Hey poodlesarus,I just read ur post on introverts,and I kind of agree with alot of what ur quoted source was saying about introverts,may I know what was the original source material or post u were referring to so I may read it?
I mean if u look at it from a psychological and observational standpoint,alot of what he said is true or make sense.... intrinsically I would probably consider myself an introvert for most of my adult the past ten years and teenage life......
although I didn't actively or conciously thought myself or identify myself as that u know,like I don't go about thinking about it everyday....in essence I just was probably one... although nowadays it seems that so many people and the existing trend nowadays to claim to be an introvert it's hard to know what actually the public or common definition of introvert means.
U can make the argument that extroverts can be selfish too,which is kind of a moot point,yes of course there are exceptions to every rule or class and we are all humans,we can vary widely on different characteristics and traits and range and spectrum....but here we are looking at what range and spectrum on what characteristics or traits introverts tend to lean towards to Vs others.
I kind of agree with alot of what David says and probably more he didn't say,from introspection and self reflection and from others....the things like living in a fantasy world and thinking they are smarter and better than everyone that's why they choose not to....
I think ultimately what is important is not whether "David" is right or wrong or is he bashing others but that regardless of whether u feel something might have negative or positive connotations we should strive to understand ourselves
better and also externalities.there is knowledge even in understanding the bad and the wicked.
Kinda running out of space here.....my email is frenchbriefs@gmail.com if u decide to respond...in case I forget to check back on this site.
