I really felt this almost sense of justice when extroverts were forced to quarantine and were getting cabin fever after like 3 days.

Explaining to them that the discomfort they felt is what I felt every single day I had to go out into their world with all their eyes always looking at my face and making noises at me.

I was looking for fun activities that I might enjoy alone. So I Google “activities an introvert can enjoy alone” and all the results were things like “how to not be an introvert, how to come out of your shell, how to enjoy extrovert activities as an introvert”

Like wtf? Stop trying to change and “fix“ me. I don’t want to be an extrovert, im sick of people treating introverts as broken

As a introvert, I do.

I call their loudness out. Tell them to fucking chill.

You can be introverted AND direct.

It’s for the same bullshit reason that any difference in preferred communication style is always won by the person who responds to an email or text with a phone call. Buddy, if I actually wanted to talk, I would’ve called. It’s not my fault you have the reading ability of a drunk 5 year old.

Or when they demand the introvert start talking but they complain that s/he won't shut up and talks too much.

Personally, I love chatty extroverts. They just talk at me and I get to sit there in silence and daydream. They don't care if you're listening.

I have even been threatened with termination at work for that. I simply cannot make small talk at work and more than half of the department are tongue wagging gossips that I cannot interact with at all beyond the barebones job requirements. My supervisor sees this as anti teamwork

Ever been to a library? They tell extroverts to be quiet

Feeling like people who are very talkative and/or loud do often get in trouble for that as well. People with a lack of self-awareness of one's own volume and monologuing about things of interest can mean the same people who typically are on the receiving end of trying to be "pulled out of their shell" are also sometimes the people who get told to be quiet.

My wife is an introvert, I am an extrovert. When we are at home she will not shut up, she is constantly talking. I however do all of my talking away from home and want quiet.

Amen to that

Gift them books, a microscope, minerals, a vintage computer... Maybe something will stick and make them more introverted. Or maybe they'll see the gifts as an abstract validation of their ways and store them in the basement or the trash can.

Because of the recent trend of omitting "does" from "why does everyone," I am constantly trying to figure out what the photo hopes to explain, but then I realize it's because someone is abusing English again.

end extrovert supremacy now!

Because when someone is alone, they might start thinking for themselves. Dangerous shit right there for those lacking the honesty to make actually win-win kind of deals

My boyfriend does when my adhd is going to loud for him. I have become more quiet for him <3

I’ve definitely been told to stop talking my entire life so idk about this

Leaving this comment feels extroverted, I hate it.

This is why I hate self described extroverts so much. They are often explaining all their bullying behaviour as ‘being extrovert’

Or worse: the diagnosed ADHD mixed with type A personality and excuse every hostile thing they do is because of the ADHD.

Essentially it always boils down to the poorly managed type A wearing different disguises.

Many cultures do. Maybe yours not enough to your needs or taste.
