Speaking as an introvert, most of my friends were made through the intercession of an extrovert. He was like a central hub who joined our wires together. XD
I’ve been in a friendship group of that model and it sucked, because I didn’t feel like I mattered. I might have hung out with them, but I realized that nobody was ever interested in me, because they were the extrovert’s friends, and not my friends. I much prefer 1-on-1 friendships that I start myself where we gain more people one by one

And the plural of personal anecdote is not universal truth.
Hey, now, it’s just a goofy meme, not a polemic on why introverts must find an extrovert.

Sorry it ended up that way for you. I eventually went my separate ways with the extrovert but stayed friends with everyone else.
