Consider this mandatory reading.

… introvert culture? How can that be a culture? I hate how it’s being presented as a terrible thing, like if you’re introverted you’re contributing to a movement or something. Introversion is not synonymous with asshole. 

Tumblr (and really, a lot of web communities) put introversion on a pedestal. Introverts are always thoughtful and smart and they like books and tea and they’re not like those dumb ole’ extroverts with their partying and being loud or whatever.

It’s kind of become a thing.

Yeah us introverts are just lazy. But you didn’t need to write an article calling me lazy because I’ve been told that MY ENTIRE LIFE.

Did you actually read the article at all, or…?

Of course not, Cat. that would require effort.

Am introvert. Read article. Head did not explode.

TL;DR Do be concerned with caring for yourself. Do not expect the rest of the world to bend over backwards to cope with you. Everyone else has their own shit they have to deal with in life. Put in the time and effort to learn how you can meet the world somewhere in the middle. It will be more rewarding for the people in your life (family, friends, employers, etc.) and yourself. Engaging in circle-jerks that coddle without encouraging self-improvement is not healthy or wise.
