Really?
I disagree, perhaps that's what the difference is between introvert and extrovert.
I find that I need some time to myself, to do my own things, or else I get perturbed.
For a while there in university I would spend even 2 or 3 day alone in my apartment, without speaking, texting, or IMing anyone. Just coding an assignment, playing video games or fooling around in Linux.
Completely giving up people didn't see terribly insane at the time.
Of course this is a moot point since I now attend a Unix group meetup every month and actually look forward to the social interaction.
- calinet6 14y agoI am an I :) There's introversion (the natural preference/energy focus) and then there's verging on sociopathy (lack of empathy, inability to relate to others). I think the author is closer to the 2nd, but I don't really know. Just be aware that I fully understand introversion/extroversion and all the shades in-between. And still hold to my interpretation of the article...
- spacemanaki 14y agoYou "fully understand" of all the shades of introversion/extroversion and yet you thought "Wow, there are people like this?" after reading it? I think you might need to expand the range of shades you understand. Nothing in the piece suggested to me anything verging on sociopathic.
