    I don't understand why people are making plans they don't want to do. I see this kind of thing all the time and I don't get it at all. I like doing stuff. That's why I agreed to do it. I got invited to something I didn't want to do this weekend, and I said no thanks. Just sitting at home scrolling the internet or playing a video game is fine, but it's way less rewarding than doing stuff with other people.

    Maybe the internet just selects more for introverts and sad people?

    I can only speak for myself, but there are plenty of times when the plans sound great in theory, a few days/weeks ahead of the thing. But then when the thing is imminent, that excitement turns to anxiety. It usually has nothing to do with not wanting to do the thing or see the people, but some more gut-level aversion to having your time pre-committed on a day where your body feels the need to just chill or recharge your social battery.

      I'm an extrovert and I love seeing people and I make plans that people bail on all the time. Almost always last minute.

      At the same time, I kinda get it. There's a lot of build up and expectation to do stuff and it feels like a relief to no longer be obliged to do.

        I mean, I wanted to do the plans at the time. Now the plans are an obligation taking up valuable brain ram and I suddenly have less room for things I might want to do as they come up. I just want to be in the position to do more stuff I want in the moment, like make plans for lunch with my friend 😞

            Posts like this are so alien to me that it makes me wonder if I'm secretly an extrovert

              I did not account for over-thinking myself into 2 anxiety attacks and going no contact with everyone until I'm rational again when planning the event that caused the anxiety attacks.

                  If I had to cancel on a friend and I saw them post this comic afterwards I'd probably cry.

                      ITT a lot of people with pretty severe mental health issues who really need help if socialization is this detrimental for them
