Nah that's OK, I would rather not be friends with someone who thinks I should treat them like a special snowflake just because they don't like people more outgoing than them.

Introverts don't want special treatment, they just don't want to have to make idle gossip and find interesting things to say about themselves.

We, as introverts, have our own little bubbles of interests; games, books, anime, horticulture, countries, history- whatever, but it's not something that the other person might necessrily be interested in, and we really lack anything else to talk about, so it gets embarassing and awkward. To talk about something new is out of our comfort zone and makes us all the more withdrawn.

You clearly didn't understand what it was saying.
Introverts are exactly as unique as extroverts.
It's just explaining (to people like you), that people like this prefer to remain silent more than not.
You probably mistake silence for rudeness, just as I take small talk to be rude and unnecessary.

You missed the point entirely.

Introverts are kinda like cats. You acknowledge their presence and ignore them, then they'll cuddle up right next to you. They tend to be rather skittish and anxious in social situations, and worry that the people don't want them around or will hurt them or something. Seriously, would you stay around someone who doesn't really want you around? But what if you can't really tell they don't want you around?

No I got the point, I have friends who are introverts. I treat them differently, yes, however I do that because I have built a relationship with them. That was not done by me approaching and talking to them while establishing trust not as if they are about to explode from social anxiety.

Not all introverts suffer from social anxiety
Not all introverts suffer from social anxiety

Exactly that was my point....and it's far from "Not all".....it's more like social anxiety and personality descriptions like "introverts" are two different things.

I know, that wasn't what I was saying at all. Did you even read why I put?

Did you even read the comic? Where did it say that they would explode with social anxiety if you don't approach this like this?
