Telling a manager is usually policy, and altercations between coworkers frowned upon. Snotty workers get canned! At least in at-will states, haha. That stuff isn't acceptable in "real" life.
It IS sadly true, at least in my observations and experience. If an extrovert was picking on an introvert, they were told to stop, but not punished. The introvert is told to come out their shell.
That's a weird stereotype too. I don't have a shell. This is me. I'm not some weird creature with an exoskeleton, I'm just not as expressive as some.

Okay but when I was picked on as a kid, I was told to either ignore them or stand up for myself. The problem is that we as a society do not have a good solution for bullying and I don't think that is an extrovert vs introvert issue. The only solution that would work for sure is to make yourself not a good choice victim by physically beating the ******* **** out of whoever is picking on you but we can't have violence like that in a civilized society. We need to figure out how to actually handle bullies via maybe like some mandatory anger/regular therapy for repeat offenders to try and solve the root of their bullying problem. I dunno, I'm sure there are better ideas than that.
