To use a fairly broad brush and a potentially overdramatic example, starving an extrovert of contact with others is tantamount to torture. I know introverts don't understand this on a fundamental level, but the only times I've ever even vaguely considered harming myself are when I was in forced isolation for long periods of time. To know that there are opportunities to socialize and grow my friendships, and those opportunities are being intentionally and needlessly withheld from me as some kind of "character growth" would evoke a kind of primal rage that would have caused me permanent harm as a child. I'm extremely grateful my parents saw the value of learning how to build and maintain relationships, and I wouldn't dream of taking that away from my children, or any other children I somehow had supervision over.
