    even if you’re completely repulsed by other people but lonely, even if you’re on the autistic spectrum, even if you’re completely down at the bottom of a cynicism and isolation hole.

    This is not the same as being an introvert. (Which is a thing)

    Some people facing some of these issues could perhaps use the term introvert to describe or justify themselves or their behaviours, but it doesn’t mean they are correct.

      I don’t care about the specific qualities of the labels, I’m talking to and about people calling themselves introverts who are miserable and lonely and think that they can’t change.
