Community Series: Introverts & Personal Space
#1
Hello again everyone.

This one's going to be a bit more vague than the previous, which was about apologizing. I stumbled upon a picture this morning that resonated pretty intimately with me, and I thought I'd share it. I know we have plenty of people here on CotH who are introverts, or just very reserved, withdrawn or shy individuals who don't necessarily fall all the way into that pocket. Either way, this image I want to share still applies and holds a lot of wisdom that can enrich the lives of plenty who haven't seen it before, or texts or images with similar messages. To see previous discussion on the forums about Introverts, see the thread by @Kirabo, located here.


And that's about all, for now. Feel free to discuss it here, whether you're an introvert or not. I know that the "personal space" issue the image so subtly pokes at is something we see a lot of online, primarily because emotion and intention just don't translate well into writing. I feel the information can come in handy, for that reason. It might make people think twice and be more mindful of how they approach others. Even their friends.

Love,
Loxxy

I saw this the other day. THis is sooooo painfully true. It's unbelievably true. I am the bubble-man.

I would consider myself an introvert offline but an extrovert online (and especially in RP). I would be more outgoing if I have more control in choosing the people I wish to be around, but I don't.

I would consider myself pretty social both in RL and online, but I'm still an introvert. Social interaction for me is very costly, and I especially recognize the part about the other party making demands of certain commitments that scare me away because I don't know if I can manage to spare that much on a regular basis, or I just can't make ends meet that day because I wasn't planning on spending the energy on a certain person or activity. I know I have a certain amount to spend every day, and even then... I'd rather not have to bleed myself dry every day, either. It's exhausting, so if I have energy left when the day ends, that's good. I don't like to end the day feeling drained and with things still left undone.

When I find myself in situations where it's expected of me to be social, I am. Most of the time, anyway. I can converse and keep up with the going-ons while maintaining a cheerful facade, but eventually I'm going to retreat into myself or to another room altogether and then crash on the nearest bed or couch when I return home to my "safe zone", so to speak. Online, I just fall very silent if I have the option to. Sometimes I will carefully turn people away for the time being if they're asking for more than I have to spare. I end up spending it in some place I didn't expect to in the end, anyway. At least, usually.

I need a bigger bucket.

Ah, I've seen this one! It's really good, although a bit over-dramatic. Perhaps even to the point of comedy. But still, it's meant to raise awareness, not present scientific facts.

And yes, I prefer reading books to talking to people. Books are very rarely stupid.
"Good roleplaying is not equivalent to saying that your character is not interested or molded for a certain situation.
Quite the contrary - good roleplaying is making up a reason for your character to do that thing, no matter the obstacles!"
