    What you actually mean when you say ‘I assume people are smart enough’ is ‘I expect people to make the same assumptions as me’. People come from very different contexts. You can either drop that wall of qualifiers and be understood by most, or skip it and only have a few get your point. It sounds like you know why you’re being misinterpreted and, for whatever reason, want to keep it that way.

        I’m glad you worked and improved yourself, but quit trying to “fix” other people. I’m not even mad as you assume. But it baffles me that you don’t understad that not everyone that labels themselves as one thing you don’t agree on is “fucked up”.

            Then please reframe your approach, accept that introverts exist and stop invalidating us. You say “There’s no such thing as introverts” and that’s not the way to go about offering help, it’s harmful, you generalize and I’m not the only one that interpreted it that way.
            That’s what I’m trying to get across.
