I think she’s….”
GODDAMN IT LET ME BE ALONE OR LET ME DIE!!!
Sorry to be dramatic. I really really really need to be alone for a day so so so bad.
My extrovert friends are so goddamn needy.

I feel your pain
Real question, I get it’s hard to avoid people at work, or because of accompanying your kids to things, but having friends? That’s on you.
You could just, not, have extroverted friends. They’re not needy, you just value different things in a friendship.
