Does anyone else think extroverts are being incredibly fragile when they post about how they “can’t” go to the movies or a restaurant alone?

Introvert doesn’t mean shy or socially anxious. I regularly tell people to shut the fuck up if they’re in my space being annoying.

I hate all this extrovert VS introvert stuff, one side seen as vapid, gibbering apes and the other seen as loner shut-ins. It’s exhausting, especially since most people don’t fall squarely into one camp or the other.

There’s plenty of introverted people who love to talk and go out with people, they just need some time between outings to wind down and gear up and to know there’s someone around that will share their interests. Likewise, there are shy extroverts who thrive more in online spaces where they can easily manage their interactions with others and have time to think about their responses. In either case, being an asshole is not part of it.

Extrovert here.
People do. Constantly. It’s a normal thing. If you’re hanging out with people who refuse to shut up and let you be comfortable for a while the problem isn’t that they’re extroverts. The problem is that they’re assholes. Unfortunately the two can look similar on account of assholes having less boundaries making them appear to be more extroverted when in reality they’re just less respectful.

Lockdowns during covid kinda did this and the extroverts went crazy.

Bro if you’re getting out of your comfort zone why should the zone be comfortable
