Re: Privilege

[chardmonster]

I just don't see any reason for supposing that introverts and extroverts have two entirely different psychologies rather than different social desires.

I consider myself a bit of an introvert. I prefer to be alone or with just one or two people. This is how I'm most comfortable. But every time I've said that people are surprised, because I tend to be social when I'm around people. I mean genuine surprise, not oh-let's-be-polite surprise.

I agonize over social mistakes and then crack jokes at parties and give advice to other grad students. Somehow I doubt extroverts are that different.

Stop assuming all the extroverts are those kids at the popular table you felt uncomfortable around.

I think we're talking past each other a little bit here?

I'm certainly not saying that extroverted people never feel embarrassment, more that the reaction to it and the experience of it and the degree to which certain things are felt is different in some cases. I don't want to assume that my particular experiences and feelings are those that everyone has. Not that some people have fundamentally different feelings, or that extroverts never feel embarrassment. But I don't think it's impossible that some people feel embarrassment more acutely, more strongly, more often, for a longer period of time compared to others - and I definitely don't want to assume that everyone feels embarrassment the same way i do, because why should they? And the same is true for social things generally, not just embarrassment. I don't think that's fundamentally unreasonable.

Also, what in the conversation made it necessary for you to say that I only hold my position because I was a loser in high school and am still working out resentments against the popular kids? Did I insult you in some way? If I did, I apologize.
