[quote=Anonymous][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]

Agree OP.  Skipping social work obligations is one thing, but not saying hello or good morning or acknowledging your coworkers is just plain RUDE.[/quote]

And not a sign of introversion so let’s not act like it is. That’s all it is- rudeness. [/quote]

It has a strong "I think I'm better than you so I am not going to lower myself to acknowledge you" vibe.

Rude. [/quote]

Indeed. But what you describe has nothing to do with introversion. It is possible that it is social anxiety making the person behave rudely, but it’s still rude, and with with social anxiety may be introverted or extroverted.[/quote]
