My teacher called me an 'introvert' at parents evening,I think it was negative to say that!?

Better than being called late for dinner.

Being called an introvert is not a negative thing. It simply means that you do best in situations which are quieter and that you get your energy from spending time alone. I'm an introvert and really feel uncomfortable in situations where there are a lot of people. Don't ignore your teacher, it only will reflect badly on you and likely cause you some problems with your grades if participation is counted. Try to be well prepared for your course and participate as much as you feel comfortable with and don't dish out attitude. That will only give the teacher cause for telling your parents about this. As for taking her comment that you are an introvert as being negative, it really isn't, but maybe you should discuss this with your teacher and tell he how you interpreted the remark. She will likely explain to you how you appear and suggest ways in which you could improve your performance. Listen to what she says and try to follow her suggestions as much as you can. You just might find that participating more makes the course more interesting and that you might enjoy it more. At the very least, participating more will likely be good for your grades.

The idea that introverts are shy, lack communication skills, etc are your own labels for the term.

I'm an introvert and I don't think it's an insult. Some people are introverts and some people are extroverts. Being an introvert is not a bad thing at all.

She just want you to come out of your shell get your head out of the sand and enjoy your life Introverts (I don't care what anyone says) are little scared or there own shadow people There afraid to be themselves to let loose and have fun There too concerned about what other people think of them so they stay hidden

You would benefit from realizing that what you think an introvert is, is inaccurate.

Being an introvert is not a bad thing. It's simply NOT an extrovert.

You are either an introvert or an extrovert. One is not better or worse than the other.

I can understand why you would be offended, though I dont think that's rude. Your teacher did not mean to offend you, she was just describing how she sees you. It's not just about being shy, INtrovert also means a person would rather stay inside than be outside. Would rather be by themselves than In a group. It doesn't justify it very much, but maybe that helps. Being called an introvert isn't an insult it's more of a statement of mind. An extrovert would go out all the time and party and whatever, but introverts like the piece and quietness of being alone. In a way it's kind of calling you independent.

At parents evening, ALL of my teachers called me an introvert! Because, well, I am one! Well, I wasn't told exactly that. They said I was too quiet. It's nothing negative so don't worry :)
