While society has made it such that being outwardly sociable is a desirable quality there are those among us who would rather roll over on a bed of nails than aspire to be a socialite. So we figured it is high time we begin to educate the extroverts among us as to what it looks like when we would rather have everyone stay far away from us.

Which is why we made this list of awwdorable animals on stay away mode not only for your antisocial introvert friends (yes we get the irony inherent in that description), but also for you extroverts who need to learn when it is appropriate to accost us with your sociability.

Which only leaves the rather prickly process of getting to know you. Which we can only image is achieved by the bravest of animals and hoomans. Or by the silliest. One thing is for sure, being this doggo’s friend looks wildly interesting.

Ah man, overthinking is such a drag. But it also requires so much brain power to accomplish that one cannot help but keep themselves on stay away mode. Plus it is not helpful to add thoughts from other people while overthinking is already taking place.
