THE HORROR OF “INTROVERT HANGOVERS:”

An “introvert” hangover is a pretty terrible thing to experience. It starts with an actual physical reaction to overstimulation. Your ears might ring, your eyes start to blur, and you feel like you’re going to hyperventilate. Maybe your palms sweat. And then your mind feels like it kind of shuts down, building barriers around itself as if you had been driving on a wide open road, and now you’re suddenly driving in a narrow tunnel. All you want is to be at home, alone, where it’s quiet.

Is it just me, or does there seem to be a growing Introvert-Rights movement? I guess now that technology lets you wage a campaign like that without having to leave the house. . . .
