[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand that American culture was built by and for extroverts, and that it can be exhausting.  However, I’m a little annoyed when I see people point to their introversion as a reason to not participate, not be polite or even not to interact.  It seems more like an excuse to act like a jerk than a legitimate characteristic, in some scenarios.[/quote]
[b]Sometimes introverts are rude. Sometimes extroverts are rude. Neither has a monopoly.[/b][/quote]

This.

There's no correlation between introversion and rudeness, any more than there's a correlation between extroversion and rudeness. Some people are just rude, period.

Also some people are so threatened by others setting physical or emotional boundaries that they have to label the boundary-setters as introverts rather than see their own rudeness in invasive actions and words. But the people who respond to the oversteppers with the excuse they are introverts are not doing anyone any favors. I fought cancer and turned 50 resulting in my giving zero Fs about protecting the feelings of people who are intrusive on my physical space or emotions. If you host a command performance I can’t decline and the central activities are oversharing and  gossiping, I won’t participate. [/quote]
