It's a good video that addresses a lot of misconceptions. I do believe I'm an introvert, but I also see a lot of people greatly misunderstanding introversion/extroversion.

One part of the video that really hit home for me is the part where he talks about having a purpose. I can speak in front of large crowds because I'm there with a defined purpose, whereas I've never gotten used to small talk. This became really obvious back when I was in a band. People would talk to me after the show at the table and assume I was the same person I was during our performance, whereas in a way that was just a role I played, but it was comfortable for me because I was there with a purpose. It's not this alone that defines introversion/extroversion, but I feel like a lot of people could benefit from understanding this. It's why most of the friends I make are centered around shared hobbies and interests.

I usually don't click YouTube links, but this was good.

this shit is so fucking obnoxious. if 'introvert' basically functions as a preferred positive label for people with social anxiety [ie 'special needs' instead of the r-word], fine. people with social anxiety ARE VERY LIKELY to be introverts because anxiety causes you to exert excess energy. having social anxiety shouldn't disqualify you from being an introvert, that makes no fucking sense.

also lol this dude has another video called 'Stop Being A Low Value Man'. i rest my case

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

you're probably not an introvert
