    • @Multitudes_
      @Multitudes_ 3 роки тому +13

      Why? People can't actually turn themselves from introverts into extroverts, they can only 'act' extroverted, which is exhausting if done too much, and in the end, it is not satisfying to live in discord with one's nature. The implication that introversion is a flaw that needs to be overcome is ignorant and toxic, and it's something that most introverts have been battered with far too much already.
      To all the introverts trying to be extroverts, I hope you learn to love yourself for who you really are and live in harmony with your nature. That doesn't mean you can't have relationships or improve your social skills to some extent, but trying to full-on be someone you're not is a recipe for burnout and misery in the long run. You're not an introvert because you're lacking something; you're an introvert because you have different things going on inside you, different skills and strengths, and a different way of taking in the world and experiencing life that is not any less valid or valuable.
