    You’re not an introvert.

    Look. Nobody else is gonna tell you this, so it’s gotta be me. You’re not an introvert, you’re just mentally disturbed. I know, I know, it was a nice little label, you enjoyed it, I know you did. But you’re not an introvert, it’s not normal that you haven’t left the house in one year. That’s not “just what introverts do.” That’s a you problem. Oh wow, you haven’t had any human contact in months. How quirky! Wow, you’re such a great introvert, haha. Just kidding, that’s a personality disorder. You have a personality disorder. Oh, you avoid eye contact when people are talking to you? You can’t go to parties because you’re too socially anxious? Ha. Doesn’t sound like something you should be incorporating into your identity with a label like “introvert.” Sounds like problems. Problems you need to solve. Sounds like fundamental personality issues that aren’t going to get better if you hide them under the label of “introvert”.

    That’s not how percentages work. It’s like how Republicans somehow believe Trump lowered prescription prices by 600+%, in defiance of math and reality. Yeah, we all know that those giant pharmaceutical companies now pay us to take their drugs 🙄 …

        The social battery is at -69%

        How does this imply existence of multiple batteries? The obvious answer is, it doesn’t. And what battery has more than 100%?? Again, none. Because the terminology is about the capacity, not the specific battery. It’s fine to want to appear smarter than you are, as long as it doesn’t defy logic and facts…
