Tech Resistance for Introverts
And other people who would rather die than host a phone-free barn dance.
Dear Friends,
What happens when you want to cut back on your internet and other digital tech use, but you don’t have a good in-person social network available?
Worse still, what if you want to cut back but you are also an introvert — and going to some big party to make friends or, heaven forfend, actually hosting one yourself is the last thing you want to do?
You are not alone. Others have been there, including yours truly — and I have some tips for you.

for the “happy in the corner” idea!Please share your perspective:
Are you an introvert, an extravert or something in between? How has this affected your relationship with tech?
What is your best tip for engaging socially in-person when all you want to do is scroll TikTok in your PJs?
Do you think my advice is realistic? What would you add?
Love the advice, Dixie, to attend without pretending - that is so refreshing.
Loved this Dixie :) As an extrovert (who is married to an introvert) I appreciate your insights and practical suggestions. Definitely a needed addition to the tech resistance conversation!
