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

CBee Omg been there. Often 😂😂 1mo

AnnCrystal may you find time to recoup 🐝👍🏼🧘🏼‍♀️🐝💝. 1mo

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. 1mo

lil1inblue I feel this one! #ditto 💛 1mo

JenlovesJT47 I feel this deep in my soul. Being around others can be so draining when you‘re an introvert. 🖤🐝💛 1mo

dabbe Your words say it all! 💛🐝🖤 1mo

julieclair Oh yes. I can totally relate. Even though I (mostly) love being around people, it‘s so exhausting. 1mo

bellabella 👏 😍 1mo

Kristy_K Omg so true! I feel this. 1mo

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! 1mo

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. 😂 2mo

BarkingMadRead 27 for me (I counted two that I‘m currently reading) 2mo

lil1inblue Uh oh. This era does not bode well for me... 😂 2mo

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 💛 2mo

CSeydel Just 11. Not bad for a STEM major, though, right? … right?? 2mo

CSeydel Probably another 11 on my TBR. But most of them I hadn‘t heard of 😔 2mo

Amor4Libros I got 1…Moby Dick! 🤣🤣 2mo

dabbe @Librarybelle 🎯🩵🎯 Most from the 1700s, I'm like 😳! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2mo

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. 🩵📚🩵 2mo

dabbe @lil1inblue 🎯🩵🎯! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2mo

dabbe @BooksandCoffee4Me #ditto! I adored WOMAN IN WHITE! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2mo

dabbe @CSeydel R.I.G.H.T.! 🤣😍🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2mo

dabbe @CSeydel 🎯🩵🎯! 2mo

dabbe @Amor4Libros And I only read “Call me Ishmael“ and called it a day! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2mo

SaunteringVaguelyDownwards Got 22, which is not too bad for a Lit major focusing on contemporary texts! 2mo

dabbe @SaunteringVaguelyDownwards I think you'll kick some serious ass as we move forward in years! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing! 🩵📚🩵 2mo

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. :-) 2mo

peaKnit I know face slaps are not allowed but @dabbe…I got 4 😂 thank gosh for Jane Austen. 2mo

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?) 2mo

Bklover 18- thanks to #hashtagbrigade and Jane Austen. There are quite a few I hadn‘t even heard of! 2mo

TheSpineView Thanks for the tag! 🥰💛🏷 2mo

Bookwormjillk Lucky 13. Grateful for#PemberLittens and #HashtagBrigade 🤣 2mo

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead I definitely counted Mill on the Floss. We‘re almost done! 2mo

Read4life Thanks for the tag!! 💙📚💙 2mo

tpixie @Daisey 2mo

ChaoticMissAdventures Oh! It is too bad they couldn't find a few more 😂 thanks for the tag! 2mo

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. 2mo

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. 2mo

dabbe @willaful The #hashtagbrigade saved my sorry ass! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2mo

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. 🩵📚🩵 2mo

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. 🩵📚🩵 2mo

dabbe @Bklover IKR? 1700s was like 😳!!! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2mo

dabbe @TheSpineView YW! 😍 2mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk IKR? Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk I did, too! 🤣 2mo

dabbe @Read4life YW! 😍 2mo

dabbe @ChaoticMissAdventures 🤣😍🤣 2mo

dabbe @Deblovestoread You have this book? How cool is that? I'm thinking of getting it! 😍 2mo

dabbe @Daisey You beat my sorry butt! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2mo

AnnCrystal Thank You For The Tag 📚😉👍🏼💝. (edited) 2mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal YW! 😍 2mo

Lesliereadsalot Thanks for the tag but I can barely remember what I had for lunch let alone books from my far past! 🩷 2mo

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) 2mo

melissajayne 17/100 2mo

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

Eggs 6 🙀🙄!!! 2mo

julesG I might have read 13 books from that list. 2mo

julesG @shortsarahrose I had similar thoughts about Goethe and was wondering why a few others were missing. Them being plays might be the reason. 2mo

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. 🎉 ☝🏼😀 2mo

tpixie 12. It said the average was 18! 2mo

TheLudicReader Hahahahaha. 8. 2mo

dabbe @Lesliereadsalot 😍 2mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal I adored OW as Rochester! That's my favorite version, too. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2mo

dabbe @melissajayne Those 1700s! #oy 😳 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2mo

dabbe @rwmg You kicked my sorry butt! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2mo

dabbe @Eggs Thank goodness we're past the 1700s! I was like 😳 when I saw those books! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2mo

dabbe @julesG I was all about the “might“ on this list. 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2mo

dabbe @julesG I think you're right. 🎯 2mo

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. 🩵📚🩵 2mo

dabbe @tpixie Together we average 18.5, so we're good! 😍 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2mo

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. 🩵📚🩵 2mo

Amiable @dabbe It is the longest! I couldn‘t have gotten through it without the Litsy #Clarissa crew. 2mo

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? 2mo

tpixie @dabbe I like your math! 2mo

AnnCrystal @dabbe 🤩👍🏼😍🎬💝. 2mo

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. 2mo

dabbe This was me looking through the ones from the 1700s: 😳😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵💙🩵 2mo

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. :-) 2mo

dabbe @ImperfectCJ 🎯 re: Austen. I have WERTHER on my TBR, too! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💚💜 2mo

RaeLovesToRead 5 :/ 2mo

dabbe @RaeLovesToRead For pretty much all of the 1700 books, I was like 😳. Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💚💜 2mo
