Leads To: The Most Precious Resource: Legitimacy,
Collective Checkmate
Introverts are frequently criticized for ‘living under a rock,’ ‘being sheltered’, and of course ‘being out of touch with reality.
So what exactly do they mean by ‘reality’? What do they imply is an insubstantial fantasy land?
The extroverted critic clearly presupposes a very precise meaning of all that is ‘real,’ tangible, and substantial.
From their criticisms we can infer that their reality could be defined as as:
the sum of the shared knowledge, preferences, and actions of every person in a given mass society.
The more people who are doing any given thing, the more real it is. I suppose this because:
the strength of criticisms they administer is proportional to the popularity of x thing ‘everybody else has heard of’ or ‘everybody else likes’ or ‘everybody else has done/experienced.’
The extrovert critic demonstrates that being defined by their surrounding society is one of their cardinal values. This is a value that is suddenly and jarringly violated when they discover the ‘serious’ person in the corner hasn’t heard of their favorite band. So important and ‘real’ is a detailed knowledge of the mass collective that they quite literally conceive of its absence in one’s life as existence in a land of fantasy and illusion.
To understand the Loud perspective is to understand that being even slightly out of tune with one’s surrounding mass society is to be mentally ill. From their definition of reality, it is the logical conclusion for them to arrive at that someone divergent lives in a realm of delusion.
Not all of this stuff is true of all introverts. I’m an introvert and I’m assertive. I’d probably have to watch it with a host family, either in the U.S. or abroad. I haven’t usually felt like much of an outsider in my life. I’m a reasonable person, but I’m not a people pleaser. I do believe in dressing modestly, though, and I do believe in respecting many aspects of other cultures when traveling abroad.
My blog is written with a strong emphasis on more extreme forms of introversion.
To make meaningful, generally true statements, one must generalize I’m afraid. I stated in my very first post in this blog that I do not intend to subject myself to the usual politically correct paralysis.
As I have previously clarified, it is not my primary objective to be always agreeable.
I use the term ‘introvert’ mainly because people have heard of it and because it is searchable. Otherwise it is imprecise for my purposes and loaded with tons of pejorative baggage.
I actually like to substitute a more precise dichotomy of Loud and Subtle rather than introvert or extrovert.
Individuality comes from who you are on the inside it’s not about
being some shallow, socially oriented character without any depth. It’s about having your own perceptions on reality because anything else is weak and only runs away from the one thing that you are – That’s why people do what everyone else does even if it doesn’t fit where and who they are, out of fear.
Look at the social and popular woman of today, they’re social character is rooted in cause and effect influenced away from they’re biological nature – they’ve become the byproduct of the media, television, radio and beauty magazines and I see it happening more and more everyday
I’m an extrovert but I still have cognition of the way the world is today and the truth is, is that all of ‘reality’ is a subjective matter.
The extrovert is so fully obnoxious and believes in his own reality so
much that his reality becomes the dominant one, he controls
the interaction and anything within it which puts him in-control.
In the end the game of society is nothing more THEN A GAME.
Chicks act at all times look to gain and maintain your social status..
to them it is more important than getting laid with you and at any minute, so long as you lose that status they could drop you and leave you..
Woman aren’t attracted to genius, only strength and imagination and
consider what you can offer them (looks, car) before your integrity and character.
This is life and never assume that an introverted woman will be opposite, if an extroverted and dominant man comes within her vicinity – you can best guess she’s going to want to fuck him (secretly)
I think your a genius, but you’ve also sub-communicated enough to me
to let me know that you aren’t getting laid by any hot woman which is
fine but I’ll leave you with one quote to take into mind.
“One of the penalties for refusing to
participate in politics is
that you end up being governed
by your inferiors” – Plato
p.s I thought this page was going to be about the realities an
extrovert holds in his mind
as an introvert, and a woman, i’d say that what you just suggested is hokum and i resent that.
