People in the middle tend to sleep, they don't get a lot of interaction, yet they get some interaction. They're kind of in the "not bad / not great".
Some people are super happy, and it seems to be directly correlated to Interaction++. Interaction++ -> Happy++.
Some people are super sad, and it weirdly seems to be directly correlated to Interaction++. And then eventually almost stop interacting. Probably because its always: Interaction++ -> Happy--.
The chart only really works till the middle, like the article's written from an Extrovert's perspective, like most of existence.
- ajkjk 3y agoI suspect there are a ton of people who would be much more extroverted if they had places and communities where it felt like their style of extroversion was welcome. Instead they are lonely. It's not just about interaction. It's about meaningful interaction. When you get lots of interaction but none of it meaningful to you, it's just as bad as not getting any at all. The hope of "coming across" something meaningful keeps you going... for while... until it doesn't.
