To not understand how you can actually hate all people

I see it all the time on MN. "I hate people." How can that be? I'm quite introverted but need a level of social interaction to thrive. But on MN lots of people love WFH because they hate people, get into their "jammies" at 6pm because they hate people, are "fuming" because a check out operator made small talk, avoid neighbours, decline invitations - all because they hate people.

Weird.

She said “a level of social interaction.” Why do people seem to think that being an introvert means you want to live like a total hermit?

You're not introverted if you need social interaction to thrive.
