I'm an introvert and work as a psych nurse. I am soooooo drained by the end of the day bc I've been talking to people all day. When I get home I tell my husband I need some time and I spend 30 min in the bathroom, which is the only safe place for me to go anymore with a toddler lol😅

[@syzygy4365]

Im anextrovert with anxiety. I love being around people.

[@sarahc.9566]

I LOVE that this distinction is out there in the world! I feel that people use these terms interchangeably, but they're different things. Of course, they can exist at the same time, but they're not the same thing.

[@JessiKitti]

I feel that way with social anxiety making important phone calls for doctors or stuff like health insurance. I don’t say much and am so worried and what I say is all over the place.

[@nikkimckay860]

@jessikitti. I can completely understand and relate to this comment with my social anxiety I have anxiety taking phone calls talking on the phone

[@queen-yz5ux]

Omg I relate to this sooo much! The only thing that has helped a little is making sure I plan out my conversation as much as I can before making the call.

[@jasonhaughey709]

Me too

[@PhoenixFeathers]

Introvert is what you are, anxiety is what you have. What you are is never a burden to you. What you have can be.

[@meganquinn5747]

I think I'm both.

[@jaclynh9343]

I'm with you there. I feel so anxious at the thought of meeting new people in diff settings. If I'm at work I'm ok because I'm doing a job. When it's voluntary I feel anxious at the thought of interacting. If I'm invited to boyfriend's family gatherings I feel anxious because I feel internally like I'm going to be interrogated + judged OR someone will be a chronic talker + I will become overstimulated + not know how to exit without appearing rude + cutting them off. I tend to want to be alone more than not as I can't be hurt by anyone that way.

[@nikkimckay860]

@meganquinn5747. I'm Nikki just wanted to say I think I'm both too although I'm not sure if I am a introvert but I have social anxiety

[@nikkimckay860]

​@@jaclynh9343I can definitely understand and relate to this because iv been in this situation a lot of times through my life suffering from social anxiety for a few years now has honestly effected my life and changed a lot of things for me in regards to social situations and places

[@nikkimckay860]

Seems I am on my own a lot even when I don't want to be but my social anxiety is at play a lot here 😥

[@meganoreo1839]

It sucks being an extrovert with terrible social anxiety

[@gabrieledawson6064]

I have both. That would be possible, right?

[@arraine]

It turned out to be neither for me. Entering a social situation I didn't have a precedent or script for caused me extreme anxiety (making new friends when starting college for the first time, getting my tires changed for the first time), but situations I knew how to do or where the formula was clearly marked (chatting with people in class, visiting the doctor, accepting phone calls in a Customer Service capacity) are no problem. Anyway one ASD diagnosis later, I understand that I just need to know what the rules are to not panic.

[@platosbeard3476]

I'm fine as long as I know where my towel is

[@cristianmicu]

social anxiety happens for introvert kids.... as an adult introvert, it is quite rare that you manifest social anxiety, UNLESS your denying what you really are... an introvert. when you acknowledge, you no longer fear society.. social anxiety comes from fear that you wont correspond to THEIR rules.. instead live your life as you see fit, NO MATTER what a thousand extroverts around you advice you or worse.. are telling you to''behave'' appropriately

[@_no.one.is.always.right_]

Social anxiety is not a choice.

[@user-lk2rh5bu3w]

I can get the truth with going to a good church. You are not doing any good except bring more anxiety.

[@redrock1963]

I find people draining as I attempt (but fail) to interact with their facades and BS. I struggle to be around wanna bees and fake hero's. I seldom find honest and genuinely confident people........I try to interact on a more superficial level but that's just not me - but it seems that it's all that (most) other people have.
