> "Some guy just start talking to me while I'm doing something." Have you tried the headphones trick? Works for me. You don't even have to be listening to music. > "Interacting has become a standard." Without putting too fine a point on it, it's always been the standard. You only exist now because your predecessors interacted. I hear you that there's a time and place for interaction, and you shouldn't feel pressured into engaging with others, and it's good to enjoy your own company, I frequently find that's what I enjoy the most too. However, if you label yourself as 'introvert' or 'extrovert' you limit your potential experiences, and I don't see the point in that.

> You only exist now because your predecessors interacted. You mean sex ? I don't think you need to be social to see sex happening. > However, if you label yourself as 'introvert' or 'extrovert' you limit your potential experiences, and I don't see the point in that. Yeah, that's why introversion/extroversion is called a spectrum, even an introvert needs to be social once in a while. Also I'm sure introvert people have been kept away from being well integrated into society because there are much less communities of people living together, we all have our own kitchen and shower, which will inevitably isolate people won't don't seek social contact. The problem is that extroversion is rewarded, not introversion. It becomes a problem when you requires for degrees to include social interaction into group projects. That was my experience and it really marked how I failed at school, while I'm sure I'm more intelligent and capable than the average. The problem is the creation of a set of rules to put incentives on people to interact, instead of letting them interact naturally.

    I don't think you need to have an extended amount of social interaction to have sex happening. Sexuality and sexual impulse are there to make social interaction to so much necessary.
