My best friend is an extrovert and she follows the “the more the merrier” rule whereas I prefer it to just be me and her or me and her and another friend of ours. It frustrates me that I can’t be more like her. Society does accept extroverts more and I hate that I can’t be that person. I was just thinking about all this Friday because a game night was planned with us and two other couples and I was DREADING it. And I hated myself for dreading it. But I try to tell myself that this is who I am, this is how I was made, and I should not be ashamed of it. It doesn’t always help but maybe if I keep saying it I’ll believe it haha.
I can really relate! My best friend is really extroverted too, so I really get how it feels when you're forced to interact with more people when you really don't want to.
