Him and the rest of our society.

Edit: Not to seem too negative, but I have just run into this attitude in most people that aren't introverts. There are advantages and disadvantages to both sides of that coin, but I feel like the introvert side gets labeled as the bad one.

Introverts don't necessarily have bad social skills. The average introvert is kind of an anti-nerd -- the same elements are there, but the causation is inverted. An introvert's self-imposed isolation comes off as snobbery, which creates a social challenge for them. Nerds are socially challenged, which leads to social isolation, which they try to frame as high standards (i.e., justified snobbery.)

The Introvert: introversion => social isolation => perceived snobbery => social challenges

The Nerd: socially challenged => social isolation => pretense of snobbery or introversion

Not necessarily with introverts, but with introverts who believe that their introversion is why people don't like them.

There are introvert athletes and actors and musicians, but they're more popular in society. One of the quote-unquote coolest kids I know is a drummer who just never talks. He's incredibly shy. He smiles when people talk to him and says nothing, and for whatever reason people just absolutely love him. So introversion in and of itself isn't the issue.
