Being an introvert does NOT mean having unreadable or negative "resting face" expressions, nor does it mean dreading routine interaction with other humans, and it ESPECIALLY is not anything like "misanthropic".
What some of you people are describing sound more like autism or some kinds of personality disorders. That's very different from introversion--- which roughly half of the population could be categorized as.
- silicon2401 5y agoHow do you define misanthropy? A quick google search says the following: "Misanthropy is the general hatred, dislike, distrust or contempt of the human species, human behavior or human nature." That applies to me, which is why I dislike being around people that aren't loved ones, and why I've enjoyed the lockdown world where extra systems have emerged to keep people away from me. People with autism may or may not feel similarly, I can't say. I don't have problems socializing, I just dislike people.
