This article makes it sound like introversion is a personality disorder and maladaptive for society, which is frankly insulting. Extroverts have enough advant

  I haven’t read the article, but I think the question of whether or not aspects of one’s personality are disordered or maladaptive are valid, and can be managed with reason, without resorting to a question of insult.

    Sure, but "introvert" would be the incorrect terminology for such things. Introvert is not the same thing as depression or social anxiety. Its not even really right to consider it a mild form of those things as extroverts can also be those things.

  > makes it sound like introversion is a personality disorder and maladaptive for society With the pardon of the joke [This is what extroverts actually believe] While sure, too much introversion is pathological, I think a lot of people in that category just doesn't go into mindless yapping

  I strongly suspect that there's a non-trivial number of people who self-identify as introverts who really just suffer from a lack of social skills. Especially among those who consider introversion to be an especially important or interesting personality trait. That said, this author just seems like somebody who's social skills aren't keeping up with their social ambitions. Anybody who can't find people to socialise with the way they want to needs to look at themselves to find the problem, not everybody else.
