I Am An Introvert

Alright. My mother has planned for us to go on a trip to Florida for my birthday on the 28th. The thought just drains me. I am only doing this for her because she accuses me of being boring and selfish for being introverted. We will be going to a city that will be packed with people and tourists, and we will also be going to a night club. Crowds are never fun. I prefer being alone. If I am not alone, I get angry and tired within fifteen minutes. I hate feeling that way. Plus, she is never a good travel partner. She is loud, impatient, bossy, and NEVER stops talking, which is why the rest of my family dislikes going on trips with her. She ruins our fun because something is always wrong to her. And now that it will be just her and me, I feel worse because I have nowhere to hide away. Do you know what my ideal birthday celebration would be? Relaxing in a quiet area with my book and a cup of tea. And even if I ever wanted travel to a city crowded with people and tourists, I'd be by myself. I wouldn't feel anxious because I wouldn't have to fear a certain someone disapproving whatever I do instead of minding her business.

you're an adult. stand up for yourself, tell who her who you are and hope she respects and understand you. its silly to lice in fear because you fail to communicate. I'm sure your mother isn't torturing you on purpose. you guys can find a compromise... hope you enjoy your birthday

I understand completely. Extroverts never understand introverts, they just try to "force them to have a good time". They don't understand that crowds and chatter and loud noise are overwhelming to us and make us physically uncomfortable.
