Anonymous: why aren’t you as active recently??? I check your page 15+ times a day
Hi sweetheart!
I decided to leave tumblr, so I won’t be posting anymore. I feel like it’s not giving me anything to spend my time here and I no more have people here to talk to, so it became a sad place that didn’t give me anything. I appreciate that you noticed my absence, it’s always great to hear that someone liked my blog, thank you for that.
If you want to talk, I’d love to hear from you. And I’m sorry if I’m replying late, I have no idea when you sent me this. Take care xx
If you force an introvert into a social gathering they don’t feel comfortable with/don’t want to go to you are responsible for their good time.
You have to include them in conversations or go sit with them when they have no one to talk to.
Because if you can’t do that, don’t make them come. Don’t force them in a situation where they feel alone and helpless and leave them floundering.
“But it’s good for them to get out.” You’re not making me adapt. You’re not making me more social. You’re reinforcing every negative opinion I have on these gatherings and giving me the resolve to say ‘Fuck off’ the next time you try this.
I would also like to add to this rule. Do not trap them there. Make sure they have a way to get home without you or you are willing to take them home if they feel uncomfortable. Even if you do spend time with them and make sure they have a good time let them leave if they want. Social interaction even with people they know and like can be tiring and they can’t always keep up with extroverts.
Reblogging for important addition
just…respect your friends’ boundaries. what the fuck. is this something that you guys actually need to hear? don’t force your friends into situations where you know they’re going to have a bad time and be uncomfotable. because. that. makes . you. A . BAD. FRIEND.
school is like strangers living in the same home, except that strangers might remain strangers, become the best people you’ve met or possibly the worst
