Long Time No See, On Purpose - Introvert Shirt
- Vendor
- WitMonger - Printed & Shipped From USA
I saw you at the grocery store on Thursday. You were in produce. I became very interested in canned beans for eleven minutes. I have the same plan for the high school reunion, the neighbor with the timeshare pitch and the coworker who says 'we should grab lunch' and means it. Some absences are accidents. Mine come with a route home that skips your street. A funny introvert shirt for anyone who has ducked behind a stack of paper towels and called it cardio. Great to see you. Truly. Let's not do this again soon.
THE FINE PRINT
LONG TIME over NO SEE... in tall condensed capitals, three square dots trailing off, then ON PURPOSE underneath in a slanted dry-brush hand, printed in a muted ink that sits just off the shirt, like something said under the breath. Crackled and scuffed. No full stop after PURPOSE.

ASKING FOR A FRIEND
Where does the saying long time no see come from?
Its exact origin is debated. The earliest printed examples, from around 1900 in American writing, put it in the mouth of a Native American speaker, and it is also often linked to the Chinese greeting hao jiu bu jian, which translates almost word for word. Either way, it became an everyday English hello. Some of us added a footnote.
How to avoid someone without being rude?
Keep encounters short and friendly: a smile, a quick hello and a ready reason to move on, such as an errand or a call to make. Skip elaborate stories, which tend to collapse, and simply be less available. Over time, polite distance does the work on its own. Mine also involves the self-checkout lane.
Is it normal to not want friends anymore?
It can be. Many adults find their circle shrinks as work, family and energy shift, and some people simply prefer a few close ties and more time alone. If it comes with losing interest in things you used to enjoy, it is worth talking to a doctor or counselor. Otherwise, a short guest list is a lifestyle.
