What's retarded is the perpetration of the idea that there is something wrong with you for being an introvert. Why people stand for it and accept it is disgusting. If I called an extrovert retarded for being unable to spend a day or two alone without talking to people, so many people would rush to that person's defense.

We live in an extrovert's world yes, but there is nothing wrong with being an introvert. And now more than ever, developments like online shopping, work from home, online dating, online classes, even online pen pals, make it so much easier than before to live happily as one. Anyone who made you think you are retarded for being an introvert is completely unworthy of your time.

On the matter of it having affected your life. A question you might want to ask yourself is whether you want the benefits of being an extrovert or you were told that you should want/have them to be "normal" (e. g. partying all night, lots of friends, etc.). These things are not required to be "normal". But if you want those things, then it means you want to become more extroverted. That can be learned, but I'm not the one who can teach you. I fully embrace my introversion.

No, they are not. Introverts prefer to keep to themselves for many reasons. It doesn't make you retarded for not wanting to talk in a group of people who are loud and can't shut the hell up long enough for someone else to get a word in edge wise.

Not at all and don't get in your head about it. Introverts can be talkative and open up around those that they feel truly comfortable with.

Signed an extroverted introvert

Retarded from being extroverts maybe. Otherwise, it's a no from me.
Your perceived deficiency in mental acuity would be for another reason in my opinion.

[MCheetah]

No, we aren't, but that question is pretty retarded.

[BCRanger10]

No. Our very outgoing society may give the impression of such, but that is not the case.

Introvert is a learned behaviour, not a mental disorder.

[Neosporin]

Yes introverts think they're smart because they're introverted but really it's because they're just emotionally inexperienced and uninteresting.

All that alone time helps us analyze thing from all angles. Extroverts are all born with a cunt. They just can’t seem to stop taking. Now shut up and sell my invention you talk a lot.

[Neosporin]

@Whizzy83 For an introvert you sure like to talk a lot. I guess that makes you both a hypocrite and a moron. Reported and blocked.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

If you think so then you can just speak for yourself.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

If its extreme then their is a mental health problem.

[KrakenAttackin]

Not at all, we just live in a world that won't shit up.

[iBeowulf]

Yes, women are retarded.

[Vikkrram]

[Ironic_Method]

Two different words with two different meanings.

[OddBeMe]

Yes but we run the world. So suck it America.
