Introverted MSers
Hey there,
I'm curious about the number of introverts on here. People who were already spending the majority of their time at home, and enjoying their own company. Immersing themselves in hobbies. More specifically, how has MS impacted your ability to enjoy life?
I'm an absolute introvert. I enjoy reading, writing, playing guitar, watching movies, videogames, etc. While exercising and keeping moderately active. But MS makes it's presence known on a daily basis: vision, mobility, and dexterity issues; to name a few.
Do you find that since diagnosis, MS has made you want to be more outgoing, or are you still feeling good about how you spend your time? On bad days, what do you do to cheer yourself up?
I've always been an introvert but I've become more so since my diagnosis. I'm antisocial really. MS has made really angry at the world and I struggle now to listen to complaints from others about their none MS issues. Before diagnosis I was a support worker, it was my job to help and listen to people, now I don't want to be around people.
@KatMclean I can relate to that. Living with MS has resulted in me withdrawing too. Sometimes I just can't handle people. I'm considering being a librarian, but I don't know. God help the guy who asks me about a book!
