Search Results: will it ever work

I've been an introvert for as long as I can remember, I've always kept to myself and often view the "popular crowd" very negatively, often seeing them as nothing more than immature entitled brats who will get nowhere when their parent's money runs out.

While that is most definitely a harsh characterization, it is an experience I've had frequently with those who consider themselves extroverts. I also find that these people are often real life examples of the Dunning-Krueger effect in that they're supremely confident that they know everything while simultaneously knowing absolutely nothing, which explains why these people are so liberal and dogmatic in their viewpoints.

For these reasons, I don't think it could ever work with an extrovert, although my first girlfriend was a conservative extrovert as they apparently exist, however she ended up sorta not really cheating on me. She ghosted me after being official for 6 months and reappeared only when I begged someone who knew her for an explanation and she'd gone with someone else as she then told me.

I've become much more assertive in the past year but still remain an introvert, not liking big crowds and rarely enjoying small talk unless it's with my current girlfriend who I've been with for the past 2 years following the fiasco that my ex created above. I see most extroverts as people who simply follow the herd, not taking a single moment to question what they're being told, or not being capable of thinking for themselves. Of course that isn't true for all of them but it is in my experience for most of them.

My girlfriend has become more assertive as well, not afraid to present an opposing argument and won't nod her head simply to avoid a debate. I'm the same way and the idea of nodding my head in agreement or staying quiet when I have an opposing opinion is a crazy idea to me. Me and my girlfriend are doing great and I couldn't be happier with her☺️
Do you date introverts or extroverts?

Of the eight teachers at my workplace, all of them are 30 or older, and either married, or soon-to-be married, and only me and another teacher are not really good looking. Today, the head teacher told me how he's excited for the weekend, cause he works all week and will finally get to spend time with his wife and maybe go to the lake. I remarked to him, "Oh, normal people stuff?" He raised an eyebrow and say, "Oh! I didn't know you were..." I knew what he assumed. "No, I'm not gay! I meant how I'll never have a wife, a partner, kids, or any of that stuff, cause I'm short, fat, and ugly. Obviously!" (Although we still have to wear masks here, so maybe he's never seen my full face before.) But he thought 'normal stuff' was 'straight people stuff' and not 'non-ugly people' stuff.

Has anyone ever mistakenly assumed you were gay before?
