RE: No, You Are Not An Introvert
The jungian narrative suggests that introverts get their energy from within themselves while extroverts get it from those around them.
From what I've heard Jung has stated, a person who is purely a extrovert/introvert would be in a lunatics asylum. People are both, but people have a preference.
A person has to have awareness of their mind and the outside world together to stay sane.
Jung has defined Introversion/extroversion:
Introversion: One who is a introvert is primarily concerned with the subject (yourself). The real world is the inner-workings of the mind. In theory the introvert processes the world like a mound of clay, objects get molded into the clay leaving a impression. The introvert pays attention to impression the object made on them. The extrovert pays attention to the object primarily and not the impressions.
From what I understand about a "Introvert". (humor me) In theory they have a accounting ledger inside their brains. They need to make sure the ledger is "balanced" eventually. If the ledger is not updated they dont feel connected to the "real world".
Extroversion: One is concerned with the "object". The outside world is the real world.
So, Yes through nature and nurture a person does have a preference for One vs the other. Technology may change our genetics over time to favor introversion. You can have quiet and/or shy extroverts and have boisterous and/or bombastic introverts.
Look into Micheal pierce on Youtube he explains Introvert/extrovert well and check out on Reddit r/MBTI.
We have the preference but we are never one or the other hence the bogus of the terminology.
So the terminology shouldn't be used period?
yeap
