In recent weeks, introverts have been receiving a lot of attention on the internet, which they hate. Just kidding—they love attention! Talking about, reading about, and Facebook-sharing about introverts are an introvert’s favorite things to do.

According to the Wall Street Journal, introverts would be happier if they just pretended to be extroverts.

In one of those hilariously ponderous technology-meets-society stories for which the New York Times exists today, fabled internet thinker Clay Shirky (pictured) makes the following declaration: "Digital media is an amplifier. It tends to make extroverts more extroverted and introverts more introverted." This is false.
