What makes it even harder is that extroverts enjoy the normalization (monetization?) of their proclivities while we're stuck justifying and explaining ourselves to people who aren't even trying to understand why it's so f'n hard to get ready for ANOTHER THING. I'm done with it. Sometimes I wonder if what we're getting at here is the roots of the whole Dunning-Krueger phenomenon.

Yup, this is 100% me! I work in a school (though, admittedly in a role where I can sometimes retreat to my office and I teach seven fitness classes per week.... I enjoy both of those jobs, but in my free time, I really just love staying home and NEED to do so to restore my energy. Apparently I am good at playing an extrovert but I am not one!
