That's funny, especially since I have been reading much of today.

read it earlier - laughed out loud many times. Specially liked the Uber skit. thanks Glen, we are generally underappreciated. Cheers Ray

As an Uber driver, I can tell you that is entirely true. You learn very quickly who you can and cannot talk to :)

But then again, sometimes it is hard to differentiate between an introvert or some Pratt with a stick up his/her derrière...

2758 jobs to date and 4.99 stars, so I must be doing something right :lol:

And yes, I keep driving despite silly COVID-19.

Describes me almost perfectly.
Biggest difference, I hated driving and I no longer have a drivers license, so no Uber driving. And I prefer using taxis to public transport. Far fewer people to be nervous about.

I like it, and maybe in helps balance my paranoia

Edit: I even used to be in a band called 'the introverts' !

Read this yesterday and immediately identified with it and brought a smile and chuckle . Introverts of the world Unite, in the safety and comfort of our homes, surrounded by our collected paraphernalia that make semi isolation most enjoyable.

Yet all of you below choose to live in the city.:confused2::screwy:

Too many people per square inch for my liking.:(

[glend]

I do not live in a city, by choice.

[Saturnine]

We don't mind having people around, just not in close proximity most of the time. Would love to live in the rural areas somewhere but family and other circumstances dictate otherwise, for now.

Quiet, middle class suburbia here.
My block of flats, no one in the block wants to talk to any of the other residents, unless something has gone wrong impacting the block as a whole, like a power failure, or water main burst.
Myself, I spend so much time indoors, away from everyone, I have to take vitamin D3 daily.
With my other medical issues, moving to a lower populated region, not a viable option.
