Naw. X let's it fly and his line of thought is his own. It makes sense we all don't get along. He's an artist. You're a scientist. Two very different people.
But i do have a suggestion for introverts, just based on experience.
1) You need a good mix of introverted and extroverted friends (extroverted friends will help give you an excuse to do something and help give you self confidence)
2) Try to only be in hermit mode when you're trying to improve yourself or if you're recharging your batteries
3) don't be in hermit mode for more than a day, cause that's gonna cause craziness
4) Don't overthink your flaws, mistakes, missed opportunities and whatnot. Look at all those as things to improve on.
At the end of the day while it would be nice for people to just understand what your thinking, noone can. Obsessing about something won't get you any closer to that. Making it a goal, and coming up with a road map, or even just tinkering with your actions to get to the goal will, and it'll make you a better person, which is an overall goal for introverts

Just because you're an introvert doesn't make you a recluse.
Naw you still wrong b.
The world is perfect for introverts now.
Never before could you work from home on a laptop, send emails instead of cold calling and going door to door to make money.
Post on an online forum and talk to other introverts
Get whatever you needed, delivered to your doorstep
If you aren't fulfilled, it's not because of the world.
It's because you don't understand yourself. Dont confuse depression/soul searching for introversion.

Fire ass post. The coli is flexing it's mental muscle today. lol see bullying used correctly can be productive. I call people stupid because I want them to prove me wrong.
You two have proven me wrong and I couldn't be any more excited about it.
All personality types have a down side. I think it's all about how we put all the ingredients together. It's like a good recipe. We have to balance the flavors to get the best results.
To the fellow introvert brehs...(not the socially awkward motherfukkers that can't operate social mores...I mean introverts)
You have to understand something about being an introvert...it's not just about how you respond to people, but it's also has to do with motivation.
You are internally motivated. Extroverts are externally motivated.
You as an introvert wanna take your inner world and impose it on the "real" world and extroverts wanna change the outer world to their will.
The sad thing is...this is world is built and made for extroverts. Everything in this world is about external motivation.
Nobody really asks what you want and what you would like to do, they tell you what you want and what you should do. It's bad for introverts...it's a shytty way to live.
But it is fine for extroverts, that's how they normally function.
They see a shiny new car...they want it. They see the baddest bytch or the sexiest man alive...they want it. They see the biggest house in the neighborhood, they want it. They get told the highest grade a student can achieve, they want it. They get told what best college in the world is, they want to get into it.
And when they get the shyt...they feel like they achieved something.
Introverts aren't motivated like that. Introverts are motivated by "becoming". An evolution of our character or being...which has a physical manifestation in the outer world. Which is why we gravitate towards art and science and even sports. Mastering yourself and your craft has a physical manifestation.
Prime an example of an introvert is Kobe Bryant. Watch his interviews and how he approached basketball. He's a fukking introvert.
But there's hardly anytime or space for this...since we are in an extroverted world and we are ultimately made to conform to being extroverted while the more talented of us get into fields like the sciences and the arts and sports...where we can be introverted.
So getting the nice car, the big house, the baddest bytch or sexiest man, the highest grade, going to best college..it doesn't make us fulfilled...don't get me wrong...it's nice, it feeds our ego...but we wouldn't be fulfilled...
So while you are unhappy as fukk being pushed along the extroversion path which starts at elementary school..you think something is wrong with you...you don't feel anything...you feel dead...you aren't motivated to do anything.
You overwhelm yourself with physical sensations...
You overeat or you overexercise
You masturbate a lot or you become promiscuous
You do drugs
You immerse yourself into fantasy worlds via videogames or television...where you can drift away into your inner world
Or even worse...
You end up like Van Gogh...locking yourself away and surrendering yourself to the craft of your choosing at the expense of everything else. Which is cool in some masochistic way...but who wants to starve and paint all day
Find a way to break away from the extroversion. Find a way not to conform. Find your path. Resist extroversion, find your internal motivation and listen to it and pursue it.
@CharlieManson Great post and made me think. I sent you a PM asking for advice regarding my life and you never responded. Here it is again:
I am 31 years old.
I am unemployed/broke and live with my 61 year old mother who financially takes care of me.
I have 60,000 dollars in student loan debt and a two year degree in Business Management. I have so much debt because I went to a 4 year university and screwed around and was put on academic suspension. I never got a degree from the 4 year university because of that.
I live in Americus, Georgia which is a small rural town.
I am addicted to porn and fapping and looking at beautiful women online. I fap 5 times a day and look at porn/porn gifs hours on end.
I am a virgin and never had a girlfriend. I have no friends/social life.
I don't have a car and don't have a driver's license but I do have a learner's license.
I have only worked one job my whole life; a work study job while in school.
I am 5'9'' and weigh 275 pounds.

I agree with some of op's points
guess i can't be both
I will say that it may be a little harder for introverts to find happiness in life and contentment. Even with all the wealth in the world, there is something that just isn't exactly where/ how you want it to be.
Yeah bein alone is fine but being idle will take you down some dark rabbit holes

Nah, I was on the artistic side when I was younger. Most people on here don't know this. But art don't keep the belly full or money in ya pocket or hoes on your dikk.
Being able to convey coherent thoughts is non-negotiable for any adult male over 25. nikka need to get it together. It's something that a Male role model is supposed to constantly reinforce (something he never had ). nikka gonna turn 30 soon and still acting like a scatterbrained airhead hormonal 13 year old school girl.
shyt is disgraceful and inexcusable for a Black Man. You have some of the same immaturity issues excusing this as a left vs. right brain thing. Nah, it's about growing da fukk up controlling your destiny by being pragmatic and logical about the choices you have and make in life.
Buck up, drop the school boy antics, either get into a real industrial trade, tech career, corporate gig, start a REALISTIC AND PROFITABLE VENTURE or hack your way into anything that pays well with good livelihood and security.
Be that Janitor Asian nikka that earned 275k last year taking advantage of the ineptitude of BART. He busted his ass capitalizing off the White man's incompetence, inability to manage workflow and stupidity. Asians are not sitting round complaining about the Man they never did. Especially out in West coast. They came a long way from building railroad tracks for pennies way back. They never had their hand out. They may not be our ally in the race war but they are exemplary and there is no denying this period.
Ask yourself every time you see a successful Chinese in the area setting up shop - Why not a Black Man, why not me, and why not NOW?
A lot of you nikka too got damn old to be fukkin around biking and skating around broke as hell sitting round twiddling ya thumbs "dabbling" in bullshyt like that nikka in the show "Atlanta".
DO SOMETHING WITH YA LIFE nikkaS. GET SOME REAL AND TANGIBLE shyt STARTED.
