I don’t think we’re “supposed” to be natural enemies; we just don’t understand each other. I don’t appreciate most of the same things about extroverts as Josh does, but I have definitely come to realize that I’d rather be friends with and date extroverts than introverts, AND it’s easier for me to do both of those things than to date/be friends with fellow introverts. And there are different types of extroverts, as there are different types of introverts. People try to boil both down to one personality type each, but it’s just not the case. The extroverts in my family are pretty much all the kind of extroverts I want nothing to do with. Certain types of extroverts just get on my nerves 24/7, but not all of them are like that.
My boss expects my co-worker and I to eat lunch with him every day. I told my co-worker that one day we should just tell him we’re going out to lunch and leave, and she said that will hurt his feelings and he’ll act weird with us for a while. Seriously?!
