First off, I'm sorry if you've somehow found my blog. I haven't added any tags to it on Neocities, so I don't want people to actually find it. If things here are shittily formated or presented, it's because it's not meant to be consumed by others.
Now, for the premise of this blog entry:
I care a lot about some labels in regards to language. I don't call myself 'introverted' or 'asocial' because of that, in spite of the fact I could probably qualify by some metrics, namely the Big Five.
I prefer being alone and more often than not feel annoyed by other people, but none of that implies either of the most common formal definitions of introversion, the first one being Jung's, which associates introversion with an inward focus of the libido, and the second one being the idea that introverts have their energy sapped by social interaction, and need to "recharge" after engaging in them.
There might be some word out there that accurately describes my propensity to want to be alone, but, even if it was technically correct, I'd guess the common understanding of the word by others would go against what I'd mean by it.
That is also why I never call myself a "ponyfag," unless I was tacitly referred to as one in an interaction. I actually don't like pony fans on anonymous imageboards, because they tend to be gatekeepers who hate on Equestria Girls and sometimes on episodes past Season 2.
I've spent the longest time not discussing the show on imageboards anyway, and wasn't even aware 4chan was behind its popularity when I started watching it, so the word "brony" is more than suitable as an alternative way to label me.
On 1500chan I could avoid that issue because all MLP discussion happened on /b/, so you couldn't really complain about EG fans unless you were the OP, and there were so few of us pony fans anyway that, more often than not, purists didn't have much of a problem with us helping keep the thread going.
Back to the main topic, the same problem I outlined befalls any usage I could employ of the word "normalfag," or "normies." I am, myself, a normalfag, since I'm neurotypical, not a major sexual deviant, and I'm not part of any fandom that uses the term.
I've decided to come up with some other word to replace "normies," so I've elected to use "nonmes," as in, non-me. The real problem I have is with Sartre's Other, and with the feeling of being judged and given crap, not with any kind of normalcy. Similarly, I don't have a problem with extroversion itself, just with a certain subtype of people who remind me of my non-solipsism.
From now on, on this blog, anytime I want to be deliberately acidic with someone who isn't me, in a way that highlights how they intrude upon my little mental island, I'll call them "nonmes."
