Because prison and a psychiatric institution are the two places with alot more introverts than you're likely to find anywhere else.
"Most of them also have absolutely no "cold uncaring demeanor" at all."
Note that I was speaking about those with schizoid tendancies (many introverts indeed). So yes they do. Many people exclude themselves from society due to this behaviour.
"I spend a lot of time at a library, and most of the people there are introverts."
In a library people are quiet, quiet due to the rules. That is all.
You have no experience within all three places, I do.
As usual it's me speaking through experience and observation only to be "told" by a bunch of teenagers, sheltered adults and Americans as to how the world works.
They were just random things I have noticed on the fringes of society. Places that, unlike you, I have actually been.
But we're not talking about the "fringes of society", which is exactly why your point doesn't stand. We're talking about "normal" introverts (yes, they exist). You can choose to talk about the "fringes of society" until the cows come home, but when everyone else is talking about something different you're obviously going to get pulled up on it.
It's funny how you change from making broad generalizations ("more often than not...") to "just random things I have noticed". I'm not the self-righteous one; I even *admitted* my observations weren't that meaningful. You're the self-righteous one for trying to pass off your judgements based on random observations as truths when there's no useful evidence for it, then downgrading your own point to "just things I noticed" when it's challenged.
Your experience =/= "truth".
My experience =/= "truth".
I'm not trying to tell you how the world works. I'm trying to tell you that it's limited to use your personal experience as a way to make judgements on the whole world when other people have different but equally valid experiences. The same limitations apply to me, and to the rest of the world.
Everybody already knows about the "normal" introverts, so I wasn't speaking about them.
You say we're talking about the "normal" ones but I wasn't, just you. YOU responded to MY comment not the other way around, so no we are not talking about "normal" introverts. Infact I have no idea what you're trying to prove or even say, except for telling us what we already know.
I'm talking about the other side of it, because many haven't had the contact with the "other kind" of introverts that I have. I was speaking in specifics and you butt in and generalise it, muddying what could be an interesting point to expand on.

So lay off the self righteous bull.
