I Suffer from Introvert Hangover: I'm Exhausted from Too Much Human Interaction | Active Creative Journals

#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

I‘m late with today‘s haiku which is inspired by my introvert hangover. Too much peopling this week with employee focus groups, training classes, inter-island travel & an all hands dinner meeting. 😳😬😵‍💫😵🥱

The kind of tired
That you feel bone deep—way too
much extroverting

AnnCrystal may you find time to recoup 🐝👍🏼🧘🏼‍♀️🐝💝. 2w

Ruthiella The need to escape! I‘m pretty sure, in part, that is what kept me a smoker for so many years. I always had an excuse to step away. 2w

lil1inblue I feel this one! #ditto 💛 2w

JenlovesJT47 I feel this deep in my soul. Being around others can be so draining when you‘re an introvert. 🖤🐝💛 2w

dabbe Your words say it all! 💛🐝🖤 2w

julieclair Oh yes. I can totally relate. Even though I (mostly) love being around people, it‘s so exhausting. 2w

bellabella 👏 😍 2w

Kristy_K Omg so true! I feel this. 2w

Reggie Sometimes I sit in my car for 10 minutes when I get home from work cause I‘m too tired to get out. Relatable haiku! 2w

Librarybelle I got 16, but there are so many I‘m in the middle of but did not count because I did not finish them. Some I‘ve not heard of before and others are on my to read list. 😂 1mo

BarkingMadRead 27 for me (I counted two that I‘m currently reading) 1mo

lil1inblue Uh oh. This era does not bode well for me... 😂 1mo

See All 71 Comments

BooksandCoffee4Me Oh, 22 only! Jane Austen saved me on this one. So many I‘d not heard of but look interesting! Remembered how much I loved Woman in White. Thanks for the tag @dabbe 💛 1mo

CSeydel Just 11. Not bad for a STEM major, though, right? … right?? 1mo

CSeydel Probably another 11 on my TBR. But most of them I hadn‘t heard of 😔 1mo

Amor4Libros I got 1…Moby Dick! 🤣🤣 1mo

dabbe @Librarybelle 🎯🩵🎯 Most from the 1700s, I'm like 😳! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 1mo

dabbe @BarkingMadRead Thank goodness for the #hashtagbrigade! We were able to count quite a few! (and I included MILL ON THE FLOSS since we will be finished soon). Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 1mo

dabbe @lil1inblue 🎯🩵🎯! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 1mo

dabbe @BooksandCoffee4Me #ditto! I adored WOMAN IN WHITE! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 1mo

dabbe @CSeydel R.I.G.H.T.! 🤣😍🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 1mo

dabbe @CSeydel 🎯🩵🎯! 1mo

dabbe @Amor4Libros And I only read “Call me Ishmael“ and called it a day! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 1mo

SaunteringVaguelyDownwards Got 22, which is not too bad for a Lit major focusing on contemporary texts! 1mo

dabbe @SaunteringVaguelyDownwards I think you'll kick some serious ass as we move forward in years! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing! 🩵📚🩵 1mo

willaful Only 20 for me! Would be a bit higher if I had participated in *all* the #HashtagBrigade reads. ;-) Nothing I especially want to read but certainly might if the brigade does them. :-) 1mo

peaKnit I know face slaps are not allowed but @dabbe…I got 4 😂 thank gosh for Jane Austen. 1mo

shortsarahrose I got 12, which is honestly better than I expected (thanks mostly to actually liking 19th century American lit - Melville, Hawthorne, Poe). Sorrows of Young Werther should count twice cause I read it in German 😆 (surprised that with three Goethe texts on the list, Faust wasn‘t one of them! I guess maybe because it‘s technically a play?) 1mo

Bklover 18- thanks to #hashtagbrigade and Jane Austen. There are quite a few I hadn‘t even heard of! 1mo

TheSpineView Thanks for the tag! 🥰💛🏷 1mo

Bookwormjillk Lucky 13. Grateful for#PemberLittens and #HashtagBrigade 🤣 1mo

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead I definitely counted Mill on the Floss. We‘re almost done! 1mo

Read4life Thanks for the tag!! 💙📚💙 1mo

tpixie @Daisey 1mo

ChaoticMissAdventures Oh! It is too bad they couldn't find a few more 😂 thanks for the tag! 1mo

Deblovestoread Thanks for the tag! I‘m going to get my book out before I do the survey as my memory was much better back then. 1mo

Daisey @tpixie I went through and have read 39 (including currently reading Mill on the Floss). I‘ll have to watch for these the next few weeks. 1mo

dabbe @willaful The #hashtagbrigade saved my sorry ass! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 1mo

dabbe @peaKnit I think the only one I read from the 1700s was GULLIVER'S TRAVELS. The others I was like 😳. 🤣 We'll get better as the list moves forward a few years!
Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 1mo

dabbe @shortsarahrose Yep, I think plays don't count, though they should. And you should count it twice! I read COUNT OF MONTE CHRISTO in French, and I counted it twice. I needed all the help I could get! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 1mo

dabbe @Bklover IKR? 1700s was like 😳!!! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 1mo

dabbe @TheSpineView YW! 😍 1mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk IKR? Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 1mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk I did, too! 🤣 1mo

dabbe @Read4life YW! 😍 1mo

dabbe @ChaoticMissAdventures 🤣😍🤣 1mo

dabbe @Deblovestoread You have this book? How cool is that? I'm thinking of getting it! 😍 1mo

dabbe @Daisey You beat my sorry butt! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 1mo

AnnCrystal Thank You For The Tag 📚😉👍🏼💝. (edited) 1mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal YW! 😍 1mo

Lesliereadsalot Thanks for the tag but I can barely remember what I had for lunch let alone books from my far past! 🩷 1mo

AnnCrystal Whispering again...👀...Zero!

