A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Correct.
Introvert means you give away energy to others and you need to be alone to generate it.
Extroverts do not create their own energy which is why they need to be around others.
This is worded in a way to imply introverts are superior and the single source of "energy" to the world. This is incorrect, especially as extroverts can feed off each others energy. I know plenty of extroverts who create their own energy and love to share it with others.
Both create energy, introverts do it alone while extroverts do it with others.
Extroverts also tend to be more vampiric in my experience. This doesn't make them bad though.
It's gonna feel that way if you're an introvert
Yeah absolutely where I was going with my point. The comments on the subject on Lemmy which compromises of mostly introverts is likely going to be biased.
Selfish people are that way. Both introverts and extroverts. You just might come across more selfish people that are extroverts just by the nature of them being extroverts. Had nothing with them being one way or another.
I would rather spend my time with an extrovert as I have the confidence to be myself while feeding off their energy. Many people feel insecure around someone who is outgoing and will intentionally or unintentionally try to find fault in them.
