As an introvert that likes the idea of hanging out with friends but gets exhausted from the thought of social interaction, I can’t stress enough how much I value friends that include me like this. I even usually have fun and will sometimes even join in after a while.

PSA, always invite your introvert friends, and don’t take it personally if they decline.

True friendship

This reminds me of how Eeyore is treated in Winnie the Pooh

Please come haunt our party, we miss you!
