    Introverts: These are usually people of high intelligence who prefer their own thoughts to listening to a bunch of babbling idiots. They tend to develop close relationships with other bright people, and often decline social invitations from oafs.

    Extroverts: These are usually people of average or below average intelligence who have difficulty learning new things because they seldom shut their pie holes long enough to hear what others are saying. They tend to share their ignorant opinions with everyone they meet.

    Literally the only defining characteristic is how much energy you have after socializing. The rest of this is total bs. I love being social if I’m in the mood, but I’m still an introvert because it wears me out.

      Even introverts can learn how to relax in social situations, but the additional stimulus can be overwhelming for sure.

    Absolutely horrendous. Please never listen to whoever gave you that. I am very serious: that shows such a lack of understanding anything about people, whoever is using this as a teaching material should be fired and banned from working with children. But they won’t, because toxic bullshit like this is what administrators love.

    I am really sorry this is your educational experience. It is not supposed to be like this. Introversion and extroversion are just stupid labels that try to make things easy. Those labeled introverts are often the most generous, thoughtful people who actually listen to and cooperate with others.

      I think people have to come to the conclusion that noone fits a single label at all times. I often hear takes like in the OP from young teenagers who are just starting to grasp a concept.

    My so-called introverted friends never want to go out clubbing on a Tuesday night because they only worry about the future like “Oh, if I go out with you tonight, then I’ll be a zombie at work tomorrow”. Like, live in the now and care about other people, like me!
