"The weakness of extroverts lies in their tendency toward superficiality and an overdependence on making a good impression. Because they are well adapted to society, they usually accept popular social mores and convictions, and tend to be somewhat conventional in their judgments. They dislike being alone, regard reflection as morbid, and lack the tools for self-criticism."

"Are introverts arrogant? I suppose this common misconception has to do with our being more intelligent, more reflective, more independent, more level-headed, more refined, and more sensitive than extroverts. Also, it is probably due to our lack of small talk, a lack that extroverts often mistake for disdain."

hahahahaha

Both of those descriptions require the acceptance of extreme stereotypes, though. Real introverts and extraverts are typically not that extreme.

Which is precisely why it's funny.

Oh, okay. I mistook it for an "it's funny because it's true" type of thing.
