#extrovert

1 post1 participant0 posts today

I used to think I was #introverted.

Socializing and public exhausts me, and I eventually get #overstimulated and #anxious and just need to leave, and find some peace alone.

However I think I am actually an #extrovert and socializing exhausts me due to having to constantly fight my #tourettes related tics, which almost never stop, and I have to focus and put effort into fighting, so I don't seem like a total manic.

So I need a break after a while.

I was telling my wife that when I see people sharing what they are up to on social media I get a real sense of FOMO (fear of missing out).

She said that when she thinks about doing social things with friends or strangers she gets FOJI (fear of joining in). :face_laughing_with_sweat_drop_fb:

Apparently JOMO (joy of missing out) is the more common term, but I prefer my wife's new acronym.

What camp are you in?
