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.


This is an interesting perspective.
I'm personally an ENFP (extroverted), so the idea that someone needs tons of alone time alone in their room boggles my mind. I need a couple hours a day and that's pretty much it. I use alone time to be productive and work on my many hobbies. But honestly, too much alone time makes me feel depressed.
