>>81830373Introversion is on the fasttrack to being considered a mental disorder again.
At one point the ICD-9 medical billing code included introversion as a mental disorder, then it got removed ~10 years ago when the ICD-10 fully replaced it, and now it maps to "schizoid personality disorder" in most conversion charts: https://www.icd10data.com/Convert/301.21
The story still isn't over: Around the same time that happened, they tried to add it to the DSM-V, temporarily failed since the culture wars hadn't gone mainstream yet, but now there's increasing chatter about adding it back AGAIN. This has reached outlets as respectable as The Atlantic, as seen by this hitpiece: https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2022/02/ultra-introverts-nocturnal-lives/622856/
If you want a reason for why they add all sorts of dxes for flimsy reason, here's a few plausible ones I've heard over the years:
>to make you a paypig for insurance companies>to discredit, isolate, and eliminate you, socially>because FUCK YOU, THAT'S WHY.It's going to get even worse soon since the two newsworthy mass shooting attempts of 2024 (the faggot that took potshots at trump is being treated as one fyi) have been introverts. It's bitterly funny that a glancing shot at an unpopular presidential candidate and 4 dead hicks is what will set this fever dream from the last decade in motion, apparently worse than multiple classes of kindergartners getting gunned down. lol, lmao even.
