My Therapist Knows About You - The OG Merch

Where it all started! 

You RSVPd yes. You meant it when you said it — or at least you meant to mean it. But then the day arrived and your social battery was at fourteen percent and the couch was right there and the thought of small talk with people who might ask follow-up questions felt genuinely unsurvivable, so you sent a text that said "so sorry, something came up" and stayed home and felt equal parts relieved and guilty for the rest of the evening.

This is for that person. For the three-day reply that wasn't personal — it was just a Tuesday. For the one who loves their people deeply and sincerely from a comfortable distance. For the introvert who isn't shy, just selectively present. For the person with social anxiety who has scripts for every scenario but still exhausts themselves executing them. For the one who needs a full day of silence after a perfectly good weekend because people are a lot, even the ones you love.

You're not broken. You're not antisocial. You're not failing at being a person. You have a limited and specific amount of social energy and you are choosing — wisely, honestly — how to spend it.

This collection is your permission slip to stop explaining. Wear the hoodie. Stay home. Text "I'm on my way" from your couch. You don't owe anyone an extrovert.

We'll be here. Quietly. Not making plans.