I did watch many as movies, but it's been years.

1 - Carmilla. Long Time TBR book (I'm horrible, still need to read Dracula too).

Movies

2- North and South I saw one version of this many years ago and fell in love with the story

3- Orson Welles In Jane Eyre 💝💝💝.

📚💝. (edited) 1mo

melissajayne 17/100 1mo

rwmg 39 including 2 I DNF-ed (Clarissa and Tristam Shandy).
1mo

Eggs 6 🙀🙄!!! 1mo

julesG I might have read 13 books from that list. 1mo

julesG @shortsarahrose I had similar thoughts about Goethe and was wondering why a few others were missing. Them being plays might be the reason. 1mo

Amiable I don‘t even care about my score —the fact that I could check off “Clarissa” caused me to shout “YES!!” and pump my fist in celebration. 🎉 ☝🏼😀 1mo

tpixie 12. It said the average was 18! 1mo

TheLudicReader Hahahahaha. 8. 1mo

dabbe @Lesliereadsalot 😍 1mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal I adored OW as Rochester! That's my favorite version, too. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 1mo

dabbe @melissajayne Those 1700s! #oy 😳 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 1mo

dabbe @rwmg You kicked my sorry butt! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 1mo

dabbe @Eggs Thank goodness we're past the 1700s! I was like 😳 when I saw those books! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 1mo

dabbe @julesG I was all about the “might“ on this list. 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 1mo

dabbe @julesG I think you're right. 🎯 1mo

dabbe @Amiable Is that like the longest book in the English language? I don't think I could even attempt--nor would I want to! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 1mo

dabbe @tpixie Together we average 18.5, so we're good! 😍 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 1mo

dabbe @TheLudicReader Reading with the #hashtagbrigade and loving Austen are the only two things that gave me a few more books. 1700s? #wtf 😳 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 1mo

Amiable @dabbe It is the longest! I couldn‘t have gotten through it without the Litsy #Clarissa crew. 1mo

dabbe @Amiable I barely made it through WAR AND PEACE, so I don't know if I could even fathom reading this one! Was the writing good? 1mo

tpixie @dabbe I like your math! 1mo

AnnCrystal @dabbe 🤩👍🏼😍🎬💝. 1mo

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Only 8 from these. I should check a few of these out. I don't remember much about A Modest Proposal other than a one line plot description, but I know I thought it was clever. Wild that we read it in school. I enjoy Edgar Allan Poe, so those two are probably the favorites. I've seen Emma on film and read a graphic novel. I'm counting that in my tally because I've decided that Austen novels just aren't for me. 1mo

dabbe This was me looking through the ones from the 1700s: 😳😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵💙🩵 1mo

ImperfectCJ I'm late taking this quiz, but I got 21. I want to read Candide and The Sorrows of Young Werther. I've read everything by Austen so if there'd been a few more of those, I would have gotten a higher score. :-) 1mo

dabbe @ImperfectCJ 🎯 re: Austen. I have WERTHER on my TBR, too! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💚💜 1mo

RaeLovesToRead 5 :/ 1mo

dabbe @RaeLovesToRead For pretty much all of the 1700 books, I was like 😳. Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💚💜 1mo

Fuck You George | Devon Harris

I want to feel like more
More than this routine
Than this loneliness that hums beneath everything.
I want to feel like I was meant—

TheBookgeekFrau I'm curious, if you don't mind explaining, what do those numbers mean? 2mo

dabbe @TheBookgeekFrau #ditto 2mo

Trashcanman @TheBookgeekFrau I don‘t mind explaining. I‘ve been open about my mental health diagnoses and struggles. This will be a trigger for some so I‘ll hide it in the next comment. Suicidal ideation trigger warning @Dabbingpat 2mo

Trashcanman I chose this “name” to write poetry under. There was a time where I had been involuntarily committed. At this time I was asked to note how many times a day I had a suicidal thought. This number represents the mean number for the amount of suicidal thoughts I had over a period of 180.8 days per day. It holds a significance to me. I feel like I‘m mostly in a better place. I‘ve stopped taking meds save for one. (edited) 2mo

TheBookgeekFrau @Trashcanman First, it's nice to see your face instead of scary creatures!! You have a nice, kind face--glad you decided to share. I'll put the rest in a spoiler comment. 2mo

TheBookgeekFrau @Trashcanman Wow, that's a lot of time to spend thinking about leaving this world. And I'm glad you're still here! We've had some great little convos here, and I miss you when you're gone. I appreciate your openness with your mental health, and I've felt for you deeply when things are going well.I don't always know what to say when that happens. I'm happy for you that you're in a more stable place now and back with us on Litsy.Thanks for sharing❤️ 2mo
