This is the thing that throws me. At some point, good social skills came to mean "extrovert". I don't accept that definition. I'd much rather spend my time in deep conversation with one or two people than flitting around like a social butterfly having silly micro-conversations with total strangers. I don't think this makes me anti-social, just more selective.

I'm not conflating extrovert and good social skills. I'm saying the bucket of introverts, in aggregate, have spent less time socializing.
