If you're more of an introvert, you know there's a limited number of group photos you can pose for during a weekend before you decide to spend the next one home alone, recharging.
Even though you might feel like you're betraying your family, friends, or whoever it is you're casting aside in favor of a warm bed and snacks, there's nothing wrong with prioritizing yourself.
But if you need a reminder that you're not the only one doing this, check out the Instagram account FOGO, or the Fear of Going Out. It perfectly describes what it's like to embrace your inner loner.
Continue scrolling for a brief summary of FOGO's content and don't miss the chats we had with psychologist and educator Dr. Laurie Helgoe, as well as Jenn Granneman, founder of the award-winning blog Introvert, Dear, and introvert coach and consultant Thea Orozco.
You'll find them spread between the memes.

Orozco highlighted that introversion is neither inferior to extroversion nor a synonym for shyness.
"Shyness is the fear of being judged by others, while introversion describes how a person recharges their energy," she said. "They might look the same on the outside, but they have different motivations on the inside. Shy extroverts do exist!"
