Thought it was time I posted these again... They also apply a lot to the neuro-diverse ADHD and autistic communities, as there's a lot of crossover with introversion.

MYTH 1

INTROVERTS DON’T
LIKE TO TALK

Introverts just don’t talk unless they have
something to say. They hate small talk. Get
an introvert talking about something they
are interested in, and they won't shut up
for days.

MYTH 2

INTROVERTS ARE SHY

What they need is a reason to interact.
They don't interact for the sake of
interacting. If you want to talk to an
Introvert, just start talking. Don’t worry
| about being polite.

MYTH 3

INTROVERTS ARE RUDE

Introverts want everyone to just be real
and honest. Unfortunately, this is not
acceptable in most settings, so Introverts
can feel a lot of pressure to fit in, which
they find exhausting.

MYTH 4

INTROVERTS DON’T LIKE PEOPLE

If you are lucky enough for an introvert to
consider you a friend, you probably have a
loyal ally for life. Once you have earned
their respect as being a person of
substance, you're in.

If you've ever wondered how to properly pronounce my name.

Say it LOUDLY

In cookie monsters voice.

Do it now... where ever you may be... shout my name.

I dare you.

Just a reminder that I don't always 'automatically' follow people back and the reasons why are as follows.

1: Incomplete profile, do I know who/what you are & what interests you
2: Lack of interaction - Have we interacted on posts before
3: You're a bot account
4: You've posted things unpalatable or conflict with my own views & beliefs.
5: AI Generated posts/images
6: I simply forget.

It's ok not to follow people back too. I'm on the spectrum and don't always want my timeline overloaded.

I also tend to ignore PM's from people I don't know and don't follow.

Some of you may not have been followed back again when I moved instances last year... a problem with importing my lists I think. If I used to follow you and now don't. Let me know.

"I've been online for longer than the internet. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. 56k modems on fire in the light of Usenet. I watched IRC forks glitter in the dark near the Gateway 3000. All those moments will be lost in slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify."

I shamelessly stole that quote from a random post I saw on here. It perfectly captures my online existence and what I think about the current state of it.

I've been online since the mid 90's, usually through friends computers at first, before that I'd been tinkering with computers since I was about 12yrs old, from things like Commodore 64's & Amiga's as well as Atari ST's. I got my first PC with a modem in 98, I've been building my own PC's since 2000, but I'd been upgrading systems in some way since at least 91.

I remember the hope and promise it held and how that's been ripped away from everyone for lies, tracking, privacy invasion and a subscription to everything. If they could force you into a subscription service to breathe... they would.

I've been on Masto for 3yrs or so now. I deleted facebook in 2011, twitter in 2018 (not that I really ever used it) and shunned all others with the exception of G+ when that was good between 2011-2015.

Mastodon is my only social media platform now. I switched to beige.party because my previous instance went through a period of instability and was constantly down for a day or two at least 2 or 3 times a month.

Some people like to put fancy letters after their names, so I thought I'd do the same.

BSC = Bronze Swimming Certificate
SSC = Silver Swimming Certificate

If you got the joke, yay!
