Makes me realize how many display their introverted behaviours by not raising any eyebrows, which makes it surprising when someone actually admits to it. And I totally agree that some of the most obnoxious people I've met are extroverts. I think it's because they draw their stimulation from others, especially the opinions of others, and act like poseurs so that others will think of them in a certain way.

There is nothing "wrong" with us. It is degrading and a waste of time to offer explanations, and it is an insult for others to do that for us. Most introverts don't bother anyone. And some of the most obnoxious people I've ever witnessed have been high-energy extroverts. Yeah, I guess you hit a nerve or something...
