    Introvert ≠ antisocial. Introvert means when you’ve had a long day you want to go home and be by yourself. You can still be outgoing and sociable.

      Correct.

      Introvert means you give away energy to others and you need to be alone to generate it.

      Extroverts do not create their own energy which is why they need to be around others.

        This is worded in a way to imply introverts are superior and the single source of “energy” to the world. This is incorrect, especially as extroverts can feed off each others energy. I know plenty of extroverts who create their own energy and love to share it with others.

        Both create energy, introverts do it alone while extroverts do it with others.

          Extroverts also tend to be more vampiric in my experience. This doesn’t make them bad though.

              Yeah absolutely where I was going with my point. The comments on the subject on Lemmy which compromises of mostly introverts is likely going to be biased.

            Selfish people are that way. Both introverts and extroverts. You just might come across more selfish people that are extroverts just by the nature of them being extroverts. Had nothing with them being one way or another.

            I would rather spend my time with an extrovert as I have the confidence to be myself while feeding off their energy. Many people feel insecure around someone who is outgoing and will intentionally or unintentionally try to find fault in them.

      I think what your overlooking is a long day consists of constant social activity. Unless you think taking a nap after hiking in the woods makes you an introvert.

      Shy + Introvert = You don’t want to meet people or go out

      Lazy + Introvert = You are good with people but they should outweigh the culmination of tired you will feel after going out
