Introvert Agrees to Go Out, Regret Ensues

Oh god. You’ve made (aka agreed to) plans and you immediately want to cancel them. Why? Because it feels fantastic.

The inherent problem with plans in 2022 is that they’re so dang easy to make. Gone are the days of ringing someone up to either make or break plans. Plans are coming at you from every direction. Email invites, Facebook groups, texts, DMs, it’s freakin endless. As an introvert, you’re likely a people pleaser, but also, someone that needs time to make decisions (a scientifically-based signature trait of an introvert).

That said, find solace in and rest assured that the person on the other end of said plans is likely happy about your flakiness. Welcome to the future where almost all people (both introverts & extroverts) don’t really want to go outside.

For better or worse, screen-culture is converting loud talking and outside-wanna-going extroverts into docile homebodies by the minute. Woo!
