    I usually just chalk those memes up to teenagers who overthink everything or socially immature people. I often decompress at lunch by leaving the office and grabbing a meal alone somewhere.

    I’m kinda reminded of that Kurzgesagt video on loneliness. The video talked about how people who experience loneliness begin to pay more attention to other’s expressions but interpret them incorrectly as negative.

      I never heard anything about it as a teenager but both get to hear people’s opinions and have them try to force themselves into joining me ‘so I won’t be alone’ as an adult.

      Definitely extroverts projecting.
