An idea worth spreading so I wanted to share.

Something I've noticed Material concerning the introvert/extrovert dichotomy, the binary nature of which I think is a gross oversimplification to begin with, tends to place introverts on some kind of pedestal by implying that they're more thoughtful and clever than those "bloody [i]normal people[/i]". Also I often see things telling extroverted people how to accommodate for introverts but never the other way round because god forbid an introvert should go out of their comfort zone, they're far too important and special for that. I don't know whether this stems from some feelings of superiority or what but it's interesting to look at. Before anyone says "You extroverts just don't get it" I would be probably be classified as an introvert as well, I just don't let it define who I am.
