So I'm proofreading this book by a therapist and he mentions that introverts get a lot of oxytocin (good brain chemical) from just a few human interactions, but extroverts get less per person so they need to interact more to get the same amount.

And I'm like. That makes so much sense actually. Introverts please be nice to the extroverts, they might seem insufferable sometimes but it's 'cause they don't have your superpower and they're still tryna fill their buckets long after yours are overflowing. Also extroverts please recognize when your introvert friends are not deprived and if they have any more human interaction they will dissolve into a puddle on the floor.

"Of course, you can understand something of how disappointed I am and how hard it is for me to be quiet. In fact, I am not a patient - I am a very impatient! I shall not walk much before August I fancy."

-Mary Hibbard to Will, June 15, 1895.

Will's very extroverted friend Mary Hibbard was stuck in the house with a severe knee injury for much of the summer of 1895. She had previously been training as a volunteer nurse and ended up as a patient at the same hospital. She does not seem to have been happy about it.

I hate how extroverts and prosocials are so bothered and preoccupied by the existence of introverts and asocials, acting like there is some monumental epidemic of loneliness and nobody wants to be social anymore. No actually I think introverts and asocials have finally stopped forcing themselves and stopped letting you force them to be extroverted and prosocial when they're not. If you want friends, if you want people to talk to, then go hang out with other extroverts and prosocials who actually want to do those things instead of trying to force people who don't want to or can't do what you want them to.
