Introverts: What are the things you have done to avoid uncomfortable situations?

Today we are having a graduation party for one of our relatives huko UON. Since your own means of transport is usually a NO-NO in some of this events -theft. Traffic, accidents etc it was decided we will hire a mat to UON.
Now the thing is I have a very over active mind and by today morning I had created over 100 scenarios why travelling with my relatives would be catastrophic to my psyche. Chiefly among them is avoiding my very extroverted aunts and that uncle who is always drunk even on serious occasions. The will always bother you with questions for the 2hr journey god forbid if we encounter traffic.
So i decided to make up a half truth to get out of travelling with them. Right now i am in another mat comfortable, texting my kisokorokwinyo and listening to my awesome playlist. Tutapatana mbele…haha

Hehehe…acha upuss…infact it will be uncomfortable for me but my brother will be there and he hates human interaction as much as I do…we like people of our own kind.

Avoid such situation if possible , but most people think introverts are rude

Have never understood why people have this assumption, introverts are cool guys.

Whatever you did was probably the right stuff. But its only that those people are neither in your age group nor do you have similar thinking. I mean they are taling about how another masters or phd degree is necessary and you are thinking about money or where to get a lay for today. Even extroverts have their own circles.

Introverted people are not shy. And they do talk alot, but mostly to a small circle of people. No normal person doesnt talk to people. They are measured in making new social relationships. An introvert will not talk for the sake of pleasing your ass, but will not snob either. Again, introverts will not yap yap for the sake of attention. Introverts do like ferking, only that they dont show it.

Learn to differentiate between introverts and people with social dysfunction or cognitive dysfunction.

Because people are insecure and need to keep on talking to feel good.

Travelling…No problem I will sleep all through the journeylakini kufika kwa party hapo ndio shida hutokea ninakaa kwa corner pekee yangu hapo ndio maswali huaanza kwani umeboeka? Mbona hauna furaha?Mbona huonge i? Hujawahi wacha kunyamaza…

Since most of these social interactions are unavoidable unavumilia tu.

Mimi hutafuta mtu mmoja wa kuongea naye the whole time.

Mtu huwa hakai kwa corner, hiyo nayo ni uchoyo, I also would find that a bit too much na ndio maana wanakuliza maswali za ovyo because they do not know how to relate with you. So wanakuchokoza tu

I can neither confirm nor deny for risk of being identified…:D:D
