I don't see where you think I'm getting revenge on "pesky extroverts." I'm trying to understand them. And it's a useful model, e.g., to explain why for my wife's closest friend, Covid lockdown and social distancing caused enormous anxiety and even pain, whereas I experienced them as a serendipitous release from social overstimulation. He experience withdrawal; I experienced a haven. That doesn't mean I don't respect him, or like him, or that I want to change him. It just means I understand that he has a genuine need that I do not.
That's not to say I might not also be a misanthrope. You're not the first to venture such a diagnosis. I most certainly am not a nihilist, however.
