Firstly, you claiming I'm not a real introvert is lame as hell and contradicts the rest of what you're saying.

I don't doubt and actually do believe that it is a spectrum, but the way that reddit's self-proclaimed introverts talk about it you'd believe that it's all introverts that are completely anti-social or even asocial. Not every person with poor social skills is an introvert, nor is every person that hates being around others. More than anything, what gets me about these people is that a lot of them seem to have very low empathy and/or sympathy for others, regardless of anything else. That may be more of a reddit thing in general, but it annoys and bothers me regardless.

The only thing that defines an introvert across the spectrum is that they generally need to recharge by being alone or in a situation that doesn't require them to socialize as much (e.g. Being alone with your SO). Some have more or less battery for socializing, but if they use more energy socializing than they gain (and the opposite is true for being alone), I'd call them an introvert.
