        Same. Sometimes to the point that a sense of dread kicks in anytime I think of social interactions and I’m unable to use them.

        I just accept that the thing I’m really good at is being weird. It’s like a super power at this point.

        Happens at work all the time, I don’t wanna be a manager and tell people what to do, I just wanna be in my corner and do my work. I’ve been forced to develop these social skills but still hate doing it.

        Bingo. It’s not that us introverts can’t make friends, it’s that we won’t

      Yes:

      You can make a “punnentt square” with the two axis being Introverted/Extroverted and Social/Anti-Social

      I know many introverted people who are not Anti-Social (i.e. “Social” for the purposes of this example). I also know some people who are Extroverted and Anti-Social. Anti-Social Extroverts I find to be the most annoying sort of people. They are the type of people that will tell you they have, “No filter”, and don’t care about the consequences of their social interactions.
