Crap. It almost sounds like one of those fights that was not really about what it was "about," if that makes sense. I say that because it's difficult to see why your T got so fixated on *one* strategy--returning *this* item to do *this* specific thing. The focus on charity also seems odd--plenty of people lead giving, fulfilled lives without doing "charity."
I agree with you--introverted does *not* equate with self-indulgence. Introverts simply need alone time to refuel their emotional resources--a refueling that extroverts get from relating to others. One could argue--and I do--that introverts actually make fewer demands for "indulgence" on other people, because they get more of their needs met during their time alone.
Maybe you should ask him how much money *he* gave to charity last year, and calculate what percentage of his income that represents :)
