And I always end up with a clinger... I'm very much an introvert, and I want to be alone pretty often, but I really don't like saying no to people that are just looking to have fun so I get incredibly stressed with multiplayer games... I'm not an interesting person and I often have no desire to say anything, but then you're just sitting there on voice coms but completely quiet... Even more stressful...
Last time I gave someone I didn't know a shot was helldiver's and I was never able to play solo again... So I just stopped playing.
Excuse me, are you me?! Being an uninteresting introvert and guilty for it is my spirit animal anyway…
Facts. It's hard to balance my desire for both interaction and autonomy with my compassion for others seeking the same thing, but when it begins to encroach on my autonomy and sense of freedom I find it a quickly stifling feeling.
As someone who has had the same kind of thoughts, please don't think like that, it's not helpful at all. You're more interesting than you give yourself credit for.
I appreciate that, but I tend to be pretty decent at introspection. I'm very boring. It's ok though not everyone needs to be The World's Most Interesting Man. lol
