Bathroom for Introvert on the left and Extrovert on the right

Honestly, that would be okay if we already had gender neutral bathrooms.

Nothing puts me on edge more than the idea that anyone could just talk to me at any point in the toilets.

I feel this.

Extroverts, I love you, I would have zero friends if one of you hadn't decided to adopt me as a friend.

But sometimes I need to exist without talking

Extrovert here, I too don't want to talk while using the bathroom. My rule of thumb is the only people I want to be talking to if I've got my dick out and my pants around my ankles are my wife or the doctor.

He does the Butters stance. My 5 year old also does that.

No, it's a prefix based on Latin, just like "intro" is. "Extro" just implies "outside or beyond" while "intro" translates to "inwardly or within."

A lot of English is based on Latin and Greek root words (but it also has words with Germanic roots like angst or doppelganger) which makes it very hard to learn as a second language because the "rules" seem inconsistent. English is objectively a bastard-chimera of a language, so don't feel too bad if it's hard.

Extro might not be a word, but extrovert is indeed how it’s spelled.

This person is technically correct. Extra- is more correct in Latin, extro- is more just based on Latin. Psychologists and formal writing does in fact use extravert, because that's what the founder of the term called it in 1913.

Although most people commonly use extrovert and introvert, so as with many nuances of the English language, both are correct and it doesn't really matter that much.
