I was looking for fun activities that I might enjoy alone. So I Google “activities an introvert can enjoy alone” and all the results were things like “how to not be an introvert, how to come out of your shell, how to enjoy extrovert activities as an introvert”
Like wtf? Stop trying to change and “fix“ me. I don’t want to be an extrovert, im sick of people treating introverts as broken
House plants were a big introvert hobby of mine for years. I kinda lost the special interest love lately though and keep forgetting to take care of them. Oops
Totally agree! You do you, you shouldn't have to change that. Username is great btw
