Though even in your quote, it’s clearly working in a more nuanced way than suppressing introversion. Being better able to understand others’ emotional state, and reduced anxiety, seem to be obvious improvements
- netbioserror 2y agoAnd yet, what are the trade-offs? Do we know what they're losing in return? I think it's fair to correlate (over)socialization with a lack of technical curiosity and drive. Those are valuable traits in both utilitarian and metaphysical senses. Do they retain such traits if they have them?
- jayski 2y agoHow do you get to that correlation? Anecdotal or is there some evidence?
- netbioserror 2y agoAnecdotal.

But if there’s some trait that causes some people misery but they offer this ‘utility’ for greater society, can we really lament people managing these traits by artificial means? (And in this case, the effect is temporary) > it's fair to correlate (over)socialization with a lack of technical curiosity and drive That is certainly an opinion.
