“When people are interrupting each other - when they're constantly tugging the conversation back and forth between their preferred directions - then the conversation itself is just a battle of wills”
This is a common lazy conclusion that extraverts frequently hear from introverts— when they can be bothered to speak up.
No, it’s not a battle of wills. It’s not really a battle. It’s the music of enthusiasm; the peal of many bells. Energy is not necessarily a curse; placidity is not necessarily a virtue.
Let’s respect that there are different cultures. I come from enthusiasm culture. My culture works. There are other cultures, and they can also work.
