The title is intentionally misleading, because the vast majority of you think the definition of introversion goes something like this:

Introvert: a very special person who has a social battery. Their scintillating intelligence causes them to prefer their own company, because they are superior to normies.

Introversion. This word is CONSTANTLY misused. Introverts aren't loners, they're not special, and they're certainly not magically smarter.

Introversion is,

"the tendency to be concerned with one's own thoughts and feelings rather than external factors or things."

That's straight out of the scientific textbook, in the "how to diagnose problems" section. Introversion can mean you have a preference for your own thoughts and feelings because you are a fully formed person, or it means you are a maladjusted pussy. Almost everyone who self identifies with the false version of introvert fits into number 2.

Introversion is NOT some condition that makes you naturally and justifiably uninterested in social interaction and group belonging needs. That is you being antisocial. Being antisocial is also a disorder, which is defined as,

"a state of confusion."

Having an ingroup in real actual life is a basic requirement to fulfillment. It also requires social skills, which is a critical and challenging part of developing into a man.

Building an ingroup is an uncomfortable and anxiety inducing journey for everyone, because acceptance is not guaranteed and those with lower talent for socializing will inevitably experience rejection and shame at some point. Talent is a given, but skills are built from work. Quitting because it didn't come naturally is for losers.

Work on it if this post resonates with you.


Destroy your Comfort Zones

TRP exists to help you figure out why you are deceiving yourself, so you can be better. Some of those deceptions are the result of social programming, but most are the result of complex rationalization schemes to avoid the difficult task of being better.

The sooner comfort zones of all stripes are conquered, the more of your life is left to go pursue meaningful accomplishments.

If you want to be like everyone else, by all means. Open a comment section on any platform, Reddit included, and see how the introversion hamsters spill their disorder into everything. Do you really want to be that person?

If not, stick around here. If you do, please get the fuck out. We are building things here.
