Stupid, the society we live in is designed more ideally for extroverts. Nothing wrong with being introverted, they generally like being alone whereas extroverts probably crave attention just as much as intro prefers to be alone.
Wacky.
You know what the cure is for shy, disobedient, grieving children? Slap them and tell them to stop being such a faggot.
Tomato is a fruit, scientifically speaking… so pizza could never be a vegetable… we have people this dumb representing our country… god help us all…
I… don’t think that’s the problem here.
How do you design a society tailored to introverts?
What he means is that ANY society is ideal for extroverts, because yeah, you can’t really have a society without being social.
To answer your question though: the internet.
Online worlds
It’s greed. Classifying pizza as a vegetable cuts costs, and that’s all they care about.
They could give two-shits about children’s health.
Unless they contract diabetes. That will give privatized medicine a raging wallet-boner.
The drug corporations want everyone medicated so they sell expensive candy to the lazy, ignorant parents.
The drug corporations don’t want to cure disease, unless they can make a handsome profit.
They don’t want to help people, they just want to exploit them, and it’s despicable.
Well there is a difference between being an introvert and being a recluse (this might not be the term I’m looking for but it fits best at the moment).
If you’re an introvert and manage to hold a job, pay your bills and be about your business without really having a social life, who cares? Besides, it’s not like introverts don’t have any social skills, they simply just like being alone and to keep to themselves.
It’s no surprise to me that some people prefer to be alone. I enjoy a lot of alone time, but dude I’m quoting seems genuinely disenfranchised by socializing in general, and I’m not really sure how you’d build a society based on a lack of socializing. Even stuff like working, or finances requires socializing.
The real solution to all this is Asian parents.
Japan seems to have done ok. Minus the whole sex/population crisis.
Well, people do a lot of things out of necessity so I could see most introverts socializing because they need to, or they’re trying to keep appearances.
He is somewhat right though, society is built in general for people with certain qualities and everyone else is out of luck. Ultimately it’s just about finding a place where you feel comfortable, even if it means joining a community full of introverts 
(I would imagine there would be plenty of socializing here, even if it might bore an outsider to death). It’s not like introverts can’t socialize or are defined by having poor social skills, they probably just aren’t interested in the same things an extrovert would (seems like a lot of this is based purely on the person’s perception of things and which topics they consider important to them).
That’s a good question. If you are asking what a strong mind/ will does to remedy the problem… read, if not skip first paragraph
If one has a strong mind, an individual really doesn’t need these kind of medications. I had severe depression when I was younger. I fantasied at the idea of dying, of simply not waking up and having it all end there, how much better it would be. Rather than live this charade which in the end amounts to nothing but my death, why not simply die now. But I never told anybody about that, and I never acted or did anything to myself which would hasten my death. Never cut myself, never did drugs to try and escape, never tried killing myself once. I just thought it would be selfish of me to do so, I should simply play the hand that was dealt with me and make do. I guess I was lucky I had somebody to teach me how to develop a strong mind.
but how do you tell people to develop a strong mind, or to develop more willpower. And is it really a viable solution. No
America, “there’s a pill for that” :tup:
I find that kids who have been “diagnosed” with some sort of mental disorder have parents who want to find excuse for their shitty parenting.
Granted, there are some true kids who have real medical issues, but not everyone.
I wonder when being normal is going to be a diagnosed as a medical condition.
More like pharmaceutical companies want to sell their shit. Parents, many of whom are genuinely concerned that they’ve done a shitty job with their kids, are relieved to hear that it’s actually a condition with a long name that’s causing the problem, so it’s not hard to get them to buy into it.

You guys all in here owe it to yourself to watch this documentary. At times it does stretch out a little bit, but it’s well worth the fascinating insight you get with regards to all these “wonder drugs” that cure suppoed medical conditions that may not even exist.
There is no question about it, if Thomas Edison was alive today(he always questioned and was a very active child) and in our current school system he would be on some sore ot prerscribed drug.
Anything and everything is a ‘mental illness’ these days. This doesn’t surprise me one bit.
They told my mom I was slow and possibly mentally disabled, and that she should apply for government help/money if she filled out some forms.
She put me in a good preschool instead, then I got into a magnet elementary school.
I got a degree in CS and Econ. Pretty good for a slow kid.
