Introversion

I'm...pretty sure I'm introverted? I tend to keep to myself because I got bullied a lot as a kid, and was more interested in stuff like video games and cartoons; so I didn't really know any good ways to interact with people my age. Especially other girls. However I legitimately have no idea of what that comic is talking about. If I have someone to talk to then I'll gladly speak with them. I get lonely, but I don't require people to treat me like I'm some brused babby who needs approaching a certain way. All I want is someone who won't treat me in a bad manner.

Although maybe I'm just not really an introvert? I dunno.

There are all sorts of personality-type tests around the 'net. Some were even posted here not too long ago.
But most people are some of each. Sometimes we want company, sometimes we want to be alone. I think that comic, more than it speaks about the "Introverted Person", should be taken to speak of the "Introverted Mood". Basically, be sensitive to people around you, and if they seem to need "space" - give it to them.

I'm an introvert and I can certainly relate to parts of the comic, especially about silence not being an insult and social interaction wasting using precious energy.

However, I don't have the personal space issues or antisocial vibes that a lot of my fellow introverts exhibit. I did debate for years and got over the whole talking with people thing ages ago.

I find that debate, and any other type of purposeful conversation or lecture, is far easier for me (as an introvert) than smalltalk. In fact, in social gatherings I generally have nothing to say unless a question of information comes up. Anyone who's tried to buddy me on Maple (or worse, "hang" with me) can attest to that. The only exception is when I can talk about myself and my personal experience relating to the topic at hand. (Like this right now).
