i honestly can't think of one that isn't constrained in some form. in modern society, that is. freedom seems to be constrained by the existence of other people.

they're acting as their own simple bank. you give them money, they give you a debit card and a slick UI to track your money. when you give them money, they give it to another bank, who they have probably negotiated some sort of deal with.

do the things you describe really have anything to do with extroversion/introversion? i mean, the inability to go out into the world and make something of yourself is more along the lines of social anxiety disorder, not introversion.

i know, it was merely an easy, offhand example. its closer to in line for the pay of an RN who would also be reasonably qualified, though.
