introvert means that you lose energy in social situations and extrovert means you gain it. that's why it's pseudoscience. introvert and extrovert are words in the same way enturbulate is a word.

I'm shy but I like and feel good talking to people and enjoy the presence of others. Also, I bet you've heard a lot of negative press about time shares...

Why are introvert comics always about how the introvert is a victim or otherwise mistreated.

I want to read a comic about an extrovert who can't get his lame friends to do things.

Because people with social anxiety who don't blame others or act the victim actually make progress towards overcoming it.

i'm a fag i'm a lesbian

this is how most house parties went for me in college so even though I'm 'supposed' to cringe at these it actually makes me feel better that i am not alone. i don't 'self-identify' as an 'introvert' or anything, i'm just not wired in a way that would allow me to have anything more than a social anxious time at a house party

same except about internet forums where dudes gently caress exhaust pipes from cars.

hint: just because you're not "alone" and there are other stupid people just as hosed up and broken as you out there doesn't mean that you're not a piece of literal human trash and shouldn't actively be trying to fix your broken piece of poo poo excuse for a brain.

american society has always considered high inborn inhibition being something that needs to be treated, rather than just as aspect of someones personality. the attempt of conforming people to a monoculture is important to pretty much every major social group except maybe hippies. this leads pretty much every introverted person feeling persecuted, which gives you the groan worthy comics u see in this thread.

So, is introversion a genetic defect ? Humans are supposed to be a social species, right ? Anything that goes against this must be

a mistake.

Other people just aren't as sensitively tuned to the world like I am. They don't see the intricacies woven into Sherlock & Supernatural but it's all there; the sexual tension, the fact they are spiritual werewolves, the continuity between the faniverses, everything. Philistines!

the best bit of that new season of sherlock was them making fun of the losers who make Sherlock fanfic. wonder if supernatural has a lot of that or if they roll with it and try to make White Bread and Other Guy sexier/more badass every season

I used to think I was an introvert because after work I would much rather chill out on the couch and use my dog as an armrest than be social.

I've since come to the conclusion that I'm just a misanthropic shitheel in a god awful job at a god awful company staffed exclusively by other misanthropic shitheels.

Can I make a Tumblr Disorder out of that to gain e-cred and oppression points?

Same. As someone with Asperger's syndrome (well, changed to high functioning autism in DSM-V), avoidant personality disorder, Klinefelter's syndrome and fibromyalgia, I think the guy making these comics is a whiny bitch.
