If you do, that's social anxiety, not introversion. It's attempts like these that make life for us introverts so hard, because everybody thinks we have that condition when in reality, we just need less socialization. A majority of us are socially functional.

Just because you have one condition doesn't mean you can go around appropriating and encroaching on others identities, that's hella offensive.

I would argue that you are completely right. But, it would surprise me if there isn't a fairly strong correlation between the two (corelation!=majority). Living in a society where expected social interactions far exceed the comfort level can sure cause some anxiety.

All that said, if you are anxious to interact with another person with very fixed frames for the interaction (like a person working in a shop at the checkout counter (I don't know the name)), then you have social anxiety and unlikely just being introverted.

I always found it so weird how Reddit, and now I guess Lemmy, see to fetishise being introverted lol
