Not sure I would say introversion is a negative self label.
> people that say "they are always late haha"
No, that just means "I don't respect other people or their time, haha".
> people that say "they aren't good at math"
There are people who say it as an excuse to not try. But you know, some people are bad at math, so maybe let's have someone else on the team do that part?
But what's the difference to "I don't want to do/learn math"? You don't have to. There's no guard rails on life, you can go out and eat dirt right now if that makes you happy, nobody's going to stop you.
> people that say "they don't like art"
I've not encountered this. Art, like any art? I think this is just not understanding just how much classifies as "art".
> thinking of yourself as bad
I'm not "bad" because I'm an introvert. I'm not "bad" as socializing. What makes you say introvert is some sort of insult?
It's not "bad" of me to be perfectly happy not interacting with anybody for weeks. I don't actually do that, because research shows that this is bad for your long term health, but an extrovert would absolutely not like that one bit. I find it more "bad" if I'm in a waiting room or something and some stranger can't just STFU for 30 minutes while we're waiting.
It says more about you than about introverts that you seem so hostile to it/them.
- vasco 2y agoIt is funny that you reply to a diatribe about not attaching yourself to labels to come across as very defensive of the label you've given yourself. My whole point is we're not anything, you're not an introvert is my point.
- knorker 2y agoI think you missed my point. Your comment reads as "to those who call themselves X: No, you're not at all a bad person!". Like, they never said they were. I don't label myself. It's a description. I could tell you I'm white, and your reply could equally well be "no, you're not a bad person. You should stop labelling yourself as white". I… didn't say I was a bad person. Nor did I say my identity revolves around whiteness. I don't join white people clubs. I don't let my skin color decide where I live, work, or who my friends are. You're the one obsessed with labels. > you're not an introvert is my point. Clearly you know me better than I know myself. /s If your point is that everyone's equal on introversion/extroversion, that (just like the cure for depression is "just snap out of it") it's all a matter of "just try", then not sure what golden plate inside a hat you read that on, but good luck with that. And to be clear: Saying I'm not an introvert is not a compliment. Nor is it an insult. It's simply factually incorrect. I'm also not Japanese.
- vasco 2y agoThis is really funny.
