I will go ahead and reap the anger and hate of the sheltered Lemmy masses here, but there’s no such thing as “being” an introvert or “being” an extrovert.
As I stated after your other comment, this is factually incorrect and genuinely dangerous misinformation.
Neurodiversity exists and what most ND people need isn’t to be changed or “cured” for the comfort and conformity of neurotypicals, but to be accepted and supported for who they are and how they think, feel, and function. You are actively perpetuating the myth that ND people just haven’t “tried hard enough” to pretend they are like you. Stop it! This ignorant bullshit literally kills people. ND people almost always know what society at large expects of them and they just aren’t wired that way. You clearly have no idea what masking takes out of someone.
Again, stop it. You have no idea how much harm you are doing by spreading these outright unscientific fantasies.
I was once you, and and had the same feelings and wrong ideas that I derived from sources I sought out to reinforce my avoidance of change rather than looking at actual human experiences, getting therapy, and accepting that I could break free of depression, social avoidant behavior and anxiety and doing the fucking work. I’m not telling anyone my answer is for everyone, but if I can turn from someone like you, to someone like me, than I will NOT stop sharing my experiences and opinions and guess what.
This will really burn you up.
I’ve helped many, many people.
I won’t see another message from you, and if my attempts at reaching even a small number of people who need change bother you that bad, you also know what to do.
