Yes, all those discussions about introverts sound more easily described as a bully society.

- Bullied people are afraid of talking and must prove their hypotheses all the time,

- Bullying people aren’t afraid of extrapolations, because even when they are wrong, they can use various forces to remain on top.



are you trying to claim that all extroverts are bullies and all introverts are being bullied?

i think not!

first of all, bullying is usually a chain. people who are bullies are themselves being bullied elsewhere (by their parents for example, or their bosses)

that alone makes this distinction difficult.

second (and i admit that i don't research this, it's just a guess), i believe most bullies are introverts because they don't know how to properly interact with others, and bullying is their way to get attention. extroverts can get attention more easily, so i suspect that extroverts are less likely to be bullies. but again, that's just a guess. i could be completely wrong here.
