Ross Hendrick is a British cartoonist known for his work in The Beano and Viz, but he's best recognized for Socially Awkward Misfit, a comic series that uses simple, expressive art to nail the everyday struggles of introverts with dry, relatable humor.

The series features Sam, an introverted character whose observations about anxiety, small talk, and overthinking have even been adapted into animated shorts shown at film festivals and on Hendrick’s YouTube channel.

    Mainly the specialists themselves. Darvo is the only technique they know. A therapist said she doesn't believe I've had do many bad experiences. I gave several examples, which she 'disproved' by gaslighting and insisted it's helping. And I can't see that bc I'm too disordered. That's exactly what mother said, everything is fine and I'm delusional. I wish I were.

    Why does it bother people that some are quiet and reflective? Bc they think we're supposed to entertain them.

    Or maybe make the zone comfortable? It's like encouraging people to have children. Parents get 3,6 times the amount of my child support a month.
