I HATE social functions when even slightly hungover.

One more...
Having multiple people in a store greet you and ask if you need help. Some stores are notoriously bad on this.. I was at a Sephora with my daughter and her friends and while they were looking around I had no fewer than 5 people ask me if I needed help. By number three I just wanted to tell them GFY.
Like if they didn't ask me, I'd just walk around the store aimlessly wondering what to do?
The fancier stores that have a 1-1 ratio of floor staff to garment item I avoid like the plague.

I do this all the time to avoid small talk. I despise fake small talk.

Zero chance I'm sharing a hotel room with a coworker on a business trip. Sure, I'll give you a ride home as long as you don't bitch about me smoking in my vehicle. Also, go frick yourself with those work happy hours. I ain't going after being with you for 8-9 hours of the day already. Also, I mastered the "Irish goodbye" in high school. If I'm there, then I'm not, don't take it personally.

Then there is the awkward grocery store interaction where you stop to chat in produce, but then you see them again in aisle 3 and again in aisle 5 and again at the register...

a co-worker had asked me the day before if I would be able to give them a ride back from the conference to Baton Rouge. I made up some elaborate story that I was staying an extra night in NOLA to visit a relative. F that! Let me drive in peace.
Also, I see nothing wrong with this. I love my alone car rides. I get my best thinking done while driving.

I will give a Derrick Henry level stiff arm to most non-children that try to give me a hug. I hate hugs, and in general do not like being touched. It has led to issues.

What the hell? That just seems like a sexual harassment lawsuit waiting to happen.

I hate unannounced visits to the house
Agree 1000 % on this one. When I was married to my ex-wife her grandmother would do this constantly.
It could be 6 am on a Saturday or 10:30 pm on a Tuesday and everything in between.

Introvert Quirks- what are yours?
All of 'em.
Probably the biggest one though is when I play golf on vacation, rather than sleeping in, I schedule the first morning tee time of the course that I'm playing like the minute it's available and hope the marshal is cool with letting me go 5-10 minutes before the scheduled time tee time.
I'll jump out and play 2-3 holes pretty quick, then I'll start coasting. Just enjoy the morning air and having the course to myself.

We call this having to be "on"
My wife complains about this often. She's a healthcare provider that has to see probably a dozen patients per day.
Luckily I don't have to deal with that shite, working from home

Same. True extroverts are exhaustingly annoying.

I'm better at interacting socially than I was 30 yrs ago. I guess I've gotten to the "don't really care" age. still, we've never been out with another couple in 31 yrs. just ain't happening.
the neighborhood Christmas party (10 couples, max) is one that I get up for, at first. then as the date approaches, I get more and more ambivalent.
My wife has to be "on" in her work, small talk all day, everyday. So when she's off, she's OFF.
Recently though, I do like getting together in a very small group of 7-8 folks I've known since grade school or before.

If you met me at a party, you'd never guess I am an introvert. My friends wouldn't even call me an introvert. We aren't shy. I can turn it on and throw out one-liners and tell stories amongst the best of them. I'm well read and can converse on a lot of different subjects.
Its just the process of interacting at a party completely drains me, and I need a lot of time to recover after.
This is me 100%..Glad I am not alone..I actually see myself in many of these posts...

I always hate when people ask what I'm eating. I know they are just curious. But I'm eating, leave me alone and get your own damn food.
Oh that looks good, what did you get?

I’ve never played golf except one time with a friend. Are you really saying that if you go to play a round of golf by yourself you could end up with people you don’t know? Frickin F that!!

I do this if I can’t decide and I see someone that is having what I’m considering. Relax Francis. I just want to know if it’s good or not.

I used to do some of this stuff y'all have said, but as I've gotten older I give nearly zero shits about ending any conversation when I want (not rudely, but clearly) and I don't feel awkward at all sitting in silence if I feel like it.
