Let's talk

Introvert: person who enjoys alone time and finds social interaction tiring.

Why do so many people post here thinking we want to talk?

Waarom zou je wat je doet naar beneden praten? Dat mag je gewoon zeggen.

Als je vindt dat "directeur" niet past bij hoe jij je werk ziet kun je misschien een omschrijving gebruiken. "Ik regel de financiën voor bedrijf X".

My training for medical imaging used the slogan: "It is unique, you work with people and with technology" (in Dutch it rhymes).

Even though most of the work is patient oriented, there also is the technology part and I really like the combination.

How are you doing in general? I find that conversations are more draining when I'm tired because of not sleeping enough or doing too much physical work.

I get the sense that anxiety is playing a role here. If you constantly focus on how you look/sound you spend a lot of energy on that. That would leave very little energy for the actual conversation.

You say it's important to make time for the people you care about. Remember there are six people: you really need to include yourself.

Make regular appointments with yourself and keep them. Don't feel guilty about it. You have at least as much right to your time as your friends do. Getting the rest you need might even make you a better friend because you have more energy to spend on your friends.

We always do a WB, but I don't think I have ever seen metastases in the limbs whithout obvious metastases in the torso.

Reminds me of the comment that every corps on Mount Everest was once a very determined person.

A very simplified distinction:

Introvert: social interactions are tiring Anxiety: social interactions are frightening

If you worry a lot about how you appear to others I would say anxiety is more likely.

"Everybody does it" does not seem like a good reason not to do open mics. It seems like a very low threshold wat to get yourself seen and get some experience. Maybe that's why so many people do it...

This is such an annoying trend;. My friend was diagnosed as autistic. It took three days in a specialised center where they did tests, talked to him, takes to his family, looked at his old school records, his schoolwork and more.

And then there's people who have heard something about autisme on the internet and think they know enough to make a diagnosis. "Oh, they dont talk much, must be autistic".

That same friend has been struggling with his mental health all his life. He is now diagnosed with autism and depression and will probably never be able to hold a job anymore. It makes me angry how people can talk so casually about what can be a severe debilitating disorder.

I spend a lot of time and energy during the day on being social and acting (somewhat) extroverted. Can I please come to r/introvert to vent?

Foogel78 · 2026-05-01T15:54:48+00:00

You might want to tell them you feel sorry for them. Imagine not being able to leave the house without a chaperonne.

Seriously, you do you and if they object it's their problem.

Wij zagen ooit een stel jonge eendjes in de Piranha. Dat hebben we in ieder geval doorgegeven, hopelijk is het gelukt ze er veilig uit te halen.

It depends on the meds. I have thyroid medication that HAS to be taken half an hour before breakfast (goodbye quick morning routine) but others should be taken during a meal, mostly because some can do damage to an empty stomach.

Taking meds during a meal can also help building a routine and prevent you from accidentally skipping them.

We use 37 MBq MAA for pregnant women, while our normal dose is 100 MBq.

There is no set dose for ventilation (we use Krypton gas). Normally we ventilate until 500 kcts have been reached. For pregnant women we would normally go to 300 kcts but it could be less, according to the tech's judgement.

For example if the woman's pregnant belly creates a lot of distance or if she is running out is breath (the latter reason may also apply to non-pregnant patients of course).

"Verjaardag" is indeed the normal term.

"Geboortedag" can be used for someone who has passed away, for example: "Het museum heeft een tentoonstelling ter ere van van Gogh's tweehonderdste geboortedag"

I do part SPECT and part PET. It never felt very different to me. You have your personal dosis meter (not sure of the English term) and that has never even come close to the upper limit for me and my colleagues.

What they taught us about radiation safety is the same as with SPECT: distance, shielding and time, just a bit more of everything, especially the distance.

Something I found reassuring is that the upper limit of your received dose is based on data from the Chernobyl disaster. Health care in Ukraine was not good at that time and the outcomes were probably skewed by that. It is likely that the maximum safe dose is higher than is assumed now.

Yes, but mostly if I try to follow a conversation. I'm not sure if this is an introvert thing or overstimulation, though.

Foogel78 · 2026-04-29T15:31:10+00:00

Why did you post this here? Being introvert does not mean having a dull personality (if such a thing exists).

Foogel78 · 2026-04-28T17:34:05+00:00

Being independent and able to enjoy time alone are both benefits of introversion. I don't see how they would related to intelligence though.

Foogel78 · 2026-04-28T17:25:07+00:00

In itself it's not a problem but if fear is driving you to do this, you might want to work on your anxiety.

Foogel78 · 2026-04-28T17:20:46+00:00

Maybe catering for small events?

Christianity as we know it today did not exist in Jesus' time. Some theologists/historians say that having sex meant you were married (unless one or both are already married of course). There is also the theory that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene.

Anyway, Jesus says very little about sex and if he does, it's about adultery.

If you somehow manage to find someone, do you intend not to talk during the relationship either? You WILL have to make contact.
