As an introvert my reaction to things are not common behaviour.
When people socialise we can take on others facial/body characteristics, it's called mirroring this is what helps us to become familiar and likeable. We like people who are like us.
The moment we come across someone different we get that pack mentality.
Anything we don't understand we conclude as weird. People see shyness and nervous behaviour as something to be creeped out about simply because it makes us cringe and uncomfortable watching the other person behave this way.
So calling someone a pervert although not nice it's simply because that cringe we feel we can't quite associate with anything normal. (a lot of pervs funnily enough are actually very sociable and come across very normal)
