Especially if you don't like to be around people.

Those critters are just everywhere.

That made me think of Bubbles.

Would Raven be the right kind of company for Bubbles? She could fire up any curiosity Bubbles has left. She might be hard to intimidate.

Kugai:
It was a nice try Faye, but with Bubbles it may have been too much too soon with the issues she has.

Tova:

Fine, we'll simply delete all the characters that people complain about and be done with it. QC then won't have any characters except Marten.

That was a lot better than I was expecting.

Garfield Minus Garfield may have a new rival.

Detachable Felix:
That was actually pretty hilarious

I wonder what other strips could work with that theme?

Wrong. Not everyone.

--- Quote ---I'm just so tired of hearing people talk about introverts as though we are all social misanthropes who find parties (or social interaction in general) the most terrifying/unpleasant experience on earth. Maybe some people do find parties that way, but it isn't an all or nothing thing.

gah, I'm partly posting this out of an irritation that has been building for the last couple of years from all of the "introvert/extrovert" articles and I see plastered all over social media.

What do you care, though? I was raped twice by the same man. I suffer from extreme social anxiety and agoraphobia as a result. Good for you that you can go to parties and interact. How dare you act as if those of us who find that sort of activity scary as hell to be be some sort of of social defectives that are reflecting badly on you. (mod edit: removed a statement of supreme exasperation that went personal)

--- End quote ---

I care because it does reflect on me. Because I am an introvert, and we can come in many flavors. And for some reason there are all of these articles and posts talking about introverts as though we are more fragile than others, as though we are incapable of interacting "normally". Not that there is any such thing as normal. These also tend to paint extroverts as airheads that only care about partying and are incapable of any intellectual thoughts.

I'm so sorry that you had to go through those terrible experiences, and I can completely understand why/how they have shaped your worldview and changed how you interact with others. However, you wouldn't say that your way of interacting is solely due to the fact that you are an introvert, would you?

However, this is a bit off topic. If other people are interested, I would love to discuss this further in either Discuss or Relate.
