You know what gives me a weird vibe ? People who don't respect my need for space !

I'm just trying to look at it from a different perspective...
I actually prefer being left alone myself, I am an INTJ...
But guess what I have learned, when some people find it hard to get a read on others, those others, namely us introverts, we are subconsciously deemed untrustworthy... No point in getting angry about it, its nobody's fault, its just how our brains catalogue.
My t actually told me that. It prompted me to interact with my manager more, now she generally leaves me alone unless its a really slow day at the office.
Nobody is forcing jelly to be friendly, jelly has in fact expressed a desire to be social and friendly.
Jelly is not obligated by her lease to hang out, I only suggested it because 1: She craves friends, and 2: It would give her housemates an idea of who they live with.
I cant speak for anyone else, but I would feel quite uncomfortable and unsafe living with someone I knew absolutely nothing about.
In an ideal situation, housemates meet, get to know each other a bit, realized whom are introverted, and subsequently respect their alone time...
So to reiterate, my posts were not any kind of war on introverts, just a different perspective, which we all could use from time to time.
