Lovely, a hit piece on anyone who's likely to have thrived during the past 2 years. Just another article that talks extensively about introversion and never actually explains what it means, other than to equate it with shyness which is mostly wrong. And just for good measure, it's suggested that introversion might be added to the DSM! Despite composing nearly half of any given population, you're a freak and you should feel bad for it, shun the non-believer. How dare you do well while the extroverts were left deeply affected from lockdowns.
- wing-_-nuts 5y agoI feel like you either didn't read the article, or you didn't read it for comprehension. This wasn't a hit piece so much as an examination of whether human interaction is actually necessary for some people.
- saul_goodman 5y agoI suppose everyone has a different threshold. Personally I'm reminded of this meme: "Sure I can paint a horse, I've heard them described many times" http://cdn.cavemancircus.com//wp-content/uploads/images/2019/april/dumping_grounds/4_15/funny_memes_2.jpg http://cdn.cavemancircus.com//wp-content/uploads/images/2019... The fact someone can write so many words about introversion and never actually explain what it is just helps perpetuate misunderstandings. It takes energy for an introvert to be around other people, extroverts gain energy around others. There are omniverts as well of course. All behaviors are derived from there. See how hard that was to write? It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with whether someone "has a need for human connection", that is completely unrelated to introversion. But now we have pieces like this try to make the case that introverts have no need for human connection, and then helpfully investigates if this is a condition that needs treatment. Totally harmless.
