Are you an introvert or an extrovert? I’m curious! I’m an extrovert
I'm somewhere in between. I'm chatty, polite, and friendly, but I'm also just fine being alone.
If I'm in the mood to talk, I'll talk your ear off. If I'm in the mood for quite or time alone, it can be hard to get me to engage in conversation.

Ahhh, so you’re more like an ambivert, that’s cool! Most of my family are introverts, but my sister is an ambivert. Hahaha I get that 🤣

I'm a hard core introvert. If you meet me in person my social anxiety sky rockets and I just stare at you. I don't know what to say or what to do. All I know is that a hundred thousand things are running through my head and I want to get out of the situation. Online though, I can think about what I want to say and how I want to say it without the awkward pauses that would be evident in real life. I really open up and become a bit more extroverted online. Though I will say I still hate talking about myself. I'd much rather talk about ANYTHING else. I also tend to be more cordial online. Many of my friends first thought I was a CEO taking a lunch break when I met them because of the formal tone I use when online. ;)

Though I have to preface this by saying that I do also have Tourette's syndrome. So social interactions are hard for me.

Relatable tho!!! Im super awkward irl, though a difference between us is that instead of staring at someone bc I’m nervous, I look away and avoid eye contact at all costs lol. If it’s with people I’ve known for a while, I am literally the most chill person. my love language is physical touch, so when I’m with my friend group I hit them playfully sometimes (nah! Most of the time! 🤣)

i know people with Tourette’s, so I totally get that! Personally I have really bad adhd, so when I’m talking to someone, and someone else comes into the room, my eyes drift towards that person, and it leads people to think that I’m not listening to them or that I don’t want to talk bc I’m distracted, but that’s not the case I’m just really squirrelly and ditzy lol.

Christina has pretty bad social anxiety also.
I don't have any social anxiety at all but I'm cynical to the core.
Christina thinks everyone is inherently good till proven otherwise, I assume everyone is inherently bad until proven otherwise. But in my own defense I started paying my own way at 10 years old and I've been pretty much on my own ever since I was 14. I've learned to be super guarded until I lnow someone is a decent person. Once I know you though and decide your ok I'll go to bat for ya.

Relatable. I'm the same way. Everyone is inherently bad until they prove that they aren't and I can trust them. I think it stems from my past and the fact that I have tourett's. So many people hate me just because I'm different.

yeah i relate to that as well, I have trust issues just bc I’ve had bad experiences online thus why I’m so guarded and cautious about what I share lol. I’m becoming a bit more open though. I def trust you more than I did at first nevaeh xD. and that’s so unfair that people do that. Being different is not a bad thing at all! I love how you are open about it and not avoiding talking about it, you are totally awesome!

agreed, 100% man! 🤗

I understand you like no one else. I lost my parents right after finishing school and I had to run the entire household myself, go to university to continue my studies. I had to study and work in 3 places at the same time. It was not easy when you are alone and there is no one with whom you can discuss something. Apparently, independence at an early age imposes this feature in our character. Therefore, I am also very wary of people until I find out what kind of person they are and whether they can be trusted.

I'm not. It built good work ethic and grit. My family was very poor, if I wanted anything I had to work and earn it for myself. Then when they divorced I was already self sufficient and was able to be ok. Fast forward to now and I have had a successful life and I'm happy. I wouldn't change a thing 🙂

I does tend to make us wary, but it also makes us strong, adaptable, capable and gives us an appreciation for things in life that someone that didn't have to work for just don't possess. I find that I gravitate to people like us. We are most often more level headed and grounded, and less prone to foolishness 😉

Aww your profile picture is precious ❤️‍🩹
Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
