I would understand if they were talking about depression, but they didn't talk about it in that context at all. It was just like they assumed that not wanting to hang out with people is true for everyone, like they were secretly talking to a depressed, lonely person who doesn't want to admit he's depressed and lonely.
Being introverted is kind of the opposite in that I want to hang out with people and then I do and then I feel exhausted and drained and unhappy. Unless they are a person who doesn't count (family, roommate etc.), and then it's fine!
Yeah, that is a pretty crazy assumption to make! It would be so interesting if everyone secretly was just forcing themselves to make contact with other people, and it was this weird bitter pill to do so. I feel like if that were the case there would be a lot more pod- and carrel-based public spaces in the world.
