Why are introverts always looked down upon? Of course it's not like this for all extroverts but the way I see it is that extroverts depend on external validation whereas introverts are content within themselves and their own company. We are self sufficient and don't require other's presence in order to feel ok. Why should I have to give up my time to recharge and feel whole and calm within myself, just because you need people around constantly to feel accepted? Why am I judged for not having the same social requirements and interests as you? Why do you believe you are superior because of your social behaviour? Sure, maybe you have more friends and spend more time with people but are your relationships as meaningful and true or are they just a distraction so you don't have to sit with yourself and the thoughts in your head? Go ahead and feel pity for me as I know deep inside that I am content in my own mind and I don't need your validation or constant approval as I know that this is just who I am.

introvert
im so introvert that i don't like when some one come to my home im so introvert that i like been alone im so introvert that i can talk to my self whole day...
sorry someone has put a chip on your shoulder. i’m 50/50 introvert/extrovert and i can tell you this is not as big a deal as you seem to be making it. i love introverts, though there are some extroverts that scare me, i love them too. there are a lot of attachment styles, Myers’s Briggs, love language etc. guidelines out there, but I certainly wouldn’t discard someone over any of it. i know my situations different (i can talk up a room, break a person out if i want to, and i can also pray at chapel for nearly two hours all by myself). as someone who experiences both sides, they are simply things that come natural but shouldn’t limit you from accepting anyone, limiting what you do, or looking down on someone either way. it’s nice to try new things too that both styles enjoy. you really shouldn’t let these things limit you in any way.
ReplyAre introverts looked down on? I've never felt that and I'm one. The thing about introverts is that they are so awkard sometimes. Their body language can look rigid. Introverts sometimes look dead. Extroverts are fun and actually look like they are alive. Yes they can be loud and annoying but at least they are living and engaging in the world. Introverts need to stop being so self-conscious all the time and think everyone else is looking at them. If they weren't so awkward and joined in things, then they wouldn't stand out for all the wrong reasons.
