Yet, most of us here are introverts, and we can talk to strangers easily, as long as they are genuine of course. So how can we be more open, yet introverted, while mainstream people who are extroverts are more cliquish and don't talk to strangers without a proper introduction or unless they drink alcohol first? Isn't that paradoxical? lol
That's a good point. Extroverts are NOT friendly to strangers, they only are friendly to people that they already know. Introverts on the other hand, are friendly to strangers as long the strangers seem like nice genuine people.
Extroverts are very cliquish and anti-social. Just go to any bar or club and you will see people who are loud and outgoing and seem to be the life of the party. These same people only talk to people that they already know and they do not talk to strangers.
Party animals are a good example of this. They seem friendly but in reality if your not part of their click of friends, you won't be able to become friends with them. I find it funny that extroverts can only be outgoing and be the life of the party if they drink alcohol first. They need alcohol as a crutch to prop themselves up.
Introverts don't need to get drunk in order to meet people. This is why you don't see many introverts at bars and clubs, they don't like the phony atmosphere and all the shallow people who like going to bars and clubs.
