    I hate the Internet’s “extrovert vs introvert” tribalism. And it’s always the same two jokes. “Extroverts bad will suck out your soul and shame you for not liking it” and “ha ha we introverts use extroverts to get friends we don’t want friends we want to stay home and read and extroverts adapt us”.

    and then people wonder why there’s a loneliness epidemic and complain they have no friends.

      It’s not a joke. You clearly just haven’t spent any time around or are an insufferable extroverted early riser. We literally have to change the time the sun comes up because getting to work at 9 is just out of the question.

        what’s with the seemingly paired together disdain for extroverts and early morning people, I haven’t heard of this pairing before

        sincerely, an introverted early morning person

        it’s just nice to clock out at 3 and fuck off to live my life before it gets dark

      Life’s short and it’s nice spending it and sharing it with others.

      A lot of my friends that prefer to be alone actually want to hang out but most people hate organizing and stuff. So I usually make the effort. It’s better to have stories and experiences that are shared. Better being like, remember when we saw that game together? Remember trying to get home and being stranded? Remember going on that trip? Life’s short.

      I’m also surrounded by friends that say they wanna do stuff a regret not doing it. Although most have kids now, so they’re unable to have the time nowadays.

      To reiterate what you said, there’s about as many comments complaining about loneliness and how people forming bubbles and parasocial relationships with internet people and even weird AI relationships now. People act like it’s the worse thing in the world to hang out. It only gets harder when you’re older too.

      Let me be clear. I don’t waste time on people that never wanna hang out. If you wanna be home and are rude when I invite you out, I will very simply leave you alone. That’s fine by me.
