Its so true that US society is strongly tilted towards extroverts. As an introvert I feel like I'm forced to live on the edge of everything, keeping my head down while still engaging in performative socialization just to keep the extroverts from expressing hostility towards me. Their culture is often one of pushiness, aggressiveness, and wealth/status competition games and none of those appeal to me on any level.

Meanwhile its very difficult to find other introverts, no doubt because they are also hiding.




>performative socialization

Lol, this explains it wonderfully.
