*this is only from my own personal experience. if you have a different experience that you'd like to share, feel free! communicating about these things is a great way to feel a little less alone.
1.) You can't make plans in advance because you never know if you're going to want to go out that day or not.
2.) If you do make plans in advance, you are excited for them when you make them, but when the day of the event actually comes around, you'd rather crawl into a hole and die.
3.) Your internal monologue is constantly, "omgomgwhat if i say something stupid what if they think i'm weird what if i come across as creepy what if i'm being too clingy what if i'm being too distant do you think i'm being nice enough do you think they like me omgomg"
4.) You really do like going to parties, but would prefer standing by the food with a few friends rather than being the center of attention.
5.) You often want to talk to and meet new people, but would never try to (you don't want to scare them away or make them uncomfortable or bother them besides they probably don't want to talk to you anyway stop being so desperate sheesh)
6.) Daily pep talks are necessary. You constantly have to encourage yourself and remind yourself that everything is going to be okay, that no, they don't hate you, and that yes, what you have to say is important.
10.) With all that being said, it takes you a while to warm up and talk with people, but once you do, you literally never shut up. (literally never.)
11.) You probably feel most comfortable in big cities, where you're surrounded by millions of other people, but you never have to get close enough to any of them.

7.) You spend time with a lot of different people, but are probably only close with 3 or 4 of them.
8.) It's easier to talk to someone if you know you'll never see them again. Approaching people becomes increasingly more difficult with the amount of time you know you're going to see them in the future.
9.) Public speaking is immensely easier when it's in front of hundreds of people instead of the ten people from your English class. (Because, point #7, ya know?)

12.) You love writing, because it gives you an outlet in which to express all of the things that you want to tell the world, without actually having to converse face to face and try to think of what to say on the spot.
