[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think OP means the newly pervasive attitude of people constantly saying they don't care--particularly on social media. Like, we get it. You don't care. Being an introvert is now glamorized while liking people and being social is considered a type of weakness. I have a cousin who has been saying this since the nineties, we were part of a close circle of friends but she has been since cut out, and guess what, she actually doesn't "not care"![/quote]

I’m an introvert who cares deeply about other people, has good social skills, and makes an effort with others. In fact, I think part of my introversion is due to the fact that I work at being kind and thoughtful towards others. I need alone time to recharge because when I’m with others, I give more than I take.

If people are using introversion to justify being jerks, they aren’t really introverts. They’re just selfish and lazy[/b].[/quote]

Some people are using "I'm an introvert" when they really mean "I'm a judgemental, anxious, agoraphobic jerk."

I'm an introvert who's living my life. In the early stages of the pandemic, I regularly walked with friends (not 6 feet apart). Then I joined outdoor fitness classes. Then I returned to the gym, saw people indoors with masked. Ate indoors. And progressed until I'm back to normal.

I still need to recharge by myself, at home. I don't need to hang out with people every day or even every weekend. But I have all my shots and value my quality of life. For the people that are naturally more social than me? Cool. For the people that are less? Cool. For the people that are using "introvert" as an excuse to judge people or as a cover for their anxiousness... that's a "you" problem.

Exactly this. The term introvert has been appropriated by people who are anti-social but don't like that term. People who have no friends are now calling themselves "introverts."[/quote]

Oh okay. Sounds like the extroverts are just mad that their social calendar of endless kids parties are still curtailed. No one cares.[/quote]

 I forced myself to care about all these damn wasteful large kid parties pre pandemic, and it's been so glorious not to have to go and buy crap for them that I also no longer care. [/quote]
