53 Introvert Memes From This Tumblr Account That Knows Alone Time Is The Best Time

Add as a preferred source on Google

Listen, I’m not anti-social. I’m selectively social, which is a completely different and very sophisticated thing.

I will absolutely show up to your party, I just need to know the exact headcount, a rough breakdown of who’s attending, whether there’s a quiet corner I can retreat to when the small talk gets to be too much, and a firm understanding that I can leave at any point without it being A Whole Thing.

Is that so much to ask?

The truth is, introverts get a bad rap. We’re not hiding under our blankets 24/7 (okay, maybe most of the day, but that’s beside the point). We just like to operate on our own terms.

Give me a gathering where I know every face in the room, a clear exit strategy, and a socially acceptable reason to leave by 9pm, and I am thriving.

The folks over at @introvertsnation on Tumblr truly get it, and they’ve put our entire personality into meme form.

Whether you’re the person who needs to mentally prepare for a phone call three days in advance or the one who feels genuine relief when plans get cancelled, these memes are for you.

Grab your tea, get back in your blanket fort, and enjoy.
