Ipso Facto: Shy?

My teacher asks, "Are you shy?" of a new student who just rushed into class.

1. Did you seriously just ask that? 
     - aren't you going to judge the level of shyness whatever the response may be anyways

2. Why do you need to know?
     - do you really need assurance and are hoping that that person is, in fact, not shy 

3. If the person is, in fact, more reserved than the person next to them who acts like a squirrel on crack and your demanding inquiry challenges their character, then I must tell you that they will retreat into themselves because you just insulted them. 
     - curiosity killed the cat, just saying. tisk tisk

4. If the person is, in fact, a chipmunks are cuter on crack, then they could either 1. take offense, or 2. laugh it off and exclaim "of course not (interlude: almost as if it is a bad trait and they could never be affiliated with such inadequacies)!"

Take it or leave it, but at least think about how you label people [TO THEIR FACES], because those who are reserved in the slightest could possibly take offense to it.

Post Script: What if the student actually was, in fact, shy?? hashtag awkward...

The "Vert"

Extrovert or introvert, not a pervert.

After a painfully long introduce yourself to the class "what a fun activity this is," the teacher proceeded to apologize to all of the introverts if it made them feel uncomfortable since they are probably not used to sharing their name with anybody anyways.

Don't apologize to me, lady. Apologize to all of the extroverts who you kept quiet throughout the class duration until now.

Yes, I put my "fun interesting fact about myself" as, "I memorized pi to the 100th decimal place" - which is actually a lie, because I memorized it to the 200th -- I was just being modest.

Take it or leave it, but at least think about it, because extrovertism and introvertism goes both ways.
