How about stop feeling sorry for being yourself.

Well yes and no. If I know that I have this proclivity it’s on me to plan accordingly. I usually know better and reserve time but I forgot to yesterday.

But from their point of view they’ve just been snubbed after working up the courage to ask. It’s uncomfortable to be rejected.

That’s why it’s the introverted that so often is labeled offensive.

From http://introvertspring.com/thing-introverts-do-that-piss-off...

> I don’t think constantly adapting our behavior to please extroverts is the answer. Helping people understand introversion is a far better approach.

And by "helping to understand introversion" I would suggest to first check your own MBTI personality type and - if possible - let your social partners do the test as well. But as I know Extraverts, they don't give a shit about "deeper" stuff. So the interaction stays superficial and I just stopped caring how they interpret my behaviour.

You can make the test here: https://www.16personalities.com

I = 22%, N = 88%, F = 12%, J = 33%

I am attempting to inform via my blog post; I am not changing me just taking responsability for me.

And thank you for responding!
