Do you think some people take pride/confidence to levels of hypocrisy?

Asked by Dansedescygnes (2881points) May 25th, 2009

For example, on Urban Dictionary all the definitions of “introvert” and “shy” are very positive and all the definitions of “extrovert” are very negative. Most likely that’s because this is the internet where most people are shy and introverted.

There’s nothing wrong with being proud of being introverted, shy, nerdy, etc. But to put other people down who are not that way is hypocritical. I’ve seen it before where “nerdy” people talk about how “dumb” and “mindless” non-nerdy people or “popular” people are. It seems that people can’t feel good about themselves without making sure other people seem lesser than them. People can’t elevate themselves without putting others down and that’s pathetic.
