I was just "talking" to my brother online and I like how he basically told me I don't have a life even though he didn't say that verbatum, I have just moved to New York four days ago and I don't like to be around people 24/7 so I'm sorry if I'm not the most outgoing introvert that exists. It makes me kind of really angry not that I would ever express that to him or anyone because like to express my feelings not directly to the person, which I guess is kind of bad but it is just how I am. It doesn't make you the better person just because you may have more friends than I do. Or are more social. It is just a big axiety attack for me just applying for a job. Because I have never really had any reallly good significant friends, I am also kind of very socially awkward and most people aren't even worth getting to know. Not that I don't want to make friends with people who are like minded, I'm sure I will do that eventually but it will just have to take time.

To be honest, it sounds like the sort of criticisms he was making are grasping at straw.

I've found that, when people say, Get a Life, they generally refer to their lives. The last person who said that to me, I told them that I really wasn't interested in STDs. But thanks for the offer.

(rar, warning, hardcore opinion!) Someone who has to build THROUGH people is ultimately hollow and meaningless. ^^; An extrovert should only build OFF of people, to which the extrovert forms oneself socially yet ultimately will still structure their development by internal thinking.  An introvert has a similiar danger which is to -avoid- making a worldly impact, which isolates the individual into futility.
One must remember that humans always partake partly off of both ends...It is unhealthy and debatably impossible to be raw intro/extro, and it feels like your brother is asking for a raw extro experience ;.;

(edit: added))
I say this because it feels like the basis of a proper decision is that one has to have friends and be social, even as soon as immediately. >.< proper extroversion comes out of a pace, rather than being dictated by fullfilling a standard.
