"I don't meet people"

 Thoughts on introverts and social meetings: a lot of them assert, "I don't meet people." This should be read as "I don't meet people, except when I really want to." Hence, if you're in a meeting and this comes up, it means that you're a special person and you should treasure their time explicitly (it is polite, by their culture). And if you're not in a meeting and this comes up, it basically means "fuck off". Given that I don't not-meet people, I should probably assume for the purposes of this edict that I'm an extrovert. Of course, the running joke I tell my friends is that I'm a repressed extrovert. Maybe I want to spend all my time with people who are clever and safe ... whereas it seems that most of the people I run into seem stupid and dangerous. Or maybe I would be crudely social if uninhibited, so offensive as to be imprisoned if I didn't just avoid socialising obnoxiously. Ah, the joke. I am.
