I saw a post on Facebook with some cheesy meme in the vein of "oh, everyone tells introverts to speak up, but no one tells extroverts to shut up".
What surprised me were the comments. There was a lot of angry arguing in the vein of "introverts are guilty for their predicament". One sentence summed up the normie view perfectly "introverts just shouldn't let people walk over them". Here's the thing: I don't view conversation as a battlefield, especially with my friends (if I had any). I shouldn't have to constantly fight for my position in the hierarchy and just accept that if I'm not aggressive enough, I'll be "walked over". I think the goal of friendly interactions is making all participants feel better in some way, not establishing hierarchies and fighting. I think this is the crucial difference between normies and me: normie "friendships" are about temporary armistices between enemies, so they can unite in fight against someone else; I think friendships are about… well, friendships aka making each other feel nice, helping each other and cultivating virtues together. If someone attacks me, I consider them my enemy and walk away. If someone attacks a normie, they fight back and after going back and forth for a while, they consider each other worthy enemies, strong individuals and form armistice.
Now, the introvert-extrovert scale is just an euphemistic way of describing the autistic-psychopathic scale. It all boils down to reinforcement in early childhood: incel gets negative reinforcement when he tried to speak up, chad gets positive reinforcement. Incel retreats and tries to make the world a better place because he's experienced its cruelty, while chad grows up thinking he's omnipotent and everyone should listen to him. That's simplification because I'm not including genetics which determine your levels of empathy independently from looks, but looks are the strongest factor. Now, not every "introvert" is autistic, in fact one of my first blackpills was the discovery that larping as an "introvert" (aka autist) is usually a psychopathic tactic to claim disadvantage and manipulate people. It's impossible for a foid to get negative reinforcement in childhood (barring extreme cases), so they all grow up extrovert=psychopathic, but many of them will claim introversion=autism because it's an easy way to raise their SMV: literally not a single guy would turn down a foid because she's shy, on the contrary it's often considered a positive characteristic (it boils down to the culture of pederasty, but I want to limit the wall of text), while it's death sentence for a guy.
