[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a big company holiday party last night.  I didn’t go but didn’t decline because I’m an introvert.  I RSVP’d no without any comments because I didn’t want to go.  Most of my colleagues weren’t going for a variety of reasons, but overall because they had other things they would rather be doing. No one gave being an introvert as a reason.

I could see OP being one of the people who loves the work social events and thinking all of us are rude introverts.  [/quote]

Or, one of the people who thinks it's rude if people don't get validation from running through a "cheer line" of clapping managers at a mandatory work "appreciation" event or if people don't want to dress up for Halloween and trick-or-treat at each other's cubes. [/quote]

I don't know what a cheer line is, but if you office or your neighbors or your school etc makes an effort to encourage connectedness and community, it's rude to always decline.  I am an extrovert and I hate that stuff.  But I show up.  As a manager, I turn on my camera, participate, and have a good attitude because if one of my team members took the time to plan a holiday activity, I show up for it and I participate and contribute.  The problem with many introverted people is that they like community, they like good dinner conversation, they like environments where people get along, but they don't invest any of their energy - it's like we are all there to entertain them.
