FWIW, I tend to be
an introvert, but I'm much more of a dog person.
Maybe the unconditional love and affection is a salve to the loneliness that introversion can bring?
- catapart 3y agoAh, good point! Even after the introvert/extrovert split (which, itself, has outliers), there's still the "what kind of introvert" splitting to be done.
- TheCleric 3y agoAs an introvert with dogs, this is spot on. I also think that for some introverts, part of the introversion has a social anxiety aspect where we’re over analyzing every interaction, which is also exhausting. With dogs you have none of that. It’s relaxing because of how straightforward it is. That isn’t to say “replace people with dogs”, we all need human relationships. Just that it’s sometimes nice to have a furry friend who doesn’t judge you.
