Introverted people unintentionally end up coming off as social climbers: Agree/disagree?

[Anonymous]

OP I hear you and I think I probably come across like that because at work I only socialize with people I have to socialize with.

That's exactly what a spy would say. ^

I think this is A LOT of analyzing to do when you don't know these people or why they behave the way they behave. Also I don't think you can apply it to groups. So I disagree mostly because it's just a wild broad non-serious assumption.

I do think some introvert behavior gets labeled as uppity. 100% sure that when I go sit by myself at my kid's sports games with my sunglasses on (prescription) some people think I'm a b-word. But really I'm just tired from work and don't feel like talking to people I don't already know.

People seem to be piling on and perhaps missing the point being made, but yes I have worked with people who display this exact behavior. In my experience it ultimately comes down to those who focus on performative workplace behaviors, particularly focusing on facetime with higher ups as a means to get ahead. Some of these people happen to be introverts so it may be more noticeable when they don’t bother interacting with those who don’t benefit their careers. But it isn’t because they are introverts, other than qualities are probably driving the behavior.

I think introverts come across as aloof a-holes because they do not show interest in the people around them. I'm not saying they ARE like that, but that's how they come across.

Extroverts, good looking, successful and wealthy don't have to try hard so they come off as humble, friendly and nonchalant for just not being an a$$.

Social climbers tend to be more extroverted and are also very obvious.

+1. DCUM is obsessed with social climbing.

I'm more than willing to listen to the wine mom blather, but they never bother to talk to me. Because they find each other more "fun".

DCUM is full of introverts who hide out online.
