| For introverts, meeting people can be difficult. Part of the problem is that our natural inclinations run counter to common cultural expectations and values. People stigmatize the forms of interaction that would be most comfortable for us. Many consider introversion innately inferior to extroversion simply because they have never learned to value it as something equally beneficial. For example, I'm sure you have heard of "awkward silences," but there is no equivalent term for the sensory bombardment that occurs when people converse without pausing to absorb and analyze what has been said, and to integrate it into the internal framework of their thoughts. Silence is mostly awkward to extroverts. Introverts need a certain amount of it in order to achieve our full potential. Labeling it as "awkward" shames us into trying to fill the empty spaces with meaningless chatter instead of reflecting on what has already been said. I'm sure you have heard people talking about being "outgoing" as though it were a compliment, but where is the equivalent term to describe the positive aspects associated with the ways introverts interact? We aren't outgoing. We may be called reserved or even reclusive, and the depth of the bonds we form with a few special individuals is often underrated or unnoticed. It is commonly considered rude not to look at someone who is speaking, but to some of us, direct eye contact feels invasive. To some of us, it has an emotional impact that makes it impossible to focus on what is being said. Some of us struggle to do it, because it feels unnatural, like a violative act. Most social rules are set up to favor extroverts, perhaps because you are in the majority. This is why I consider online dating valuable. There are fewer social expectations to limit us online. In text, we can take long pauses to formulate our thoughts. We can say everything we mean without worrying about whether we come across as aloof or uninterested for failing to stare someone down. Online dating isn't useful for everyone. There might be ways that work better for you. This does not mean that your ways are better for everyone, or that ours are less valid. |

| Maybe you need to get a life instead of telling others that you know nothing about. Really do you even know the meaning of the word rude!?! |
