@introvertdoodles FTW again!
I appreciate that this was written with empathy for the extrovert’s point of view.
(But I’m 100% the person on the right.)
hahahaha the introvert PoV seems so foreign to me! Especially the “no asking questions” and “not staying for dinner” ones. Without context I would take both as super rude and personally offensive.
I don’t ask personal questions to strangers or casual acquaintances because I overthink it. I worry that if I ask about their job it’ll turn out that they’re unemployed and embarrassed about it, or if I ask about their family they’ll be estranged, or something else hideously uncomfortable for small talk.
I’ll sometimes stay for dinner, but sometimes I think people don’t really want me there and just feel obligated to offer. Also I can be a picky eater and I don’t want to make things weird by saying yes and then finding out I hate their food.
