Everyone likes to have a cozy night in every now and then. It feels nice to just kick back and relax after a long week. However, an introvert NEEDS these nights to thrive and function as a human being. As a fellow introvert myself, I decided to walk you through a day in the life of an anti-social person:
- Unwind
- Curl up on the couch
- Watch a Disney movie
- Or musical
- Or a new Netflix series
- Make your favorite home-cooked meal for dinner
- or bake cookies
- or a cake…
- Basically make yourself anything edible
- spend some time on your arts and crafts
- Clean your house
- Do your laundry
- Get too lazy to fold your laundry
- (If you’re of age) pop open your favorite bottle of wine
- Read a book
- Read another book
- Basically read your entire “To Read” list
- Spend countless hours on Pinterest
- Plan your wedding via Pinterest ideas
- Realize you don’t have a significant other
- Cry because you have no significant other
- Eat your feelings
- Feel better after eating your feelings
- Watch another Disney movie
- Sing along to said Disney movie
- Realize you are the next Disney Princess
- Sing to your dog so you can see if your voice has secret animal summoning powers
- Cry when your dog doesn’t enjoy your singing voice and runs away
- Spend time searching the Internet
- Watch the Spanish channel and see how much you understand
- Teach yourself a new life skill like a musical instrument
- or American Sign Language
- See what qualifications you need to be the next president of the United States
- Forgive your dog and snuggle up with him
- Give him a bath
- Brush his fur
- Clip his nails
- Make the entire night dedicated to your dog’s spa experience
- Check all of your social media
- See political opinions on Facebook from your Aunt Georgia
- Unfriend Aunt Georgia
- Scroll your Twitter timeline for three hours
- Scroll through your own tweets
- Laugh at your own jokes
- Go through your liked tweets
- Stalk your celebrity crush
- Imagine your life being married to your celebrity crush
- Continue wedding planning on Pinterest
- Check your email and pretend to have your life together for a few minutes
- Respond to one email
- Reward yourself by eating a gallon of ice cream
- Remembering you’ll have to be social if you go get more ice cream, so you decide against it
- Add things to your Amazon Wish List
- Remember you got paid today
- Spend your entire paycheck purchasing your Amazon Wish List
- Get ahead on homework
- Give up after two minutes of reading
- Get another snack
- Wait for your Amazon packages to arrive
- Write a song using the keyboard app on your phone
- Perform it live for your dog (because you know he loves your singing)
- Look at the clock
- See it’s 3:45
- Contemplate going to bed
- Decide to go to bed
- Curl up
- Scroll social media on your phone for another two hours
- Try to sleep
- Stay up thinking about how you don’t want to be social with others in the morning
- Fall asleep
- Repeat
It's okay to veg out. Let an introvert know you understand!!
