Im posting this in the introvert group because I suspect you are all as ambivalent as I am about socializing and get it.

Me this morning:
YAY! I have nothing on my calendar 🙂

Me later this morning:
I have nothing on my calendar 😟

My apologies to anyone who was offended by my post. I have revised it to be more politically correct.

Is it cool to use bipolar as an adjective?
Genuinely wondering.
I think I'd be pissed if I had it and someone felt ok tossing it around like that. I'd ask my last gf, but her bipolar won the battle and she's not around to ask.

I'm very sorry for your loss, but bipolar was a word in ordinary non-medical usage before it was used in connection with your girlfriend's mental condition. I'm sorry if you took my usage of a common English word as a personal affront.

"...but bipolar was a word in ordinary non-medical usage before it was used..."

So was retarded, but we learned it hurts people. I get that people use it a lot, that's why I asked.

I'm not calling you a baddy for using it, I put that question out there rhetorically to point out that its probably time for people in general to pull out a thesaurus for another adjective when they are using medical conditions that are inherited and cause suffering.

Also, be careful with the word "but", I'm a firm believer in GRR Martin's take:
Sansa Stark: They respect you, they really do, but you have to... Why are you laughing?

Jon Snow: What did father used to say? Everything before the word "but" is horse sh*t.

I'm bipolar but I don't think all introverts are

@TheoryNumber3

You're getting very upset that your words might have hurt others and you are taking it out on us for pointing it out. Instead of buying a dictionary for thousands of others, perhaps buy a thesaurus for yourself.

Off the top of my head, instead of bipolar, you could say you are :
wishy-washy
indecisive
hemming and hawing
blowing hot and cold
undecided
waffling
wavering
on the fence
of two minds

I’ve been there.

Unusually its dread before a socializing event and then after it's i'm glad that happened.

Usually for me it's "I'm glad that's over"

Thanks for all the supportive comments. It's nice to know sometimes that you're not the only weird one.

I have no problem with 4-5 people when it gets to be a crowd looking for an excuse to run . Sensory overload .

Besalbub Level 8 Dec 10, 2019

4-5 people? You're a social butterfly LOL. I always say two's a crowd in my world.

Yup.
