    The extroverts mean well. They’re trying to help. They just struggle with critical thinking. We have to indulge them from time to time.

      They struggle with empathy. They have no idea how to put themselves in the shoes of others. It isn’t a critical thinking ability, it’s pathos.

        Massive generalisation. My brother is an extrovert and he absolutely does know how to put others before himself.

        Not all introverts and extroverts will to fall to another same set of rules outside their already agreed definition. Stop trying to look for something else

          put himself before others.

          Not sure if ironic typing mistake or accidentally admitting it

          All of this is categorization. Boxes to put around people. There is a reason there is no medical diagnosis for introvert or extrovert, as there isn’t with any Myers Briggs things. It can help one understand people in some ways, but can push one to misunderstandings. Source: parents in psych, and we can tell you what you think your Myers Briggs is shortly after meeting someone.

      No they aren’t, they are trying to get everyone else to conform to their preferences by forcing others to act extroverted instead of letting people be quiet in their proximity.
