Is introversion an excuse for being standoffish? - Page 2

yes, but correlation does not equal causation. are richies more extroverted because they are rich, or rich because they are extroverted? or were their parents rich and extroverted and passed on their riches and/or values and/or biology of extroversion? or are there other factors involved (probably)?

A smart introvert will avoid situations where they could end up being considered standoffish.

Some people with poor social skills will use introversion as an excuse. I think a good measuring stick for introversion is whether the person recharges their energy being with others, or being alone. obviously a huge middle ground exists between introversion and extroversion.

that's how mbti defines it anyway.

I used to be very introverted and socially challenged. Now I love talking to and meeting new people. I'm not sure if I have become an extrovert or whether I am just an introvert with good social skills. I suspect I might be standing on the introvert/extrovert line.

Yes I think this is a good measuring stick as well.
