BTW, AI is a great resource for introverts.

I don't like making a fool of myself (too much), and asking stupid questions can be uncomfortable, espectially when a permanent record is generated (on forums, etc).

Dealing with an AI is much easier than a real person in so many ways, especially once you can identify and deal with halucinations.

I have a hard time with language classes, for instance, because my learning curve is kind of steepish -- I need extra time upfront, and then generally grok the subject and way outpace others. But the early steps are very uncomfortable for me, and I prefer to sit alone, invest the time and effort, and come out when I know my s**t. AI is a great resource for asking dumb questions and having uncomfortable conversations.

As a true introvert (and somewhere on the spectrum), my ability to enjoy things in the company of others, is limited.

Your mileage may vary.

It was liberating for me to understand what I actually wanted out of playing music. What I really like doing - both singing and playing harmonica - is "folk"/"traditional" music. Simple, short tunes with repeating melodies, memorable lyrics, typically on a diatonic scale. That's my thing. I know "real" musicians do Jazz, Classical and whatnot. Acknowledging to myself I wasn't, and would never be, a "real" musician was liberating. I enjoy playing the music I enjoy playing, and I don't need to spend hours learning things I don't actually enjoy because I used to believe that's what I'm supposed to do.
