Socializing is as exhausting as giving blood. People assume we loners are misanthropes just ­sitting thinking: oh, people are such a bunch of assholes. But it’s really not like that. We just have a smaller tolerance for what it takes to be with others. It means having to perform. I get so tired of communicating.

-Anneli Rufus, Party of One: The Loner’s Manifesto (via selfactual)

This is why I need a day or two of quiet time without having to come out of my room sometimes.  And I find giving blood is much less exhausting than being an introvert working retail six days a week.
