they’re not always applicable but sometimes they are

Very true, it’s just when I see lists that talk about introverts and use the whole “we don’t” and “we aren’t” language, it makes it seem as though all introverts would agree that this list of things apply to them when they really don’t! It feels like it should always be applicable or else I’m not an introvert, which I guess I find annoying. Though these sorts of lists aren’t always trying to make a blanket statement, I feel smothered.

Sometimes, I do want alone time because I don’t like a person, but they just won’t take the hint. Sometimes, when I say I’m having fun, I’m just being polite! These lists make me feel like someone’s putting an opinion into my mouth, and that feeling sucks.

I do hate talking on the phone, though.
