Myth #6 describes me. I prefer authentic one on one connections rather than spreading myself "too thin". I think that's a problem w/ people with too many friends. Having too many friends is good but it also means you can't be great friends to all of them.
- potatolicious 15y agoI used to think (and act) the same, but I think it's really an unfair judgment on extroverts. What happened is that I started dedicating more time/effort to my relationships, and what I've found is that I can maintain good, meaningful friendships with a larger sphere of people than I thought would be possible. It's also a mistake to believe that extroverts have a large circle of loose friendships and that's it. This can't be further from the truth - everyone has close friends, and much looser acquaintances. It's one of the more annoying aspects of the "introverts are people too" movement - the constant need to put-down extroverts and the persistent claim that extroverts' relationships are predominantly shallow.
