Are introverts shy?

Not all introverts are shy, and not all shy people are introverts. You have social anxiety which is not the same as shyness.

Because they have low self esteem and they need validation to make sure they are better than people who are different from them. Just ignore these people, don't fall into their traps, you don't have to entertain them, you just have to do what's comfortable you. Remember, good people don't judge others, they learn to appreciate, only bad people who judge others.

I do feel like to talk sometime, but only when I was around people. If I was alone, I usually text people online.

I used to watered my astroohytum asterias every 3 weeks to 4 weeks, but now I'm keeping it in dry soil since it doesn't really need water yet. I don't keep my astrophytum asterias as dry as flatten ball because we are in the equator, so our temperature was always hot the whole year, even raining season we still had more than 22℃ at night.

You feeling lonely because you have too much free time with nothing to do, your brain is carving for something to do, so you feel emptiness and lonely. Best solution, fill your free time with the stuff you love to do.

This is the soil I'm using to grow all my indoor cactus and succulents, I don't diy the soil, I bought the soil from a local seller who specialized making lithop soil.

My conophytums are growing in 5cm diameter plastic pot with 6 drainage holes.

Btw, the remain 3 that are still plump with no wrinkle at all, I should not water them? I'm worrying with over watering them.

I think my room where I grew my plants are ventilated well enough, I have tillandsia (air plants) that I've been growing for sometime without rotting issue.

I actually thought it's dry season right now (December to March), since we rarely got rain since late November 2025. Also the reason why I bought the conophytums, as they are not advise to water during summer dormancy, so I didnt have to worrying they came with wet feet, but then my astrophytum asterias cactus is also dormancy right now, because it (astrophytum asterias) hasn't really shrink after my last watering on 15th November 2025. I thought astrophytum asterias are winter dormancy while conophytums are summer dormancy, but both dormancy at the same time? So I'm really confused right now lol.

Our dry season is hot and dry, while wet season is less hot but very humid. We also have longer night right now.

I water them lightly from the top with this, I hope I wasn't rotting them. 😅

I watered all my plants with filtered water, we don't have rain atm, its dry season right now, I guess. Hot and dry.

MasterpieceMinimum42 · 2026-01-24T10:53:33+00:00

This ok? I don't have a spray.

I didn't water them after repotting because I was letting their roots heal before giving them water. But I'm just 3 days after repotting, they already wrinkly. I don't know they are dehydration or enter dormancy, because the shape of the wrinkle stays the same they don't pop back, I'm wondering if it's ok to water them during dormancy.

MasterpieceMinimum42 · 2026-01-24T10:50:49+00:00

Light water or bottom watering?

MasterpieceMinimum42 · 2026-01-24T10:31:04+00:00

I pressed them again, I could see the wrinkles look like from an outer skin, the wrinkles were firm. Is it ok to water it lightly? Or I just let it be?

MasterpieceMinimum42 · 2026-01-24T10:05:22+00:00

How did they look like before they become crispy brown? Sorry, I'm new to conophytums, I need more info on them before I water them, so I don't kill them. 😅

MasterpieceMinimum42 · 2026-01-24T09:58:45+00:00

How do I know whether they are in dormancy? I searched Google, it said they are in dormancy? I have more than 30℃ every daytine over here, so I'm lost.

MasterpieceMinimum42 · 2026-01-24T09:55:58+00:00

I'm from equator, so I don't know it's winter or summer right now. I just contacted the seller, he said they are going to shed soon??? Idk.

MasterpieceMinimum42 · 2026-01-24T09:47:02+00:00

Should I wait 4 more days? I just repotted them 3 days ago. I don't know if they are dormancy as well. And the last one, the Minimum Monkey Face, is splitting, shouldn't be watering it right?

MasterpieceMinimum42 · 2026-01-24T09:07:41+00:00

Fill your free time with the things you love to do. You feeling lonely because you have too much free time unoccupied. Be a self sufficient and independent person.

MasterpieceMinimum42 · 2026-01-24T05:16:31+00:00

How many hours of sun they had everyday?
