Comments

[(Anonymous)]

One thing you might be forgetting is that, for a lot of people, the vast majority of extroverts they've met *do* pressure and make comments about how ~weird~ extroverts are. So, when the topic comes up [like here] people tend to be talking in general.

Personally? The number of extroverts who haven't done either is countable on one hand, where as the ones who have take multiple handfuls [and in some cases managed to pressure multiple introverts at a time into going out without wanting to.] So when the topic comes up? Yes, I'm going to be more focused on talking about the ones who do cross boundaries.

Also, complaining about being lumped in is all well and good - but if you're a part of any group it's going to happen. It sucks, sure - but you also can't expect people not to complain about obnoxious behavior that a group - in general - tends to display.

I find that a little weird I guess since the vast majority of people I've met, of whatever personality type, are really reasonable about other people living however they want. But I get that my experience =/= everyone's.

I'm really sorry you've had those experiences. It sounds like you've met some really inconsiderate people.

re: your last paragraph: I really hate that kind of argument. I hate the "well people are gonna do it, so that makes it okay" attitude. It doesn't make it ok. Lumping people in with a group - especially a group we don't even choose to be in - by making broad generalizations that are obviously hostile is not a good thing to do regardless of how easy or convenient it is.

I completely understand that you (general you here) will be more focused on the people who have had a bigger and more negative impact on you, but it really does not take that much effort to clarify that you're not talking about ALL THE HORRIBLE EXTROVERTS.

ETA: I have been close friends with introverts almost my entire life so it has always kind of been a non-issue for me that some people want to spend more time alone and not be as high energy as me in social settings. I might need to be gently reminded that they need to recharge in certain situations, but I would never say "why don't you get out more?? You must be so bored!" or anything like that.
