Understanding Introverts - Myth vs. Reality

[Italianman]

Nothing to understand. Introversion is caused by the same thing that causes Asperger Syndrome, which is intestinal bacteria, fungi (candida / yeast) imbalances.

Keanu Reeves has become the internet’s crush, whether he knows it or not. Normally on the channel, we cover extroverted celebrities, who charm in larger, obvious ways. What’s amazing about Keanu (aside from the fact that he’s 54 and looks 34) is that he is massively popular in spite of his reclusive and more introverted nature.

So in this video, we are going to explore why Keanu is so popular, and what you can learn to exude incredible charisma as an introvert.

0:31 - Reason #1: He directs praise towards others.
2:05 - Reason #2: He exudes zen-like presence.
3:15 - Reason #3: He uses enthusiastic hand gestures.
5:12 - Reason #4: He embraces his type.
7:03 - Reason #5: He lives generously.

Ex-Google TechLead reveals the truth about introverts and extroverts.

The introvert thing is a myth. I find that introverts are more social and open to me. Because they dont try to conform to cliques and copy the crowd. So they are more likely to do something unconventional like socialize with a stranger which in many places is taboo.

Introverts also value authenticity more so if u are authentic they are more comfortable talking to u. An extrovert will be put off if u violate social norms or political correctness. So its not true that extroverts are more open or social in my experience.

Question. Since I care about social connection a lot that means I can't be a true introvert right? Am I neither introvert or extrovert? An extrovert conforms to the majority so I can't be that either right? Do introverts suffer from loneliness the way I do?

Since I don't like being a hermit or loner I can't be a real introvert right? However I'm not a conformist either so I can't be a true extrovert either. So what am I then? Am I a blend of both or neither?

I don't know if anyone is really an introvert, @Winston. When you and @Kangarunner did a video together you were talking for hours and had interesting things to say so you weren't introverted there. But if you were around normies who just talked about retarded things like gossip, woke Netflix shows, and were mean to you because you are ugly then you would be an introvert because they're not saying anything interesting and they're being assholes. It seems like anyone in America who doesn't shut the f**k up and talks about mindless bullshit nonstop is considered a weird introvert which would be different in other cultures. It seems like you are just a normal masculine guy. Men who talk nonstop are like women who don't know when to shut the f**k up. "Extroverted men" are really just feminine men who take on a feminine personality like that.

Yep. Most Americans talk about about inane, politically correct, sh*t. Anything else is out of their level of understanding. I think we place too much expectations on the normies and we don't fit into their vision while they don't fit into ours. But you gotta interact and do business with the normies, so what can we do?

On the flipside, If there are majority of population that thinks like we do in Happierabroad and minority of population that talks about inane sh*t, then "they" will be branded as social outcasts and we become the normies.

There are no absolute introverts or absolute extroverts. Every person is a mix of both. America makes some people think they're introverts because they've been socially excluded and they spend too much time alone.
