I'm fucking annoyed at people labelling themselves like "introvert", "extrovert", "ambivert", "intj". What the hell a lot of people are saying and I quote "omg I do [basic human trait] so it must mean I am special !!! who else is like this??". "omg i love coffee while reading books, sitting in front of the computer all day and watching netflix like omg!!"

Those terms are incredibly generalized anyways. But it doesn't stop people from obsessing over them

I was curious about it myself since I fit the generic description of "introvert", versus "extrovert". At least as far as I knew at the time. A big lady at the bookstore recommended me pic related, which was a huge fucking pile of trash. It was just chapter after chapter of "most people are extroverts, which means that they are energized by talking to other people. But introverts are quiet, special little snowflakes who may be disadvantaged in life for not socializing, though live in wonderful worlds of their own, aww". Absolute drek.

One thing that the concepts of intro- and extroverts doesn't take into account is the type of people that one is around. I could be labeled an introvert because talking to a group of people who I think are morons all day is exhausting and I'd rather be by myself. On the other hand, being with a group of people who share my interests would be fully engaging.

"Oh, but then that would mean that you're an ambivert!" screams some imaginary blue-haired wookee. "You're balanced between being an intro- and extrovert!" Given the example, wouldn't that destroy the fucking concept of whatever-verts altogether?

Thankfully the intro/extro/ambi/omni/uppy/downy-vert terminology is being seen for what it is: modern new age bullshit terminology. It's on its way out.

Introversion and extroversion have been a thing longer than new age horseshit. I tend strongly towards introversion unless I have something like a "mask" to wear (anonymity, username, whathaveyou) or unless I'm already fairly chummy with those currently around me.

It still doesn't stop it from being new age horseshit though. Also, you're kind of proving >>505 here:

>I tend strongly towards introversion…

Self-classified introvert, but…

>…unless I have something like a "mask" to wear (anonymity, username, whathaveyou) or unless I'm already fairly chummy with those currently around me.

So basically, you're an "ambivert" but the distinction really doesn't matter since it's too generalized

Being an introvert or an extrovert is never some kind of permanent state unless you're seriously mentally ill. Even extroverted people occasionally want some fucking alone time, after all. It's not some permanent state, it's a tendency.

I am predominantly introverted. I can be gregarious and chatty on the Internet, or with people I have close ties with, but in every other situation I am going to default to introvert.

The way I understand it, in/extroverts are about where you "recharge". Extroverts get more "energy" from socializing while introverts get more "energy" from being alone. Being an introvert doesn't mean never wanting to talk to people or being unable, just that it is far more draining for them and so they need more alone time. Now what this "energy" is I don't really know, but I can certainly feel it. If I have to talk to people for more than an hour or two I get pretty tired and want to get the fuck away to be alone, even if I like the people and would otherwise not mind being with them. If you just hate the people you are around and want to avoid them that's a different thing.

Introversion and extroversion are not just about social interaction. They're about how a person thinks in general. A person introverted lives in their own mind. An extrovert lives in the moment. The overwhelming majority of the people on Earth are extroverted. The majority on 8chan are introverted which is why they can relate to being stressed because of over stimulation and the inability to hear their own thoughts. Extroverts can endure sensory and auditory pollution because they have no internal monologue to attach to.

These don't fit with the definitions of introverts and extroverts

>>530

This is accurate as far as the definition goes
