1. When we see you after a long day, we might be all irritable and not want to talk
It has nothing to do with you. Outgoing introverts, though still introverts at their core, often need to recharge after a large use of social energy. After a long day of dealing with people, our social batteries are drained and we need to unwind and recover, usually alone.
2. We’re charming creatures and can be the life of the party, but…
You’ll be surprised how much we actually live in our heads. People often confuse us for extroverts, but we’re too introspective and over-think too much to be one.
3. If we like you, we really like you.
We don’t waste our time with people we’re not completely crazy about. If we agreed to go on a date with you, we like you. Take it as a huge compliment.
4. We have times when we’re weird with our phones.
Some days we can talk for hours, but sometimes we’re not so good at replying and talking on the phone. Don’t take it personally – we screen our phone calls, even from our closest friends. Outgoing introverts sometimes hate the phone because it’s all, like, intrusive and tears our minds away from whatever we’re deeply focusing on (and we are always deeply focusing on something). Our mind doesn’t change direction easily. Listening to one thing and seeing something else is a lot of sensory input piled on top of everything that’s already going on in our heads.
5. But don’t worry, in person we’ll listen to you for hours.
We have spectrums of introversion, so we’re good listeners. We’ll always be naturally in tune with how you’re feeling, so we’ll be able to see through any front you put up and make you jump into the deep end.
6. We need to dip our foot in the pool first.
We need time to warm up, so, like, chill. We tend not to outwardly express our feelings and spill our whole life story in the first hour of meeting you. Or the first year.
7. Our energy level depends on our environment.
Yes, we can get annoyed easily. If we vibe with the crowd, we can get our energy from human interactions. But if we don’t, we’ll start to get really introspective and reflective, and tend to withdraw into ourselves. It’s kinda like a hit or miss. We’re very selectively social. But it’s not because we dislike people – it’s actually the opposite. We dislike the barriers like small talk (which often comes with going out) creates between people, and try to avoid it at all costs.
8. You’ll think we are flirty with everyone.
Okay here’s the thing, when we inevitably have to interact with people, we make it seem like there’s nothing in the world we’d rather be doing. It’s ‘cause we’re, like, overly sensitive and so we go out of our way to make other people feel comfortable and happy. We’re intuitive and outgoing at the same time.
Research has found that introverts pay more attention to detail and exhibit increased brain activity when processing visual information. A study shows that the brain of an introvert weighs internal cues more strongly than external motivational and reward cues.

Love this!
yup!!
I love this! And I kinda love you lifeslowlychanges for posting it! ❤️
I’ve started a new food project for this blog (so I use it for it’s intended purpose)
I’ll be taking inspiration from characters and blogs, and then create recipes inspired by them. I will be cooking every recipe I post, So I can be sure of how it works (don’t expect a lot of fish, haha)
A spicy dish, with a bit of sweetness added, this is relatively fast to make. You can be highly flexible with the vegetables used too. I served it with black rice (I think the contrast worked well) but feel free to use whichever you’re comfortable with
Ingredients:
Carrot, diced Red Onion, diced Garlic Chilli, chopped Palm Sugar Cauliflower, cut small Broccoli, cut small Sugar snap peas, cross cut Capsicum (bell pepper), diced srirachia sauce
Start by sautéing the garlic and chilli in a frypan for a minute with some oil, then add your carrot and onion
Cook these out until the onion softens, then add the palm sugar, continue to cook for another minute, then add the cauliflower and a little water. allow to simmer for a bit, before adding the broccoli.
continue to cook for a few minutes, adding a touch of water if it gets too dry, before adding the sugar snap peas and capsicum. mix in well and cook for a minute before adding the sriracha sauce.
season to taste, stir well, before serving with black rice and a little sweet chilli sauce
Enjoy 🙂
I’ll have a dish that I’ve had inspired by Rarity later today.
Lauren’s been really involved with the development of the game, handling the universe’s design. This includes the game’s story mode, the characters’ designs and backstories and the world’s as well. What we could call a “Universe Bible” for us to draw from when injecting personality into the characters’ movesets.
Them’s Fightin’ Herds is Lauren’s project as much as it’s the rest of the team. We totally count her in when we refer to “Mane6”.
That’s awesome to hear that Lauren’s been such a huge part of this project! I can’t wait for the crowdfunding!
