That would make me very angry. :thumbdown:
I find many extroverts often don't even bother to make the most minimal effort to try and understand the fact, that introverts recharge their batteries from being ALONE.
It is documented in so many medical studies, articles and books - therefore there is really no excuse - for the ignorance of so many extroverts, in regards to the other half of the population being introverts.
I know the Western world is set up and geared towards extroverts - because you need to be around people as much as possible to make money/business profits.
However, it is surprising how many extroverts simply do not believe that introverts have just as much a right to spending time NOT being around people, as they believe it is their right to DEMAND other people, BE around them constantly. :sad:
Well, to be fair, it's not like they're doing it to be ****s or anything; they simply want to bond with others and help others bond with each other, which is a very human desire. Especially in the work place, where lone wolves and the isolated can affect work flow and productivity, which can affect profits, which can affect how many people can keep their jobs and livelihoods. Not trying to shut down your opinion BlueDays, just trying to offer a different point of view.
I can understand being an introvert; I very much like my own space and recuperating from being so social (well, in comparison to how I usuallly am, at any rate) in my day-to-day life. And it does remind me of those times in school when teachers would tell students to split up into groups and how much I hated that. So, Pacific_Loner, just go out and, when people try to talk to you, just give a simple "Hello" back and let them know that you're not exactly a social person. Heck, make a joke out of it; it'll get some tension off of your chest and it'll lighten the mood around you as well. I'm sure a lot of other people are tired and would much rather be home and resting, so I think they'll appreciate a good joke. Who knows? You might even make a friend out of it.
