Hey extrovert, how about you shut up? Silence is nice. We don't constantly need to hear you talking.

[–] skygirl@lemmy.world 23 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Nah, I love my extroverts. They do what I repeatedly fail to do, and help pull me into the conversation and actually get some social interaction rather than sulking quietly in a corner.

Extroverts that know how to pull introverts into social interaction are the best and I have often looked up to them.

It sounds like you're shy, not introverted.

[–] SparrowRanjitScaur@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago

Introverts need social interaction too, just less of it.

That's how it starts out, but decades later you're not shy anymore, you're just lazy in starting a conversation and rely on others who have much less inertia.

I also love my extrovees

Yes, but it sounds like you're extroverted but shy.

Where does it imply that he's an extrovert?

[–] apprehensively_human@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago

People far too often confuse introversion with social anxiety. It's becoming my biggest pet peeve.

ok but isn’t telling an extrovert to talk less the same as telling an introvert to talk more??

like…

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works -1 points 9 hours ago

Yes, and do you know how often introverts are told to talk more? Do you know how rarely extroverts are told to shut up?

It might be rude to tell an individual extrovert to shut up. But, it definitely isn't rude to remind extroverts as a whole that they don't need to fill every silence with babbling, and to tell them that it certainly isn't a duty of theirs that everyone is thankful that they do.

You will be either in my maelstrom of social interaction or you can leave, I'm partially sorry but I'm nowhere near the steering wheel as soon as I'm in a group of people.
