Is being an introvert a social disorder?

I just found out that some people literally reffer to introverts as people with social disorder!!

I don't think I'm comfortable with that, the fact that I'm an introvert doesn't mean a have a social disorder..

I prefer solitude and small, meaningful interactions because that's what I feel most comfortable with...

A person with a social disorder avoids social situations because they feel intense fear, anxiety, or distress about being judged or embarrassed.

The difference is simple: an introvert chooses less social interaction, while someone with a social disorder often struggles with social interaction because of fear or anxiety.

Being introverted is not a mental health condition.

No, it's not a mental health condition. It's a personality trait.

I used to really worry about what society thought about me but the older you get, the less you care.
Being an individual is not a mental disorder
No being an extrovert is

no its not reslly a social disorder.
There are millions of opinions out there, pretty much everyone has one, whether it is right or it is wrong.
Given the calibre of most people on the planet, no.

I definitely agree with you

Some people are not happy with chatting easily with others and certainly not a mental disorder

It's not a disorder, it's not even unusual. Just a way of being a person.

I'm introverted. I've never heard anyone call it a disorder though.

It's not a social disorder. Being an introvert is very common all over. I'm an intovert and love my peace, quiet and solitude most of the time. I enjoy company sometimes and value my friends greatly ✨

i think it's a type of shyness probably had over controlling patients or unfavorable past social interactions or something idk

One of the superpowers of being an introvert is not caring what other people think.
Sounds like a social disorder
