Take any concept, put it on a spectrum and name both ends, and people will never stop using it as their entire identity. Be just as useful as deciding if we are all gryfindor or slytherin.

There are so many terms or pairs of opposites that should be totally neutral, but are in fact valued very obviously and often in a completely unspoken and subconscious way.
What I mean is, 'extrovert - introvert': both terms just objectively describe something. They do not value one over the other, and everybody who thinks about it for a few minutes should understand that it's about finding a balance. But society (or something) values 'extrovert' as "good", opposed to 'introvert', and you will find it very hard to overcome that even if you see it.
As I said, there are many more (pairs of) terms like this. Another would be 'freedom - rules'. It's very hard to argue in favor of rules when the other keeps saying "but freedom".
Society also values waking up early for some reason.
It’d be like “Extroverted? You’ve got ADHD.”
Imagine a room full of extroverts. This would essentially be a circus without audience.
Its just a horde. Somebody gets lynched within like an hour.
im usually very extroverted, id love an article like that amy tips?
If you don’t already, actively search for some time to spend by yourself. Don’t text people. Don’t go on social media (even here). Do a quiet activity (read a book, draw, write, etc.) or meditate for an hour. Feel only your thoughts.
Next time you’re with a group that isn’t all extroverts, maybe try a mini version of just existing. Appreciate silence.
All I can really think of — I honestly think both parts of these meme are reductive and inaccurate af.
And when you notice someone else talking, wait until they stop talking before you start. Like actively count to 3 when they have said their last word. Holes in a conversation aren't a bad thing, especially if they are as short as this.
This is going to sound weird, but: actually shut your mouth. Physically keep it shut. You'll end up talking anyway, and that's okay. When you notice you're talking more than most again, physically shut your mouth.
It definitely is seen as a problem to be fixed
Totally extroverted?
Here's the benefits of having friends with interiority who might be real people!
