I’d love some suggestions on how to deal with people who not only consider me aloof, but don’t understand my un-need for lots of friends, nor why they feel we are more intimate friends than I do. People seem to be hurt that I don’t go out of my way to interact. It’s my personality…I’m pretty much self sufficient, and that’s just the way it is. That is the real me, and I don’t care to fake being different than I am to make someone else happy.

I can definitely relate to this, sometimes I feel as if I’m being judged because for just being quiet and when they accuse you of having no manners, it’s the worst feeling ever, it just makes me more guilty. 🙁 thank you for this article by the way.

I dreaded the weekend in college. Avoiding parties by hiding out in the library or student union until closing. Arriving as late as possible to the inevitable “where have you been?” Last to arrive, first to leave.

I just want to say as a 62-year-old black grandmother in Minnesota with a 16 year old granddaughter that comes from a white culture. In my world she would come off as rude and offensive. I understand her and her background but she will get emotionally beat up when she finally has to come into my world because eventually she will have to and I really feel sorry for her. Just my humble experience.

I think it’s easy for people on different sides of the introvert/extrovert scale to misinterpret the actions of others. We all need to cut each other some slack in my opinion and not be quick to judge before we get to know someone.

I’ve often thought of extroverts as being rude when they are being really loud or not giving me enough personal space. I am an INFJ HSP though, so I won’t tell the other person what I’m thinking because I wouldn’t want to hurt their feelings.

“Snob” and “Elitist” are the two that I get… because somehow, minding your own business makes people think that you feel you are better than them. Couldn’t be farther from the truth!

What a bitch your neighbour sounds like. I have found that more often than not, people who make negative assumptions about others are either projecting, ignorant and/or just rude.
