Many of you will appreciate this talk about introverts and their role in society:

I especially liked the admonitions at the end the identification of the "ambivert" in the middle, as I resemble that remark and never had a name for it.

Thanks for this, I found it really interesting.
Some of us even suppress our true type from ourselves in order to fit in. And wonder why we're burnt out.
But at some point the realisation is going to hit us - and how liberating it is!!!
I like the simple idea, extroverts gain energy from being with groups of people and struggle with solitude. Introverts lose energy from being with groups of people and need solitude to recover.
Thanks again
