  Hey friend, American here. We all feel like that inside, at least a little. I was a huge introvert, and still am to an extent. However, I’ve been forced into pretending to be an extrovert for ages. I need a bunch of time to myself after things like business travel though, where I have to be the other me for long periods.

  The only advice I have is: try it out. It sucks at first, but it gets easier. Sometimes you might actually enjoy it.

  If you ever need help or want to practice in a judgement-free space, hit me up. My German isn’t so great but I’ve spent some time there.

  This was me until very recently. I even gave toilet paper away at work when we were short. Bidet seats for the win.

  Gets me every time too.

  Depends on the van. Were you offered candy?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is it to have very bright skin in America?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If the bright color is white, you’re probably ok. I say probably because shit is extra weird right now. As I understand it, the darker colors risk being “deported@ and by deported, I mean being sent to concentration camps in other countries.

  I never would have thought the above sentences would be typed by someone in a rational frame of mind, but… here we are in 2025.

  As delightful as you sound, my advice would be to not visit us. We’re in a dark place. While I’d love to meet people like you, we don’t deserve it right now. Shame on us.

  Haha, fair enough.

  Can I interest you in a library?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don’t know what to do with this coworker.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I remember a bunch of these posts as well. OP, by all means follow the advice of the people below relating to this issue, but I think you should also take an introspective look at yourself and ask how you can be a better coworker. I don’t think you’ll ever be happy until you do.

  If I breathe more, would I lose more weight?

  Wait, I can put physical objects there? I’ve been storing all of my stuff in the real world like a dummy.

  DOGE will soon make cuts there…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is it wrong/selfish to cut contact with my trump-supporting father?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I pretty much did the same when my dad kept trying to push his politics on me during the last trump presidency. It sucks, but at the end of the day I’m a happier person. Hope they get their shit figured out.

  Hope you find the same.

  ❤️
