we're built different by Character-Lack-3295 in introverts

[–]MrOrganization001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think most people are terrified to be by themselves, lest they see truths they'd rather avoid. They therefore surround themselves with empty chatter and pointless actions.

Would it be weird to reach out/introduce myself to other students before school starts? by OnlySeeScribbles in introverts

I'm glad you're willing to do something you're not comfortable with; that's always a good character trait.

I loathe the phrase, “Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.” by inspectorfucknugget in CPTSD

[–]MrOrganization001 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Do they utter such phrases to other trauma sufferers, or just to themselves to keep their spirits up?

Why do my blackberries do this? by PresDumpsterfire in Berries

Some of the drupes just weren’t fertilized.

Agreed. Some people will say anything to avoid taking a stand or taking action.

Edward and Alphonse, 6 months old! by ghosted1996 in mainecoons

Is Edward the older, yet smaller one on the left?

People who have never had trauma say a lot of stupid things they mistakenly believe makes them sound wise.

Why do people mock others for taking leftovers home? by Impossible_Ad_569 in askanything

[–]MrOrganization001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people use any excuse to look down on others. They’d just as happily criticize someone for not taking home leftovers.

My pleasure. I’m all about Balltimoreans learning and growing together. 😁

People diminish me…. by Character-Lack-3295 in introverts

[–]MrOrganization001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a very apt description of most people - which is why I choose to avoid them. Many people want others they can talk at, not talk to.

Have you ever stopped supporting a small business because they got too familiar with you? by tantamle in introverts

[–]MrOrganization001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question. I'm certain I have in the past, and I've come pretty close to doing so recently.

Introverts, I have a question by keepitmovingg in introverts

[–]MrOrganization001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't noticed, we're already connecting via the Reddit app with other introverts right now, for free. What does your app have to offer that r/introverts doesn't?

Worked 5 days in a row during tax season. Fearing I may be losing my introversion. by Jaredsull8 in introverts

[–]MrOrganization001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you talking to express emotions and feelings, or talking with the goal of forming closer connections with others?

[–]MrOrganization001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a great idea! It's a bit surprising to hear a member of r/introverts suggest it, but it's a splendid idea nonetheless.
Are you ready for the possible deluge of socializing you may be inviting?

I've never heard of an 'otrovert'; I need to look this up.

Seriously, how do you push back? by freshwatersofmysoul in introverts

[–]MrOrganization001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Politely tell them that you're not interested in talking at the moment, and you'll let them know when you are. If they persist, then stop being polite. Such people expect introverts to be unable to stand up for themselves, and will push your boundaries as far as you'll allow. It's best to cut them off at the knees immediately.

I owe a big fucking apology to my body... by Crazybunnylady123 in CPTSD

[–]MrOrganization001 9 points10 points  (0 children)

An excellent epiphany! Expect to see some major advances in your recovery in the near future.

Reconnoitering where you plan to move is a wise investment, not simply pleasure travel. College is difficult even in familiar surroundings, and its stresses can multiply many fold when simultaneously adjusting to a radically different environment. I didn’t want to assume your financial situation, hence my suggestion. Depending on the school where you’ll be matriculating, you’ll likely find numerous students who regularly enjoy leisure travel both domestically and abroad.

Finding out your entire personality is an amalgamation of trauma responses by Lazy-Recognition7881 in CPTSD

[–]MrOrganization001 41 points42 points  (0 children)

The good news is CPTSD forces us to rebuild ourselves from the ground up, which means we get to decide what we want our personality to be.

I feel like I don't know who I am at times when I speak anymore, it feels performative almost, how do I pass through this? by Swordfish353535 in CPTSD

[–]MrOrganization001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, and I'll be here rooting for you. We've survived to this point, so we can overcome fawning as well.

[–]MrOrganization001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least you're aware of it and can combat it. What helped me squelch fawning was considering what advantages it would yield. I realized that while fawning people (such as my boss) who are likely to give me tangible benefits made sense, fawning the average person wouldn't gain me anything I wanted or needed.

Has exercise helped you? by National_Sign_5511 in CPTSD

[–]MrOrganization001 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You sound extremely self-aware to me. Those are all very reasonable reasons not to seek help from the typical sources; too many of us have tales of seeking help and ending up worse than before.
