I'm your age. I'm in a slightly different experience since I'm 20 years into a second marriage (after about 10 in my first). I'm pretty sure my wife and I are doing good, but realistically....you ne…
My girlfriend (28F) and I (30F) started TikTok lives for money and it completely messed everything up — So this is messy and I feel like I’m losing perspective on what’s normal, so I need outside opinions. I’m a 30F and I’ve been with my girlfriend 28F for 3 years. Over a month ago, my girlfriend want…
Don't be like me — Two days of no contact after I made several mistakes. I had a relationship for six months, the breakup was messy, and now I can't stop thinking about her and everything I did, and how it's my fau…
This really doesn't have anything to do with introversion. I'm an introvert. It simply means you get energy from being alone. It doesn't mean you hate being social, are a hermit or shy.
I don't think it necessarily hurts you. I'm an introvert, so someone introverted is definitely a plus. Perhaps you just had an unlucky streak of matching with "extra" extraverted men?
I haven't had a partner in 10 years and a woman in 4. I feel like everyone around me is always with someone, friends, partners or hookups, while I get ignored both irl and online, and in apps like tin…
I'm an introvert and my wife is introverted so we both enjoy a lot of solo activities. So while phrasing it correctly might be key, I don't think either of us would be mad if the other said they misse…
Nah ... I get what OP means. I'm in a very happy and healthy 7 year relationship. We have 1 child and another on the way, brought a house together and are in general very happy, supportive and barle…
I think this needs an honest discussion. The conversation cards are a good idea. I'm an introvert, for the most part, but I've learned over the years how to be more conversative. I'm terrible with …
Hey, OP! Answering this from my experience as a customer / therapy goer. I'm an introvert and in healthcare too but for the longest time (when I was a student) I was not aware where to seek therapy an…
I'm an introvert too, in the sense that I need a lot of alone time! I do have a lot of local and non-local friends, though, and doing at least a few social things a week feels important to me. Based o…
I don't know about RED flag but it gives me pause, and I would certainly want to find out more. I'm an introvert. That has no bearing on making friends or not. I don't want a TON of friends and I pre…
Not more than usual? I'm an introvert and I work from home, so I'm relatively isolated as a baseline.
You seem to have a similar dynamic to me (M59) & my wife (F57). She's very extrovert & hyper social, I'm an introvert who's fairly quiet & reserved. When we first got together nearly 30 years ago, s…
I think the guys you are meeting just fall into the three categories of men who make up the majority of those on the apps. The ones who won't make plans to meet are likely in a relationship already. T…
Oh, I focused on the part of the post where you say you are a very quiet person. I want to be a very quiet person. I think I'm sensitive to this topic and felt triggered. I don't know how people could…
I've been having the same difficulty with men not wanting to participate in convos, but if you haven't had a match in a year, I would either make sure you're actively swiping so the algorithms don't b…
Been to Chile and Colombia as part of \~20 and \~200 person groups, respectively (was traveling as part of an MBA program - I'm an introvert but this program extended the boundaries of my social energ…
