What is antisocial? I mean if someone isn't interacting with other people they are not being social - anti-social. That's what introverts are. imho.

Lack of self-esteem is found in both introverts and extroverts. Except introverts use anti-social behavior to cope with it whereas extroverts overcompensate by being more "loud" to compensate.
excellent. so true. someone's response to not feelign good abotu themselves manifest in different ways. It does seem though, that interacting with people is more effective at bringing about self- esteem.

I'm not trying to discredit real life relationships (they are importnat to maintain). I'm just saying that this article draws on extremes to make a point.

Completely discrediting online relationships are really just a form of ignorance toward introversion.
maybe it's fine to be introverted. just seems like a lonely way to be and not how humans were naturally built to be. big joys come with being with people, imho.
