Introverts are constantly taking stock of their social life. Do we really need to be chatty with Sheri from HR in the breakroom? It’s costing far too much of our social batteries to be cordial with everyone, so sometimes an introvert will adopt an unaproachable resting face. Like a dog barking at the fence to ward off the delivery man, introverts guard their post with a look of pure distaste for society as a shield, protecting their inner sanctum ferociously. 

As every socially anxious person or introverted folk will tell you, there’s only so much socializing we can take without drifting away into a dissociated dream world, waiting like a flopping fish on a dock gasping for air and hoping someone will toss us back out into our solo oasis. 

So if you’re an introvert who’s just trying to recoup a bit of your social battery, you’re not the only fish flopping on this dock–scroll onward to refuel your small-talk-o-meter–sometimes all you need are a few relatable memes to LOL away the awkwardness.
