For an introvert, there's nothing worse than being dragged to a party with strangers and forced to mingle. This dreaded mingling is the source of about 99% of our anxiety in a public scenario because, for an introverted person, the desperation to remain seemingly normal almost always results in some sort of embarrassment. 

Let me explain. 

Introverts hate the awkward pauses of a conversation, and without ever effectively learning the rules of human communication, we assume that to avoid those awkward pauses, we must continually keep the convo alive—OR ELSE. So while everyone else seems aware that conversations sometimes have lulls, introverts have two options in a social setting: 

  1. Overshare your deepest darkest secrets
  2. Go non-verbal

The next time your extroverted people out there decide to get cheeky by bringing your strange friend to the party, remember that they're not to be left alone adrift in a sea of randoms. Because for an introverted person with about 15 minutes of socialization left in their social battery's tank, always need a buoy to cling to at a party. Otherwise, you'll wonder how they Houdini-ed their way out of there: With an Irish goodbye.
