Why do you think you are better than me? What have you done that gives you the right to sit on a pedestal above me?

If the answer to either of these questions is something other than “I am not better than you,” than you are probably an introverted person. What this means is that you think you are more important or above your fellow human beings. Why? Maybe you were raised to think this way, maybe it is natural. Maybe you don’t even realized you are like this. In any case I find it audacious that you view yourself in this manner.

Regardless of who you are, you are still vulnerable to death. You, like every person, will eventually die. Your physical life is just as fragile as anyones and this makes you equal to everyone else. You bleed the same blood and if you needed blood to live, someone would give it to you. Would you make that sacrifice for anyone else?

You are not the center of the universe and must realize that in a world of six billion people you have to wait in line like everyone else. Especially to the full grown adults, why do you throw fits in public when you do not get your way? You are not above the people around you and especially are not above those you are yelling at. Most likely they are working harder than you at that moment. Maybe you should take that into consideration.

You hurt yourself by being introverted just as much as you hurt those around you. John Nash’s theory on economics says that what is best for the group and yourself will benefit all greater in the long run. This is true for more than the economy. It can be set into all walks of life. If you focus on your own needs those around you will not benefit at all and then as the rest fall, either finacially, phisically, or mentally you will go down with them. Your success, no matter what you do, depends on others and without them you would be nothing. Take this into account when you are interacting with others. Helping other people is beneficial to you too you idiot!

P.S. Tomorrow I will be posting the follow up to this entry called “the audacity of extroversion.”
