Of course they do. About 8 hours per day extroverts are forced to shut up and not bother any introverts. It's torture for them!

Society in general encourages and rewards those who speak more, even if the things they speak have zero contribution or are absolute nonsense.

It's because human beings are by nature social creatures, it's harmful to be alone all the time

I actually had another adult clap her hands in front of my face, to interrupt me, after asking me a question, because she wanted to interject something she had supposedly forgotten to say to me. Being an introvert, I immediately stopped talking, and waited for her to provide an explanation for clapping in my face. I guess extroverts just have a different way of communicating than I do.
That seems less like being an extrovert and more like being an asshole :/

Does anyone else think extroverts are being incredibly fragile when they post about how they "can't" go to the movies or a restaurant alone?

You guys seem to do it a lot online.
I feel this so much. My boss talks nonstop from the minute he walks in the door until the end of the day and then asks me why I'm so quiet. At least I have headphones or I'd go crazy.

Lockdowns during covid kinda did this and the extroverts went crazy.
It drove my coworkers up the wall to hear that my wife, kids, and I were totally cool with being locked down together. And I had been working from home for years before the pandemic. I think they chafed at being locked down and the notion of anyone being okay with it was unfathomable to them.
All these return to work policies.
The extroverts mean well. They’re trying to help. They just struggle with critical thinking. We have to indulge them from time to time.
No they aren't, they are trying to get everyone else to conform to their preferences by forcing others to act extroverted instead of letting people be quiet in their proximity.
They struggle with empathy. They have no idea how to put themselves in the shoes of others. It isn't a critical thinking ability, it's pathos.
Massive generalisation. My brother is an extrovert and he absolutely does know how to put himself before others.
Not all introverts and extroverts will to fall to another same set of rules outside their already agreed definition. Stop trying to look for something else
All of this is categorization. Boxes to put around people. There is a reason there is no medical diagnosis for introvert or extrovert, as there isn't with any Myers Briggs things. It can help one understand people in some ways, but can push one to misunderstandings. Source: parents in psych, and we can tell you what you think your Myers Briggs is shortly after meeting someone.
put himself before others.
Not sure if ironic typing mistake or accidentally admitting it
Typo, thanks
THIS! But unfortunately the whole modern world is build for and around extroverts
Introvert doesn't mean shy or socially anxious. I regularly tell people to shut the fuck up if they're in my space being annoying.
I did that for a while, but got shit for it everytime and just stopped going out because it wasn't worth the hassle.
Exactly this, my dad’s an introvert but is the most charismatic person I know. He does great with people, but is the last to arrive and the first to leave since he finds it so draining. He “recharges” when he’s by himself.
I'm the opposite. I'm an extrovert but really shy.
That's kinda what I do too. I acknowledge it as an effort that needs to be managed and have strategies to recharge afterwards.
I don't hate being around people but it does take a lot of energy.
