It’s always fun to learn things about yourself later than you’d think you would. I’ve always been seen as super charismatic & outgoing & extroverted but deep down that stuff killed me, drained me. But I was good at it! And so even when I’d explain that it exhausted me I’d be met with a “There’s no way, it seems natural.”
I love alone time, I love being with myself, I love introspection & self-investigations. And it turns out that there is a word for that: Introvirtuous.
After spending most of my life in leadership roles, being put at the forefront of groups + dynamics, having to accept the “dad” title in the friend group it makes sense. There’s a way for me to be introverted and still accept that when it’s necessary, I will step up to be the guy at the front. And then I’ll go home and cry. But damn it, that performance while I’m at the front??? Incredible.

taking tests like this at different points in my life is always so interesting. I remember taking the myers-briggs type indicator test in highschool when I self identified as an introvert. I definitely don’t see myself that way anymore and actually lean extroverted, or at least can exhibit extroversion when necessary. my other main quadrant was “Support” which I am surprised at for not being clarity. I feel like I seek order and accuracy, but the test favored my answers on the side of empathy. thanks pifyi!

everyone knows i love putting myself in others shoes with a touch of nuance. ties into my aversion to anger/control over my outward display of negative emotion. being a fast learner is also kind of nice.

florinegrassenhopper riotgrrrl brendanooooo slowdazzle buck_mcgraw and indianjones — we did it. Not only did we successfully meet for drinks, but we also schemed the hostile takeover of this app from tyler tonight.
In all seriousness — weird that an app I downloaded in April would make genuinely want to drive back into Brooklyn during end of day traffic for a happy hour. Great app filled with great people.

I feel like there’s a special connectivity on this app that I haven’t felt in a long time, maybe since early 2010’s tumblr. The fact that you can’t promote yourself like IG is wonderful. The fact that there isn’t mass video content like Tik Tok is great. It’s not this monetized / paid sponsorship app. People are here because they want to be a part of something with nothing to gain besides friendship. Seeing the URL -> IRL meetups warms my heart so much (waiting for an NYC or Brooklyn meetup).
Thanks for your participation on this niche little app. I smile reading all the recs and all the comments and all the asks. Hope we’ll all be here for a long time.

I think a life rule for me is to surround myself with people who know more / are smarter / are cooler than me and just absorb their aura by listening / observing them. It’s made me the incredibly smart / cool person you all know and love.
I just never thought I’d feel the same way about URL friends. I’m constantly listening to the songs I see posted here, reading the articles, subbing to newsletters, and googling topics that get tossed onto the feed.
It’s nice to know you can become a more rounded person by just absorbing what your mutuals post on here. I’m going to sit on my couch, have a cocktail and digest my lovely feed. Happy Sunday!
