Hey all, I'm new here! So as the title suggests, I'm an introvert (INFJ on the MBTI test) with social anxiety. (I have generalized anxiety and it carries over into every aspect of my life.) I have a decent amount of friends and still have somewhat of a social life, but I also don't really WANT much of one either. Not just because of the anxiety, but because I'm drained by too much social interaction and I need a lot of time to myself to recharge. I've found that I tend to befriend other introverts because their friendships don't require much maintenance. (As in, constant talking or hanging out in order to maintain it.)
Also in my experiences it seems like a lot of extroverts have social anxiety but still want to go out, make friends, etc so they don't really get the other side of it that I also deal with. It's almost like I'm worried my SA will never improve because I have no desire to really make it improve because I don't enjoy much socializing, if that makes sense.
Is there anybody else out there like me? Sometimes I feel like it's a double whammy with the introversion and social anxiety together and it's hard for people to understand. Just wanted to vent.
