I would consider that definition to be overly simplistic and failing to capture an important point that is often referenced when describing traits of an introvert. Introverts find social interactions, especially in large groups, to be draining. I believe this to be a key distinction between people that avoid social interaction out of misanthropy or frustration or fear or depression or any of a myriad of other reasons that a person might seek solitude over the company of others.

The reason and motivation behind the desire to avoid social interactions plays a role in determining a course of action in responding to them and ending them early. If you find them draining, a simple "sorry, I gotta get going", when you start to feel drained, is all you would r really need. However, if social interactions trigger a negative emotional response, then more tools would be needed.

Here are a few references on the topic of introvertion:

Mutually exclusive or not. Nothing in the description nor the original post depicts introvert behavior.

What you described is being ~~antisocial~~ asocial, not introverted.

"The Why Files" and "Kutzergart".

If I'm really not ready to sleepy, I find the content interesting. If I am ready to sleep but my brain won't shut down then I ignore the words and I find the voices very soothing and relaxing.

This sounds like you are promoting an "I'm right, your wrong, and I have no responsibility to correct or educate." mentality. I'm not sure if trusting the people with opposing views to change on their own is the best approach. I think only deepens divides and entrenches opposition.

People with opposing ideas do exist in a vacuum and will have no problem putting the time in to recruiting others to their way of thinking and promoting similar thinkers to positions of power and influence. Ostracizing those you disagree can just as easily put you in a bubble of isolation, or an echo chamber, as them.

Not to mention that discussing opposing ideas improves understanding both by defending your views and by better understanding the why and origins of their ideas.

Why? Honest question, because I do not see anything in this post that would qualify for a NSFW tag.

Think of it like this

  • HTTPS hides what you are saying.
  • VPN hides who you are saying it to.

While I understand your perspective, you failed to mention their actions which specifically targeted new mothers in developing countries with unethical actions that resulted in the slow deaths of infants.

This is why I boycott Nestlé. Not poor treatment of employees, nor a disregard for the environment.

Nestlé implemented a plan that caused babies to die a slow and painful death while their mothers could only watch helplessly.

Fuck Nestlé.
