I recently visited some friends who have a Golden Retriever. Usually he gets very excited around visitors, jumping and dancing around but with me he didn't. He was happy to see me and came over to get petted but he soon just fell sleep next to my chair.
My friends commented a few times on how relaxed he was and that it was probably down to my vibe.
That made me think, do animals react to our quiet nature? Does anyone else have experience with this?
We see a lot of posts that are not really about introversion and, on the other hand, a lot of posts complaining about that.
I don't like r/introvert being overrun with posts about things like social anxiety, loneliness and depression, but these are serious problems and people posting about it are asking for help. It would be wrong to just tell them "You're in the wrong sub, go away", but I don't just want to sit and let mental health issues take over this sub.
What would be a kind or careful way to tell people this is not the right sub for their question?
