- dan00 7y agoPlease just no, don’t put that kind of psychological illness label on introvert people. People are quite able to differentiate if they’re fearful if they’re under people or just exhausted.
- astrobe_ 7y agoIs "introvert" a protected status, a badge of honor? Besides, the article doesn't describe any particular "illness".
- dan00 7y ago> Is "introvert" a protected status, a badge of honor? I’ve no clue what you’re talking. > Besides, the article doesn't describe any particular "illness". Calling it illness might not have been the right term, but at least it’s some kind of personal development which has gone a bit into the wrong direction. And if that’s the reason why an introvert person isn’t going more out, isn’t going to meet more people, then there’s something wrong with the introvert person and perhaps this should then be changed with additional personal development, perhaps some kind of therapy. If that’s not what you meant, then fine, otherwise that’s the reason why I’m a bit upset, because it puts introvert people into a light of wrongness, that something has to be changed in them.
- vidarh 7y agoNothing at all in the comment you replied to seems to imply not feeling perfectly happy and secure with people, so I'm unsure why you think that is relevant.
