Introverts have absolutely no issues striking up a conversation.
Is it mentally exhausting? Sure. Would I rather be doing literally anything else? Yeah, probably. But introverts don’t automatically have social anxiety.
I think there’s more in the second panel for me. The conversation can continue and I’m still battling trying to retcon my introduction somehow because who tf says howdy. It derails my focus for the next minute of conversation. But I’m also paying attention so everything added to the conversation is piled on top of that and how I respond next needs to fit the flow of conversation and if I want to fix the weirdness of how I introduced myself…
Is this typical for ADHD? Maybe for the introverted type, but with ADHD people I instantly have crazy conversations nonstop
This is almost perfect for me, but I have anxiety along with ADHD and there should be conflicting orders like
“Make more eye contact” and “Stop staring at their face weirdo”
