It was fun, kind of. After two nights of sleeping on the floor, constantly being surrounded by people and listening to endless chatter I was miserable. And then I felt like a bitch for being so irritated on a fun trip.<br /><br />We drove back to Atlanta and then I hopped in my car for the 1.5 hour drive back to my house alone. I drove in silence the whole way because even the radio was too much.<br /><br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00074230173781822860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-54870312325726003812013-08-26T10:10:16.866-04:002013-08-26T10:10:16.866-04:00My antisocial reason for cancelling plans is usual...My antisocial reason for cancelling plans is usually just to not make plans to begin with!

It drives my husband a little crazy, but we can be at a social event and it is like a button is pushed inside me suddenly I am DONE I need to leave NOW and I can no longer function socially. Game over. thanks for playing.<br /><br />I too can go most of the evening after work without talking, also drives my husband nuts. I am comforted just by his presence and he want to TALK! horrors.Christy @ My Dirt Road Anthem: A Runner's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05571125963317402377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-43151259497587952592013-08-26T07:03:30.126-04:002013-08-26T07:03:30.126-04:00I often turn down plans because it means I would h...I often turn down plans because it means I would have to put on real pants and make up. That is a lot of work, just to leave my couch, which I probably don't want to do to begin with.

I will say that I was thrilled when texting was invented and I no longer had to speak to the people with which I was canceling. I was surprised that one wasn't listed in the buzzfeed article!Mariehttp://cheaperthantherapy.menoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-50659489967602774522013-08-25T17:59:02.425-04:002013-08-25T17:59:02.425-04:00Ok, creepy...that's my bed.
Wait a second ...Ok, creepy...that's my bed. <br /><br />Wait a second here....<br /><br /><br />Anyway, I'm getting better at the introvert thing. I can fake it alright now but I still think people find my conversation to be odd at times and my comments to be random. I am still shy-ish when people catch me off guard and start talking to me. I had one guy start talking to me yesterday during the half marathon when I was almost puking at 2 miles in (yea..great race it was) and then he found me after the race and started talking to me again. I just never know what to really say. I start stuttering my words and probably spitting because of my insecurities at that moment as my brain races on how to hold a conversation with a stranger.Sweet and Savory by Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958540100750347527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-24502938241932997992013-08-25T14:23:50.563-04:002013-08-25T14:23:50.563-04:00Hi - I just found your blog.

I often cancel plans out of not wanting to drive, not wanting to pay for whatever the thing is, just wanting to stay home and read or watch TV, knowing there will be at least one person in the group that I'd rather not deal with...I've gotten better over the years, but those instincts to stay home are still there!

My latest mishap was when I found out two new friends of mine smoked - I looked at them and said "But you don't stink! Smokers stink!" both loudly and animatedly. I don't think they were too impressed.<br /><br />I get the introvert thing, I find I too make plans with people and hours before regretting my previous interest in being social. I sometimes come up with a lame excuse, I never actually considered being honest like you did.. It's on my list now!Lesley @ Ramblin Bamblinshttp://ramblinbamblins.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-79704097973409932972013-08-25T10:08:35.095-04:002013-08-25T10:08:35.095-04:00My introverted reasons for canceling plans are ver...My introverted reasons for canceling plans are very similar (okay, exactly) to yours listed above. Going off of your #4: sometimes I don't want to shower until 7 pm. You can't really tell people that. Also, I run in the evening, or I don't want to spend money or my cat "needs" me!

We ran errands for the house, then had dinner, and left the movie a 1/2 hour early because it got too cold & John had it at home! Finished it this morning though, since we fell asleep last night watching it. I was determined to see my outdoor movie this year though. :) <br />Also, I totally know the feeling of the pressure of how much or little sleep I'm going to get. I think that actually keeps me up nights where I think I'm going to run downtown. It causes me not to get to sleep and back out of the run, so annoying. This weekend, I just slept in as late as I wanted- wonderful!Carolynlovestorunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14066619209329494910noreply@blogger.com
