    Because talking = socializing, and socializing is a core concept in the human brain which evolved with the need for a community to live in, which is easier to do when you socialize with its members. So for our society socializing = good. Not socializing = bad.

    And it suuucks ass.

      Hey how’s it going? No, don’t actually tell me how it’s going.

      Boy… the weather sure is outside! Being alone with my thoughts scares me, so I will make dealing with me your new unpaid job.

        What’d you do this weekend? If it takes more than two sentences to describe it to me I’ll stop caring and just talk about myself. I’m not here to learn about you, just drown out the incessant ticking of my own mortality.

    My MIL is this kind of extrovert. She assumes that if someone isn’t constantly talking to her that they hate her.

    Look lady: I love your daughter to death! I love you to death! I DON’T HAVE ANY NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN MY LIFE!! And you KNOW that!! Trust me, when I do, I WILL LET YOU KNOW!! In the meantime, business as usual and I don’t have any opinions on anything outside of my purview!

    I swear, if ever she was forced to sit in front of a group of people in silence, her head might explode.

    Because the worst of us all run everything, and you gotta just deal with it wage slave.

    You don’t consent to being born. You are forced here and are a prisoner of your living expenses.

    I’ve been told I’m annoying and need to shut up as long as I can remember. Probably since I started talking.

    I’ve been trying to find activities I can do on my own. I like being on my own and doing stuff by myself. But when I look up “fun things to do as an extrovert” and the results are pages of “how to not be an extrovert”. Like ffs I like being an introvert, why this obsession with changing my personality style and trying to force me to be something I’m not

      Try “alone” or “by yourself” instead of “introvert.” (I assume that’s the word you meant.)

      I’m neither introverted nor extroverted, but I do shit alone every day!

      Found a new trail to hike by my house, along with the miles of “wild” trails in the woods here. Just got back from a 4-mile.

      Yesterday I kayaked a couple of miles in the local swamp. Saw beautiful things!

      Also, I lay in bed and read everyday, even if my wife is there. If she wants TV? Ear plugs, I’m basically alone.

      EDIT: Forgot to add: I found these things to do simply by poking around on Google Maps, seeing what was around me. Not “official” places, just looking at geography. It’s free.
