I get annoyed by this one guy at work who is always wanting to go on lunch and talk constantly, usually it is about really inappropriate stuff and often times he just says it right inside the office like no one can hear. He's obviously not really good financially, seems like he has crap tons of debt since he throws money away like it is nothing, acts kind of like a kid yet this guy is 5+ years older than me. Wants me to go outside with him when he takes smoke breaks etc. He got laid off at his last job.... and I can kind of see now why...
Kind of annoying. Kind of don't like extroverted people who force themselves on everyone

Oh true, I mean with a girl it is different. I could take a extrovert or introvert girl and I don't mind if she wanted to do things, hell I could use that myself since I rarely feel motivated to do things outside my norm even though I want to
But at work... maybe it is just this guy though now that I am thinking. I am surrounded by marketing guys and they're all kind of cool and respect their boundaries.

That's a good article! It really relates to a lot like me. At work I am quiet, I try to keep small talk to a minimum and etc because its not like I am not interested but it is just pointless to talk about. I do awesome in presenting in meetings and getting my point vocalized when I am the one who's taking control. I really do feel drained after going to parties and hanging out with people.
I am not an extrovert AK  I'm as far introvert as someone can be

One of my daughters is an extravert. I'm not.
She constantly has to talk, touch, and hug. I'm a far more private person. I don't like casual touching, especially if I don't know the person well.
She lives for social interaction. I do not. I used to actively avoid it. Now I will tolerate it to a degree.
My oldest and third daughters are both quite happy to spend the day in the same room as me watching tv, playing a video game, or reading a book. All without any chatter. That is a good thing.
Yet Daughter #2 walks in and all sorts of chatter, whining, complaining, and social drama starts.
I'm beginning to suspect my youngest is an extravert as well.

Depends on when the introvert is cornered by the extrovert.
Basically the difference between being an introvert and an extrovert is whether or not you need people to 'recharge the batteries', so to speak. You can be a very outgoing introvert, or a shy/socially awkward extrovert.
Me, I'm an introvert. I joke and laugh and have no problems talking to people whatsoever, but at the end of the day I just want to go home and vegetate. My wife knows better than to say anything of importance to me for a good hour or so after I come home, because I don't want to fkin talk to anyone. I certainly don't mind hanging out with people who get energy from socializing, but I damn well don't want to talk to them when I'm trying to unwind. Being around other people generally doesn't relax me.

I agree. I think it is more normal for women to be extroverts because they never stop talking anyhow. For guys though.... hmmm... kind of strange.

Someone's a bit sensitive on this issue, apparently. The focus of the article was on how introverts are often misinterpreted and not understood. It wasn't a comprehensive tell all about socialization between intro/extroverts.
While a couple parts could have been written better, overall the article was very on point for what it was meant to discuss.

Look at the language of the article.
Or—my favorite—"a minority in the regular population but a majority in the gifted population.
Extroverts therefore dominate public life. This is a pity. If we introverts ran the world, it would no doubt be a calmer, saner, more peaceful sort of place.
Are introverts arrogant? Hardly. I suppose this common misconception has to do with our being more intelligent, more reflective, more independent, more level-headed, more refined, and more sensitive than extroverts.

So two blips in a 1000+ word article. Your critique is obviously not drawn from those two parts, as your comment is not centered on the "Introverts > extroverts" issue.
"This guy comes across as self absorbed and unempathic. IF ONLY OTHER PEOPLE WERE AS REFLECTIVE AND THOUGHTFUL AS I AM. BOO HOO EXTROVERTS DON'T UNDERSTAND US CARING FOLK. **** you."
I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of 'gifted' people being introverted was actually true. Not just because introverts are 'smarter', but being introverted tends to make a person focus more on their interests/work. Extroverts naturally end up focusing on their people/"life" more.
The other blip is the most contentious part, to an extent he just explained poorly. Those are common strengths of introverts (which he feels pride for), extroverts tend to have other strengths. But these are just trends, and there are lots of exceptions.

I'm fairly introverted (like to be alone, don't talk a ton, etc), however when I run into someone who's more introverted than me it's just f'n awkward. When I feel like I have to prod the conversation along, it just sucks. Prefer extroverts.

She constantly has to talk, touch, and hug. I'm a far more private person. I don't like casual touching, especially if I don't know the person well.
Ugh. Fkin huggy people. I barely hug my own family, I only want a hug from someone not related if they're a hot chick. And even then, you better not be in my personal bubble. 3+ feet away, please. Don't touch toes and then talk to me, I hate that.

So two blips in a 1000+ word article. Your critique is obviously not drawn from those two parts, as your comment is not centered on the "Introverts > extroverts" issue.
My comment is not centered on the "Introverts > extroverts" issue because there isn't one. The author of the article is just so self-absorbed that he seems to think the social interactions of others are tailored to cause him discomfort. Instead of just admitting he has a preference, he instead tries to turn this into some kind of us vs. them bs. And this attitude is littered throughout the article, I just wasn't interested in copypasting the whole thing.

I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of 'gifted' people being introverted was actually true. Not just because introverts are 'smarter', but being introverted tends to make a person focus more on their interests/work. Extroverts naturally end up focusing on their people/"life" more.
Eh tu, brute?

The other blip is the most contentious part, to an extent he just explained poorly. Those are common strengths of introverts (which he feels pride for), extroverts tend to have other strengths. But these are just trends, and there are lots of exceptions.
And maybe he explain himself perfectly, you don't know unless you're the author. All we can go by is what was submitted.

How am I supposed to hug you from 3 feet away? Is that where your penis is?

I go back and forth between the two. Sometimes you can't get me to shut up, other times I feel like punching you in the throat every time you try to start a conversation with me.
I prefer extroverts though, I hate awkward silences.

Yeah, we have had to work hard to get her to the point where she asks / gestures to get the okay to give a hug. Unsolicited hugging / touching drives me up the wall. More than once I have had to restrain myself from punching / elbowing someone from an unsolicited hand on my shoulder.
Daughters #1 & #3 picked up on my dislike for personal space invasion from the get-go.
Sadly even after being with my wife for 17 years, I still have that twitch of "ack, someone is touching me" when she walks up alongside me and gives me a hug as a surprise. I have gotten better at suppressing it for certain people. It used to bug her a lot. Now, she accepts that it is just a part of who I am. The fact that she understands and I have made an effort to open up a bit has worked rather well.
Most of the people that will hug me know me well enough that they will look at me and open their arms, giving me the choice to accept the space invasion. They also don't take my occasional refusal of a hug as an offense either. They know I have issues with people in my personal space.

I am introverted up the wazoo, but have many extroverted friends. I like them all (I am very particular with friends), but they do accidentally get on my nerves from time to time. I just tune them out and chalk it up to my ADHD and an apologetic smile. It has been my experience that if you just nod they will just keep going and never miss your wayward attention--they are talking to themselves, not you.

Exactly, the point of this thread is Introverts > Extroverts
But really the guy is okay and all for sure, I would even call him a friend. But I often times need to be alone, plus I really hate spending money on going out somewhere to lunch everyday. That's money I could be putting towards a car >.>
