We don't need to label ourselves as either introverts or extroverts. We can be a little bit of both.

“Maar ek’s heel oraait my dear
Tragedie is tralies
En êrens in Sidewalk Café
Val ek weer vir jou

Oor my whiskeyglas
En oor my emosies
Sê hier kan ek jou nie los nie
Jy hoort in ŉ bookshop by die see my dear”

It's Gilmore Girls. In #sorryimlateididntwanttocome @jessypanpan and her mother visit her father in the hospital, and she recalls the scenes in Gilmore Girls where Rory and Lorelai had visited Richard when he had a heart scare and, later, a heart attack. Pan explains that she and her mom wasn’t as close as Rory and Lorelai when she was growing up but that their bond got stronger as she got older. “Maybe we aren’t Rory and Lorelai, but in that moment it feels like we kind of got there in the end. It’s just that I had to be the one who was thirty-two, not her.”

QOTD: Are you and your mom like Lorelai and Rory or more like Emily and Lorelai?

At this stage of the lockdown, I'm following Jessica Pan's cleaning strategy. Working from home, it just feels like the house is never clean. Stuffing things into closets, closing bedroom doors, and ignoring the growing pile of dishes are just some of my cleaning strategies.

QOTD: What does your lockdown cleaning strategy look like? Do you clean a little bit every day or do one big clean once a week?

“Actually, I’m a shy introvert (more on this later), and any shy introvert worth their salt has invariably done the following: thrown a ringing phone across the room, fakes being sick, walked into a networking event and immediately backed out, and pretended not to speak English when approached in a bar.” - @jessypanpan

Did you know? Telephone phobia (telephonophobia, telephobia, phone phobia) is reluctance or fear of making or taking phone calls, literally, "fear of telephones". It is considered to be a type of social phobia or social anxiety.

The best way to get over your phone anxiety, according to psychologists, is exposure therapy, i.e. suffering through some time on the phone. This is exactly the approach Jessica Pan takes in Sorry I’m late, I didn’t want to come. She faces her fears by signing up for a class called How to Be Sociable, she performs live on a programme called The Moth, she tries to find friends via Bumble’s friend feature, begrudgingly attends networking events, and enrols at a stand-up comedy class for beginners.

In Sorry I’m late, I didn’t want to come, Jessica Pan faces her fear of public speaking by performing a comedy set in front of a crowd at a bar, numerous times. It's any introverts nightmare?! But in facing her fears and faking confidence, Pan ended up creating it. Read my full review of Sorry I’m late, I didn’t want to come on the blog (link in bio).

If you’re an introvert (like me), you’ll love #sorryimlateididntwanttocome @jessypanpan (also an introvert) decides to live like a gregarious extrovert for a year. Hilarity ensues but she also learns a few valuable lessons about what it means to be an introvert vs an extrovert and why these labels might not be all that helpful. #sorryimlateididntwanttocome is basically Yes Man but with a quick-witted female protagonist.
