Lifestyle: The Introvert’s Guide To Surviving A Party

Mr Cillian Murphy is not, if his red-carpet demeanour is any measure, a man for the spotlight. Even when the night is his, as so many awards ceremonies this year have been, the Oppenheimer star tends to approach glitzy events and parties with the trepidation of a guy who would rather be anywhere else. Murphy’s ambivalence about the spotlight is a relatable mood, given the popularity of the many memes about it. While he has described his frustration with red-carpet interviews and junkets as simply being bored with it all, we tend to see in Murphy as a spirit animal for cancelling plans in favour of a nice night in, in front of our small screens. We label this desire to swerve socialising as introversion and though about half of us are introverted, it’s a personality trait often mixed up with other, potentially more challenging conditions, such as social anxiety.
