I describe myself as a introvert too and never felt the need to make small talk with people I don't know. Even if I haven't talked to anyone in weeks. Does this make me non-human?
You might be more than introvert. You can be shy, anxious, anti-social. A grumpy curmudgeon. All things extroverted people can also be.
Also saying hi and bye or an acknowledging nod are not small talk.
So you think going out once a week to say hi and bye to someone you don't know determines your level of humanity, and if you don't want that you're antisocial?
Hey. You are the one reducing what I'm saying as a sweeping all encompassing statement about someone's humanity.
I'm saying that not being bothered to say hi and bye doesn't make you an introvert. An introvert is someone being comfortable with his inner self and preferring deeper contact with few than being a beacon of energy in a crowd.
If you can't be bothered saying hi to a stranger, of course you are still human. It's just not necessarily a trait of an introvert. Its Part of another character trait or the state of mind you're in.
