    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.

        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

            I gotta admit I’m pretty confused with these labels. I thought intro/extro were labels applied to behaviours of people, not some intrinsic want.

            E.g. if you have social anxiety or were shy, driving you to stay indoors and not interact no matter how much you wanted to, that’s introverted.

            I spent most of my life like that, at peace with my own hobbies, and happy to be left alone, but later in life overcame my social issues and developed a slow rapport with people, that then turned into enjoying others company.
