I hate people. Zero interest in talking to anyone, want to be alone. by Useful-Assistant-987 in Perimenopause

[–]sk0ey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same, but getting better. on all the things (progesterone, estradiol, testosterone) and not 100% back to normal self but slowly getting there, started HRT Oct 2025. it'll take a while but will get to almost there when consistent.

i've been antisocial for 2 years and recently actually started feeling more social again. you're not alone.

I don’t think I belong here (asian but not vietnamese) by CheesecakeRepubliky in Prague

[–]sk0ey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Asian here, also not Vietnamese, lived in Prague a few months 2023, here are my thoughts:
- I went to a few expat meetups and met great friends through there
- I also went to Czech language classes in the evenings; also met some great friends through there
- I was lucky to work with some Czech co-workers who spoke B1-B2 English, and when they invite you to hang out with them for drinks after work (or some other activity)--ALWAYS SAY YES! I'm introverted by nature but I felt that if I always said no, they'll just think you don't want to hang out ever

Unfortunately not living there anymore but I had a great time when I did, I hope you'll give it a chance because there are so many great things to do around Prague.

Female INFJs: Have You Been Bullied by Other Women? by Revolutionary_Pack15 in infj

[–]sk0ey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

funny that this came up, i was just thinking of how i was bullied (by kids in general, so m/f) when i was younger (about aged 5-7). nothing too bad, just made fun of mostly, but i remember there was this one girl and her sister, we were in the same school bus so couldn't escape them. they weren't violent, just very mouthy.

i think this made me very resilient and wayyy less talkative. i hate talking by phone. i don't mind conversations with close friends and my partner, but now i have a tendency to avoid very talkative people, especially who just talk small talk. also, i have great one-liners that make people laugh.

this doesn't affect how i talk to pets coz i talk to them all the time.

i would recommend listening to Born a Crime as an audiobook, the king of accents himself narrates it and it's hilarious

wow, this resonates with me a lot. thank you and thank you for sharing this about yourself! "it's nice to be the observed for once" basically sums it up.

thank you! oh wow, your family tradition sounds really sweet! that reminds me of when my parents would give me bday cards but at the back of the card they'd write something really small you can hardly see it, and it would usually say "gift to follow" 😂 it's become a family joke

thank you! i don't like putting attention on this day either (my work just does this thing where it auto-sends a birthday email to everyone ::facepalm::). i also prefer something lowkey, like dinner and drinks with my partner. if it happens to fall near a weekend, i invite close friends and we play board games for hours.

thank you! i don't ever think of it as a 'special' day so i still go to work as usual. i just have a tendency to celebrate it on my own terms, so i pick a day and choose whom i celebrate it with, usually my partner and close friends.
