Nah more the introverts were finally free to turn down social invites from overbearing extroverts. Why do introverts always need to accommodate extroverts, but not the other way? Cant have a night in chilling playing games… cant always be clubbing every weekend… but no… thats boring apparently….

Covid really made it okay to say no to these people and that’s okay.

I am an introvert and I’m thankful for that. However, I still think people have generally declined in their ability to hold a good conversation over the past decade, regardless of whether or not they’re introverted or extroverted. I didn’t view that factor as related.

My comment was not an attack on any personal disposition.

Have you noticed how people just pull their phones out and start scrolling through stuff in the middle of a conversation, group activity, or even a dinner date now? It's kinda startling.

They seem to really struggle to focus on just one thing for any length of time without losing interest, even if that thing is just... interacting with another person.

It's depressing to watch, and often pretty rude :-(

Yeah, call me old fashioned but that's pretty damn rude

I think it's smart phones. I remember feeling super weird looking at my phone when I had people around. I've noticed people having whole conversations while looking at their phones.

I'm paralyzed by a gnawing fear that I'm bothering people, so I keep to myself.

It's really toxic!

Me too, it’s not easy of a trait as an extrovert

[-] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Fair perspective.

Why do introverts always need to accommodate extroverts

Because the introverts are too introverted to say what they really want.

Right… I smoke cannabis to help with that.
