Sometimes I wonder if my (sometimes) extreme introversion is unwillingness to suppress my sensory issues. I understand we’re all getting into our masking/unmasking era, and that introversion is really just a way of being in opposition to certain performances of capitalism (go grad-school girl) BUT perhaps the energy suck that is interpersonal engagement is just the battery depletion at trying to appear fucking normal all the time.
I don’t think this is particularly new or insightful, but just wanted to get it down.
