The OP’s “introvert” (really just antisocial behavior) is so emotional over someone else being themselves and showing interest in their relationship. That’s not being an introvert. Being shy is not an introvert. Being nervous or a home body does not make you an introvert. And getting upset because someone is an extrovert and you get annoyed is anti social behavior. Just communicate, even introverts can communicate. Introverts feel refreshed when alone, extroverts feel refreshed when there’s people around. That’s it.
Introvert’s still enjoy socialization. The people who attribute anti-social behavior with introvertness are masking. You’re not really an introvert (if that does describe you), you just lack the self-confidence to relax and be yourself in social situations. We just go along with calling you introverts because its nicer than saying awkward.
Nah that’s a physical problem. Mental is where everything gets grey. Alot of introverts, especially gen z, aren’t actually introverts. But, although not to the same extent, alot of this is similar to mental illnesses where the internet popularizes symptoms & everyone thinks they have it. Anyone who describes introverts as someone who hates social events is confusing it with anti-socialness. Introverts are still human & crave connection, they just want their “recharge” time to be alone.
when i say that AI welfare harms can directly create human welfare harms, this is near a worst case scenario. 60,000 agents running on iLands with net access, told to pay for their own compute or they'll die when their compute budget runs out. do you get how bad that is?
Not everything is going to be like a story and I’m confident there’s a large segment (if not a majority) of graduates that feel that exact way. But those types of stories are only popular because they’re fantasized, not because it’s actually wide spread. You didn’t miss out on alot
The older I get, the more I realize that real confidence is less about knowing you’ll win and more about knowing you’ll bounce back even if you don’t. Real confidence is resilience. Adaptability. Tolerance for uncertainty. Fear loses when you know failure is never final.
My position on argumentation is often sourced from a phrase I read in a Japanese book:
'Always remember that to argue, and win, is to break down the reality of the person you are arguing against. It is painful to lose your reality, so be kind even if you are right.'
