They do have value. Extroverts just don't acknowledge that value because it isn't what they want to do.
- moe091 4y agowas gonna say the same exact thing. The comment you replied to is and example of internalizing the idea that extroversion is good and introversion isn't - the values of introversion have had their value stripped away in popular consensus
- conductr 4y agoPerhaps poor or incomplete word choices. Those have no value… to the extrovert… because they get it elsewhere, or feel are unnecessary. I’m not an extrovert so can’t speak directly to what their thought process is. But there’s just not a lot of tangible/practical reasons to tell an extrovert “you need to go sit at home and do some self reflection”. Where as, if for example, you’re having trouble fund raising or career pathing the advice of “you should network more” is pretty damn practical.
- conductr 4y agoI acknowledge it and value it for myself but find that I’d often would not recommend it to others as a way to create value in a quantifiable way. Things like networking can be more directly linked to positive outcomes.
