[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We hosted my daughter’s 13 year old friend for a sleepover. I took them shopping and paid for everything. There was not one thank you or acknowledgement - to me or to my daughter. The girl is really silent, boring, and rude. [/quote]

What an odd thing to do.  Do you know this child well enough to buy things for her?

DS has a friend who would do this.  He isn't an introvert.  He has a true anxiety disorder.   Diagnosed by a psychiatrist.  It took probably a year before he was comfortable enough to talk to us.  I don't know how long it took him to say "good morning" back to a teacher.  He probably never did with some.  Every morning was a new hell for him.  So maybe those coworkers who don't respond aren't simply rude.  Some are.  I worked with someone who wouldn't interact with part-timers.

I think introvert is too widely used.  I also think OP is using a very wide brush here.  There have been a lot of things I didn't participate in.  I had no self confidence.  There are still things I decline.  That in itself isn't rude.[/quote]
