because by today's definition of it, I'd say almost everyone are 'ambiverts' (another unnecessary term) anyway.
Introvert - someone who energises by being alone
Extrovert - someone who energesis by spending time w others

The problem is almost no one is at either extreme ends of the spectrum. If you actually like spending time all by yourself all the time, that's not being introvert, that's being anti-social. In the same way, if you actually like spending time with others all the time, you must be a super soldier or something since you aren't having any time to sleep/rest or go home.

In reality, people all need time to rest and also need time to socialise.
And so if almost everyone are just ambiverts, then why the hell do we even have the other two terms 'introvert' and 'extrovert' for? It's practically just popularising the habit of being A) anti-social loser or B) a redbull energy machine

Yes, but makes sense since you don't know what anti social means anyways

antisocial already has a definition and it is definitely not just someone who stays at home as often as possible

They are terms used to describe general ends of a spectrum. Your OP already shows why the terms are useful.
