What's the correct word for someone who doesn't enjoy socialization?
What does introverted mean? Does it just mean "person who enjoys being alone" or "person who is not good at socializing, even though they may enjoy it"?
- iopq 10y agoIntroverted means you feel tired after socializing, while extroverted people feel excited and energized. Both need to socialize, but the introvert needs to recharge alone. Only very weird people are asocial. This trait was very heavily selected against in tribal societies because surviving on your own is much less likely.
- saint_fiasco 10y agoI feel tired after studying calculus but I can still do it if I try really hard. When I study discrete math or lineal algebra I don't feel as tired and can study for longer. Naturally, I'm much better at discrete math than I am at calculus. I expect extroverted people are better at socializing than introverted people for similar reasons. Are there many introverted politicians?
