Introversion

What i was just trying to say was, that since everyone have their own special needs, then they aren't really that special anymore.

And the reason why a Introvert "Guide" is even made, its because (and i hope you agree), most introverts aren't really vocal about their needs or their actions, unlike extroverts that are really open.

Seriously though, the image should be considered more as a "Introvert General FaQ", since being and Extrovert or a Introvert are just the extremes of the spectrum, nobody says you can't be somewhere around in the middle, or more inclined towards one side, people after all aren't On and Off switchs.

Edit: Another common misconception that can be cleared about Introverts is that they don't really shut up any kind of social interaction, but if you force them to it, they feel often weird or nervous, making them tired of it, so all in all the "hamster ball" isn't really a ball of total protection against everything, its just their comfort zone, and going beyond there or having someone invade it feels awkward or weird (Missing the right word :X).

I do agree with that and many of the points raised in the comic, it's just that the guide makes me think more of a shy and rare creature than an actual person who might warm up more if they had a little more space. That and what you said about how people are rarely on the extreme side of either spectrum just shows how unnecessary this would be if people in general actually thought more about how someone other than them might be - gasp! - different.

Besides, some of those tips such as saying hello and being polite and relaxed are weird because everyone you don't know well would appreciate that. :| It makes introverts sound calculating and not inclined to waste time on small talk when that's not true of all of them.
