but yes, this is true. And it is not something you can build up like a muscle or long distance running. In fact I think trying to build up the amount of time you socialize actually diminishes it
- zimpenfish 2y ago> not if they have social anxiety I have (frequent) crippling social anxiety, am definitely an introvert, and I can be social -in the right circumstances-[0] (albeit for a limited period of time[1].) [0] eg. small group of people I know well, familiar surroundings, ideally without a lot of external noise. [1] 3-4 hours tends to be my limit even under the best circumstances.
- michaelcampbell 2y agoEverything is true except for the edge cases where it's not; pointing this out I think is unnecessary.
- fnord77 2y agoif something is true everywhere except the edge cases, it is not true everywhere.
- michaelcampbell 2y agoNo one said it was true everywhere.
